description: Unravelling the source of quantum computing power has been a major goal in the field of quantum information science. In recent years, the quantum resource theory (QRT) has been established to characterize various quantum resources, yet their roles in quantum computing tasks still require investigation. The so-called universal quantum computing model (UQCM), e.g., the circuit model, has been the main framework to guide the design of quantum algorithms, creation of real quantum computers etc. In this work, we combine the study of UQCM together with QRT. We find on one hand, using QRT can provide a resource-theoretic characterization of a UQCM, the relation among models and inspire new ones, and on the other hand, using UQCM offers a framework to apply resources, study relation among resources and classify them.
 We develop the theory of universal resources in the setting of UQCM, and find a rich spectrum of UQCMs and the corresponding universal resources. Depending on a hierarchical structure of resource theories, we find models can be classified into families. In this work, we study three natural families of UQCMs in details: the amplitude family, the quasi-probability family, and the Hamiltonian family. They include some well known models, like the measurement-based model and adiabatic model, and also inspire new models such as the contextual model we introduce. Each family contains at least a triplet of models, and such a succinct structure of families of UQCMs offers a unifying picture to investigate resources and design models. It also provides a rigorous framework to resolve puzzles, such as the role of entanglement vs. interference, and unravel resource-theoretic features of quantum algorithms.

description: We analytically study the Fermi-gas formulation of sphere correlation functions of the Coulomb branch operators for 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ ADHM theory with a gauge group $U(N)$, an adjoint hypermultiplet and $l$ hypermultiplets which can describe a stack of $N$ M2-branes at $A_{l-1}$ singularities. We find that the leading coefficients of the perturbative grand canonical correlation functions are invariant under a hidden triality symmetry conjectured from the twisted M-theory. The triality symmetry also helps us to fix the next-to-leading corrections analytically.

description: We show the well-posed variational principle in constraint systems. In a naive procedure of the variational principle with constraints, the proper number of boundary conditions does not match with that of physical degrees of freedom dynamical variables, which implies that, even in theories with up to first order derivatives, the minimal (or extremal) of the action with the boundary terms is not a solution of equation of motion in the Dirac procedure of constrained systems. We propose specific and concrete steps to solve this problem. These steps utilize the Hamilton formalism, which allows us to separate the physical degrees of freedom from the constraints. It reveals the physical degrees of freedom which is necessary to be fixed on boundaries, and also enables us to specify the variables to be fixed and the surface terms.

description: We revisit the symplectic aspects of the spectral transform for matrix-valued rational functions with simple poles. We construct eigenvectors of such matrices in terms of the Szegő kernel on the spectral curve. Using variational formulas for the Szegő kernel we construct a new system of action-angle variables for the canonical symplectic form on the space of such functions. Comparison with previously known action-angle variables shows that the vector of Riemann constants is the gradient of some function on the moduli space of spectral curves; this function is found in the case of matrix dimension 2, when the spectral curve is hyperelliptic.

description: We consider wave packet propagation in a quantum wire with either an embedded antidot or an embedded parallel double open quantum dot under the influence of a uniform magnetic field. The magnetoconductance and the time evolution of an electron wave packet are calculated based on the Lippmann-Schwinger formalism. This approach allows us to look at arbitrary embedded potential profiles and illustrate the results by performing computational simulations for the conductance and the time evolution of the electron wave packet through the quantum wire. In the double-dot system we observe a long-lived resonance state that enhances the spatial spreading of the wave packet, and quantum skipping-like trajectories are induced when the envelop function of the wave packet covers several subbands in appropriate magnetic fields.

description: The q-deformed algebra ${\rm so}'_q(r,s)$ is a real form of the q-deformed algebra $U'_q({\rm so}(n,\mathbb{C}))$, $n=r+s$, which differs from the quantum algebra $U_q({\rm so}(n,\mathbb{C}))$ of Drinfeld and Jimbo. We study representations of the most degenerate series of the algebra ${\rm so}'_q(r,s)$. The formulas of action of operators of these representations upon the basis corresponding to restriction of representations onto the subalgebra ${\rm so}'_q(r)\times {\rm so}'_q(s)$ are given. Most of these representations are irreducible. Reducible representations appear under some conditions for the parameters determining the representations. All irreducible constituents which appear in reducible representations of the degenerate series are found. All $*$-representations of ${\rm so}'_q(r,s)$ are separated in the set of irreducible representations obtained in the paper.

