Valley Carrier Dynamics in Monolayer Molybdenum Disulphide from Helicity Resolved Ultrafast Pump-probe Spectroscopy
We investigate the valley related carrier dynamics in monolayer MoS2 using
helicity resolved non-degenerate ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy at the
vicinity of the high-symmetry K point under the temperature down to 78 K.
Monolayer MoS2 shows remarkable transient reflection signals, in stark contrast
to bilayer and bulk MoS2 due to the enhancement of many-body effect at reduced
dimensionality. The helicity resolved ultrafast time-resolved result shows that
the valley polarization is preserved for only several ps before scattering
process makes it undistinguishable. We suggest that the dynamical degradation
of valley polarization is attributable primarily to the exciton trapping by
defect states in the exfoliated MoS2 samples. Our experiment and a
tight-binding model analysis also show that the perfect valley CD selectivity
is fairly robust against disorder at the K point, but quickly decays from the
high-symmetry point in the momentum space in the presence of disorder.Comment: 15 pages,Accepted by ACS Nan
Ultrafast Relaxation Dynamics of Photoexcited Dirac Fermion in The Three Dimensional Dirac Semimetal Cadmium Arsenide
Three dimensional (3D) Dirac semimetals which can be seen as 3D analogues of
graphene have attracted enormous interests in research recently. In order to
apply these ultrahigh-mobility materials in future electronic/optoelectronic
devices, it is crucial to understand the relaxation dynamics of photoexcited
carriers and their coupling with lattice. In this work, we report ultrafast
transient reflection measurements of the photoexcited carrier dynamics in
cadmium arsenide (Cd3As2), which is one of the most stable Dirac semimetals
that have been confirmed experimentally. By using low energy probe photon of
0.3 eV, we probed the dynamics of the photoexcited carriers that are
Dirac-Fermi-like approaching the Dirac point. We systematically studied the
transient reflection on bulk and nanoplate samples that have different doping
intensities by tuning the probe wavelength, pump power and lattice temperature,
and find that the dynamical evolution of carrier distributions can be retrieved
qualitatively by using a two-temperature model. This result is very similar to
that of graphene, but the carrier cooling through the optical phonon couplings
is slower and lasts over larger electron temperature range because the optical
phonon energies in Cd3As2 are much lower than those in graphene
Dynamical Evolution of Anisotropic Response in Black Phosphorus under Ultrafast Photoexcitation
Black phosphorus has recently emerged as a promising material for high
performance electronic and optoelectronic device for its high mobility, tunable
mid-infrared bandgap and anisotropic electronic properties. Dynamical evolution
of photo excited carriers and its induced change of transient electronic
properties are critical for materials' high field performance, but remains to
be explored for black phosphorus. In this work, we perform angle resolved
transient reflection spectroscopy to study the dynamical evolution of
anisotropic properties of black phosphorus under photo excitation. We find that
the anisotropy of reflectivity is enhanced in the pump induced
quasi-equilibrium state, suggesting an extraordinary enhancement of the
anisotropy in dynamical conductivity in hot carrier dominated regime. These
results raise enormous possibilities of creating high field, angle sensitive
electronic, optoelectronic and remote sensing devices exploiting the dynamical
electronic anisotropic with black phosphorus.Comment: 22 pages,10 figure
Precision Higgs physics at the CEPC
The discovery of the Higgs boson with its mass around 125 GeV by the ATLAS
and CMS Collaborations marked the beginning of a new era in high energy
physics. The Higgs boson will be the subject of extensive studies of the
ongoing LHC program. At the same time, lepton collider based Higgs factories
have been proposed as a possible next step beyond the LHC, with its main goal
to precisely measure the properties of the Higgs boson and probe potential new
physics associated with the Higgs boson. The Circular Electron Positron
Collider~(CEPC) is one of such proposed Higgs factories. The CEPC is an
circular collider proposed by and to be hosted in China. Located in a
tunnel of approximately 100~km in circumference, it will operate at a
center-of-mass energy of 240~GeV as the Higgs factory. In this paper, we
present the first estimates on the precision of the Higgs boson property
measurements achievable at the CEPC and discuss implications of these
measurements.Comment: 46 pages, 37 figure

Energy-Efficient Speed Profile Approximation: An Optimal Switching Region-Based Approach with Adaptive Resolution
Speed profile optimization plays an important role in optimal train control. Considering the characteristics of an electrical locomotive with regenerative braking, this paper proposes a new algorithm for target speed profile approximation. This paper makes the following three contributions: First, it proves that under a certain calculation precision, there is an optimal coast-brake switching region—not just a point where the train should be switched from coasting mode to braking mode. This is very useful in engineering applications. Second, the paper analyzes the influence of regenerative braking on the optimal coast-brake switching region and proposes an approximate linear relationship between the optimal switching region and the regeneration efficiency. Third, the paper presents an average speed equivalent algorithm for local speed profile optimization in steep sections. In addition, this paper simplifies the proof of the optimality of smooth running on a non-steep track in two steps. The effects on energy consumption from two important factors (optimal coast and running time) are systematically analyzed. Extensive simulations verify these points of view and demonstrate that the proposed approximation approach is computationally efficient and achieves sufficient engineering accuracy
Spatio-Temporal Changes in Water Use Efficiency and Its Driving Factors in Central Asia (2001–2021)
Although understanding the carbon and water cycles of dryland ecosystems in terms of water use efficiency (WUE) is important, WUE and its driving mechanisms are less understood in Central Asia. This study calculated Central Asian WUE for 2001–2021 based on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform and analyzed its spatial and temporal variability using temporal information entropy. The importance of atmospheric factors, hydrological factors, and biological factors in driving WUE in Central Asia was also explored using a geographic detector. The results show the following: (1) the average WUE in Central Asia from 2001–2021 is 2.584–3.607 gCkg−1H2O, with weak inter-annual variability and significant intra-annual variability and spatial distribution changes; (2) atmospheric and hydrological factors are strong drivers, with land surface temperature (LST) being the strongest driver of WUE, explaining 54.8% of variation; (3) the interaction of the driving factors can enhance the driving effect by more than 60% for the interaction between most atmospheric factors and vegetation factors, of which the effect of the interaction of temperature (TEM) with vegetation cover (FVC) is the greatest, explaining 68.1% of the change in WUE. Furthermore, the interaction of driving factors with very low explanatory power (e.g., water pressure (VAP), aerosol optical depth over land (AOD), and groundwater (GWS)) has a significant enhancement effect. Vegetation is an important link in driving WUE, and it is important to understand the mechanisms of WUE change to guide ecological restoration projects
