Research Progress on Two-Dimensional Multiferroic Materials and Their Magnetoelectric Properties ZHENG Hongqian , HU Ting , HUANG Chengxi , DU Yongping , WAN Yi Progress in Physics    2025, 45 (3): 105-117.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2025.03.001 Abstract （2139）      PDF （9286KB）（4233）       In recent years, multiferroic materials, which possess both ferromagnetic and ferroelectric properties, have attracted intense attention from researchers due to their novel and rich physical characteristics, as well as their broad potential applications in fields such as information storage and sensor technologies. As understanding of the properties of multiferroic materials deepens, researchers have begun to explore their behavior at smaller scales, particularly focusing on two-dimensional (2D) materials. Compared to three-dimensional (3D) materials, 2D materials, owing to their unique structural features and significant size effects, often exhibit more superior performance in terms of mechanical, optical, thermal, and magnetic properties. However, it is noteworthy that current research on 2D multiferroic materials is primarily concentrated on theoretical predictions, with experimental progress lagging behind. In this context, this paper first briefly reviews the development history of multiferroic materials, then elaborates on the characteristics and advantages of 2D materials, and discusses the potential applications of 2D multiferroic materials. Subsequently, the paper provides an overview of the current research status, covering related physical phenomena and mechanisms, experimental preparation methods, performance regulation technologies, and characterization techniques. Furthermore, this paper also enumerates potential 2D multiferroic materials predicted by theory and, based on this, delves into the challenges faced by current research and future directions for development.  Related Articles | Metrics

Black Holes and Singularities Ong Yen Chin Progress in Physics    2020, 40 (2): 33-43.   Abstract （2017）      PDF （160KB）（2703）       Black holes are arguably the most extreme manifestation of gravity, with horizons that mark the boundary of no return beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape. Recently, remarkable progress has been made on the observational fronts, with the detection of gravitational wave produced by colliding black holes, and “direct” imaging of the supermassive black holes in the galaxy M87. On the theoretical side however, there remains a lot of unsolved mysteries in black hole physics. Of these, the information paradox is the most well-known. Nevertheless, there is another equally puzzling – if not more so – issue, which concerns the very heart of black holes: their singularities, where general relativity breaks down. What happens at the singularities of black holes? Can quantum gravity really remove black hole singularities? Is there a difference between Big Bang singularity and those inside black holes? More crucially, can singularities become naked, i.e. no longer shrouded by black hole horizon and therefore visible to ordinary observers? What is the status of the so-called “cosmic censorship conjecture”? In this review we will go through this topic at a semi-technical level, which is suitable for an ambitious undergraduate students in physics or mathematics. Related Articles | Metrics

Development Status of Topological Superfluid in Ultracold Atoms FENG Jian, ZHANG Wei-wei, LIN Liang-wei, CAI Qi-peng, ZHANG Yi-cai, LIU Chao-fei Progress in Physics    2022, 42 (3): 67-95.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2022.03.001 Abstract （1694）      PDF （1246KB）（9515）       The topological superfluid state is protected by the energy gap in the bulk, but it can accommodate the gapless Majorana fermions at the edge of the system. The Majorana fermions satisfy non-Abelian statistics and are protected by topology and have good stability, they can carry quantized information and can be used in the study of topological quantum computing. In recent years, theoretical work has predicted the possible topological superfluid states in various systems. Firstly, we introduce the topological superfluid in various optical lattice models. The ultracold atoms of optical lattice have good controllability and universality. It is an ideal model system to realize topological superfluid. Next, we introduce the topological superfluid under the control of spin orbit coupling. The spin orbit coupling effect is an important condition to induce the topological phase, and the artificial spin orbit coupling has been realized in the experiment. Which makes a breakthrough for the experimental observation of topological superfluid. With the improvement of experimental technology in recent years, the topological FFLO superfluid phase, which was difficult to observe in the experiment and ignored by people, has also become a research hotspot. Therefore, we next introduce the topological FFLO superfluid. In addition, we also introduce the progress in other aspects of topological superfluid, including topological superfluid induced by soliton, three-component topological superfluid, topological superfluid with large Chern number, and the high critical temperature of topological superfluid. In the experiment, how to detect and implement topological superfluid is the purpose and significance of our research. Therefore, we introduce the identification and implementation of topological superfluid at the end of the article. Related Articles | Metrics

ZHOU Yi-fan , KONG Ling-xing , WU Ren-jie , LIU Feng Progress in Physics    2024, 44 (4): 183-196.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2024.04.002 Abstract （1150）      PDF （6737KB）（1537）       Living cells constantly sense and respond to environmental changes. Transcription, the process by which DNA is transcribed into RNA, serves as a critical bridge between external signals and gene expression, ultimately shaping cellular behavior. To unravel the transcription dynamics and the relationship between input signals and gene expression out-put, various transcription models have been developed. This review explores these common models, their computational frameworks, and the resulting distributions for mRNA number and transcriptional event duration, which offer valuable insights into input-output relationships and underlying response mechanisms. We further analyze how different promoter types, chromatin environments, and network motifs influence these relationships. Finally, we probe how information theory can be applied to systems with near-maximum channel capacity to reveal the dynamic range of transcription factor concentrations, input-output dynamics, and the link between these factors and gene expression distribution. Through these multifaceted analyses, we identify key regulators of dynamic input-output relationships and gain deeper insights into how genes respond to transcription factor signals. Quantitative studies of input-output relationships hold promises for identifying key regulatory factors, predicting changes in gene expression patterns, and designing interventions to manipulate cellular functions and behavior.