description: A spin metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistor (spin MOSFET), which combines a Schottky-barrier MOSFET with ferromagnetic source and drain contacts, is a promising device for spintronic logic. Previous simulation studies predict that this device should display a very high magnetoresistance (MR) ratio (between the cases of parallel and anti-parallel magnetizations) for the case of half-metal ferromagnets (HMF). We use the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism to describe tunneling and carrier transport in this device and to incorporate spin relaxation at the HMF-semiconductor interfaces. Spin relaxation at interfaces results in non-ideal spin injection. Minority spin currents arise and dominate the leakage current for anti-parallel magnetizations. This reduces the MR ratio and sets a practical limit for spin MOSFET performance. We found that MR saturates at a lower value for smaller source-to-drain bias. In addition, spin relaxation at the detector side is found to be more detrimental to MR than that at the injector side, for drain bias less than the energy difference of the minority spin edge and the Fermi level.

Intuitive understanding of non-gaussianity in ekpyrotic and cyclic models

description: It has been pointed out by several groups that ekpyrotic and cyclic models generate significant non-gaussianity. In this paper, we present a physically intuitive, semi-analytic estimate of the bispectrum. We show that, in all such models, there is an intrinsic contribution to the non-gaussianity parameter f_{NL} that is determined by the geometric mean of the equation of state w_{ek} during the ekpyrotic phase and w_{c} during the phase that curvature perturbations are generated and whose value is O(100) or more times the intrinsic value predicted by simple slow-roll inflationary models, f_{NL}^{intrinsic} = O(0.1). Other contributions to f_{NL}, which we also estimate, can increase |f_{NL}| but are unlikely to decrease it significantly, making non-gaussianity a useful test of these models. Furthermore, we discuss a predicted correlation between the non-gaussianity and scalar spectral index that sharpens the test.

description: Fake news causes significant damage to society.To deal with these fake news, several studies on building detection models and arranging datasets have been conducted. Most of the fake news datasets depend on a specific time period. Consequently, the detection models trained on such a dataset have difficulty detecting novel fake news generated by political changes and social changes; they may possibly result in biased output from the input, including specific person names and organizational names. We refer to this problem as \textbf{Diachronic Bias} because it is caused by the creation date of news in each dataset. In this study, we confirm the bias, especially proper nouns including person names, from the deviation of phrase appearances in each dataset. Based on these findings, we propose masking methods using Wikidata to mitigate the influence of person names and validate whether they make fake news detection models robust through experiments with in-domain and out-of-domain data.

description: Pumping of charge current by spin dynamics in the presence of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction is theoretically studied. Considering disordered electron, the exchange coupling and spin-orbit interactions are treated perturbatively. It is found that dominant current induced by the spin dynamics is interpreted as a consequence of the conversion from spin current via the inverse spin Hall effect. We also found that the current has an additional component from a fictitious conservative field. Results are applied to the case of moving domain wall.

The new frontier goes to Venice : Robert Rauschenberg and the XXXII Venice biennale
Creators: name: Monahan, Laurie Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The XXXII Venice Biennale, held in 1964, presented an important moment in the history of American art, for it was the first time that an American painter was awarded the major prize at the prestigious international show. The fact that Robert Rauschenberg captured the most coveted award of the Biennale, the Grand Prize for painting, had major repercussions for the art scene in the United States and the international art community. For the Americans, the prize was "proof" that American art had finally come into its own, that through its struggle for recognition over the European avant-garde, it had finally reached its well-deserved place as leader of the pack. For the Europeans, especially the French, the award represented the "last frontier" of American expansionism--for it seemed that the economic and military dominance of the United States finally had been supplemented by cultural dominance. It seems pertinent to this study to examine the French response in particular, since they had traditionally dominated Biennale prizes. By analyzing the French reviews and responses to the prize, and situating these in a broader political context, I will discuss how the U.S. was perceived as the new cultural leader, despite the vehement objections to the culture of the New Frontier, which seemed to be only Coke bottles, stuffed eagles and carelessly dripped paint. Given the vehement objections engendered by the Rauschenberg victory, it seems somewhat curious that the United States would choose Rauschenberg as a representative of American culture. In order to discover how the pop imagery in the work was linked to the image : of U.S. culture promoted by the U.S. Information Agency (the government agency responsible for the show), it is necessary to analyze the cultural and intellectual debates of the early 1960s. Rejecting earlier notions that high art should remain separate from mass culture, a prominent group of intellectuals argued for a "new sensibility" in art which would embrace popular culture, thereby elevating it. This positive notion of a single, all-embracing culture corresponds to a more general optimism among many intellectuals; their rallying cry was the "end of ideology," which disdained radical critique in favor of the promise of Kennedy's "progressivism" and the welfare state. These intellectuals argued that while the system was not perfect, any major problems could be averted by simply "fine-tuning" the existing state; in the meantime, the promise of Kennedy's New Frontier required a more affirmative than critical stance. The elements shared between these discourses on culture and society at this time were of seminal importance to the critical understanding of Rauschenberg's work, particularly as it was presented at the Biennale.

