Splitting and merging behaviors of the positive streamer propagating in an atmospheric pressure argon plasma jet
Atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) offers extensive potential applications and has become a hot topic in low-temperature plasma research. The streamer dynamics are crucial to the distribution of r...
Radiation force alignment for accurate orbital angular momentum measurement in acoustic vortex beams
We introduce a hologram-based method to determine the physically optimal axis for measuring the orbital angular momentum (OAM) transferred by acoustic vortex beams to an absorbing target. The axis is...
Surface-modified ZnO nanowire arrays ultraviolet photodetector with Cu nanoparticles for enhanced detection performance
The state-of-the-art ultraviolet photodetectors (UV PDs) have been extensively used in environmental monitoring, security checks, and optical communication. The conventional ZnO UV PDs often exhibit l...
Electrical-controlled and layer-filtered altermagnetic tunnel junction with all-in-one architecture
Altermagnets (AMs) offer a rare combination of zero net magnetization and non-relativistic spin splitting. However, achieving efficient switching of AM states remains a critical challenge for practica...
