Analytical Criteria for Designing Multiresonance Filters in Scattering Systems, with Application to Microwave Metasurfaces

Mohammed Benzaouia, John D. Joannopoulos, Steven G. Johnson, and Aristeidis Karalis

Phys. Rev. Applied 17, 034018 (2022) - Published 7 March, 2022

Designing filter devices with precisely desired transmission spectra is of utmost importance in wave physics. For sharp spectra (such as elliptic filters with transmission zeros), brute-force methods to directly optimize the spectrum face severe numerical challenges, while circuit models and coupled-mode theory apply only in certain limits. The authors provide a set of universal analytical criteria based on quasinormal-mode theory (QNMT) for designing 2-port systems, and apply the method to a variety of microwave metasurface filters configured for polarization-preserving transmission, reflective polarization conversion, or diffractive anomalous reflection.

Dynamic Measure of Hyperuniformity and Nonhyperuniformity in Heterogeneous Media via the Diffusion Spreadability

Haina Wang and Salvatore Torquato

Phys. Rev. Applied 17, 034022 (2022) - Published 8 March, 2022

Rock on! Understanding time-dependent diffusion processes in complex heterogeneous media is of great importance in physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, geophysics, and petroleum engineering. Here the authors further study the recently discussed $d i f f u s i o n$ $s p r e a d a b i l i t y$ , by computing it for a variety of two- and three-dimensional model structures that span the nonhyperuniform and hyperuniform classes. The lessons learned are used to ascertain crucial structural characteristics of a Fontainebleau sandstone. Spreadability is a powerful, dynamics-based figure of merit for probing real microstructures across length scales and enabling materials design.

On-Chip Coherent Transduction between Magnons and Acoustic Phonons in Cavity Magnomechanics

D. Hatanaka, M. Asano, H. Okamoto, Y. Kunihashi, H. Sanada, and H. Yamaguchi

Phys. Rev. Applied 17, 034024 (2022) - Published 8 March, 2022

Coherent control of collective spin excitations (magnons) with acoustic phonons is a key technology for future hybrid spintronic devices, thanks to the short wavelengths and low radiation loss involved. However, a tiny coupling efficiency limits the controllability and functionality of devices. The authors develop a planar cavity-magnomechanical system and show coherent magnon-phonon transduction with a cooperativity exceeding unity. This approach paves the way for the development of alternative magnomechanical technologies for both quantum and classical applications.

Atomistic Transport Modeling, Design Principles, and Empirical Rules for Low-Noise III-V Digital-Alloy Avalanche Photodiodes

Sheikh Z. Ahmed, Yaohua Tan, Jiyuan Zheng, Joe C. Campbell, and Avik W. Ghosh

Phys. Rev. Applied 17, 034044 (2022) - Published 16 March, 2022

A series of $I I I - V$ alloy-based avalanche photodiodes are recently seen to demonstrate superior performance such as low excess noise, but the origin of such behavior is not completely understood. The authors use atomistic modeling of the material and transport properties to deconstruct the underlying physical mechanisms, which are attributed to a combination of engineered minigaps, increased effective mass, and spin-orbit coupling. These attributes selectively limit the ionization rate of one carrier type, and are simplified here into a set of inequalities that could potentially be useful for the design of future high-performance avalanche photodiodes.

Degenerate Parametric Amplification via Three-Wave Mixing Using Kinetic Inductance

Daniel J. Parker, Mykhailo Savytskyi, Wyatt Vine, Arne Laucht, Timothy Duty, Andrea Morello, Arne L. Grimsmo, and Jarryd J. Pla

Phys. Rev. Applied 17, 034064 (2022) - Published 25 March, 2022

Microwave parametric amplifiers operating at the quantum noise limit have become indispensable tools for a range of cryogenic quantum technologies. These amplifiers are typically constructed from nonlinear Josephson junctions, which limit the ability to amplify high-power signals. This study reports a device based instead on the weakly nonlinear kinetic inductance intrinsic to a superconducting film of niobium titanium nitride. The amplifier offers large phase-sensitive gain and high power handling, plus a simple design and fabrication process. As it contains no junctions, it is robust to electrostatic discharge and potentially operable under high temperatures and large magnetic fields.

Intrinsic Mobility of Low-Density Electrons in Photoexcited Diamond

K. Konishi, I. Akimoto, H. Matsuoka, J. Isberg, and N. Naka

Phys. Rev. Applied 17, L031001 (2022) - Published 23 March, 2022

The cyclotron-resonance method reveals the drift mobility of carriers in semiconductors, which determines a device’s (opto)electronic functionality. However, determining the intrinsic mobility value without interference from other carriers, dislocations, impurities, etc. remains challenging. By minimizing the density of photoexcited carriers in ultrapure diamond, the authors find an extraordinarily narrow cyclotron-resonance curve for electrons in diamond at 3 K. In this manner they obtain a corrected mobility value of 10 $^{8}$ cm $^{2}$ V $^{- 1}$ s $^{- 1}$ , a 16-fold increase compared to the previous record value for diamond.
