Photoconductivity of Single-crystalline Selenium Nanotubes

Photoconductivity of single-crystalline selenium nanotubes (SCSNT) under a range of illumination intensities of a 633nm laser is carried out with a novel two terminal device arrangement at room temperature. It's found that SCSNT forms Schottky barriers with the W and Au contacts, and the barrier height is a function of the light intensities. In low illumination regime below 1.46x10E-4 muWmum-2, the Au-Se-W hybrid structure exhibits sharp switch on/off behavior, and the turn-on voltages decrease with increasing illuminating intensities. In the high illumination regime above 7x10E-4 muWmum-2, the device exhibits ohmic conductance with a photoconductivity as high as 0.59Ohmcm-1, significantly higher that reported values for carbon and GaN nanotubes. This finding suggests that SCSNT is potentially a good photo-sensor material as well we a very effective solar cell material.Comment: 12pages including 5 figures, submitted to Nanotechnolog

Neural Proximal/Trust Region Policy Optimization Attains Globally Optimal Policy

Proximal policy optimization and trust region policy optimization (PPO and TRPO) with actor and critic parametrized by neural networks achieve significant empirical success in deep reinforcement learning. However, due to nonconvexity, the global convergence of PPO and TRPO remains less understood, which separates theory from practice. In this paper, we prove that a variant of PPO and TRPO equipped with overparametrized neural networks converges to the globally optimal policy at a sublinear rate. The key to our analysis is the global convergence of infinite-dimensional mirror descent under a notion of one-point monotonicity, where the gradient and iterate are instantiated by neural networks. In particular, the desirable representation power and optimization geometry induced by the overparametrization of such neural networks allow them to accurately approximate the infinite-dimensional gradient and iterate.Comment: A short versio

Left-handedness without absorption in the four-level Y-type atomic medium

In this paper,three external fields interacting with the four-level Y-type atomic system described by the density-matrix approach is investigated .The results show that the left-handedness with zero absorption are achieved.And the zero absorption property displays the possibility of manipulation with varying the phase and the intensity of the coupling field. The zero absorption property may be used to amplify the evanescent waves that have been lost in the imaging by traditional lenses.Our scheme proposes an approach to obtain negative refractive medium with zero absorption and the possibility to enhance the imaging resolution in realizing "superlenses".Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2403.00042; text overlap with arXiv:2403.0084
