Summary: In this study, first-principles calculations were used to investigate the structural, electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of SrCo1-xAxO3 (A=Fe or Cr, x=0.125 and 0.25) materials. It was found that the doping of Fe increased the magnetic moment and all materials exhibited metallic conductivity. The variations in the real part values suggested a Drude-like dielectric function behavior for this material.

Summary: This study systematically investigates the effective elastic properties of 1D hexagonal quasicrystal (QC) with spring-type imperfect interfaces. The numerical results show that the presence of imperfect interfaces reduces the effective elastic constants to some extent, indicating the important role played by the interface in the elastic properties of QC composites.

Summary: Selenium selenide (SnSe) has gained attention for its environmental friendliness and low thermal conductivity. Single-crystal SnSe has high thermoelectric properties but is mechanically weak and difficult to manufacture, making it not suitable for commercial usage. Polycrystalline SnSe is easier to synthesize but has poor thermoelectric performance. In this study, polycrystalline SnSe samples are prepared using hydrothermal synthesis combined with vacuum sintering, and their thermoelectric properties are modified through alkali metal element doping.

Summary: This study reports on the deposition of highly transparent conducting n-type zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films on FTO substrates, using an optimized doping process. The results showed that 4% vanadium (V) doping significantly enhances the crystallinity of the thin films, improves the electrical conductivity and reduces deep level defects in ZnO. The V-doped ZnO thin films exhibit high transparency, enhanced UV emission, and improved carrier mobility, leading to higher photocatalytic performance.

Summary: In this paper, we have extracted the transport critical current density (Jc) of BaZrO3 added YBa2Cu3O7-delta by using several low electric field criteria. The temperature dependence of Jc and JcG is strongly affected by the choice of electric field criteria, especially at lower temperatures. We have also studied how different criteria may change the extraction of associated coefficients and found that the extrapolated Jc and JcG are highly sensitive to the criteria used.

Summary: In this study, the growth characteristics and surface growth process of diamond crystals were further investigated by controlling the impurity content. The results showed that the spontaneous nucleation rate, growth characteristics, and impurity concentration of diamond crystals were significantly affected by the introduction of impurities. The presence of impurities blocked the mutual diffusion between the metal solvent and carbon source, resulting in a decrease in the growth rate of diamond crystals and hindering the surface processes of diamond growth.

Summary: This paper presents an open-source software package called TRAVOLTA for massively parallelized quantum optimal control calculations on GPUs. The TRAVOLTA package is an improvement on the previous NIC-CAGE algorithm and incorporates algorithmic improvements for faster convergence. Three different variants of GPU parallelization are examined to evaluate their performance in constructing optimal control fields in various quantum systems. The benchmarks show that the GPU-enhanced TRAVOLTA code produces the same results as previous CPU-based algorithms but with a speedup of more than ten times. The GPU enhancements and algorithmic improvements allow large quantum optimal control calculations to be efficiently executed on modern multi-core computational hardware.

Summary: This study investigates the nonlinear dynamic behavior of bidirectional functionally graded plates (BFG) and unidirectional functionally graded plates (UFG). Two different methods, namely the whole domain method and the finite element method, are used to formulate the dynamic problem. The results show that all three plates exhibit hardening type nonlinearity, with the effect of material gradation parameters being more pronounced in simply supported plates.

Summary: This work proposes a high order conservative semi-Lagrangian method for the inhomogeneous Boltzmann equation of rarefied gas dynamics. The method combines a semi-Lagrangian scheme for the convection term, a fast spectral method for computation of the collision operator, and a high order conservative reconstruction and a weighted optimization technique to preserve conservative quantities. Numerical tests demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.

Summary: We develop fast and scalable methods, called RONS, for computing reduced-order nonlinear solutions. These methods have been proven to be highly effective in tackling challenging problems, but become computationally prohibitive as the number of parameters grows. To address this issue, three separate methods are proposed and their efficacy is demonstrated through examples. The application of RONS to neural networks is also discussed.
