Coupling the valley degree of freedom to antiferromagnetic order

Conventional electronics are based invariably on the intrinsic degrees of freedom of an electron, namely, its charge and spin. The exploration of novel electronic degrees of freedom has important implications in both basic quantum physics and advanced information technology. Valley as a new electronic degree of freedom has received considerable attention in recent years. In this paper, we develop the theory of spin and valley physics of an antiferromagnetic honeycomb lattice. We show that by coupling the valley degree of freedom to antiferromagnetic order, there is an emergent electronic degree of freedom characterized by the product of spin and valley indices, which leads to spin-valley dependent optical selection rule and Berry curvature-induced topological quantum transport. These properties will enable optical polarization in the spin-valley space, and electrical detection/manipulation through the induced spin, valley and charge fluxes. The domain walls of an antiferromagnetic honeycomb lattice harbors valley-protected edge states that support spin-dependent transport. Finally, we employ first principles calculations to show that the proposed optoelectronic properties can be realized in antiferromagnetic manganese chalcogenophosphates (MnPX_3, X = S, Se) in monolayer form.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure

The dynamic dipole polarizabilities of the Li atom and the Be+ ion

The dynamic dipole polarizabilities for the Li atom and the Be+ ion in the 2s and 2p states are calculated using the variational method with a Hylleraas basis. The present polarizabilities represent the definitive values in the non-relativistic limit. Corrections due to relativistic effects are also estimated. Analytic representations of the polarizabilities for frequency ranges encompassing the n=3 excitations are presented. The recommended polarizabilities for ^7Li and ^9Be+ were 164.11 \pm 0.03 a.u. and 24.489 \pm 0.004 a.u.

Influencing Factors of Catering O2O Customer Experience: An Approach Integrating Big Data Analytics with Grounded Theory

In the era of digital economy, catering O2O is developing rapidly. Catering O2O (catering online to offline), namely catering takeout in the paper, means that customers place an order through online ordering platform, and delivery persons deliver the food provided by catering enterprises offline. Catering O2O conforms to the trend of the digital economy era, but exposes a variety of problems, such as lower feedback rate of the platform, lower timeliness of acceptance and handling, lower customer feedback satisfaction, and poorer customer experience. As China\u27s leading e-commerce platform for life services, Meituan won the rating of not recommending to place an order in the report of "2020 China E-commerce User Experience and Complaint Monitoring". In order to improve customer experience and service satisfaction of catering O2O, this paper takes Meituan takeout as an example, integrates big data analytics and grounded theory to explore influencing factors of catering O2O customer experience. With the big data analytics method, the main influencing factors are obtained from 54250 customer reviews, and then the grounded theory method is used to conduct in-depth analysis on negative reviews, and influencing factors of O2O customer experience are verified and confirmed. The results show that the main influencing factors of catering O2O customer experience are catering food quality and delivery service quality and after-sale service quality. Catering food quality and delivery service quality have a significant impact on customer experience. Finally, from perspectives of catering O2O platforms and enterprises, the paper obtains management implications as follows: Catering O2O platforms should attach great importance on the service of contact points in distribution link, strengthen the last-mile delivery service quality, and improve the supervision and feedback mechanism; catering O2O enterprises should ensure the quality, portion and package of catering food, so as to improve customer experience and win electronic word-of-mouth and customer satisfaction

Effects of pp-wave Interactions on Borromean Efimov Trimers in Heavy-Light Fermi Systems

We investigate the effects of $p$-wave interactions on Efimov trimers in systems comprising two identical heavy fermions and a light particle, with mass ratios larger than $13.6$. Our focus lies on the borromean regime where the ground-state trimer exists in the absence of dimers. Using pair-wise Lennard-Jones potentials and concentrating on the $L^{\pi} = 1^{-}$ symmetry, we explore the critical value of the interspecies $s$-wave scattering length $a_{c}$ at which the borromean state appears in several two-component particle systems. We study the universal properties of $a_{c}$ and the influence of $p$-wave fermion-fermion interactions on its value. Our findings show that, in the absence of $p$-wave fermion-fermion interactions, $a_{c}$ is universally determined by the van der Waals radius and mass ratio. However, when attractive interactions between the two fermions are introduced, the formation of the borromean state becomes favored over the absence of $p$-wave fermion-fermion interaction. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the $p$-wave Efimov effects persist even when the fermion-fermion interaction is taken to the $p$-wave unitary limit
