description: Understanding the production mechanism of light (anti)nuclei is one of the key challenges of nuclear physics and has important consequences for astrophysics, since it provides an input for indirect dark-matter searches in space. In this paper, the latest results about the production of light (anti)nuclei in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV are presented, focusing on the comparison with the predictions of coalescence and thermal models. For the first time, the coalescence parameters $B_2$ for deuterons and $B_3$ for helions are compared with parameter-free theoretical predictions that are directly constrained by the femtoscopic measurement of the source radius in the same event class. A fair description of the data with a Gaussian wave function is observed for both deuteron and helion, supporting the coalescence mechanism for the production of light (anti)nuclei in pp collisions. This method paves the way for future investigations of the internal structure of more complex nuclear clusters, including the hypertriton.

description: Ion orbit loss is considered important for generating the radially inward electric field $E_r$ in a tokamak edge plasma. In particular, this effect is emphasized in diverted tokamaks with a magnetic X point. In neoclassical equilibria, Coulomb collisions can scatter ions onto loss orbits and generate a radially outward current, which in steady state is balanced by the radially inward current from viscosity. To quantitatively measure this loss-orbit current in an edge pedestal, an ion-orbit-flux diagnostic has been implemented in the axisymmetric version of the gyrokinetic particle-in-cell code XGC. As the first application of this diagnostic, a neoclassical DIII-D H-mode plasma is studied using gyrokinetic ions and adiabatic electrons. The validity of the diagnostic is demonstrated by studying the collisional relaxation of $E_r$ in the core. After this demonstration, the loss-orbit current is numerically measured in the edge pedestal in quasisteady state. In this plasma, it is found that the radial electric force on ions from $E_r$ approximately balances the ion radial pressure gradient in the edge pedestal, with the radial force from the plasma flow term being a minor component. The effect of orbit loss on $E_r$ is found to be only mild. How ion orbit loss will affect $E_r$ in the full-current ITER plasma pedestal is left as a subsequent study topic.

description: We discuss stiffening of dense matter in two color QCD (QC$_2$D) where hadrons are mesons and diquark baryons. We study two models which describe a transition of matter from the Bose-Einstein-Condensation regime at low density to the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer regime at high density. The first model is based on coherent states of diquarks, and the second is the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with diquark pairing terms. We particularly focus on how quark states are occupied as baryon density increases. We find that, due to the occupied quark levels, the ideal gas picture of diquarks breaks down at density significantly less than the density where baryon cores overlap. The saturation of quark states at low momenta stiffens equations of state. We also study the effects of interactions which depend on the quark occupation probability. We argue that equations of state become very stiff when the bulk part of the quark Fermi sea has the effective repulsion but the Fermi surface enjoys the attractive correlations. This disparity for different momentum domains is possible due to the strong channel dependence in gluon exchanges with momentum transfer of $0.2-1$ GeV. These concepts can be transferred from QC$_2$D to QCD in any numbers of colors.

Measurement of inclusive charged-particle b-jet production in pp and p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV

description: A measurement of the inclusive b-jet production cross section is presented in pp and p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV, using data collected with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The jets were reconstructed in the central rapidity region $|η|<0.5$ from charged particles using the anti-$k_{\rm T}$ algorithm with resolution parameter $R=0.4$. Identification of b jets exploits the long lifetime of b hadrons, using the properties of secondary vertices and impact parameter distributions. The $p_{\rm T}$-differential inclusive production cross section of b jets, as well as the corresponding inclusive b-jet fraction, are reported for pp and p-Pb collisions in the jet transverse momentum range $10 \le p_{\text{T, ch jet}} \le 100$ GeV/$c$, together with the nuclear modification factor, $R_{\rm pPb}^{\text{b-jet}}$. The analysis thus extends the lower $p_{\rm T}$ limit of b-jet measurements at the LHC. The nuclear modification factor is found to be consistent with unity, indicating that the production of b jets in p-Pb at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV is not affected by cold nuclear matter effects within the current precision. The measurements are well reproduced by POWHEG NLO pQCD calculations with PYTHIA fragmentation.

