Jason Horng, Eric W. Martin, Yu-Hsun Chou, Emmanuel Courtade, Tsu-chi Chang, Chu-Yuan Hsu, Michael-Henr Wentzel, Hanna G. Ruth, Tien-chang Lu, Steven T. Cundiff, Feng Wang, and Hui Deng

Phys. Rev. Applied 14, 024009 (2020) - Published 5 August, 2020

Perfect absorption by a two-dimensional (2D) system allows extreme sensitivity to small modulations in light intensity, enabling a host of applications. The phenomenon typically requires complex photonic structures or multiple coherent beams, but this study demonstrates perfect absorption using just a monolayer of MoSe2 in front of a flat mirror. Success is due to the strong exciton-photon interaction (compared to loss and inhomogeneity) that is unique to 2D semiconductors. With its robustness, simplicity, and flexibility in exciton control, this system provides a route for ultrafast energy-efficient modulation of perfect absorption on integrated semiconductor platforms.

Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering Through Thick Biological Tissues by Single-Wavefront Shaping

Phys. Rev. Applied 14, 024019 (2020) - Published 10 August, 2020

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) offers many advantages for optical nonlinear biological imaging due to its unique chemical specificity, but it requires two incident beams with distinct frequencies to remain focused despite the light scattering inside biological tissues. This study overcomes that challenge by using the transmission matrix of a medium—measured by shaping the incident wavefront—to refocus both incident beams and recover CARS signals behind a thick biological tissue. This approach sets the limits for the general frame of multifrequency-mixing nonlinear imaging inside biological tissues, and provides useful strategies under real microscopy conditions.

Phys. Rev. Applied 14, 024047 (2020) - Published 18 August, 2020

Nonreciprocal wave propagation is important for signal processing and wave-based computing, but has not been realized in spin-wave devices. The authors engineer such nonreciprocity for spin waves in a transversely magnetized ferromagnetic bilayer so that the waves completely stop in one direction while still propagating with significant velocity in the opposite one. Electrical and optical measurements are combined with analytical and numerical modeling to provide a picture of the chiral mode hybridization responsible for this phenomenon. This work is an experimental realization of a magnonic diode and paves the way for designing complex spin-wave devices required for magnon computing.

Phys. Rev. Applied 14, 024064 (2020) - Published 21 August, 2020

Thermoelectrics are used in energy harvesting technology for power generation and refrigeration, but await breakthroughs with a higher figure of merit (ZT), especially at room-to-cryogenic temperatures. Via explicit treatment of electron-phonon scattering, this study shows that multipocketed full Heusler compounds Sr2BiAu and Sr2SbAu could feature notably high theoretical ZT. Stability and defects analysis also suggest that these compounds may be synthesizable and favorably n-type. A successful experimental realization of these compounds could pave new grounds in bulk thermoelectrics.

Phys. Rev. Applied 14, 024065 (2020) - Published 24 August, 2020

Reservoir computing is a machine learning paradigm that exploits nonlinear dissipative dynamical systems for temporal information processing, and can be combined with quantum computing to form quantum reservoir computers. This study proposes a class of quantum reservoir computers that can be implemented on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers and possesses the properties required to be reservoir computers, especially universality. Efficient implementation and proof-of-principle demonstration on several cloud-based IBM superconducting quantum devices suggest that the proposed scheme could lead to promising applications of NISQ computers.

Silicon MOS devices provide a promising platform to create a large ensemble of interacting qubits and bring quantum devices to a large scale, but the realization of basic operations such as charge detection is still challenging. The authors demonstrate a silicon MOS device with an array of silicon quantum dots capacitively and tunnel coupled. The charge occupancy of all the quantum dots in the structure is probed using detectors embedded within the array, and the Coulomb disorder is quantified. This study constitutes a significant step towards the control of large arrays of semiconductor qubits.

Phys. Rev. Applied 14, 024087 (2020) - Published 28 August, 2020

High-resolution broadband spectroscopy is crucial for studying complex molecular structures and accurately retrieving the line shapes associated with their energy levels. These line shapes carry vital information about a molecule’s thermodynamic properties such as temperature, pressure, and concentration, which are desirable for e.g. the petroleum industry, environmental monitoring, and medical breath analysis. This study shows how to obtain a molecular spectrum with about 80 kHz of resolution and 7.86 MHz of spectral sampling. The promising high-resolution technique allows complete gas characterization by simultaneously measuring thermodynamic properties and analyzing composition.

