Hydrogen-Based Superconductors under High Pressures DU Ming-yang, ZHANG Zi-han, DUAN De-fang, CUI Tian Progress in Physics    2022, 42 (5): 184-192.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2022.05.002 Abstract （1365）      PDF （3042KB）（3316）       Achieving room temperature superconductivity has always been the dream of mankind pursuing for a long time. Finding and synthesizing new materials with room temperature superconductivity is the ”Holy Grail” of condensed matter physics. Since the theoretical and experimental discovery of H3S and LaH10 with high superconducting critical temperature above 200 K, the hydrogen-based superconductors became the best candidate for achieving room temperature superconductivity, which is also one of the hot areas of multi-disciplinary research in physics, materials science etc. In this work, we outline the development history of superconductors, introduce several typical superconducting materials, focus on the current progress and challenges of hydrogen based superconductors under high pressures, discuss the design ideas of hydrogen based high-temperature superconductors in the middle and low pressure range, and look forward to the possibility of hydrogen-based superconductors with high critical temperature and even room temperature under low pressure or ambient pressure.

Research Progress on Single-Mode Regulation Methods for Whispering Gallery Mode Microcavities LIU Shuo, WANG Yu-chen, WANG Xiu-hua, HOU Rui Progress in Physics    2023, 43 (4): 117-130.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2023.04.002 Abstract （855）      PDF （483KB）（3156）       Whispering gallery mode (WGM) microcavities have attracted wide attention due to their small mode volume, ultra-high Q value, and low threshold. However, in rotationally symmetric WGM microcavities, multiple longitudinal mode laser radiation can be generated, and the directionality of the radiation is poor, which limits its practical applications. Finding effective methods to achieve single-mode radiation of WGM lasers is a key issue for microcavity lasers to move toward practical applications. This review focuses on several methods of single-mode modulation of WGM lasing in recent years, including reducing cavity size, adding mode selection structure, based on the vernier effect, parity-time symmetry breaking, deformed microcavity, etc. This review aims to provide a reference for researchers in related fields and deepen their understanding of the physical mechanism of single-mode modulation of WGM lasing.

A Review on Band Unfolding Technique and Its Applications CHEN Jia-xin, CHEN Ming-xing Progress in Physics    2023, 43 (2): 25-40.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2023.02.001 Abstract （2724）      PDF （58451KB）（2387）       First-principles methods based on the density-functional theory have been widely applied to investigate structures and properties of materials and further to design new functional materials. The supercell method is usually used for the modeling of doped systems and interfaces. Unfortunately, the use of supercells leads to band foldings. As a result, the nature of electronic bands may be hidden, which brings difficulties in understanding the effects of doping and interfacing on the band structure of materials. This review provides recent advances in band unfolding technique within the plane-wave method and the linear combination of atomic orbitals. It also gives unfolding of phononic bands and lists a number of codes for band unfolding calculations. Finally, it presents a few applications of the technique and an outlook on further research options. Related Articles | Metrics

Historic Origin of Quantum Entanglement in Particle Physics SHI Yu Progress in Physics    2023, 43 (3): 57-67.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2023.03.001 Abstract （2392）      PDF （1284KB）（1860）       The historic origin of quantum entanglement in particle physics is studied systematically and in depth. In 1957, Bohm and Aharonov noted that the 1950 Wu-Shaknov experiment had realized the discrete version of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlation. Indeed this experiment was definitely the first experimental realization of spatially separated quantum entanglement in history. Such an experiment had been proposed by Wheeler, as a test of quantum electrodynamics, but his calculation was erroneous. The correct theoretical calculations were made by Ward and Pryce and also by Snyder, Pasternack and Hornbostel. The entangled state of the photons also satisfies the selection rule of C. N. Yang in 1949. After the publication of Bell inequality in 1964, discussions on whether Wu-Shaknov experiment can be exploited in testing the inequality inspired the progress of this field, and a new experiment was done by Wu’s group. In 1957, Lee, Oehme and Yang established the quantum mechanical formulation of the kaons, and discovered that neutral kaon is a two-state system. The following year，Goldhaber, Lee and Yang wrote down entangled states of a pair of kaons for the first time, in which each kaon is allowed to be charged or neutral, as the entanglement in internal degrees of high energy particles beyond photons written down for the first time. In 1960, as an unpublished work, Lee and Yang discussed an entangled state of a pair of neutral kaons. Such entangled kaons widely exist in meson factories later on. Several physicist are also introduced, especially Ward. Related Articles | Metrics

High superconducting transition temperature and irreversible magnetic field in liquid nitrogen temperature region have attracted much attention. Obviously, the high superconducting critical temperature increases the choice of cooling medium for superconducting applications. Economical and practical coolants are expected to expand the application fields of these high superconducting transition temperature (Tc ) superconductors and increase the feasibility of long-term operation. In this paper, the development and superconducting properties of 110 K superconducting materials including thallium, mercury and copper-carbon superconductors are introduced and summarized, and the factors affecting the superconducting transition temperature are analyzed theoretically to qualitatively explain the reasons for the high Tc  of high temperature superconductors. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the differences of their irreversible fields, and the possible new applications of these high critical temperature superconductors are prospected.

