Fluctuation-induced antiparallel spin polarization near the boundaries of chiral metals

The spin response of chiral conductors to nonequilibrium electrical fluctuations remains largely unexplored. We develop a low-frequency semiclassical Boltzmann theory coupled to Gauss's law for a chiral metal with spin-orbit coupling of hedgehog type, treating impurity scattering beyond the conventional relaxation-time approximation. We first determine the quadratic response to a local ac current and its frequency dependence, and then show that zero-mean stationary current fluctuation and electric-field fluctuation near boundaries generate finite time-averaged spin polarizations in the two boundary regions of the chiral metal. The polarizations are normal to the boundaries and antiparallel: for one chirality they point inward at both boundaries, and for the other they point outward. Within this model, the dominant contribution arises from the linear Edelstein effect driven by a quadratic effective electric field localized near each boundary. This picture may provide a qualitative explanation for CISS-related spin polarization reported in the absence of an applied bias. More broadly, we expect other externally maintained stochastic drives to induce spin polarization through the same mechanism.

A Machine Learning-based Non-precipitating Clouds Estimation for THz Dual-Frequency Radar

Accurate measurement of non-precipitable clouds is important for early prediction of heavy rainfall disasters caused by extreme weather events. However, microwave cloud radar cannot observe the early stages of cloud development from non-precipitation clouds (cumulus) to cumulonimbus. In this paper, we propose a terahertz dual-frequency cloud radar using 150 GHz and 95 GHz bands to detect cloud particles in cumulus smaller than 10 μm. Using a dataset generated by the ITU-R radio propagation model, we estimate the liquid water content of non-precipitation clouds and water vapor content in atmospheric gases, respectively, by using a machine learning-based approach. The effectiveness of using the dual wavelength ratio as an explanatory variable is examined.

Experimental Verification on LoS-MIMO Transmission in 300-GHz Band

In this study, we conducted Line-of-Sight (LoS) 2x2 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequencydivision multiplexing (OFDM) transmission experiments in the 300-GHz band to investigate the potential for channel capacity enhancement. A circularly polarized patch antenna, supporting both crossand co-polarization, and a 2x2 MIMO transceiver equipped with a Pre-Correction scheme were developed. Experimental evaluation was carried out under conditions of a stream spacing of 0.3 m and a transmission distance of 1.9 m. As a result, in both coand cross-polarized antenna configurations, the off-diagonal components were suppressed below -20 dB, and 2-stream transmission with 16-QAM modulation achieved a throughput of 13.1 Gbit/s and a spectral efficiency of 6.55 bit/s/Hz. Furthermore, future research directions toward advanced spatial multiplexing based on channel correlation analysis are discussed. These results demonstrate the feasibility of highcapacity fixed wireless links and provide practical design insights for long-distance transmission.

Chirality-dependent spin polarization in metals: linear and quadratic responses

We study spin polarization induced by locally injected electric currents in a metal whose spin--orbit coupling reflects its structural chirality. We reveal both spin polarization in the bulk in the linear response and antiparallel spin polarization near the interface in the quadratic response to external electric currents, and reproduce the experimentally observed correlation between the chirality of the metal and the direction of spin polarization. In particular, we elucidate that the sign of the spin polarization in the quadratic response is opposite to that expected from the bulk spin current. This sign discrepancy originates from spin polarization induced by dipole-like charge distribution appearing in the quadratic response.

A sturdy spin-momentum locking in a chiral organic superconductor

Among noncentrosymmetric structures, chirality has recently been recognized as a novel source of asymmetrical charge/spin transports as exemplified by electrical magnetochiral anisotropy (EMChA) and chirality-induced spin selectivity. Although similar bulk-charge rectification and Rashba-Edelstein effect in polar systems are quantitively reproducible by theory based on the electronic band structures, the relevance of band parameters in chiral effects remains elusive. Here, by working with a chiral organic superconductor, we experimentally demonstrate a gigantic EMChA and large superconducting diode effect, both of which are difficult to be explained solely by its band parameters. A two-critical-current signature and an enhanced critical field suggested triplet-mixed Cooper pairs with anomalously enhanced spin-orbit coupling above atomic limit. Our results clearly highlight a unique spin-momentum locking with large stiffness beyond the expectation, suggesting an unknown driving force for spin polarization inherent to chirality.

Spin-charge coupling and decoupling in perovskite-type iron oxides (Sr$_{1-x}$Ba$_x$)$_{2/3}$La$_{1/3}$FeO$_3$

The perovskite-type iron oxide Sr$_{2/3}$La$_{1/3}$FeO$_3$ is known to show characteristic spin-charge ordering (SCO), where sixfold collinear spin ordering and threefold charge ordering are coupled with each other. Here, we report the discovery of a spin-charge decoupling and an antiferromagnetic (AFM) state competing with the SCO phase in perovskites (Sr$_{1-x}$Ba$_x$)$_{2/3}$La$_{1/3}$FeO$_3$. By comprehensive measurements including neutron diffraction, M$ö$ssbauer spectroscopy, and x-ray absorption spectroscopy, we found that the isovalent Ba$^{2+}$ substitution systematically reduces the critical temperature of the SCO phase and additionally yields the spin-charge decoupling in $x$ > 0.75. Whereas the ground state remains in the SCO phase in the whole $x$ region, an unexpected G-type AFM phase with incoherent charge ordering or charge fluctuation appears as the high-temperature phase in the range of $x$ > 0.75. Reflecting the competing nature between them, the G-type AFM phase partially exists as a metastable state in the SCO phase at low temperatures. We discuss the origin of the spin-charge decoupling and the emergence of the G-type AFM phase with charge fluctuation in terms of the bandwidth reduction by the Ba substitution.

