Multiscale rheology from bulk to nano using a quartz tuning fork-atomic force microscope
Authors: Shim Jaewon , Kim Chungman , Lee Manhee , An Sangmin , Jhe Wonho 
Published: October 2024

Rheological characteristics exhibit significant variations at nanoscale confinement or near interfaces, compared to bulk rheological properties. To bridge the gap between nano- and bulk-scale rheology, allowing for a better and holistic understanding of rheology, developing a single experimental platform that provides rheological measurements across different scales, from nano to bulk, is desirable. Here, we present the novel methodology for multiscale rheology using a highly sensitive atomic force microscope based on a quartz tuning fork (QTF) force sensor. We employ microscale and nanoscale shear probes attached to the QTF, oscillating parallel to a substrate surface for rheological measurements as a function of the tip–substrate distance with sub-nanometer resolution. Silicone oils with viscosities ranging from 5 cSt to 10 000 cSt are used as calibration samples, and we have successfully derived the bulk rheological moduli. Furthermore, an increase in modulus is observed within the regime of tribo-nanorheology at distances less than 50 nm from the surface. Through such multiscale measurements, it is confirmed that this increase is due to the formation of a layered structure of silicone oil polymers on the solid surface. These results provide a comprehensive understanding of the tribo-rheological properties of complex fluids across different scales.
Theoretical investigation for the laser cooling of LuH+ molecular cation
Authors: Fan Qin , Zhang Qing , Wan Ming Jie , Huang Duo Hui 
Published: October 2024

The potential energy curves and transition dipole moments of seven Λ-S states and six Ω states of LuH+ cation are calculated by using the multireference configuration interaction method plus Davidson correction with the pseudopotential electron basis set, and the spectroscopic parameters of the bound states are obtained. The spin–orbit coupling effect is considered in the calculations. The Franck–Condon factors (FCFs) and the Einstein spontaneous emission coefficients are obtained. The results indicate that the A2Δ3/2(ν′ = 0) ↔ X2Σ+1/2(ν″ = 0) and B2Π1/2(ν′ = 0) ↔ X2Σ+1/2 (ν″ = 0) transitions provide highly diagonally distributed FCFs. Spontaneous radiative lifetimes of A2Δ3/2 (ν′ = 0) and B2Π1/2 (ν′ = 0) excited states are both obtained. The cooling schemes of LuH+ cation are obtained using the ab initio method. For the B2Π1/2 ↔ X2Σ+1/2 transition, the influence of the intermediate state on the construction of quasi-closed cyclic transitions can be neglected. A main pump laser and two repumping lasers are required to construct the A2Δ3/2 ↔ X2Σ+1/2 and B2Π1/2 ↔ X2Σ+1/2 quasi-cycling transitions for laser cooling of LuH+ molecular cation. The results in this work provide reliable theoretical guidance for further experiments of laser cooling of LuH+ cation.
Persuasion and critical-theoretical thought
Authors: Mitrano Mena 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Literary scholars have increasingly moved away from the hermeneutics of suspicion, on the ground that this
once-dominant axis of reflection uniting Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud and culminating with deconstruction and poststructuralism,
has been reduced to an ineffectual set of standardized rhetorical gestures with the sole purpose of debunking and demystifying
(R. Felski 2015; R. Felski and E. Anker 2017). In such a postcritical climate, this article explores the link between
persuasion and the pursuit of knowledge in the Humanities through three theoretically charged close readings (Jane Austen,
Michel Foucault, Eve K. Sedgwick). Discussion takes its cue from the implications of persuasion as a rhetorical tenet and goes
on to trace its transformation, first in connection with the rise of discourse, and secondly in connection with the ethical
turn in critical inquiry. Ultimately, the article suggests that the traditional tension between truth and persuasion has taken
on new life in the polarity of the cognitive and the affective dimensions of knowledge.
Argumentation in scientific discourse
Authors: Roncoroni Tiziana 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This pilot study investigated scientific argumentation from a pragma-dialectical methodological approach with the
aim of characterizing possible prototypical argumentative patterns by reconstructing argumentation structures, and identifying
and analyzing the standpoints, arguments, starting points, and strategies. The results corroborated the findings of previous
studies regarding the complexity of standpoints, structures, and patterns, the dialogical nature attained by advancing doubts
and criticism, and the important role of exploratory argumentation (comparing and evaluating options). New insights also
emerged: Causal argumentation appeared to play a more pervasive role than was previously assumed, which was supported by
different subtypes of argument schemes. Furthermore, scientific argumentation proved to be indirect but strong, with
standpoints that were not predominantly descriptive, and weighing was used strategically.
Pink rollers and fake tan