description: The gradient expansion is the fundamental organising principle underlying relativistic hydrodynamics, yet understanding its convergence properties for general nonlinear flows has posed a major challenge. We introduce a simple method to address this question in a class of fluids modelled by Israel-Stewart--type relaxation equations. We apply it to (1+1)-dimensional flows and provide numerical evidence for factorially divergent gradient expansions. This generalises results previously only obtained for (0+1)-dimensional comoving flows, notably Bjorken flow. We also demonstrate that the only known nontrivial case of a convergent hydrodynamic gradient expansion at the nonlinear level relies on Bjorken flow symmetries and becomes factorially divergent as soon as these are relaxed. Finally, we show that factorial divergence can be removed using a momentum space cutoff, which generalises a result obtained earlier in the context of linear response.

Measurement of prompt $\rm{D_{s}^{+}}$-meson production and azimuthal anisotropy in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV

description: The production yield and angular anisotropy of prompt ${D_s^+}$ mesons were measured as a function of transverse momentum ($p_{ T}$) in Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_{ NN}} = 5.02$ TeV collected with the ALICE detector at the LHC. ${D_s^+}$ mesons and their charge conjugates were reconstructed at midrapidity ($|y|<0.5$) from their hadronic decay channel ${D_s^+ \to ϕπ^+}$, with ${ϕ\to K^-K^+}$, in the $p_{ T}$ intervals $210$ GeV/$c$, the measured ${D_s^+}$-meson nuclear modification factor $R_{ AA}$ is consistent with the one of non-strange D mesons within uncertainties, while at lower $p_{ T}$ a hint for a ${D_s^+}$-meson $R_{ AA}$ larger than that of non-strange D mesons is seen. The enhanced production of ${D_s^+}$ relative to non-strange D mesons is also studied by comparing the $p_{ T}$-dependent ${D_s^+/D^0}$ production yield ratios in Pb-Pb and in pp collisions. The ratio measured in Pb-Pb collisions is found to be on average higher than that in pp collisions in the interval $2

description: Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most debilitating complications of type 2 diabetes. Recent evidence suggests chronic inflammation to be one of the causal factors of DKD. The mechanisms entailed are not completely elucidated except that a variety of cytokines play a major role in this process. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a pro-inflammatory toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4)-binding cytokine that is involved in inflammation-associated gene expression. This investigation was designed to assess the involvement of HMGB1, TLR-4, and nuclear factor (NF)-κB in the development of DKD and to evaluate that whether blocking HMGB1 by its natural inhibitor Glycyrrhizin (GLC) can reduce the progression of the disease. Methods: Studies were carried out in 8-10-weeks old Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) and lean, age- and gender-matched rats. At 10 weeks of age, ZDF rats as compared to controls, showed hyperglycemia, without proteinuria. After 8-10 weeks of the development of diabetes, ZDF animals that showed proteinuria were treated with GLC for 4 weeks. In addition, normal rat kidney (NRK-52E) cells with epithelial-like morphology were comparatively treated with GLC under hyperglycemic condition in vitro. Results: Substantial increase in the expression of HMGB1, TLR4, and NF-κB in vivo and in vitro under hyperglycemic conditions was observed as compared to normoglycemic conditions. The overexpression of HMGB1, TLR4, NF-κB, and glomerular injury marker nestin was significantly ameliorated by GLC administration. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that hyperglycemia-induced HMGB1 activation in ZDF rats may contribute to the progression of DKD.

description: We derive a general formalism for interferometric visibilities, which considers first-order antenna-antenna coupling and assumes steady-state, incident radiation. We simulate such coupling features for non-polarized skies on a compact, redundantly-spaced array and present a phenomenological analysis of the coupling features. Contrary to previous studies, we find mutual coupling features manifest themselves at nonzero fringe rates. We compare power spectrum results for both coupled and non-coupled (noiseless, simulated) data and find coupling effects to be highly dependent on LST, baseline length, and baseline orientation. For all LSTs, lengths, and orientations, coupling features appear at delays which are outside the foreground 'wedge', which has been studied extensively and contains non-coupled astrophysical foreground features. Further, we find that first-order coupling effects threaten our ability to average data from baselines with identical length and orientation. Two filtering strategies are proposed which may mitigate such coupling systematics. The semi-analytic coupling model herein presented may be used to study mutual coupling systematics as a function of LST, baseline length, and baseline orientation. Such a model is not only helpful to the field of 21cm cosmology, but any study involving interferometric measurements, where coupling effects at the level of at least 1 part in 10^4 could corrupt the scientific result. Our model may be used to mitigate coupling systematics in existing radio interferometers and to design future arrays where the configuration of array elements inherently mitigates coupling effects at desired LSTs and angular resolutions.

