We propose and evaluate the heterostructure based on the graphene layer (GL) with the lateral electron injection from the side contacts and the hole vertical injection via the black phosphorus layer (BL) (P+−PL-PL-GL heterostructure). Due to a relatively small energy of the holes injected from the PL into the GL (about 100 meV, smaller than the energy of optical phonons in the GL which is about 200 meV), the hole injection can effectively cool down the two-dimensional electron-hole plasma in the GL. This simplifies the realization of the interband population inversion and the achievement of the negative dynamic conductivity in the terahertz (THz) frequency range enabling the amplification of the surface plasmon modes. The latter can lead to the plasmon lasing. The conversion of the plasmons into the output radiation can be used for new types of the THz sources.

High-pressure synthesis of denser glass has been a longstanding interest in condensed-matter physics and materialsscience because of its potentially broad industrial application. Nevertheless, understanding its nature under extreme pressures has yet to be clarified due to experimental and theoretical challenges. Here we reveal the formation of OSi4 tetraclusters associated with that of SiO7 polyhedra in SiO2 glass under ultrahigh pressures to 200 gigapascal confirmed both experimentally and theoretically. Persistent homology analyses with molecular dynamics simulations found increased packing fraction of atoms whose topological diagram at ultrahigh pressures is similar to a pyrite-type crystalline phase, although the formation of tetraclusters is prohibited in the crystalline phase. This critical difference would be caused by the potential structural tolerance in the glass for distortion of oxygen clusters. Furthermore, an expanded electronic band gap demonstrates that chemical bonds survive at ultrahigh pressure. This opens up the synthesis of topologically disordered dense oxide glasses.

600 mV magneto-electric switching in 30 nm La-doped BiFeO 3 multiferroic oxide and a proof of concept 7 μV spin-orbit signal output in Pt / CoFe local spin injection device with 100 μA supply current were experimentally demonstrated at room temperature for the 1 st time. Also demonstrated was a path towards 70 mV spin orbit output using Bi 2 Se 3 in a local spin injection device. These are key accomplishments for WRITE and READ building blocks, respectively, toward realization of a magneto-electric spin-orbit (MESO) energy-efficient logic device. Moreover, the 1 st generation of a MESO logic device with a functional READ unit is demonstrated.

Optical dynamic focusing has emerged as a speed, complexity and efficiency bottleneck across various applications, which include scanning multi-photon microscopy in biology, maskless lithography and micromachining in material processing, and wavefront correction. Here, we present a 32-ring 23,852-pixel concentric micromirror array capable of performing dynamic focusing for wavelengths of up to 1040 nm with a response rate of up to 8.75 kHz, 30 V drive and a focusing full-width-half-maximum to range ratio of 4.8%.

Traumatic brain injury is the leader in the ranking of mortality and invalidity. The surgical repair of a defect of the skull by cranioplasty has been practiced since ancient times, when materials of non-biological origin were used for this purpose. New materials and processes are sought to improve osseintegration of implants. Like any surgical procedure, cranioplasty involves complications that may be related to the surgical technique and/or to the patient's tolerance to the material used. This work described a biocompatible medical device that include two supported meshes for providing mechanical strength and osseointegration properties of the implant, and a multiplayer porous material in between them that is loaded with the required bioactive antibacterial compound to promote a controlled and sustained release of the pharmaceutical agents at the site of surgical intervention. To increase osseointegration, meshes are designed with an open structure and coated with biocompatible materials such as hydroxyapatite. The composition gradient in the multilayer porous material is attained by loading successive layers of porous material with different amounts of bioactive materials and then stacking them to create a gradient of composition across the porous material.