Metal halide perovskites are semiconductors that display efficient self-trapped exciton luminescence in various systems due to their ionic crystal nature with strong electron-phonon interactions and a deformable lattice. Consequently, they are considered ideal for creating high-quality white light sources. However, the understanding of the self-trapped exciton luminescence mechanism in metal halide perovskites is still relatively scarce and lags far behind the development of devices. To this end, this paper summarizes the recent research progress on the formation conditions, formation mechanism and related excited state dynamics of self-trapped excitons in metal halide perovskites semiconductors from the perspective of the fundamental physics of self-trapped excitons, and gives an outlook on the future research based on the self-trapped exciton mechanism in this system, so as to provide a clearer physical image for the study of self-trapped excitons in this system Related Articles | Metrics

High-Performance Physiological Signal Sensors Based on Stretchable Organic Electrochemical Transistors ZHANG Chen-hong , CHEN Yan-ping , WANG Gang ∗ , ZHANG Qing-hong , LI Yao-gang , WANG Hong-zhi Progress in Physics    2023, 43 (1): 1-9.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2023.01.001 Abstract （1271）      PDF （1055KB）（1381）       Recently, organic electrochemical crystals (OECT) using conjugated polymers as channel materials have become a hot research topic due to their ease of preparation, ionelectron conversion capability and biointerface compatibility. However, most of the reported OECT channel materials for OECT are p-type conjugated polymers (hole transport), while few OECTs have been developed based on n-type conjugated polymers (electron transport), and the unbalanced development hinders the realization of complex complementary circuits. The recently reported n-type Poly (benzimidazobenzophenanthroline) (BBL) OECT of polyconjugated polymers provides an effective solution to the above problem. However, BBL films are inherently brittle and cannot be stretched to meet the use of flexible devices, which greatly hinders their application and development. In this work, we propose the preparation of a device stretchable n-type BBL OECT device and verify its feasibility for sweat sensing. Related Articles | Metrics

Cell Tissue Simulations Based on Active Network Models LI Zhu-qin, LEI Qun-li, MA Yu-qiang Progress in Physics    2023, 43 (2): 41-55.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2023.02.002 Abstract （845）      PDF （9233KB）（1151）       In the last decade, motivated by advances in cell biology, theoretical studies of the cell tissue as active matter have emerged as a new area in soft matter physics. This article reviews recent theoretical progresses based on the active network (AN) model of cell tissue. In the mesoscopic scale, the non-equilibrium dynamics of cell tissue is mainly driven by the self-propulsion of cells and non-propulsion activities, like active contractility or cellular tension/volume oscillation. AN models of self-propelled cells can reproduce complex dynamics of cell tissue in vivio, such as activity/adhesion driven solid-liquid transition, flocking and active turbulence. The AN model incorporating cellular tension fluctuation can also simulate the cell volume oscillation waves in embryo of Drosophila, and predict the fluctuation-driven solid-liquid transition of cell tissue. The structural phase transition and density fluctuation of cell tissue were also studied by using AN models, which deepens our understanding of this unique non-equilibrium soft matter system.

In the past few decades, scholars have conducted extensive theoretical and experimental research on Fermi gases induced by one-dimensional spin orbit coupling. Compared with high-dimensional spin orbit coupling, one-dimensional spin orbit coupling, although relatively simple, is the most reliable and feasible tool for exploring basic quantum physical phenomena in experiments. This paper systematically summarizes the interesting physical phenomena of Fermi gas under one-dimensional spin orbit coupling in theoretical work. Including theoretical research on dynamic oscillation and soliton effect, topological superfluid, Majorana edge state, ferromagnetic phase transition, and quantum phase. How to achieve spin orbit coupling and observe singular phenomena in experiments is a hot and difficult research topic. We summarize several common experimental schemes and detection methods. Finally, we look forward to the research on Fermi gas induced by one-dimensional spin orbit coupling. One dimensional spin orbit coupling can provide reference for abecedarians and contribute to the study of multi body system regulated by spin orbit coupling. This paper aims to provide a reference for abecedarians in cold atomic physics to gain a deeper understanding of the physical mechanisms of multi-body systems under spin orbit coupling.

