Zaitsev-Zotov S.
A biaxial tensile device for the transport study of layered materials is described. The device is mounted on the standard 24 pin zero force connector and can be moved between various setups. The compact design of the device makes it suitable for a wide range of studies. In our case, it is placed inside a 50 mm diameter chamber in the cryocooler and is used in the temperature range 9–310 K. A sample is glued in the center of a polyimide cruciform substrate, the ends of which are connected to a tension system driven by four computer-controlled stepper motors providing tensile force up to 30 N. Computer simulation results and their experimental verification show that tensile strain along one axis depends on the tensile load along the perpendicular direction, and this dependence turns out to be relatively strong and exceeds 40%. The operation of the device is demonstrated by studying the effect of deformation on the electrical conductivity of the layered compound 2H-NbS2.

Numerous studies have provided compelling evidence that the probability distribution of avalanche sizes follows a power law, and that 1/f noise is present in the stochastic dynamics of landslides. We present a theoretical explanation of these phenomena within the framework of self-organized criticality theory, proposing a discrete-time model in the form of a sandpile cellular ...

A discrete-time model is presented for the self-organization of the X/Twitter social network to the edge of a phase transition, characterized by avalanche-like propagation of information in the network. The model is based on the analogy between the critical dynamics of the X social network and sandpile cellular automata with Manna rule on the Chung-Lu ...

Superconducting properties of metallic micro- and nanowires can be entirely different from those of bulk superconductors. Of particular interest is the nonequilibrium current-induced state of a quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channel. The most interesting phenomenon here is the stepped I–V characteristic, explained by a process known as phase slip center activation. If the origin of such step-like ...

Machine learning (ML) has become a powerful tool for accelerating the development of carbon-based supercapacitors;
however, most published models assume that a single predictive framework can describe both conventional
porous carbons and hybrid carbon electrodes. Here, we test this assumption using a comprehensive
benchmark dataset and an extended literature-curated dataset enriched with synthesis- and electrolyte-related
descriptors. Three ML algorithms ...

This paper compares the ranging precision of direct time-of-flight (dToF) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) LiDAR architectures, both using a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD). Both systems operate at 1550 nm with a 50 ps pulsed laser and time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC). The dToF configuration achieved approximately 100 µm precision at 10 m, while the NLOS configuration achieved 500 µm precision for ...

Magnetothermopower and giant magnetoresistance in spinel-type compound has attracted a lot of attention recently. Ab initio computations of the electronic structure and the Seebeck coefficient of the structure are reported. The mixed nature of magnetism was identified to be caused by the competition between ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic impacts, with the corresponding determined exchanged parameters: meV, meV, meV. Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity of the compound in the temperature range of K along with its ...

В оптических исследованиях образец зачастую должен находиться в условиях, отличных от стандартных, например: при повышенной или пониженной температурах, в вакууме, в атмосфере инертного или агрессивного газа. Для создания подобных условий необходима камера с прозрачным окном, помещаемым под объектив микроскопа с большим рабочим отрезком. Зачастую такая камера представляет собой оптический криостат для микроскопии, дорогостоящий и не ...

Two-dimensional systems with Rashba spin-orbit coupling are not Galilean invariant and therefore electron–
electron collisions in them may affect the current. However, when taken alone, they cannot ensure a nonzero
dc resistivity, so their effects are masked by impurity scattering. Here we calculate the related finite-frequency
response and show that the electron–electron scattering in clean Rashba conductors decreases ...

We calculate the electrical and thermal conductivity of a two-dimensional electron gas with strong spin-orbit
coupling in which the scattering is dominated by electron-electron collisions. Despite the apparent absence of
Galilean invariance in the system, the two-particle scattering does not affect the electrical conductivity above

Electron-electron collisions are known to cause a nonlocal voltage drop in the presence of current flow. The
semiphenomenological theory predicts this drop to be opposite to the direction of the current in the ballistic
regime. We use a microscopic approach and show that the sign of this drop may be of both signs depending
on the temperature and ...
