摘要：

In this presentation, we first show the EO property in classical ferroelectric thin films having perovskite structure, including the strain effect and the domain switching contribution. Then, we explore the EO response in emerging ferroelectric thin films, having fluorite and wurtzite structures, which are better compatible with CMOS technology.

Classical ferroelectric thin films: We experimentally clarified that the EO response of compressively strained BST thin films was enhanced toward the phase transition temperature modified by the strain (Fig. (a)). The theoretical prediction based on a phenomenological thermodynamic model also supported the experimental result. We also found that the single c-domain PZT films show the EO response smaller than the most of reported EO responses for multidomain PZT films, indicating that the large EO response reported for PZT films mostly arises from the extrinsic domain switching by the applied voltage.

Emerging ferroelectric thin films: We found the evident linear EO response in Y-doped HfO2, Sc-doped AlN, and Mg-doped ZnO thin films, which indicates that those EO response originates from the spontaneous polarization in the films. Especially, the EO coefficient of Mg-doped ZnO thin films was remarkably enhanced with increasing Mg content and reached 7.6 pm/V, which is over three times larger than the reported values for ZnO-based thin films and over twice larger than that of ZnO single crystals (Fig. (b)).

摘要：

Microwave-shielding has proven to be a powerful technique for producing degenerate quantum gases of polar molecules as well as assembling ultracold polyatomic molecules. Here, I will review our efforts in controlling the interactions of ultracold molecules using microwave fields, enabling us to stabilize the molecular gases and evaporate them to temperatures well below the Fermi temperature. The shape, symmetry, and depth of the intermolecular potential can be flexibly controlled by the polarization, strength, and frequency of the microwave field. This is a unique feature of microwave-shielded polar molecules that is distinguished from ultracold atoms. It allows us to observe field-linked resonances in collisions of polar molecules, providing a universal tool for independently controlling the dipolar and contact interactions of molecules, as well as creating exotic long-range tetratomic molecules. In the end, I will discuss the perspectives of a p-wave superfluid of dimers and its crossover to a Bose-Einstein condensate of tetramers.

摘要：

I will present the latest calculation of HVP contributions to muon anomaly with Lattice QCD from Budapest-Marseille-Wuppertal collaboration (BMWc). The result leads to a prediction 714.1(2.2)(2.5)[3.3]x10-10 that differs from the experimental measurement of a_μ by only 0.9 standard deviations. This provides a remarkable validation of the standard model to 0.37 ppm. Since the largest systematic uncertainty comes from the ratio between the intrinsic QCD scale and fermion masses, we measure the precise Ω baryon mass in lattice units at seven lattice spacings down to a=0.048 fm with N_f=2+1+1 staggered quarks, including QED and strong-isospin corrections. We perform these measurements by solving the Generalized Eigenvalue Problem, adapted to staggered fermions to fully resolve the negative parity and excited states. The most precise intrinsic QCD scale parameter  w_0=0.17245(22)(46)[51] fm in the continuum limit at physical quark masses is determined using the physical Ω baryon mass, with unprecedented 0.3 percent precision.

摘要：

While ordinary materials are typically composed of inert "passive" particles, active matter comprises objects or agents which possess an intrinsic propulsion. Examples are living systems like schools of fish, swarms of birds, pedestrians, and swimming microbes but also artificial particles equipped with an internal motor such as robots and colloidal Janus particles. Active matter is praised for possible technological applications ranging from micro-surgery to environmental cleaning.

This talk provides an introduction to the basic physics of active matter with an emphasis on the statistical mechanics of synthetic artificial self-propelled particles. After an introduction of basic concepts to describe self-propelled colloids in the mesoscopic soft matter regime, such as active Brownian motion, novel collective phase transitions are described including motility-induced phase separation of repulsive self-propelled particles. Then the importance of inertia relevant for particles of larger size is discussed. Finally, two possible paths to next-generation active materials are pointed out: either functionalized microswimmers equipped with artificial intelligence or ultracold atoms in optical fields opening the door to the new field of quantum active matter.

摘要：

Magnetic refrigeration is considered as a potential alternative to vapour compression refrigeration technology due to its relatively higher energy efficiency and its use of environment-friendly materials. A magnetocaloric refrigerator with no moving parts offers higher reliability for critical applications and lower vibration. For this a mixture of magnetocaloric material and heat transfer liquid as the refrigerant is considered. This mixture is circulated between hot and cold heat exchangers using a ferrohydrodynamic pump, while the permanent magnet is stationary. It is analysed by first considering the ferrohydrodynamic pump design, followed by material analysis of the mixture, and finally a system level analysis of the refrigerator. For the ferrohydrodynamic pump, a novel design that achieves the same normalized mass flow rate as the state-of-the-art, but at three orders of magnitude lower frequencies is experimentally tested and numerically characterized.  For the material analysis, La(Fe,Mn,Si)13Hz with Ga-In-Sn liquid metal is considered owing to the favourable thermal and fluid properties of the latter, and their compatibility over 1.5 years is analysed.  Finally, numerical analysis on the system level performance is performed for different heat transfer fluid, volume fraction of magnetocaloric material, mass flow rate of the mixture, while their cooling power and second-law efficiency are determined.

