AI-based Attack Graph Generation

With the advancement of IoT technology, many electronic devices are interconnected through networks, communicating with each other and performing specific roles. However, as numerous devices join networks, the threat of cyberattacks also escalates. Preventing and detecting cyber threats are crucial, and one method of preventing such threats involves using attack graphs. Attack graphs are widely used to assess security threats within networks. However, a drawback emerges as the network scales, as generating attack graphs becomes time-consuming. To overcome this limitation, artificial intelligence models can be employed. By utilizing AI models, attack graphs can be created within a short period, approximating optimal outcomes. AI models designed for attack graph generation consist of encoders and decoders, trained using reinforcement learning algorithms. After training the AI models, we confirmed the model's learning effectiveness by observing changes in loss and reward values. Additionally, we compared attack graphs generated by the AI model with those created through conventional methods.

Full-dry flipping transfer method for van der Waals heterostructure

We present a novel flipping transfer method for van der Waals heterostructures, offering a significant advancement over previous techniques by eliminating the need for polymers and solvents. Here, we utilize commercially available gel film and control its stickiness through oxygen plasma and UV-Ozone treatment, also effectively removing residues from the gel film surface. The cleanliness of the surface is verified through atomic force microscopy. We investigate the quality of our fabricated devices using magnetotransport measurements on graphene/hBN and graphene/α-RuCl3 heterostructures. Remarkably,graphene/hBN devices produced with the flipping method display quality similar to that of fully encapsulated devices. This is evidenced by the presence of a symmetry-broken state at 1 T. Additionally, features of the Hofstadter butterfly were also observed in the second devices. In the case of graphene/α-RuCl3, we observe quantum oscillations with a beating mode and two-channel conduction, consistent with fully encapsulated devices.

Nanomechanical Resonators: Toward Atomic Scale

The quest for realizing and manipulating ever smaller man-made movable structures and dynamical machines has spurred tremendous endeavors, led to important discoveries, and inspired researchers to venture to new grounds. Scientific feats and technological milestones of miniaturization of mechanical structures have been widely accomplished by advances in machining and sculpturing ever shrinking features out of bulk materials such as silicon. With the flourishing multidisciplinary field of low-dimensional nanomaterials, including one-dimensional (1D) nanowires/nanotubes, and two-dimensional (2D) atomic layers such as graphene/phosphorene, growing interests and sustained efforts have been devoted to creating mechanical devices toward the ultimate limit of miniaturization--genuinely down to the molecular or even atomic scale. These ultrasmall movable structures, particularly nanomechanical resonators that exploit the vibratory motion in these 1D and 2D nano-to-atomic-scale structures, offer exceptional device-level attributes, such as ultralow mass, ultrawide frequency tuning range, broad dynamic range, and ultralow power consumption, thus holding strong promises for both fundamental studies and engineering applications. In this Review, we offer a comprehensive overview and summary of this vibrant field, present the state-of-the-art devices and evaluate their specifications and performance, outline important achievements, and postulate future directions for studying these miniscule yet intriguing molecular-scale machines.

K-Hairstyle: A Large-scale Korean Hairstyle Dataset for Virtual Hair Editing and Hairstyle Classification

The hair and beauty industry is a fast-growing industry. This led to the development of various applications, such as virtual hair dyeing or hairstyle transfer, to satisfy the customer's needs. Although several hairstyle datasets are available for these applications, they often consist of a relatively small number of images with low resolution, thus limiting their performance on high-quality hair editing. In response, we introduce a novel large-scale Korean hairstyle dataset, K-hairstyle, containing 500,000 high-resolution images. In addition, K-hairstyle includes various hair attributes annotated by Korean expert hairstylists as well as hair segmentation masks. We validate the effectiveness of our dataset via several applications, such as hair dyeing, hairstyle transfer, and hairstyle classification. K-hairstyle is publicly available at https://psh01087.github.io/K-Hairstyle/.

Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics Design with Single Photon Emitters in Hexagonal Boron Nitride

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), a prevalent insulating crystal for dielectric and encapsulation layers in two-dimensional (2D) nanoelectronics and a structural material in 2D nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), has also rapidly emerged as a promising platform for quantum photonics with the recent discovery of optically active defect centers and associated spin states. Combined with measured emission characteristics, here we propose and numerically investigate the cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity-QED) scheme incorporating these defect-enabled single photon emitters (SPEs) in h-BN microdisk resonators. The whispering-gallery nature of microdisks can support multiple families of cavity resonances with different radial and azimuthal mode indices simultaneously, overcoming the challenges in coinciding a single point defect with the maximum electric field of an optical mode both spatially and spectrally. The excellent characteristics of h-BN SPEs, including exceptional emission rate, considerably high Debye-Waller factor, and Fourier transform limited linewidth at room temperature, render strong coupling with the ratio of coupling to decay rates g/max(γ,\k{appa}) predicated as high as 500. This study not only provides insight into the emitter-cavity interaction, but also contributes toward realizing h-BN photonic components, such as low-threshold microcavity lasers and high-purity single photon sources, critical for linear optics quantum computing and quantum networking applications.