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Scouse and Scousers are highly recognisable within the UK, with research revealing longstanding associations with
white, urban, working-class male speakers. However, Scouse identity is increasingly associated with a feminine persona: the
Scouse bird. Research thus far focuses on recognisable gendered practices of this Scouse feminine identity
but has not yet explored the link of such practices with dialect and class. This paper seeks to extend current research by
analysing the enregisterment of the Scouse bird on Twitter and in interviews with participants from the Wirral. We take an
intersectional approach that factors on gender as a crucial component to understanding the representation of enregistered dialect
and class. We propose that the Scouse bird persona may achieve popularity online precisely because of her gender incongruence,
which can be viewed as defiance against gender expectations and class hierarchies. We conclude that there are multiple
enregistered and intersecting repertoires embedded into the online and offline representation of the Scouse bird, that encompass
dialect, (white, working-)class and counterhegemonic femininity.
Intercultural encounters through two picturebooks in the lower primary EFL classroom in Denmark
Authors: Søgaard Karoline 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Intercultural encounters are important sites for intercultural learning. Hence the teaching of English as a
foreign language should include possibilities for learners to engage in such encounters. It is theoretically suggested and
empirically supported, that encounters with texts and images can be fruitful for intercultural learning. Picturebooks constitute
one form of literary text that is suitable for teaching foreign languages to children. This study suggests that purposefully
selected picturebooks can create affordances for intercultural encounters in the early English as a foreign language classroom,
thus contributing to intercultural learning from an early age. Selected learner data collected in a qualitative multiple case
study with learners from 8 to10 years old, interacting with two English language picturebooks, were analyzed using deductive,
qualitative content analysis. The analyses showed that learners displayed awareness of several intercultural encounters with and
between characters in the picturebooks, especially encounters that included the two child protagonists. These encounters were
based on multiple cultural group affiliations, including affiliations based on a more traditional as well as an extended view of
culture, which included non-human groups. It is concluded that, based on a non-essentialist view of culture, the selected
picturebooks and their teaching sequences created affordances for learners’ awareness of different cultural affiliations, which is
considered a prerequisite for engagement in intercultural encounters.
Short-term diachronic and variety-internal approaches to textual functionality in South Asian
Englishes
Authors: Bernaisch Tobias , Leuckert Sven 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
To empirically trace functional characteristics of texts such as speaker/writer involvement, narrativity or
persuasiveness with a view to potential (a) intra-national variability in Indian English and (b) short-term diachronic
change in South Asian Englishes, the South Asian Varieties of English (SAVE) corpus,
its updated version SAVE2020, and the Corpus of Regional Indian Newspaper Englishes
(CORINNE) are subjected to Multidimensional Analysis (MDA, Biber 1988) as implemented in Nini (2019). A hierarchical
cluster analysis of the respective MDA scores reveals the tendency of mesolectal Indian Englishes as well as
acrolectal Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan English to employ features of a conceptually written nature more readily than
acrolectal Indian, Maldivian, Nepali, and Pakistani English. Still, in the observed time span of 15 years, the
acrolects of South Asian Englishes also develop towards conceptually written language.
Managing expectations
Authors: Ma Giovanni Chun Long , Mansfield John 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
One of the central goals of human language is to convey intended messages successfully to the addressee. However,
communication inherently involves uncertainty or unexpectedness which hinders this delivery. Different languages have different
strategies to manage unexpectedness. In this article, we explore the strategies used in Murrinhpatha, an Australian Aboriginal
language with highly flexible syntax, that is, free constituent order and frequent NP omission. We argue that Murrinhpatha
speakers utilise the language’s syntactic flexibility to manage referential expectations. Highly unexpected referents tend to be
expressed preverbally, while expected referents which need to be ‘reinforced’ are usually expressed postverbally. Uniquely
expected referents are usually syntactically omitted. We argue that expectation and uncertainty provide a more convincing account
of Murrinhpatha compared to an account of accessibility. Our findings shed new light on several aspects of syntactically flexible
languages, including pragmatic salience and newsworthiness, and the functional distinction between postverbal NPs and NP
omission.
Fabrication of large scale bi-layer microstructures through electrochemical nanoimprinting
Authors: Hong Ran , Chen Bo , Liu Jing , Huang Qiyu 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Electrochemical nanoimprinting (ECNI) is a microstructure fabrication technique that combines metal-assisted chemical etching (MaCE) with nanoimprint lithography. A significant advantage of ECNI over traditional MaCE is the reusability of the stamp and excellent pattern consistency. This work studies the effects of various etchant components on etching results, discussing the associative parameters separately. Experimental results demonstrate that ECNI successfully fabricates bi-layer microstructures with flat surface morphology, where the second layer has a feature size of 40 μm and a depth of 12.5 μm. These findings highlight ECNI’s potential as a scalable method for producing complex multi-layer structures, positioning it as a promising solution for large-scale microfabrication of semiconductors.
Measurement-induced heating of a trapped ion
Authors: Rasmusson A J , Jung Ilyoung , Schroer Frank G , Kyprianidis Antonis , Richerme Philip 
Published: October 2024