As an example, we calculate lepton pair production mediated by a virtual photon in quark--anti-quark annihilation, and we compare factorized cross sections obtained in the conventional $\bar{\rm MS}$ scheme with those obtained in a factorization scheme in which a kinematical constraint due to parton radiation is taken into account. We discuss some properties of factorized cross sections.

description: This paper presents a geometric description of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems on Lie affgebroids subject to affine nonholonomic constraints. We define the notion of nonholonomically constrained system, and characterize regularity conditions that guarantee that the dynamics of the system can be obtained as a suitable projection of the unconstrained dynamics. It is shown that one can define an almost aff-Poisson bracket on the constraint AV-bundle, which plays a prominent role in the description of nonholonomic dynamics. Moreover, these developments give a general description of nonholonomic systems and the unified treatment permits to study nonholonomic systems after or before reduction in the same framework. Also, it is not necessary to distinguish between linear or affine constraints and the methods are valid for explicitly time-dependent systems.

description: We compute the next-to-leading order term in the scattering waveform of uncharged black holes in classical general relativity and of half-BPS black holes in $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity. We propose criteria, generalizing explicit calculations at next-to-leading order, for determining the terms in amplitudes that contribute to local observables. For general relativity, we construct the relevant classical integrand through generalized unitarity in two distinct ways, (1) in a heavy-particle effective theory and (2) in general relativity minimally-coupled to scalar fields. With a suitable prescription for the matter propagator in the former, we find agreement between the two methods, thus demonstrating the absence of interference of quantum and classically-singular contributions. The classical $\mathcal{N}=8$ integrand for massive scalar fields is constructed through dimensional reduction of the known five-point one-loop integrand. Our calculation exhibits novel features compared to conservative calculations and inclusive observables, such as the appearance of master integrals with intersecting matter lines and the appearance of a classical infrared divergence whose absence from classical observables requires a suitable definition of the retarded time.

Fiducial inference viewed through a possibility-theoretic inferential model lens

Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)

description: Fisher's fiducial argument is widely viewed as a failed version of Neyman's theory of confidence limits. But Fisher's goal -- Bayesian-like probabilistic uncertainty quantification without priors -- was more ambitious than Neyman's, and it's not out of reach. I've recently shown that reliable, prior-free probabilistic uncertainty quantification must be grounded in the theory of imprecise probability, and I've put forward a possibility-theoretic solution that achieves it. This has been met with resistance, however, in part due to statisticians' singular focus on confidence limits. Indeed, if imprecision isn't needed to perform confidence-limit-related tasks, then what's the point? In this paper, for a class of practically useful models, I explain specifically why the fiducial argument gives valid confidence limits, i.e., it's the "best probabilistic approximation" of the possibilistic solution I recently advanced. This sheds new light on what the fiducial argument is doing and on what's lost in terms of reliability when imprecision is ignored and the fiducial argument is pushed for more than just confidence limits.