description: We investigate the absorption and production processes of this new state in a hadronic medium, considering the reactions $T_{cc}^+ π, T_{cc}^+ ρ\rightarrow D^{(*)} D^{(*)} $ and the corresponding inverse reactions. We use effective field Lagrangians to account for the couplings between light and heavy mesons, and give special attention to the form factors in the vertices. We calculate here for the first time the $ T_{cc}^+ - D - D^*$ form factor derived from QCD sum rules. The results are also obtained by testing widely utilized empirical form factors. The absorption cross sections are found to be larger than the production ones. We compare our results with the only existing estimate of these quantities, presented in a work of J.~Hong, S.~Cho, T.~Song and S.~H.~Lee, in which the authors employed the quasi-free approximation. We find cross sections which are one order of magnitude smaller.

description: Phytochemicals serve as potential therapeutic agents for the prevention and treatment of diseases. In this study, we elucidate the renoprotective activity of compounds isolated from Eucalyptus globulus and Melaleuca styphelioides extracts in glucose- and oxalate-challenged NRK-49F cell model. The antioxidant potential of isolated compounds was evaluated based on their effect on antioxidant enzyme activities and lipid peroxidation levels. The results demonstrated that exposure of NRK-49F cells to glucose and oxalate stress augmented cell damage and attenuated antioxidant enzyme activities. The phytochemicals 2,2,8-trimethyl-6-formyl-chrom-3-ene-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, Cornusiin B and tellimagrandin I treatment restored antioxidant enzyme activity, significantly lowered lipid peroxidation levels and effectively protected cells from glucose and oxalate stress equivalent to the known antioxidant, N-acetyl cysteine. Pterocarinin A significantly reversed cellular damage owing to glucose stress. In conclusion, the compounds isolated from E. globulus and M. styphelioides showed potential cytoprotective and anti-oxidative property against glucose- and oxalate-induced oxidative stress in NRK-49F cells.

description: In this work we propose Support Vector Machine classification algorithms to classify onedimensional crystal lattice waves from locally sampled data. Different learning datasets of particle displacements, momenta and energy density values are considered. Efficiency of the classification algorithms is further improved by two dimensionality reduction techniques: Principal Component Analysis and Locally Linear Embedding. Robustness of classifiers is investigated and demonstrated. Developed algorithms are successfully applied to detect localized intrinsic modes in three numerical simulations considering a case of two localized stationary breather solutions, a single stationary breather solution in noisy background and two mobile breather collision.

description: Neural network is a dynamical system described by two different types of degrees of freedom: fast-changing non-trainable variables (e.g. state of neurons) and slow-changing trainable variables (e.g. weights and biases). We show that the non-equilibrium dynamics of trainable variables can be described by the Madelung equations, if the number of neurons is fixed, and by the Schrodinger equation, if the learning system is capable of adjusting its own parameters such as the number of neurons, step size and mini-batch size. We argue that the Lorentz symmetries and curved space-time can emerge from the interplay between stochastic entropy production and entropy destruction due to learning. We show that the non-equilibrium dynamics of non-trainable variables can be described by the geodesic equation (in the emergent space-time) for localized states of neurons, and by the Einstein equations (with cosmological constant) for the entire network. We conclude that the quantum description of trainable variables and the gravitational description of non-trainable variables are dual in the sense that they provide alternative macroscopic descriptions of the same learning system, defined microscopically as a neural network.