Pressure-Induced Superconducting and Topological Phase Transitions in the Ru X 2 ( X=P, As, Sb) Family Compounds CHEN Qun , WU Jue-fei , WANG Xiao-meng , DING Chi, HUANG Tian-heng , LU Qing , SUN Jian Progress in Physics    2022, 42 (6): 195-206.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2022.06.001 Abstract （787）      PDF （9142KB）（1020）       RuSb2, as a sister material of thermoelectric material FeSb2, has been extensively studied focusing on the comparisons with FeSb2, however, the properties of RuSb2 under pressure have not been surveyed thoroughly yet. In this work, we studied the properties of RuSb2 under pressure and explored the similarities and differences of crystal and electronic structures between the Ru-pnictides partners RuP2 and RuAs2. Using the crystal structures search method together with first-principles calculations, we found that this family undergoes a serial of structural phase transitions: (I) For RuSb2: Pnnm → I4/mcm → I4/mmm; (II) for RuP2: Pnnm → I41/amd → Cmcm; (III) for RuAs2: Pnnm → P-62m. The newly found five phases are all energetically and dynamically stable at high-pressure and exhibit metallic properties. The four high pressure phases of RuSb2 and RuP2 can be quenched to zero pressure. The superconducting transition temperatures of I4/mcm and I4/mmm phases of RuSb2 and I41/amd and Cmcm phase of RuP2 are predicted to be approximately 7.3 K, 10.9 K, 13.0 K, and 10.1 K at 0 GPa, respectively. In addition, the I4/mcm and I4/mmm phases of RuSb2 and the I41/amd phase of RuP2 exhibit non-trivial topological properties. Our studies illustrate that pressure is an effective way to tune the structural, electronic, and superconducting behavior of the Ru-pnictides compounds. Related Articles | Metrics

Recent Progress in Ultrafast Spin Dynamics in Two-Dimensional van der Waals Antiferromagnets LI Jin-yang , WU Fang-liang , ZHANG Qi Progress in Physics    2024, 44 (6): 293-308.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2024.06.003 Abstract （838）      PDF （4771KB）（969）       Antiferromagnets exhibit high-speed spin responses in the terahertz frequency range and robustness against external magnetic fields, making them promising for nextgeneration high-speed, high-density spintronic devices. Recently, two-dimensional van der Waals magnetic systems, which possess rich antiferromagnetic ground states, have gained significant attention and serve as ideal platforms for studying low-dimensional antiferromagnetic physics. Detecting and controlling ultrafast spin dynamics in two-dimensional antiferromagnetic systems will lay the foundation for high-speed spintronic device applications. Antiferromagnets have no net macroscopic magnetization, making traditional optical methods, such as magneto-optical effects, challenging for detecting antiferromagnetic order in equilibrium states. However, in non-equilibrium states, the instantaneous magnetization generated by antiferromagnetic spin dynamics allows the use of time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect to detect coherent spin precession in antiferromagnets. Additionally, techniques such as linear dichroism spectroscopy, terahertz emission spectroscopy, and second harmonic generation have been employed in studying the dynamics of two-dimensional antiferromagnets. This paper introduces recent experimental progress on ultrafast spin dynamics in two-dimensional van der Waals antiferromagnetic systems, and briefly describes the coherent magnon excitations and corresponding mechanisms in two-dimensional antiferromagnets, including inverse magneto-optical effects/stimulated Raman scattering, orbital excitations, and exciton coupling. Furthermore, this paper discusses the critical slowing down of spin dynamics due to spin-lattice coupling effects and the amplification of coherent acoustic phonons. Related Articles | Metrics

Experimental Progress in Thermal Hall Conductivity Research on Strongly Correlated Electronic Systems XU Hao, CHENG Shu-fan, BAO Song , WEN Jin-sheng Progress in Physics    2022, 42 (5): 159-183.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2022.05.001 Abstract （1244）      PDF （7225KB）（935）       Thermal Hall effect (THE) is to describe the phenomenon where heat carriers are deflected by an external magnetic field applied perpendicular to the heat flow, and thus the carriers gain transverse velocity, leading to a finite temperature gradient on the two sides orthogonal to the heat flow and field. THE is predicted to occur in systems with nontrivial Berry curvatures and thus can reveal topological properties, similar to the electrical Hall effect. However, THE is not limited to charge excitations as in the electrical Hall effect, but rather, to all kinds of excitations that are able to conduct heat, making it possible to explore the exotic properties in strongly correlated electronic systems, which are typically insulators. Therefore, THE is more universal than the electrical form and has become a powerful probe in detecting charge-neutral excitations, such as phonons and magnons. Moreover, there are some sources such as chiral phonons, which are beyond a simple nontrivial-Berry-curvature scenario, that can also give rise to THE; examining THE wherein will shed light on the complex microscopic mechanism hidden in materials. Despite these, heat signals are much weaker than electrical ones. Especially for measurements of the thermal Hall conductivity, it is often needed to collect weak signals on top of a large background. This makes measuring the THE challenging—but thanks to the sustained efforts of the community, this field is developing rapidly in recent years, with many interesting results on the measurements of the thermal Hall conductivity. In this review article, we try to summarize some of these exciting accomplishments, point out remaining outstanding issues, and suggest possible future directions.  Related Articles | Metrics