AbstractWe experimentally study the heating of trapped atomic ions during measurement of their internal qubit states. During measurement, ions are projected into one of two basis states and discriminated by their state-dependent fluorescence. We observe that ions in the fluorescing state rapidly scatter photons and heat at a rate ofn¯˙≳2×104quanta s−1, which is orders of magnitude faster than typical anomalous ion heating rates. We introduce a quantum trajectory-based framework that accurately reproduces the experimental results and provides a unified description of ion heating for both continuous and discrete sources.
All-optical switch for input-output-independent logic gate construction in atomic systems
Authors: Zhang Yiming , Li Leyu , Liu Jia , Xu Yiming , Li Shenwei , Xie Zhiwen , Li Aijun 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We propose an input–output independent logic gate via optical switching effect in a four-level tripod atomic model. The intensity, line shape and detuning of the probe field and the switching field of the switch are investigated. Unlike previous research on all-optical switches, there are two switching fields as inputs and one probe field as output in this model. This enables an ‘or’ logic gate in which the input and output can be controlled independently. Thus, we can control the output ‘on’ and ‘off’ through two switching fields and freely adjust the strength of the output without changing the switching field. By adjusting the coherence conditions, ideal optical switching phenomena such as higher switching efficiency and larger switching speed are realized, which provides new ideas for designing optical communication or optical gain devices.
Theoretical study of point defects on transport properties in metallic interconnections
Authors: Yan Shumin , Gao Ruiling , Hu Shunbo , Wang Yin 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
During the line width reduction, electron scattering caused by various defects in metal interconnects increases dramatically, which causes leakage or short circuit problems in the device, reducing device performance and reliability. Point defects are one of the important factors. Here, using density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green’s function methods, we systematically study the effects of point defects on the transport properties of metals Al, Cu, Ag, Ir, Rh, and Ru, namely vacancy defects and interstitial doping of C atom. The results show that the conductivity of all systems decreases compared to perfect systems, because defects cause unnecessary electron scattering. Since the orbital hybridization of the C atom with the Al, Cu and Ag atoms is stronger than that metals Ir, Rh and Ru, the doping of C atom significantly reduces the conductivity of metals Al, Cu and Ag compared to vacancy defects. In contrast, vacancy defects have a greater impact than doping on the transport properties of metals Ir, Rh and Ru, which is mainly attributed to the larger charge transfer of the host atoms around the vacancies caused by lattice distortion. In addition, metal Rh exhibits excellent conductivity in all systems. Therefore, in order to optimize the transport properties of interconnect metals, our work points out that the doping of impurity atoms should be avoided for metals Al, Cu and Ag, while the presence of vacancy defects should be avoided for metals Ir, Rh and Ru, and Rh may be an excellent candidate material for future metal interconnects.
Stacking-dependent structural and electronic properties of trilayer γ-graphyne: an approach for new 2D carbon allotropes
Authors: Li Wentao , Yang Le 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Vertical stacks of two-dimensional (2D) materials with interlayer van der Waals (vdW) force have provided a versatile approach for creating hybrid materials and modulating various properties. In this work, the structural and electronic properties of trilayer γ-graphyne, involving different stacking patterns, have been investigated through first-principles approaches. The result indicates that a metal-to-semiconducting transition can be triggered simply by switching the stacking order of trilayer γ-graphyne. More interestingly, in addition to typical vdW homostructures, new 2D carbon allotropes with novel carbon networks can be achieved on the basis of trilayer γ-graphyne, arising from the absence of intralayer acetylene linkages during the structural relaxation. One of the new 2D carbon allotropes possesses an intrinsic semiconducting nature with a wide bandgap of 1.827 eV, coupled with superior structural stability beyond single-layer γ-graphyne. Moreover, the biaxial strain effect on the new 2D carbon allotrope, as well as the trilayer vdW stacks, has also been revealed in this work. Correspondingly, the in-plane tensile strain is demonstrated to further enlarge the electronic bandgaps in these carbon sheets. Therefore, the results of this work imply the great potential of few-layer graphyne in future carbon-based nanoelectronic devices, and simultaneously provide a new approach for developing and synthesizing novel 2D carbon allotropes via the vertical stacking of graphyne with inherent acetylene linkages.

