Valley charge-transfer insulator in twisted double bilayer WSe2 by LingNan Wei, Qingxin Li, Majeed Ur Rehman, Yangchen He, Dongdong An, Shiwei Li, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Martin Claassen, Kostya S. Novoselov, Dante M. Kennes, Angel Rubio, Daniel A. Rhodes, Lede Xian, Geliang Yu, Lei Wang

“…Here, we introduce twisted double bilayer (TDB) WSe2, with twist angles near 60°, as a controllable platform in which the K-valley band can be tuned to close vicinity of the Γ-valley moiré flat band. At half-filling, correlations split the Γ-valley flat band into upper and lower Hubbard bands and a charge-transfer insulator forms between the Γ-valley upper Hubbard band and K-valley band. …”

Site Assessment for Astroparticle Detector Location in Evaporites of the Polkowice-Sieroszowice Copper Ore Mine, Poland by Jaroslaw Slizowski, Zenon Pilecki, Kazimierz Urbanczyk, Elzbieta Pilecka, Leszek Lankof, Rafal Czarny

“…Displacement and stresses of the rock salt in the chamber vicinity are much greater for the Lubby2 law. The displacements indicated at the chamber contour are the reason that the alternative location in the anhydrite layer was more advantageous.…”

Acoustic Signatures of the Phases and Phase Transitions in the Blume Capel Model with Random Crystal Field by Gul Gulpinar

“…The results showed that ωτ≪1 and ωτ≫1 are the conditions that describe low- and high-frequency regimes, where τ is the single relaxation time diverging in the vicinity of the critical temperature. In addition, assuming a linear coupling of sound wave with the order parameter fluctuations in the system and ε as the temperature distance from the critical point, we found that the sound attenuation follows the power laws α(ω,ε)~ω2ε-1 and α(ω,ε)~ω0ε1 in the low- and high-frequency regions, while ε→0. …”

Experimental study on fire temperature field of extra-long highway tunnel under the effect of auxiliary channel design parameters by Yinjun Tan, Jie Li, Huayun Li, Zhisheng Li

“…The design parameters of the inclined and vertical shafts predominantly affect the temperature distribution in the vicinity of the tunnel's intersection. As the inclined shaft's angle is increased from 3° to 12°, and the vertical shaft's diameter and height are increased from 0.4 m to 0.7 m and from 4 m to 10 m, respectively, the maximum temperature variation percentages are 23.7 %, 27.3 %, and 25 %, respectively. …”