Extreme Sound Confinement From Quasibound States in the Continuum

Sibo Huang, Tuo Liu, Zhiling Zhou, Xu Wang, Jie Zhu, and Yong Li

Phys. Rev. Applied 14, 021001 (2020) - Published 7 August, 2020

Extreme confinement of incident acoustic waves remains challenging, because of the conflict between weak dissipation and eliminating reflection. Help might be found in bound states in the continuum (BICs), resonances with zero leakage and zero linewidth (infinite quality factor) within a continuum of radiating states. This study presents an acoustic quasi-BIC supported by two detuned resonant cavities, a system featuring compensating very low rates of radiative and dissipative decay, to completely trap incoming waves for a long time. This work opens an avenue to study intriguing physics, and may find application in sensing, filtering, absorption, or energy harvesting.

Encapsulation Narrows and Preserves the Excitonic Homogeneous Linewidth of Exfoliated Monolayer MoSe2

Phys. Rev. Applied 14, 021002 (2020) - Published 11 August, 2020

Monolayer semiconductors have the potential to transform the industry, but their intrinsic properties are difficult to characterize due to strong interaction with the environment. This study uses multidimensional coherent spectroscopy to measure the intrinsic homogeneous linewidth of a monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenide that has been isolated from its environment through encapsulation. The measurements reveal that the linewidths become substantially narrower after encapsulation, indicating reduced sample degradation. These findings have the potential to impact the materials and process-control methods used in the semiconductor industry.

Low-Power Switching of Magnetization Using Enhanced Magnetic Anisotropy with Application of a Short Voltage Pulse

R. Matsumoto and H. Imamura

Phys. Rev. Applied 14, 021003 (2020) - Published 31 August, 2020

In spintronics, magnetization switching based on voltage control of magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) continues to attract attention, because it reduces the write power in magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM). Further reduction of the write power is required for next-generation MRAM. Conventionally the magnetic anisotropy (MA) is eliminated during the voltage pulse, but here the authors propose a scheme in which the MA is enhanced, to induce precession around an almost perpendicular axis. They show that pulse duration can be reduced to a few tens of picoseconds, without deteriorating thermal stability. Such a short pulse helps to reduce energy loss by Joule heating.

Thermoelectrics are used in energy harvesting technology for power generation and refrigeration, but await breakthroughs with a higher figure of merit (ZT), especially at room-to-cryogenic temperatures. Via explicit treatment of electron-phonon scattering, this study shows that multipocketed full Heusler compounds Sr2BiAu and Sr2SbAu could feature notably high theoretical ZT. Stability and defects analysis also suggest that these compounds may be synthesizable and favorably n-type. A successful experimental realization of these compounds could pave new grounds in bulk thermoelectrics.

Reservoir computing is a machine learning paradigm that exploits nonlinear dissipative dynamical systems for temporal information processing, and can be combined with quantum computing to form quantum reservoir computers. This study proposes a class of quantum reservoir computers that can be implemented on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers and possesses the properties required to be reservoir computers, especially universality. Efficient implementation and proof-of-principle demonstration on several cloud-based IBM superconducting quantum devices suggest that the proposed scheme could lead to promising applications of NISQ computers.

Silicon MOS devices provide a promising platform to create a large ensemble of interacting qubits and bring quantum devices to a large scale, but the realization of basic operations such as charge detection is still challenging. The authors demonstrate a silicon MOS device with an array of silicon quantum dots capacitively and tunnel coupled. The charge occupancy of all the quantum dots in the structure is probed using detectors embedded within the array, and the Coulomb disorder is quantified. This study constitutes a significant step towards the control of large arrays of semiconductor qubits.

High-resolution broadband spectroscopy is crucial for studying complex molecular structures and accurately retrieving the line shapes associated with their energy levels. These line shapes carry vital information about a molecule’s thermodynamic properties such as temperature, pressure, and concentration, which are desirable for e.g. the petroleum industry, environmental monitoring, and medical breath analysis. This study shows how to obtain a molecular spectrum with about 80 kHz of resolution and 7.86 MHz of spectral sampling. The promising high-resolution technique allows complete gas characterization by simultaneously measuring thermodynamic properties and analyzing composition.