Hexagonal Boron Nitride Phononic Crystal Waveguides

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), one of the hallmark van der Waals (vdW) layered crystals with an ensemble of attractive physical properties, is playing increasingly important roles in exploring two-dimensional (2D) electronics, photonics, mechanics, and emerging quantum engineering. Here, we report on the demonstration of h-BN phononic crystal waveguides with designed pass and stop bands in the radio frequency (RF) range and controllable wave propagation and transmission, by harnessing arrays of coupled h-BN nanomechanical resonators with engineerable coupling strength. Experimental measurements validate that these phononic crystal waveguides confine and support 15 to 24 megahertz (MHz) wave propagation over 1.2 millimeters. Analogous to solid-state atomic crystal lattices, phononic bandgaps and dispersive behaviors have been observed and systematically investigated in the h-BN phononic waveguides. Guiding and manipulating acoustic waves on such additively integratable h-BN platform may facilitate multiphysical coupling and information transduction, and open up new opportunities for coherent on-chip signal processing and communication via emerging h-BN photonic and phononic devices.

Ultrawide Band Gap β-Ga2O3 Nanomechanical Resonators with Spatially Visualized Multimode Motion

Beta gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) is an emerging ultrawide band gap (4.5 - 4.9 eV) semiconductor with attractive properties for future power electronics, optoelectronics, and sensors for detecting gases and ultraviolet radiation. β-Ga2O3 thin films made by various methods are being actively studied toward such devices. Here, we report on the experimental demonstration of single-crystal β-Ga2O3 nanomechanical resonators using β-Ga2O3 nanoflakes grown via low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). By investigating β-Ga2O3 circular drumhead structures, we demonstrate multimode nanoresonators up to the 6th mode in high and very high frequency (HF / VHF) bands, and also realize spatial mapping and visualization of the multimode motion. These measurements reveal a Young's modulus of E_Y = 261 GPa and anisotropic biaxial built-in tension of 37.5 MPa and 107.5 MPa. We find that thermal annealing can considerably improve the resonance characteristics, including ~40% upshift in frequency and ~90% enhancement in quality (Q) factor. This study lays a foundation for future exploration and development of mechanically coupled and tunable β-Ga2O3 electronic, optoelectronic, and physical sensing devices.

β-Ga2O3 NEMS Oscillator for Real-Time Middle Ultraviolet (MUV) Light Detection

We report on the first beta gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) crystal feedback oscillator built by employing a vibrating β-Ga2O3 nanoresonator as the frequency reference for real-time middle ultraviolet (MUV) light detection. We fabricate suspended β-Ga2O3 nanodevices through synthesis of β-Ga2O3 nanoflakes using low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), and dry transfer of nanoflakes on microtrenches. Open-loop tests reveal a resonance of the β-Ga2O3 device at ~30 MHz. A closed-loop oscillator is then realized by using a combined optical-electrical feedback circuitry, to perform real-time resonant sensing of MUV irradiation. The oscillator exposed to cyclic MUV irradiation exhibits resonant frequency downshifts, with a measured responsivity of $\mathscr{R}$ = -3.1 Hz/pW and a minimum detectable power of δPmin = 0.53 nW for MUV detection.

Atomic Layer MoS2-Graphene van der Waals Heterostructure Nanomechanical Resonators

Heterostructures play significant roles in modern semiconductor devices and micro/nanosystems in a plethora of applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and transducers. While state-of-the-art heterostructures often involve stacks of crystalline epi-layers each down to a few nanometers thick, the intriguing limit would be heterto-atomic-layer structures. Here we report the first experimental demonstration of freestanding van der Waals heterostructures and their functional nanomechanical devices. By stacking single-layer (1L) MoS2 on top of suspended single-, bi-, tri- and four-layer (1L to 4L) graphene sheets, we realize array of MoS2-graphene heterostructures with varying thickness and size. These heterostructures all exhibit robust nanomechanical resonances in the very high frequency (VHF) band (up to ~100 MHz). We observe that fundamental-mode resonance frequencies of the heterostructure devices fall between the values of graphene and MoS2 devices. Quality (Q) factors of heterostructure resonators are lower than those of graphene but comparable to those of MoS2 devices, suggesting interface damping related to interlayer interactions in the van der Waals heterostructures. This study validates suspended atomic layer heterostructures as an effective device platform and opens opportunities for exploiting mechanically coupled effects and interlayer interactions in such devices.