Disentangling the hard gluon Bremsstrahlung effects from the relative transverse activity classifier in pp collisions

description: Recently, the so-called relative transverse activity classifier, $R_{\rm T}$, has been proposed as a tool to disentangle the particle production originated from the soft and hard QCD processes in proton-proton (pp) collisions. $R_{\rm T}$ is a useful quantity to study particle production in events with exceptionally large or small activity in the transverse region with respect to the event-averaged mean. Contrary to the expectations, the preliminary results of the ALICE Collaboration indicate that, e.g., the proton-to-pion ratio does not exhibit the characteristic enhancement at intermediate $p_{\rm T}$ in events with large $R_{\rm T}$ with respect to minimum-bias pp collisions. In this work, we investigate the origin of this effect using the PYTHIA 8 and HERWIG 7 Monte Carlo event generators. The effect is a consequence of a selection bias attributed to wide-angle gluon emissions which creates jets that populate the transverse region. Therefore, we propose a modified version of $R_{\rm T}$ in order to suppress its sensitivity to hard gluon Bremsstrahlung, and enhance the sensitivity to soft Multiparton Interactions (MPI). This approach could be useful in order to study the particle production in the jet-like region as a function of MPI. The implementation of these ideas in data will provide more insight into the production mechanisms of hadrons in high-multiplicity pp collisions, and its connection with heavy-ion phenomena.

description: We studied the broadband X-ray timing and spectral behaviors of the newly confirmed accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar MAXI J1816$-$195 during its 2022 outburst. We used the data from Insight-HXMT ME/HE, NICER and NuSTAR which cover the energy range between 0.8$-$210 keV. A coherent timing analysis of solely Insight-HXMT HE data across the full outburst revealed a complex behavior of the timing residuals, also prominently visible in independent Insight-HXMT ME and NICER data, particularly at rising part of the outburst and at the very end in NICER data. Therefore, we broke down the full outburst into a (noisy) rising part, covering only about five days from MJD 59737.0 to 59741.9, and a decaying part lasting for 19 days across MJD 59741.9$-$59760.6. Fitting for the decaying part a timing model including a frequency $ν$ and frequency time derivative $\dotν$ component yielded a value of $(+9.0\pm2.1)\times10^{-14}~{\rm Hz~s^{-1}}$ for $\dotν$, which could be interpreted as a spin-up under our model assumptions. We detected the X-ray pulsations up to $\sim$95 keV in a combination of Insight-HXMT HE observations. The pulse profiles were quite stable over the whole outburst and could be well described by a truncated Fourier series using two harmonics, the fundamental and the first overtone. Both components kept alignment in the range 0.8$-$64 keV. The joint and time-averaged NICER and Insight-HXMT spectra in the energy range 1$-$150 keV were well fitted by the absorbed Comptonization model compps plus disk blackbody with two additional Gaussian components. Using the bolometric flux and spin-up values both evaluated during the decay phase, we determined a magnetic field strength of $(0.2-2)\times10^8$ G for MAXI J1816$-$195.

description: The aim of this paper is to examine the popularization strategies adopted in texts destined for children and teenagers which deal with COVID-19. It is well documented that the age and the cognitive profile of the target reader have a strong bearing on the structure and nature of a text (Bruti this volume) and that popularization strategies are adjusted in different ways (Turnbull 2015). As Kolucki and Lemish (2011) emphasize, there is a need for communication with children in a way that is age-appropriate and suitable to their needs and interests. Following this research strand, in this paper we analyze the popularization strategies associated with the explanation of coronavirus in relation to the age of the addressee. To this purpose we focus on English booklets and websites dealing with COVID-19 which address two different age groups, children and teenagers. Attention is paid to examples that highlight popularization strategies on the basis of their verbal and visual elements. The basic methodological framework of this study is discourse analysis, with reliance on notions taken from multimodality (Bateman 2014; Kress – van Leeuwen 2020). This provides instruments suitable for identifying cases where the visual mode interacts with the verbal mode to support popularization strategies.

description: We study an extension of the MSSM by an anomalous abelian vector multiplet and a Stückelberg multiplet. The anomalies are cancelled by the Green-Schwarz mechanism and the addition of Chern-Simons terms. The advantage of this choice over the standard one is that it allows for arbitrary values of the quantum numbers of the extra U(1). As a first step towards the study of hadron annihilations producing four leptons in the final state (a clean signal which might be studied at LHC) we then compute the decays $Z'\to Z_0 \g$ and $Z'\to Z_0 Z_0$. We find that the largest values of the decay rate is $\sim 10^{-4}$ GeV, while the expected number of events per year at LHC is at most of the order of 10.

