In the wide world of 2D materials, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) holds a special place due to its excellent characteristics. In addition to its thermal, chemical and mechanical stability, hBN demonstrates high thermal conductivity, low compressibility, and wide band gap around 6 eV, making it a promising candidate for many groundbreaking applicatio...

The identification and description of point sources is one of the oldest problems in astronomy, yet even today the correct statistical treatment for point sources remains one of the field’s hardest problems. For dim or crowded sources, likelihood-based inference methods are required to estimate the uncertainty on the characteristics of the source p...

This paper presents the recent progress in the development of the on-the-fly global variance reduction (OTF-GVR) method for Monte Carlo (MC) shielding calculations. OTF-GVR method provides on-the-fly weight window mesh (WWM) generation along with the particle transport simulation. In the previous study, the solution for the so-called ‘long-history’...

Inverse Problems
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that reconstructs the interior conductivity distribution of samples from a set of voltage measurements performed on the sample boundary. EIT reconstruction is a non-linear and ill-posed inverse problem. Consequently, the non-linearity results in a high computational cost of s...

Nonthermal plasma has been explored as a green technology for improving seed wettability and crop productivity. In this investigation, we demonstrate scalable dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma treatment of rice seeds at atmospheric pressure to elucidate the effect of plasma on seed hydration, hygroscopicity, and moisture content (MC). These...

Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) suffer from catastrophic failure caused by serious self-heating, thus limiting their output power and working stability. In this study, we observed a distinctive failure morphology on the back facet of watt-level power QCL emitting at λ ∼ 7.7 µm. The failure was caused by a massive localized current and the channel of ...

Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) quantitatively visualizes in vivo superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), which has shown great promises in biomedicine. In this paper, we propose a single harmonic-based narrowband MPI approach via measuring a single harmonic—3f 0 harmonic—of the SPIONs induced in an excitation magnetic field with frequ...

Ta-based high-κ dielectrics can be synthesized via the oxidation of TaS2 films. In this study, we investigated the wet and dry oxidation of TaS2 films via thermal annealing and plasma irradiation, respectively. The specific vibration observed via Raman spectroscopy, the bonding states observed via x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and capacitance m...

In this article, we demonstrate the inference of two-dimensional tungsten concentration profiles in tokamak plasmas, using Gaussian process tomography applied to bolometry and assuming a specific model for the tungsten cooling factor. In ITER, tungsten has been selected for divertor material due to its low tritium retention and ability to handle la...