description: The brown seaweed, Sargassum linearifolium (Turner) C. Agardh, 1820 is commonly available along the south-east coast of India. Its compound fucosterol was isolated and confirmed through spectral characterisation and chemical transformation methods. The antiplasmodial effect of the isolated fucosterol was investigated against the 3D7 chloroquine sensitive Plasmodium falciparum strain, parasitaemia percentage was determined at 48 h and morphological change was studied through microscopic examination after Giemsa staining. A perceptible antiplasmodial effect was produced by fucosterol compound against the P. falciparum and positive control, chloroquine with the IC50 values (μg/mL) of 7.48 and 12.81, respectively. Fucosterol showed higher antiplasmodial activity as compared to chloroquine. It is inferred that both the fucosterol and chloroquine could have inhibited the schizont stage of the parasite during the intra-erythrocyte asexual development. The findings underline the usefulness of the seaweed-based fucosterol and further studies are warranted.

description: Payment cultures around the globe are diverse and have significant implications on security, privacy and trust. We study usable security aspects of payment cultures in four culturally distinct societies. Based on a qualitative study in Germany and Iran, we developed an online survey and deployed it in Germany, Iran, China, and the United States. The results reveal significant differences between the studied countries. For example, we found that participants from Iran and China are more comfortable with credential sharing and German participants were most accepting towards cryptocurrencies. We suggest these kinds of differences in payment culture need to be considered in the context of HCI research when evaluating current payment mechanisms or designing new ones.

description: The correlation between neutron skin-thickness of a neutron-rich nucleus and slope parameter of symmetry energy is assessed as a function of density using relativistic mean field models containing non-linear couplings among different mesons. Models with larger skin were found to probe the slope parameter even at suprasaturation densities, whereas models with smaller skin were observed to be sensitive only at specific subsaturation density, connected to the average density of nuclei. Possible reasons behind this density dependence are explored systematically. These results might be model specific, which need to be reassessed in other type of interactions existing in the literature. Nevertheless, extrapolating the predictions at high densities from models, which are optimized by data at saturation or subsaturation densities, needs to be handled with care.

description: The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations between dietary pattern, adiponectin and insulin resistance. The study population consisted of 612 men and women aged 35–69 years old who had participated in the baseline survey of Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort (J-MICC) Study in Tokushima Prefecture. Diets and lifestyle related variables were assessed by questionnaires. Multiple regression analyses were used to analyse the relations between dietary patterns and high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin. For further analysis, path analysis was used to test the hypothesised model of association between dietary pattern, serum adiponectin and insulin resistance. The result showed that higher score of bread and dairy pattern was directly associated with increased serum level of adiponectin in women, which was inversely related to homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). In conclusion, higher consumption of bread and dairy products, and low intake of rice may be associated with increased serum adiponectin in women.

description: Photon counting detectors such as single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays can be utilized to improve the sensitivity of optical wireless communication (OWC) systems. However, the achievable data rate of SPAD-based OWC systems is strongly limited by the nonlinearity induced by SPAD dead time. In this work, the performance of SPAD-based OWC system with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is investigated and compared with that of on-off keying (OOK). We employ nonlinear equalization, peak-to-average power ratio optimization by adjusting the OFDM clipping level, and adaptive bit and energy loading to achieve a record experimental data rate of 5 Gbps. The contrasting optimal regimes of operation of the two modulation schemes are also demonstrated.

description: In this work, we investigate warm inflationary models in the context of a general scalar-tensor theory of gravity which is coupled to radiation through a dissipation term. We first derive the potential of exponential and hyperbolic tangent forms. We consider a dissipation parameter of the form $Γ= C_{1}T$ with $C_1$ being a coupling parameter and focus only on the strong regime of which the interaction between inflaton and radiation fluid has been taken into account. We compute inflationary observables and constrain the parameters of our model using current Planck 2018 data. From our analysis, we discover that the weak coupling limit $ξ\ll 1$ is needed in order to have the derived $n_s$ and $r$ consistent with the Planck 2018 observational constraints. Particularly, we constrain the potential scale $V_{0}$ of the models.

