Simulation of Extended Wavelength Avalanche Photodiode with the Type-II Superlattice Absorption Layer by Wei-Lin Zhao, Wei Wang, Chen Liu, Ze-Peng Hou, Hai-Feng Ye, Run-Yu Huang, Zai-Bo Li, Jia-Xin Zhang, Xue-Yan Yang, Hong-Xia Zhu, Yan-Li Shi

“…When the thickness of the multiplication layer increased from 0.1 μm to 0.6 μm, the linear range of punchthrough voltage increased from 16 V to 48 V, and the breakdown voltage decreased at first and then increased when the multiplication layer reached the critical thickness at 0.35 μm. …”

Avalanche photodiodes with multiple multiplication layers for coherent detection by Zohauddin Ahmad, Po-Shun Wang, Naseem, Yu-Cyuan Huang, Yan-Chieh Chang, You-Chia Chang, Yi-Shan Lee, Jin-Wei Shi

“…Our triple In0.52Al0.48As based multiplication (M-) layers with a stepped electric (E-) field inside has more pronounced avalanche process with significantly less effective critical-field than the dual M-layer. Reduced E-field in active M-layers ensures stronger E-field allocation to the thick absorption-layer with a smaller breakdown voltage (Vbr) resulting in less serious space-charge screening effect, less device heating at high output photocurrent. …”

Current-driven spiral domain wall in a ferrimagnet near the magnetization compensation point by Jia-Lin Liu, Peng-Bin He, Meng-Qiu Cai

“…Near this point, the wall moves smoothly with its velocity linearly depending on the current below the Walker breakdown. Above this critical current, all the internal parameters of the wall, such as the azimuthal angle, width, and spiral pitch, as well as their rates of change, oscillate periodically. …”

Dynamical many-body delocalization transition of a Tonks gas in a quasi-periodic driving potential by Vincent Vuatelet, Adam Rançon

“…The localized phase is still described by a low effective temperature, while the delocalized phase corresponds to an infinite-temperature phase, with the temperature increasing linearly in time. At the critical point, the momentum distribution of the Tonks gas displays different scaling at small and large momenta (contrary to the non-interacting case), signaling a breakdown of the one-parameter scaling theory of localization.…”