description: The Hubble tension, if not caused by any systematics, could be relieved or even resolved from modifying either the early-time or late-time Universe. The early-time modifications are usually in tension with either galaxy clustering or galaxy lensing constraints. The late-time modifications are also in conflict with the constraint from the inverse distance ladder, which, however, is weakened by the dependence on a sound-horizon prior and some particular approximation for the late-time expansion history. To achieve a more general no-go argument for the late-time scenarios, we propose to use a global parametrizationbased on the cosmic age (PAge) to consistently use the cosmic chronometers data beyond the Taylor expansion domain and without the input of a sound-horizon prior. Both the early-time and late-time scenarios are therefore largely ruled out, indicating the possible ways out of the Hubble tension from either exotic modifications of our concordance Universe or some unaccounted systematics.

description: Forecast reconciliation is a post-forecasting process that involves transforming a set of incoherent forecasts into coherent forecasts which satisfy a given set of linear constraints for a multivariate time series. In this paper we extend the current state-of-the-art cross-sectional probabilistic forecast reconciliation approach to encompass a cross-temporal framework, where temporal constraints are also applied. Our proposed methodology employs both parametric Gaussian and non-parametric bootstrap approaches to draw samples from an incoherent cross-temporal distribution. To improve the estimation of the forecast error covariance matrix, we propose using multi-step residuals, especially in the time dimension where the usual one-step residuals fail. To address high-dimensionality issues, we present four alternatives for the covariance matrix, where we exploit the two-fold nature (cross-sectional and temporal) of the cross-temporal structure, and introduce the idea of overlapping residuals. We assess the effectiveness of the proposed cross-temporal reconciliation approaches through a simulation study that investigates their theoretical and empirical properties and two forecasting experiments, using the Australian GDP and the Australian Tourism Demand datasets. For both applications, the optimal cross-temporal reconciliation approaches significantly outperform the incoherent base forecasts in terms of the Continuous Ranked Probability Score and the Energy Score. Overall, the results highlight the potential of the proposed methods to improve the accuracy of probabilistic forecasts and to address the challenge of integrating disparate scenarios while coherently taking into account short-term operational, medium-term tactical, and long-term strategic planning.

Three findings to model a quantum-gravitational theory

description: In 1967 Zeldovich expressed the cosmological constant lambda in terms of G, m and h, the gravitational constant, the mass of a fundamental particle and Plancks constant. In 1972 Weinberg expressed m in terms of h, G, the speed of light c and the Hubble parameter H. We proved that both expressions are identical. We also found proportionality between c and H. The critical mass balancing the outward quantum mechanical spreading of the wave function, and its inward gravitational collapse, has been recently estimated. We identify this mass with Zeldovich and Weinberg mass. A semi classical gravity model is reinforced and provides an insight for the modelling of a quantum-gravitational theory. The time evolution of the peak probability density for a free particle, a wave function initially filling the whole Universe, explains the later geometrical properties of the fundamental particles. We prove that they end up acquiring a constant size given by their Compton wavelength. The size of the fundamental particles, as well as their mass, is explained. The three findings converge: Newton laws of motion and gravitation, while explaining Zeldovich and Weinberg relations, also define the mass and size of the fundamental particles when using the Schrodinger-Newton equation.

description: This study applies the notion of popularization to assess how the Covid-19 pandemic is explained to young children. The analysis is carried out on two corpora: texts providing advice to parents on how to talk to their children about Covid-19, and texts aimed directly at children. The research is informed by studies on specialized knowledge dissemination, medical and scientific popularization and health literacy, contributing to the growing body of research on popularization to children. All corpora contain texts in English, with smaller subcorpora of Italian and Russian texts to provide contrastive remarks, where applicable. The findings focus on definitions of key concepts and on their metaphorical framing, including reliance on the pre-existing knowledge of children realized through similes. The quality of popularized materials for children (and their caregivers) is problematized on account of several misconceptions introduced in definitions. Finally, it is argued that personification is the most frequent and distinctive strategy of popularization to children, as opposed to texts targeting their parents relying on a wider range of popularizing strategies, and could be added as a separate category to the existing theoretical framework.