description: The discovery of multiferroic behavior in monolayer NiI$_2$ provides a new symmetry-broken state in van der Waals monolayers, featuring the simultaneous emergence of helimagnetic order and ferroelectric order at a critical temperature of $T=21$ K. However, the microscopic origin of multiferroic order in NiI$_2$ monolayer has not been established, and in particular, the role of non-colinear magnetism and spin-orbit coupling in this compound remains an open problem. Here we reveal the origin of the two-dimensional multiferroicity in NiI$_2$ using first-principles electronic structure methods. We show that the helimagnetic state appears as a consequence of the long-range magnetic exchange interactions, featuring sizable magnetic moments in the iodine atoms. We demonstrate that the electronic density reconstruction accounting for the ferroelectric order emerges from the interplay of non-collinear magnetism and spin-orbit coupling. We demonstrate that the ferroelectric order is controlled by the iodine spin-orbit coupling, and leads to an associated electronically-driven distortion in the lattice. Our results establish the microscopic origin of the multiferroic behavior in monolayer NiI$_2$, putting forward the coexistence of helical magnetic order and ligand spin-orbit coupling as driving forces for multiferroic behavior in two-dimensional materials.

description: The neutrino-electron scattering process is a powerful tool to explore new physics beyond the standard model. Recently the possibility of DUNE Near Detector (ND) to constrain various new physics scenarios using this process have been highlighted in the literature. In this work, we consider the most general U(1) model and probe the constraints on the mass and coupling strength of the additional $Z'$ from $ν-e$ scattering at DUNE ND. The presence of the $Z^\prime$ gives rise to extra interference effects. In the context of the general U(1) model, the destructive interference can occur in either neutrino or anti-neutrino channel or for both or none. This opens up the possibilities of getting four different type of signal in the neutrino and ant-neutrino runs of DUNE. We perform the analysis using both the total rate and binned events spectrum. Our results show that in a bin by bin analysis the effect of destructive interference is less compared to the analysis using total rate. We present the bounds on the $ m_{Z^\prime} - g_X$ plane from $ν-e$ scattering measurements at DUNE ND and compare these with those obtained from other $ν-e$ scattering, COHERENT, and beam dump experiments. We show that the DUNE ND can give the best bound for certain mass ranges of $Z^\prime$.

description: The lack of high-quality atomic data, such as the transition probabilities (Aki) of rare earths like neodymium (Nd), poses a significant challenge for astrophysicists in accurately determining stellar chemical abundances. So, generating accurate and improved atomic data is crucial. One method involves analysing spectral emissions from the plasma of a hollow cathode lamp with an Nd cathode.

Why is it so difficult to realize Dy$^{4+}$ in as-synthesized BaZrO$_3$?

description: Rare-earth doped barium zirconate (BaZrO$_3$) ceramics are of interest as proton-conducting and luminescent materials. Here, we report a study of dysprosium (Dy) and other relevant point defects in BaZrO$_3$ using hybrid density-functional defect calculations. The tetravalent Dy$^{4+}$ is found to be structurally and electronically stable at the Zr lattice site (i.e., as Dy$_{\rm Zr}^0$), but most often energetically less favorable than the trivalent Dy$^{3+}$ (i.e., Dy$_{\rm Zr}^-$) in as-synthesized BaZrO$_3$, due to the formation of low-energy, positively charged oxygen vacancies and the mixed-site occupancy of Dy in the host lattice. The Dy$^{4+}$/Dy$^{3+}$ ratio can, in principle, be increased by preparing the material under highly oxidizing and Ba-rich conditions and co-doping with acceptor-like impurities; however, post-synthesis treatment may still be needed to realize a non-negligible Dy$^{4+}$ concentration. We also find that certain unoccupied Dy $4f$ states and the O $2p$ states are {\it strongly hybridized}, a feature not often seen in rare-earth-containing materials, and that the isolated Dy$_{\rm Zr}$ defect might be the source of a broad blue emission in band-to-defect ("charge-transfer") luminescence.