On the stability of the $μ(I)$-rheology for granular flow

This article deals with the Hadamard instability of the so-called $μ(I)$ model of dense rapidly-sheared granular flow, as reported recently by Barker et al. (2015,this journal, ${\bf 779}$, 794-818). The present paper presents a more comprehensive study of the linear stability of planar simple shearing and pure shearing flows, with account taken of convective Kelvin wave-vector stretching by the base flow. We provide a closed form solution for the linear stability problem and show that wave-vector stretching leads to asymptotic stabilization of the non-convective instability found by Barker et al. We also explore the stabilizing effects of higher velocity gradients achieved by an enhanced-continuum model based on a dissipative analog of the van der Waals-Cahn-Hilliard equation of equilibrium thermodynamics. This model involves a dissipative hyper-stress, as the analog of a special Korteweg stress, with surface viscosity representing the counterpart of elastic surface tension. Based on the enhanced continuum model, we also present a model of steady shear bands and their non-linear stability against parallel shearing. Finally, we propose a theoretical connection between the non-convective instability of Barker et al. and the loss of generalized ellipticity in the quasi-static field equations. Apart from the theoretical interest, the present work may suggest stratagems for the numerical simulation of continuum field equations involving the $μ(I)$ rheology and variants thereof.

Environmental Instability and Degradation of Single- and Few-Layer WTe2 Nanosheets in Ambient Conditions

Since the discovery of large, non-saturating magnetoresistance in bulk WTe2 which allows microexfoliation, single- and few-layer WTe2 crystals have attracted increasing interests. However, as it mentioned in existing studies, WTe2 flakes appear to degrade in ambient conditions. Here we report experimental observations of saturating degradation in few-layer WTe2 through Raman spectroscopy characterization and careful monitoring of the degradation of single-, bi- and tri-layer (1L, 2L & 3L) WTe2 over long time. Raman peak intensity decreases during WTe2 degradation and 1L flakes degrade faster than 2L and 3L flakes. The relatively faster degradation in 1L WTe2 could be attributed to low energy barrier of oxygen reaction with WTe2. We further investigate the degradation mechanisms of WTe2 using XPS and AES and find that oxidation of Te and W atoms is the main reason of WTe2 degradation. In addition, we observe oxidation occurs only in the depth of 0.5nm near the surface, and the oxidized WTe2 surface could help prevent inner layers from further degradation.

Single- and Few-Layer WTe2 and Their Suspended Nanostructures: Raman Signatures and Nanomechanical Resonances

Single crystal tungsten ditelluride (WTe2) has recently been discovered to exhibit non-saturating extreme magnetoresistance in bulk; it has also emerged as a new layered material from which atomic layer crystals can be extracted. While atomically thin WTe2 is attractive for its unique properties, little study has been conducted on single- and few-layer WTe2. Here we report the isolation of single- and few-layer WTe2, as well as fabrication and characterization of the first WTe2 suspended nanostructures. We have observed new Raman signatures of few-layer WTe2 that have been theoretically predicted but not yet reported to date, in both on-substrate and suspended WTe2 flakes. We have further probed the nanomechanical properties of suspended WTe2 structures by measuring their flexural resonances, and obtain a Young's modulus of E_Y~80GPa for the suspended WTe2 flakes. This study paves the way for future investigations and utilization of the multiple new Raman fingerprints of single- and few-layer WTe2, and for exploring mechanical control of WTe2 atomic layers.

Automated segmentation of the pulmonary arteries in low-dose CT by vessel tracking

We present a fully automated method for top-down segmentation of the pulmonary arterial tree in low-dose thoracic CT images. The main basal pulmonary arteries are identified near the lung hilum by searching for candidate vessels adjacent to known airways, identified by our previously reported airway segmentation method. Model cylinders are iteratively fit to the vessels to track them into the lungs. Vessel bifurcations are detected by measuring the rate of change of vessel radii, and child vessels are segmented by initiating new trackers at bifurcation points. Validation is accomplished using our novel sparse surface (SS) evaluation metric. The SS metric was designed to quantify the magnitude of the segmentation error per vessel while significantly decreasing the manual marking burden for the human user. A total of 210 arteries and 205 veins were manually marked across seven test cases. 134/210 arteries were correctly segmented, with a specificity for arteries of 90%, and average segmentation error of 0.15 mm. This fully-automated segmentation is a promising method for improving lung nodule detection in low-dose CT screening scans, by separating vessels from surrounding iso-intensity objects.

Impact of the topology of global macroeconomic network on the spreading of economic crises

Throughout economic history, the global economy has experienced recurring crises. The persistent recurrence of such economic crises calls for an understanding of their generic features rather than treating them as singular events. The global economic system is a highly complex system and can best be viewed in terms of a network of interacting macroeconomic agents. In this regard, from the perspective of collective network dynamics, here we explore how the topology of global macroeconomic network affects the patterns of spreading of economic crises. Using a simple toy model of crisis spreading, we demonstrate that an individual country's role in crisis spreading is not only dependent on its gross macroeconomic capacities, but also on its local and global connectivity profile in the context of the world economic network. We find that on one hand clustering of weak links at the regional scale can significantly aggravate the spread of crises, but on the other hand the current network structure at the global scale harbors a higher tolerance of extreme crises compared to more "globalized" random networks. These results suggest that there can be a potential hidden cost in the ongoing globalization movement towards establishing less-constrained, trans-regional economic links between countries, by increasing the vulnerability of global economic system to extreme crises.
