Abstract The Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) is essential for the formation of chiral objects in magnetic heterostructures. Herein, the temperature (T)-dependence of the DMI in Pt/Co/MgO is investigated over a wide range below 300 K. The T-dependent behavior of the DMI is stronger than that of the Heisenberg exchange interaction; thus, the anisotropic exchange is more T-sensitive than the isotropic exchange. Additionally, D∝M4.79 and A∝M2 for Pt/Co/MgO, and different ferromagnet (FM) layers can originate from different scaling factors between D and M. Therefore, the DMI T-dependence in a Pt-based multilayer system depends on the FM type, which implies that orbital hybridization at an interface may elucidate the relation between D and M.

We present a theoretical analysis of the paradigm of encoded universality, using a Lie algebraic analysis to derive specific conditions under which physical interactions can provide universality. We discuss the significance of the tensor product structure in the quantum circuit model and use this to define the conjoining of encoded qudits. The construction of encoded gates between conjoined qudits is discussed in detail. We illustrate the general procedures with several examples from exchange-only quantum computation. In particular, we extend our earlier results showing universality with the isotropic exchange interaction to the derivation of encoded universality with the anisotropic exchange interaction, i.e., to the XY model. In this case the minimal encoding for universality is into qutrits rather than into qubits as was the case for isotropic (Heisenberg) exchange. We also address issues of fault-tolerance, leakage and correction of encoded qudits.

A numerical simulation study accounting for trap and defect effects on the current-voltage characteristics of a 4H-SiC-based power metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) is performed in a wide range of temperatures and bias conditions. In particular, the most penalizing native defects in the starting substrate (i.e., EH6/7 and Z1/2) as well as the fixed oxide trap concentration and the density of states (DoS) at the 4H-SiC/SiO2 interface are carefully taken into account. The temperature-dependent physics of the interface traps are considered in detail. Scattering phenomena related to the joint contribution of defects and traps shift the MOSFET threshold voltage, reduce the channel mobility, and penalize the device current capabilities. However, while the MOSFET on-state resistance (RON) tends to increase with scattering centers, the sensitivity of the drain current to the temperature decreases especially when the device is operating at a high gate voltage (VGS). Assuming the temperature ranges from 300 K to 573 K, RON is about 2.5 MΩ·µm2 for VGS > 16 V with a percentage variation ΔRON lower than 20%. The device is rated to perform a blocking voltage of 650 V.

Temperature Dependent Behavior

In this paper we investigate the temperature dependent behavior of a liquid crystal (LC) loaded tunable dielectric image guide (DIG) phase shifter at millimeter-wave frequencies from 80 GHz to 110 GHz for future high data rate communications. The adhesive, necessary for precise fabrication, is analyzed before temperature dependent behavior of the component is shown, using the nematic LC-mixture GT7-29001. The temperature characterization is conducted by changing the temperature of the LC DIG’s ground plane between −10∘C and 80 ∘C. The orientation of the LC molecules, and therefore the effective macroscopic relative permittivity of the DIG, is changed by inserting the temperature setup in a fixture with rotatable magnets. Temperature independent matching can be observed, while the insertion loss gradually increases with temperature for both highest and lowest permittivity of the LC. At 80 ∘C the insertion loss is up to 1.3dB higher and at −10∘C it is 0.6dB lower than the insertion loss present at 20 ∘C. In addition, the achievable differential phase is reduced with increasing temperature. The impact of molecule alignment to this reduction is shown for the phase shifter and an estimated 85% of the anisotropy is still usable with an LC DIG phase shifter when increasing the temperature from 20 ∘C to 80 ∘C. Higher reduction of differential phase is present at higher frequencies as the electrical length of the phase shifter increases. A maximum difference in differential phase of 72∘ is present at 110 GHz, when increasing the temperature from 20 ∘C to 80 ∘C. Nevertheless, a well predictable, quasi-linear behavior can be observed at the covered temperature range, highlighting the potential of LC-based dielectric components at millimeter wave frequencies.

Lazy Abstraction

AbstractAlgorithms and protocols with time dependent behavior are often specified formally using timed automata. For practical real-time systems, besides real-valued clock variables, these specifications typically contain discrete data variables with nontrivial data flow. In this paper, we propose a configurable lazy abstraction framework for the location reachability problem of timed automata that potentially contain discrete variables. Moreover, based on our previous work, we uniformly formalize in our framework several abstraction refinement strategies for both clock and discrete variables that can be freely combined, resulting in many distinct algorithm configurations. Besides the proposed refinement strategies, the configurability of the framework allows the integration of existing efficient lazy abstraction algorithms for clock variables based on $${\textit{LU}}$$ LU -bounds. We demonstrate the applicability of the framework and the proposed refinement strategies by an empirical evaluation on a wide range of timed automata models, including ones that contain discrete variables or diagonal constraints.

The reaction between methylacetylene and hydrogen over unsupported nickel, copper, and their alloys has been investigated in a static constant volume system between 20 and 220 °C for a wide range of reactant ratios. The order of reaction with respect to hydrogen was one and nearly independent of temperature. While the order of reaction with respect to methylacetylene over nickel catalyst was slightly negative and temperature dependent, it was always positive and nearly independent of temperature for copper and copper-rich alloys. Selectivity was independent of initial hydrogen pressure for nickel and copper only; for others it decreased rapidly with increasing hydrogen pressure. The overall activation energy varied between 9 and 21.2 kcal/g mole. Selectivity and extent of polymerization increased with increasing amount of copper in the alloy.

Insulator Phase Transition

Lanthanum calcium based perovskites are found to be advantageous for the possible applications in magnetic sensors/reading heads, cathodes in solid oxide fuel cells, and frequency switching devices. In the present investigation La0.3Ca0.7MnO3 perovskites were synthesised through solid state reaction and sintered at four different temperatures such as 900, 1000, 1100 and 1200˚ C. X-ray powder diffraction pattern confirms that the prepared La0.3Ca0.7MnO3 perovskites have orthorhombic structure with Pnma space group. Ultrasonic in-situ measurements have been carried out on the La0.3Ca0.7MnO3 perovskites over wide range of temperature and elastic constants such as bulk modulus of the prepared La0.3Ca0.7MnO3 perovskites was obtained as function of temperature. The temperature-dependent bulk modulus has shown an interesting anomaly at the metal-insulator phase transition. The metal insulator transition temperature derived from temperature-dependent bulk modulus increases from temperature 352˚ C to 367˚ C with the increase of sintering temperature from 900 to 1200˚ C.