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 （2077）      PDF （3042KB）（6251）       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.

Potential mechanisms of comorbidity between autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder YU Chen, ZHANG Xiaopeng, WANG Wei Progress in Physics    2025, 45 (6): 261-280.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2025.06.001 Abstract （730）      PDF （817KB）（1281）       Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exhibit a high rate of comorbidity. This paper systematically reviews existing studies at different levels to summarize the common pathological mechanisms underlying the comorbidity of ASD and ADHD. Specifically: (1) Both diseases exhibit abnormal synaptic pruning, leading to a further aggravation of abnormal brain structure in patients with the comorbidity; (2) Dysfunction of the default mode network and executive control network constitutes important neurobiological evidence for the comorbidity of the two disorders; (3) The abnormal signaling pathways implicated in ASD and ADHD mainly involve the dopamine, Wnt, GABA, mTOR, and inflammation-related pathways, all of which are closely associated with the stability of synapse numbers; (4) Abnormal synaptic pruning leads to excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) imbalance, which may provide the physiological basis for abnormal functional connectivity of brain networks and altered cortical thickness and volume in higher cognitive regions such as the prefrontal cortex. Moreover, by computational neural network modeling and molecular network modeling, it is expected to advance the understanding of the co-morbidity mechanism of autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. In this review, we elucidate the pathological mechanism of comorbidity in two typical diseases related to neurodevelopmental disorders from different perspectives, and may provide a theoretical basis for early intervention and precise treatment in comorbid patients.

Mechanistic insights into p53-mediated gene expression regulation CHEN Yunxiang, ZHOU Bangyan, ZHAO Peiyi, WU Renjie, LIU Feng Progress in Physics    2025, 45 (6): 281-292.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2025.06.002 Abstract （581）      PDF （6113KB）（698）       As one of the most important tumor suppressors, the p53 protein regulates the expression of hundreds of target genes to orchestrate diverse cellular processes and safeguard genomic stability and integrity. While extensive studies have elucidated the structural features of p53 and the role of post-translational modifications in modulating its function, a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic behavior of p53 during activation and the precise mechanisms by which it regulates target gene expression remains lacking. In recent years, advances in single-cell imaging and spatiotemporal omics have provided new insights into the time-resolved regulation of p53. This review summarizes the multilayered architecture of the p53 regulatory network, spanning molecular modifications, subcellular localization, DNA binding, chromatin remodeling, and the expression dynamics of downstream target genes. We highlight how information is integrated and coordinated across these regulatory layers. Through dynamic signal decoding and finely tuned control mechanisms, p53 achieves precise regulation of cell fate decisions. A deeper understanding of p53 regulation is critical for elucidating the mechanisms of tumorigenesis and for developing targeted therapeutic strategies.  Related Articles | Metrics

Photocurrent Mapping of Two-Dimensional Perovskite Solar Cell ZHAO Xiao-xia, TIAN Wen-ming, SUN Zhong-gao, JIN Sheng-ye Progress in Physics    2022, 42 (2): 54-60.   DOI: 10.13725/j.cnki.pip.2022.02.002 Abstract （2002）      PDF （751KB）（3151）       Developing an interplay between the local morphological character, optoelectronic properties and its local photovoltaic parameters in a perovskite thin film is essential for guiding the construction of highly-efficient perovskite solar cells (PSC). In this work, by using a laserscanned and time-resolved confocal microscopy coupled with a picoammeter detection module, we realize in-situ photoluminescence (PL) intensity, PL lifetime, and photocurrent mappings in a two-dimensional (2D) PSC. A significant negative correlation is found between photocurrent and PL intensity and PL lifetime imaging within grains of the perovskite polycrystalline film. We establish the correlation between local photovoltaic parameters, optoelectronic properties, and morphology character, which provides theoretical guidance for the optimization of PSC performance.

With the advancement of high-resolution ARPES measurements and MBE thin film growth techniques, direct observation of the band dispersion and spectral weight of 4f electrons in momentum/energy space has become possible, providing spectroscopic insight for understanding correlated electronic states and novel quantum phenomena. In this review paper, we summarized the electronic studies of several typical heavy fermion compounds and thin films, including Ce-115 families, CuCu2Si2, CeRh6Ge4 and Ce films, etc. The experimental results provide direct evidence to understand the temperature evolution of heavy electronic states, energy/moment-dependent Kondo hybridization, the interplay of heavy electronic state with superconductivity, the competition between Kondo effect with other quantum states and the dimensionality tuning of 4f electrons.
