TL;DR: The binding energies of the ground and excited states of a hydrogenic donor associated with the first subband in a GaAs quantum well in the presence of an arbitrary magnetic field are calculated.
Abstract: We have calculated the binding energies of the ground (1s-like) and excited (2${p}_{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$-like) states of a hydrogenic donor associated with the first subband in a GaAs quantum well, sandwiched between two semi-infinite layers of ${\mathrm{Ga}}_{1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{x}}$${\mathrm{Al}}_{\mathrm{x}}$As. Results have been obtained as a function of the potential-barrier height (or equivalently of Al concentration x) and the size of the quantum well in the presence of an arbitrary magnetic field. We have considered the two cases of donor at the center and at the edge of the well. The applied magnetic field is taken to be parallel to the axis of growth of the quantum-well structure. We have used a variational approach in which the trial wave functions are expanded in terms of appropriate Gaussian basis sets. For a given value of the magnetic field, the binding energies are found to be larger than their values in a zero magnetic field.

TL;DR: A voltage-impulse-induced two-step ferroelastic switching pathway can be used to in situ manipulate the magnetic anisotropy and enable non-volatile FMR tuning in FeCoB/PMN-PT (011) multiferroic heterostructures.
Abstract: A critical challenge in realizing magnetoelectrics based on reconfigurable microwave devices, which is the ability to switch between distinct ferromagnetic resonances (FMR) in a stable, reversible and energy efficient manner, has been addressed. In particular, a voltage-impulse-induced two-step ferroelastic switching pathway can be used to in situ manipulate the magnetic anisotropy and enable non-volatile FMR tuning in FeCoB/PMN-PT (011) multiferroic heterostructures.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D trajectory for a hypersonic gliding vehicle to impact the target from a specific direction with supersonic speed is proposed. And the conditions for the initial on-line selection of the guidance law parameters for the given impact direction requirement are provided.
Abstract: The problem of guiding a hypersonic gliding vehicle in the terminal phase to a target location is considered. In addition to the constraints on its final position coordinates, the vehicle must also impact the target from a specified direction with very high precision. The proposed 3-dimensional guidance laws take simple proportional forms. The analysis establishes that with appropriately selected guidance parameters the 3-dimensional guided trajectory will satisfy these impact requirements. We provide the conditions for the initial on-line selection of the guidance law parameters for the given impact direction requirement. The vehicle dynamics are explicitly taken into account in the realization of guidance commands. To ensure high accuracy in the impact angle conditions in an operational environment, we develop closed-loop nonlinear adaptation laws for the guidance parameters. We present the complete guidance logic and associated analysis. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed terminal guidance approach. I. Introduction Recent interests in developing on-demand global-reach payload delivery capability have brought to the forefront a number of underlying technological challenges. Such operations will involve responsive launch, autonomous entry flight, and precision terminal maneuvers. In certain scenarios the mission requirements call for the payload to impact the target location from a specific direction with supersonic speed. One example is to impact the target in a direction perpendicular to the tangent plane of the terrain at the target. The terminal guidance system will be responsible for directing the vehicle to the target and achieving the desired impact direction. The impact precision requirements under the scenarios considered are very high and stringent. For instance, the required Circular Error Probable (CEP) of the impact distance is just 3-meter. 1 The errors of the impact angles are desired to be within 0.5 deg. The very high speeds throughout the terminal phase only make it considerably more difficult to achieve these levels of precision. Yet cost considerations dictate that the terminal guidance algorithm should be relatively simple and computationally tractable for real-time operations. While a number of guidance methods can guide the vehicle to the target, not many address the unique need for impact from a specific direction. One method that can is the so-called “dive-line” guidance approach in Ref. 2. In this method one or more lines intersecting the Earth are established. The final dive-line intersects the target, and its direction can be set to the desired direction. The vehicle’s velocity vector is

TL;DR: In this article, a refractory high-entropy NbCrMo0.5Ta 0.5TiZr alloy was studied during heating at 1273 K for 100 h in flowing air.
Abstract: Isothermal oxidation behavior of a refractory high-entropy NbCrMo0.5Ta0.5TiZr alloy was studied during heating at 1273 K for 100 h in flowing air. Continuous weight gain occurred during oxidation, and the time dependence of the weight gain per unit surface area was described by a parabolic dependence with the time exponent n = 0.6. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy accompanied by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy showed that the continuous oxide scale was made of complex oxides and only local (on the submicron levels) redistribution of the alloying elements occurred during oxidation. The alloy has a better combination of mechanical properties and oxidation resistance than commercial Nb alloys and earlier reported developmental Nb–Si–Al–Ti and Nb–Si–Mo alloys.
