Anomalous Hall magnetoresistance in a ferromagnet
The anomalous Hall effect, observed in conducting ferromagnets with broken
time-reversal symmetry, offers the possibility to couple spin and orbital
degrees of freedom of electrons in ferromagnets. In addition to charge, the
anomalous Hall effect also leads to spin accumulation at the surfaces
perpendicular to both the current and magnetization direction. Here we
experimentally demonstrate that the spin accumulation, subsequent spin
backflow, and spin-charge conversion can give rise to a different type of spin
current related magnetoresistance, dubbed here as the anomalous Hall
magnetoresistance, which has the same angular dependence as the recently
discovered spin Hall magnetoresistance. The anomalous Hall magnetoresistance is
observed in four types of samples: co-sputtered (Fe1-xMnx)0.6Pt0.4, Fe1-xMnx
and Pt multilayer, Fe1-xMnx with x = 0.17 to 0.65 and Fe, and analyzed using
the drift-diffusion model. Our results provide an alternative route to study
charge-spin conversion in ferromagnets and to exploit it for potential
spintronic applications
Design and experimental evaluation of a new modular underactuated multi-fingered robot hand
© IMechE 2020. In this paper, a modular underactuated multi-fingered robot hand is proposed. The robot hand can be freely configured with different number and configuration of modular fingers according to the work needs. Driving motion is achieved by the rigid structure of the screw and the connecting rod. A finger-connecting mechanism is designed on the palm of the robot hand to meet the needs of modular finger’s installation, drive, rotation, and sensor connections. The fingertips are made of hollow rubber to enhance the stability of grasping. Details about the design of the robot hand and analysis of the robot kinematics and grasping process are described. Last, a prototype is developed, and a grab test is carried out. Experimental results demonstrate that the structure of proposed modular robot hand is reasonable, which enables the adaptability and flexibility of the modular robot hand to meet the requirements of various grasping modes in practice
Comparison of the calculated method to the driving voltage applied across the lay in single and double layers of piezoelectric material of active sound absorption
Piezoelectric material can be used as a main component of devices, such as transducers, energy exchangers and arresters. Due to its excellent mechanics and electric coupling performances, piezoelectric material can also be utilized in control system of sound and vibration. However, there have not been any publications outlining the basic equations of reflection or transmission coefficients of driving voltage applied across the layers (single or double) of piezoelectric material. In this paper, two methods – the theoretical method and the electro-acoustic analogy method – are used in order to compare the driving voltage applied across the single and the double layer of active sound surfaces of piezoelectric material. Computational results indicate that the proposed theoretical models are correct and applicable in practical implementations
Comparison of σ-Hole and π-Hole Tetrel Bonds in Complexes of Borazine with TH3F and F2TO/H2TO (T=C,Si,Ge)
The complexes between borazine and TH3F/F2TO/H2TO (T=C, Si, Ge) are investigated with high-level quantum chemical calculations. Borazine has three sites of negative electrostatic potential: the N atom, the ring center, and the H atom of the B-H bond, while TH3F and F2TO/H2TO provide the σ-hole and π-hole, respectively, for the tetrel bond. The N atom of borazine is the favored site for both the σ and π-hole tetrel bonds. Less stable dimers include a σ-tetrel bond to the borazine ring center and to the BH proton. The π-hole tetrel-bonded complexes are more strongly bound than aretheirσ-hole counterparts. Due to the coexistence of both T···N tetrel and B···O triel bonding, the complexes of borazine with F2TO/H2TO (T= Si and Ge) are very stable, with interaction energies up to -108 kcal/mol. The strongly bonded complexes are accompanied by substantial net charge transfer from F2TO/H2TO to borazine. Polarization energy makes a contribution comparable with electrostatic for the moderately or strongly bonded complexes but is small in their weaker analogues
