Topography-incorporated adjoint-state surface wave Traveltime tomography: method and a case study in Hawaii by Hao, Shijie, Chen, Jing, Xu, Mijian, Tong, Ping

“…Our results reveal features that are consistent with geological structures and previous tomography results, including high velocities below Mauna Loa Volcano and Kilauea Volcano, and low velocities beneath the Hilina Fault Zone. Additionally, our model reveals a high-velocity anomaly to the South of Hualalai's summit, which may be related to a buried rift zone. …”

Effective control of polarity in Bi0.9La0.1FeO3 thin films by dopant-related internal bias by Wang, Yang, Chen, Weigang, Chen, Zuhuang, Rami, Naidu Chukka, Wang, Junling, Wang, John, Chen, Lang

“…On the basis of the conductivity and XPS as well as leakage current measurements, Ei in BLFMn is attributed to an asymmetric distribution of charged defects, while the elevated Fermi level and broadened positively charged depletion zone are supposed to induce Ei in BLFTi. The different physical origins of Ei are intimately connected with the nature of aliovalent acceptor and donor dopants of Mn and Ti ions, which is further verified by the consistent voltage offsets in the piezoelectric hysteresis loops. …”