description: The formation of subdwarf B (sdB) stars is not well understood within the current framework of stellar single and binary evolution. In this study, we focus on the formation and evolution of the pulsating sdB star in the very short-period eclipsing binary PG1336-018. We aim at refining the formation scenario of this unique system, so that it can be confronted with observations. We probe the stellar structure of the progenitors of sdB stars in short-period binaries using detailed stellar evolution calculations. Applying this to PG1336-018 we reconstruct the common-envelope phase during which the sdB star was formed. The results are interpreted in terms of the standard common-envelope formalism (the alpha-formalism) based on the energy equation, and an alternative description (the gamma-formalism) using the angular momentum equation. We find that if the common-envelope evolution is described by the alpha-formalism, the sdB progenitor most likely experienced a helium flash. We then expect the sdB mass to be between 0.39 and 0.48 Msun, and the sdB progenitor initial mass to be below ~2 Msun. However, the results for the gamma-formalism are less restrictive, and a broader sdB mass range (0.3 - 0.8 Msun) is possible in this case. Future seismic mass determination will give strong constraints on the formation of PG1336-018 and, in particular, on the CE phase.

description: This is the manuscript for Ensemble Protein Inference Evaluation. It details the current state of the field for bottom-up shotgun proteomics, a novel protein standard dataset, a novel ensemble protein inference evaluation engine, Best In Show, as well as several novel protein inference methods. Finally, these novel inference methods, as well the several state of the art inference methods are evaluated against one another by Best In Show. One novel method, Semi-supervised, is shown to outperform all other methods under consideration. To evaluate performance of the winner on a real world dataset, it's performance is compared to and evaluated against a model which is a slight variation of the two-peptide rule.
GW200105 and GW200115 are compatible with a scenario of primordial black hole binary coalescences

description: Two gravitational wave events, i.e. GW200105 and GW200115, were observed by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors recently. In this work, we show that they can be explained by a scenario of primordial black hole binaries that are formed in the early Universe. The merger rate predicted by such a scenario could be consistent with the one estimated from LIGO and Virgo, even if primordial black holes constitute a fraction of cold dark matter. The required abundance of primordial black holes is compatible with the existing upper limits from microlensing, caustic crossing and cosmic microwave background observations.

Role determinants of teachers of the visually impaired
Creators: name: Hass, Julia Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The trend to mainstream visually impaired students in British Columbia over the last seven years has resulted in new teacher roles--those of itinerant or resource room teachers. Changing caseloads, teaching technology and philosophy have created a dynamic milieu in which such teachers operate. This study was undertaken to fill a gap in exploratory research data on some of the factors that determine the role of these teachers in this province. A questionnaire was designed and completed by the 44 teachers of the visually impaired in British Columbia. Results of the study gave information from 40 responding teachers regarding teaching training characteristics, work setting, details on the size and characteristics of caseloads and the orientation of services. A beginning was also made in determining some common concerns and issues in the field. The need for further research in many of these areas in addition to role definition was suggested to be of benefit to both specialist teachers and other professionals with whom they consult.

description: The first-principles calculations predict a stable biphenylene carbon network (BPN) like the Boron-nitride structure named inorganic biphenylene network (I-BPN). A comparison has been done between BPN and I-BPN to examine the stability of the I-BPN monolayer. We calculate the formation energy, phonon dispersion and mechanical parameters: young modulus and Poisson ratio for mechanical stability. It has been found that the stability of I-BPN is comparable with the BPN. The lattice transport properties reveal that the phonon thermal conductivity of I-BPN is 10th order low than the BPN. The electronic band structure reveals that I-BPN is a semiconductor with an indirect bandgap of 1.88 eV with valence band maximum (VBM) at Y and conduction band maximum (CBM) at the X high symmetry point. In addition, the thermoelectric parameters, such as the seebeck coefficient, show the highest peak value of 0.00292 V/K at 324K. Electronic transport properties reveal that I-BPN is highly anisotropic along the x and y-axes. Furthermore, the thermoelectric power factor as a function of chemical potential shows a peak value of 0.0056 W/mK2 (900K) along the x-axis in the p-type doping region. An electronic figure of merit shows an amplified peak approach to 1. The total figure of merit (including lattice transport parameters) shows peak values of 0.378 (0.21) for p-type and 0.24 (0.198) n-type regions along the x(y) direction. It is notice that the obtain ZT peaks values are higher than any B-N compositions.
