Programmable spin–orbit-torque logic device with integrated bipolar bias field for chirality control by Lim, Gerard Joseph, Chua Daniel, Gan Weiliang, Murapaka Chandrasekhar, Lew Wen Siang

“…While several field-free spin–orbit torque (SOT)-driven logic devices have been proposed, their operation typically requires additional initialization or reset pulses, the exchange-coupled canted spins reduce both anomalous Hall sign-to-noise ratio as well as thermal stability of the ferromagnetic layer, and device-to-device variation in exchange coupling strength is expected. …”

Janus particle preparation through UV-induced partial photodegradation of spin-coated particle films by Tan, Jasmine Si Jia, Wong, Chong Hui, Chen, Zhong

“…Photocatalytic titanium dioxide particles prefunctionalized with a surface coating were assembled as particle films via spin-coating on a substrate. The particle films were placed directly under an ultraviolet light source, which induced the photodegradation of the surface coating only on the particle surfaces exposed to the light. …”

Experimental observation of optical Weyl points and Fermi arc-like surface states by Chong, Yi Dong, Chen, Kevin P., Rechtsman, Mikael C., Noh, Jiho, Huang, Sheng, Leykam, Daniel

“…We use a 3D structure consisting of laser-written waveguides, and show the presence of type-II Weyl points by observing conical diffraction along one axis when the frequency is tuned to the Weyl point; and observing the associated Fermi arc-like surface states. The realization of Weyl points at optical frequencies allows these novel electromagnetic modes to be further explored in the context of linear, nonlinear, and quantum optics.…”