description: Additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic components promises many advantages over conventional manufacturing processes through high design flexibility across multiple length scales and precision coupled with an astonishing combination of mechanical properties. Characterizing the relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties remains one of the major challenges for this novel technology. A natural precursor is identifying the influence of the processing path on the developing microstructure. We combine experimental studies of single-track laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) scans of AISI 316L stainless steel, finite element analyses, and large-scale three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics simulations to provide a unique understanding of the underlying mechanisms leading to the formation of heterogeneous defect structures in additively manufactured metals. Our results show that the interruption of dislocation slip at solidification cell walls is responsible for the formation of cellular dislocation structures, highlighting the significance of solute segregation for plastic deformation of additively manufactured components. This work provides a mechanistic perspective on heterogeneous microstructure formation and opens the potential for a reliable prediction of the resulting mechanical properties of additively manufactured parts.

The coupling flow of ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory

description: We offer a novel perspective on ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory through the framework of the Nicolai map, a transformation of the bosonic fields that allows one to compute quantum correlators in terms of a free, purely bosonic functional measure. Generally, any Nicolai map is obtained through a path-ordered exponential of the so-called coupling flow operator. The latter can be canonically constructed in any gauge using an ${\cal N}=1$ off-shell superfield formulation of ${\cal N}=4$ SYM, or alternatively through dimensional reduction of the result from ${\cal N}=1$ $D=10$ SYM, in which case we need to restrict to the Landau gauge. We propose a general theory of the ${\cal N}=4$ coupling flow operator, arguing that it exhibits an ambiguity in form of an R-symmetry freedom given by the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{su}(4)$. This theory incorporates our two construction approaches as special points in $\mathfrak{su}(4)$ and defines a broad class of Nicolai maps for ${\cal N}=4$ SYM.

description: We study the emergence of non-Gaussian quantum features in pulsed squeezed light generation with a mesoscopic number (i.e., dozens to hundreds) of pump photons. Due to the strong optical nonlinearities necessarily involved in this regime, squeezing occurs alongside significant pump depletion, compromising the predictions made by conventional semiclassical models for squeezing. Furthermore, nonlinear interactions among multiple frequency modes render the system dynamics exponentially intractable in naïve quantum models, requiring a more sophisticated modeling framework. To this end, we construct a nonlinear Gaussian approximation to the squeezing dynamics, defining a "Gaussian interaction frame" (GIF) in which non-Gaussian quantum dynamics can be isolated and concisely described using a few dominant (i.e., principal) supermodes. Numerical simulations of our model reveal non-Gaussian distortions of squeezing in the mesoscopic regime, largely associated with signal-pump entanglement. We argue that the state of the art in nonlinear nanophotonics is quickly approaching this regime, providing an all-optical platform for experimental studies of the semiclassical-to-quantum transition in a rich paradigm of coherent, multimode nonlinear dynamics. Mesoscopic pulsed squeezing thus provides an intriguing case study of the rapid rise in dynamic complexity associated with semiclassical-to-quantum crossover, which we view as a correlate of the emergence of new information-processing capacities in the quantum regime.

description: The effects of the unique density of states (DOS) of a topological type-II nodal-line semimetal (NLS) on its thermoelectric (TE) transport properties are investigated through a combination of semi-analytical and first-principles methods with "spinless Mg$_3$Bi$_2$" as artificial material. The DOS in such a type-II NLS possesses two van Hove singularities near the energy of the nodal line that leads to a large $S$ value compared to the normal metals. Combined with the linear band at the nodal line that gives high electrical conductivity $σ$, the type-II NLS can exhibit a relatively high TE power factor ($\text{PF}=S^2σ$) at the nodal line. In particular, we find $\text{PF} \sim 60$ $μ$W/cmK$^2$ at 300 K for the n-type Mg$_3$Bi$_2$ by considering the electron-phonon scattering, in which the relaxation time $τ$ of carriers can be expressed as $τ\propto\text{DOS}^{-1}$ for the type-II NLS. Furthermore, we optimize parameters for the TE power factor of type-II NLSs in general by adopting the two-band model with the DOS-dependent relaxation time approximation. Our results suggest the type-II NLSs as a potential class of high-performance TE materials among metals and semimetals, which are traditionally considered not good TE materials compared to semiconductors.
