Strain-mediated electric-field control of photoinduced demagnetization in La0.8 Ca0.2 MnO3 thin films

La0.8 Ca0.2 MnO3 (LCMO) thin films have been epitaxially grown on ferroelectric 0.67Pb (Mg1/3 Nb 2/3) O3-0.33 PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) substrates. The substrate-induced strain effects on the transport and photoinduced demagnetization in LCMO films were investigated. The photoinduced resistances (PRs) of LCMO systematically changed versus temperature before and after ferroelectric-poling on PMN-PT, indicating that photoexcited extra carriers in LCMO may suppress the neighboring spin correlation due to the photoassisted hopping of anti-Jahn-Teller polarons. Moreover, a significant modulation on PR by electric fields applied across PMN-PT was observed. In situ x-ray diffraction indicates that the observed variations result from substrate-induced strain due to the ferroelectric polarization or converse piezoelectric effect. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.published_or_final_versio

Taxol synthesis

Being a complex diterpenoid, the potent anticancer drug, Taxol, requires complicated steps for its biosynthesis. In the present article, recent advances on Taxol biosynthesis pathway are reviewed, including many recently reported genes that regulate Taxol biosynthesis. To meet the urgent need of clinic and scientific research, besides Taxus supply, other approaches to obtain Taxol have also been discussed here.Keywords: biosynthesis pathway, cell culture, endophytic fungi, Taxol, Taxu

Influence of human body on massive MIMO indoor channels

© 2019 IEEE. Massive MIMO can dramatically improve capacity and spectral efficiency. However, it is not very clear whether it can significantly improve the signal blockage problem that exists in single antenna systems. In this paper, we investigate the impact of the human body on indoor massive MIMO channels, using practically measured channel data for a 32x8 massive MIMO system in a complex office environment. We introduce a parameter of Power Imbalance (PI) indices to estimate the wide-sense none-stationarity in multiple domains and another parameter of Channel Popularity Indices (CPI) to predict the popularity of MIMO channel. We find that in most cases, the presence of the human body still has a non- negligible negative impact. It decreases the ergodic capacity by about 8% and increases the path loss exponent by 1. In average, the ergodic capacity for NLOS channels are 15% higher than that for LOS

GIS-Based Method for Finding Optimal Ocean Energy Location: A Case Study of Terengganu State

Ocean energy is one of the most important renewable energy sources and it can highly contribute to the supply of the world’s electricity demands. This paper presents a method of locating the highest potential sources of ocean energy by implementing Geographic Information System (GIS). The aim of this study was to find the optimal wave energy location in the coastal area of Terengganu state in Malaysia. The wave data for the years 2015-2017 have been collected. The GIS was adopted to prepare data for analysis and perform geostatistical analysis. The results showed the exact location of areas in the coastal area of Terengganu in which maximum energy from the ocean can be harvested. The proposed methodology can be applied in other coastal areas

Suppression of photoconductivity by magnetic field in epitaxial manganite thin films

The erasure of photoinduced resistance (PR) by the magnetic field was investigated in manganite films. The PR was significantly suppressed when a magnetic field was introduced at low temperature. The decrease (or increase) of PR with increment of magnetic field was observed in ferromagnetic (or paramagnetic) phases of films, respectively. Our results are suggested to be the coaction of two effects under magnetic fields: (i) the reorientation of domains and spin directions of photoexcited carriers and (ii) electrons trapped around oxygen vacancies released and recombined with majority carriers in films. The interplay of the external fields is a good demonstration of the strong coupling between spins and charges in colossal magnetoresistance materials. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.published_or_final_versio