Abstract
On 25–26 March 2023, the U.S. National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) held its 2024 annual meeting in Bethesda, Maryland, USA. The NCRP dates from 1929, and this meeting celebrated the 60th anniversary of receiving a U.S. Congressional Charter. For this annual meeting the NCRP felt it was essential to provide a briefing about advanced and small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). The Journal of Radiological Protection is delighted to publish the following synopsis of material presented at the U.S. NCRP meeting. This synopsis is divided into five sections. The first section provides an overview of the whole meeting together with summaries of two context setting overview papers. The following four sessions of this synopsis are specific to advanced and small modular nuclear power reactors. The meeting also included keynote presentations by three of NCRP annual award recipients. The meeting topical areas were Technology Overview and Critical Issues. The individual papers laid the groundwork to understanding reactor technologies, terminology, and the fundamental concepts and processes for electrical generation. The perspectives of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and states, through the Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors were provided. The papers included a discussion of diverse topics including potential emergency preparedness considerations, radiological survey requirements, an evaluation of the future of nuclear power, the economics of reactors (both large and small), and the critical issues identified by the recent National Academies of Sciences’ study on advanced reactors. The summary papers were developed to briefly document the major points and concepts presented during the oral papers presented at the 2024 NCRP Annual Meeting. The meeting heralded the dawn of a new era for commercial nuclear power.
UWB/IMU integrated indoor positioning algorithm based on robust extended Kalman filter
Authors: Sun Wei , Zhang Heming , Ding Wei , Shi Peng , Chen Haonan 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
As a fundamental method for integrated indoor positioning, Ultra wideband (UWB)/ Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) offers more stable performance compared to separate UWB sensor and IMU sensor positioning and uses the least squares (LS) and extended Kalman filter (EKF) for positioning processing, however, the performance of conventional LS and EKF will be seriously affected when the contamination rate of measurement noise is high. To address this problem, this paper proposes a robust extended Kalman filter (REKF) based algorithm for robot-integrated indoor positioning, which combines UWB and IMU positioning methods to obtain a more robust system performance and optimal positioning accuracy. In this paper, a vehicle equipped with a UWB/IMU sensor and four anchor points is set up to perform linear, circular, and trajectory motions in an experimental environment with visible obstacles. The experimental results show that compared with EKF, REKF improves the localization precision and accuracy in the three motions by 20.98%, 35.51%, and 47.06%, respectively. REKF effectively improves the accuracy and robustness of the robot’s indoor positioning, and provides an improved and practical method for integrated indoor positioning algorithms to make indoor positioning more accurate and reliable.
Thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties of Si-stacked nanosheet transistors using machine learning interatomic potentials

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Thermal and mechanical properties play a key role in optimizing the performance of nanoelectronic devices. In this study, the lattice thermal conductivity (κ
L) and elastic constants of Si nanosheets at different sheet thicknesses were determined using recently developed machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs). A Si nanosheet with a minimum thickness of 10 atomic layers was used for model training to predict the properties of sheets with greater thicknesses. The training dataset was efficiently constructed using stochastic sampling of the Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surface. Density functional theory calculations were used to extract the MLIP, which served as the basis for further analysis. The moment tensor potential method was used to obtain the MLIP in this study. The results showed that, at sub-6 nm sheet thickness, the thermal conductivity dropped to ~7% of its bulk value, whereas some stiffness tensor components dropped to ~3% of the bulk values. These findings contribute to the understanding of heat transport and mechanical behavior of ultrathin Si nanosheets, which is crucial for designing and optimizing nanoelectronic devices. The technological implications of the extracted parameters on nanosheet field-effect transistor performance at advanced technology nodes were evaluated using TCAD device simulations.
A novel flexural damping channel magnetorheological damper with high effective magnetic field coverage and experimental verification of damping performance

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Conventional magnetorheological dampers (MRDs) have limitations owing to their low effective magnetic field coverage, and improving MRD structures is a common approach to address this issue. However, many existing MRD designs have limitations such as large radial dimensions and high coil power consumption. Therefore, this paper transformed the conventional damping channel into the flexural damping channel to increase the effective magnetic field coverage of the MRD based on the conventional structure. And then, the pressure drop model was utilized to preliminarily determine the structural parameters of the new MRD. Subsequently, a multi-physics coupling finite element method analysis model was constructed to accurately determine the structural parameters, ensuring that the novel flexural damping channel (NFDC) MRD increases the output peak damping force while reducing the radial dimension and input power. Furthermore, the damping force variable range is stabilized when the excitation current is zero (field-off). Finally, a large number of vibration tests were conducted on both the conventional and NFDC MRDs, and it was found that the NFDC MRD has better vibration energy dissipation capacity and higher output peak damping force while maintaining a basically same field-off damping force variable range compared with the conventional MRD. The above process not only proved that the NFDC MRD possesses excellent output damping capability and working condition adaptability, but also validated the operational effectiveness of employing the multi-physics coupling analysis method to design the NFDC MRD.