摘要：

In this talk we shall discuss the impact of non-reciprocal interactions on collectiven onequilibrium phenomena. We start with the case of constant nonreciprocity where an exact mapping of an equilibrium system is possible albeit with different kinetictemperatures. This prediction was confirmed in experiments on complex plasmas under ion flow with non-reciprocal wake charges. Overdamped dynamics with nonreciprocity leads to diferent behaviors where various nonequilibrium phases were discovered. Then a novel generic field theory will be proposed, termed Active Model N where N stands for nonreciprocity. This theory is derived from particle-resolved Langevin dynamics and its numerical implementation leads to new patterns termed “active yarn". Finally we shall describe an example for nonreciprocal interactions in the animal kingdom, namely swarms of zebra fish, where we demonstrate evidence that already three fish show characteristics of a full swarm.

摘要：

超臨界CO2對層內化學鍵的調控主要體現在其可以破壞層內共價鍵，打亂原子排列，導致晶格畸變，使材料非晶化，引入缺陷，或使多種材料之間成鍵構築異質結構。

我們利用超臨界CO2自上而下製備了不同形態和結構的二維材料、二維非晶材料及其異質結結構。實驗結果表明超臨界CO2吸附在材料的表面抑制了其各向異性生長，形成了二維納米片的結構，也因此抑制了二維納米片的結晶動力學，使樣品呈現非晶態結構。實驗結果表明利用超臨界CO2可以控制二維結構的形貌演化，從而抑制了層間原子有序排列。此外，超臨界CO2在層狀材料層內會引入缺陷，超臨界CO2與材料之間的相互作用包括化學鍵的斷裂或化學吸附和解吸來引入缺陷，缺陷的形成導致相鄰晶格畸變和結構轉變；另一方面，超臨界CO2誘導的剪切應力會促進局部剪切變形和原子重排，從而導致剪切帶和位錯等大尺寸缺陷。由於理論研究發現二維（2D）材料比體相有着更高的平均磁矩和更大的磁各向異性，因而在磁性器件應用上擁有更多優勢。藉助於CO2精準調控固體物質的化學組成、相態、晶體結構及其關聯的化學有序和電荷有序，我們進一步研究了材料室溫鐵磁性質。

摘要：

Terahertz (THz) waves are nowadays very popular because of their numerous applications, for example in security screening, medical imaging, time-domain spectroscopy and remote detection. At non-relativistic laser intensities, air plasmas created by two-color optical pulses supply suitable THz emitters free of any damage. Their “photocurrents” generate ultrabroadband terahertz radiations which find direct applications in the coherent spectroscopy of macromolecules. At relativistic intensities, gas plasmas develop nonlinear electrostatic fields used in laser-wakefield particle acceleration. Accelerated electrons crossing the plasma-vacuum interface then emit coherent transition radiation (CTR) associated with tens of GV/m THz field amplitude and mJ energy. CTR also operates in relativistic laser-solid interactions, whereby it benefits from a stronger absorption of the laser energy into MeV-range electrons. Yet, the hot-electron population does not only radiate via CTR when exiting a solid foil. Less energetic electrons actually get reflected in the strong charge-separation field set up in vacuum. This results in an additional coherent, synchrotron-type radiation of polarity opposite to that of CTR. Moreover, the sheath electric field induced by the hot electrons subsequently sets into motion the surface ions over picosecond timescales and lead to a dipole-type, low-frequency radiation contributing to the THz spectrum.

This talk will first address the key role of photocurrents in the creation of broadband terahertz pulses at moderate laser intensities. Recent experimental results on plasma-based THz molecular spectroscopy will be discussed. Using multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations we will next present new perspectives in the production of ultra-intense terahertz pul

摘要：

The fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effect realized in Landau levels is a family of strongly correlated topological quantum fluids in two-dimension, with exotic low lying charge excitations that are anyonic and even non-Abelian. Here we propose a unified framework in understanding the integer and fractional quantum Hall systems via Hilbert space truncation, so that these quantum fluids consist of “elementary particles” emerging from special“2D universes” with conformal symmetry. Interestingly, the hierarchical structure of these 2D conformal universes (or conformal Hilbert spaces) allows us to reveal internal structures of anyons of the FQH phases (e.g. the Laughlin and Moore-Read phases), and to derive experimentally relevant conditions for such anyons or quasiholes to undergo fractionalisation within the same topological phase. We will also discuss about the long wavelength neutral excitations analogous to the spin-2 graviton and higher-spin-mode in these topological quantum fluids. The former has been recently measured with Raman scattering, and we propose possible ways of detecting higher spin modes with multi-photon processes or Laguerre-Gaussian beam in experiments.

摘要：

The field of axion physics has garnered significant attention in recent years. This is not only due to the absence of evidence for new heavy elementary particles, but also because the category of axion-like particle could elegantly account for several of our key observations, such as dark matter. In this presentation, I will provide an overview of the ongoing and forthcoming experimenta endeavors aimed at detecting axions and. more broadly, axion-like particles, with a particular emphasis on searches conducted at the LHC, While we have not vet discovered any evidence of axion-like particles, these experiments may enable us to explore high.frequency gravitational waves, which will also be briefly discussed.