Observation of classical to quantum crossover in electron glass

Glass, a ubiquitous state of matter like a frozen liquid, is a seminal issue across fundamental and applied sciences and has long been investigated in the framework of classical mechanics. A challenge in glass physics is the exploration of the quantum-mechanical behaviour of glass. Experimentally, however, the real quantum manifestation of glass and the relationship between classical and quantum glass are totally unknown and remain to be observed in real systems. Here, we report the direct observation of classical-to-quantum evolution in the frustration-induced charge glass state exhibited by interacting electrons in organic materials. We employ Raman spectroscopy to capture a snapshot of the charge density distribution of each molecule in a series of charge glasses formed on triangular lattices with different geometrical frustrations. In less frustrated glass, the charge density profile exhibits a particle-like two-valued distribution; however, it becomes continuous and narrowed with increasing frustration, demonstrating the classical-to-quantum crossover. Moreover, the charge density distribution shows contrasting temperature evolution in classical and quantum glasses, enabling us to delineate energy landscapes with distinct features. The present result is the first to experimentally identify the quantum charge glass and show how it emerges from classical glass.

Design and Implementation of 5G eHealth Systems, Technologies, Use Cases and Future Challenges

Fifth generation (5G) aims to connect massive devices with even higher reliability, lower latency and even faster transmission speed, which are vital for implementing the e-health systems. However, the current efforts on 5G e-health systems are still not enough to accomplish its full blueprint. In this article, we first discuss the related technologies from physical layer, upper layer and cross layer perspectives on designing the 5G e-health systems. We afterwards elaborate two use cases according to our implementations, i.e., 5G e-health systems for remote health and 5G e-health systems for Covid-19 pandemic containment. We finally envision the future research trends and challenges of 5G e-health systems.

Secure Artificial Intelligence of Things for Implicit Group Recommendations

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) has provided novel insights for many social computing applications such as group recommender systems. As distance among people has been greatly shortened, it has been a more general demand to provide personalized services to groups instead of individuals. In order to capture group-level preference features from individuals, existing methods were mostly established via aggregation and face two aspects of challenges: secure data management workflow is absent, and implicit preference feedbacks is ignored. To tackle current difficulties, this paper proposes secure Artificial Intelligence of Things for implicit Group Recommendations (SAIoT-GR). As for hardware module, a secure IoT structure is developed as the bottom support platform. As for software module, collaborative Bayesian network model and non-cooperative game are can be introduced as algorithms. Such a secure AIoT architecture is able to maximize the advantages of the two modules. In addition, a large number of experiments are carried out to evaluate the performance of the SAIoT-GR in terms of efficiency and robustness.

Slow steady flow of a skyrmion lattice in a confined geometry probed by resistance narrow-band noise

Using resistance fluctuation spectroscopy, we observe current-induced narrow-band noise (NBN) in the magnetic skyrmion-lattice phase of micrometer-sized MnSi. The NBN appears only when electric-current density exceeds a threshold value, indicating that the current-driven motion of the skyrmion lattice triggers the NBN. The observed NBN frequency is 10-10$^4$ Hz at $\sim$10$^{9}$ A/m$^{2}$, implying a skyrmion steady flow velocity of 1-100 $μ$m/s, 3-5 orders of magnitude slower than previously reported. The temperature evolution of the NBN frequency suggests that the steady flow entails thermally activated processes, which are most likely due to skyrmion creation and annihilation at the sample edges. This scenario is qualitatively supported by our numerical simulations considering boundary effects, which reveals that the edges limit the steady flow of skyrmions, especially at low temperatures. We discuss a mechanism that dramatically slows the skyrmion steady flow in a microfabricated specimen.

Anomalous 2D-confined electronic transport in layered organic charge-glass systems

To get insight into the nature of the electronic fluid in the frustration-driven charge glasses, we investigate in-plane and out-of-plane charge transport for several quasi-triangular-lattice organic systems, $θ$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$X [X=RbZn(SCN)$_4$, CsZn(SCN)$_4$ and I$_3$]. These compounds host a charge order, charge glass and Fermi liquid, depending on the strength of charge frustration. We find that the resistivity exhibits extremely two-dimensional (2D) anisotropy and contrasting temperature dependence between in the in-plane and out-of-plane directions in the charge glass phase, qualitatively distinguished from the charge order and metallic states. The experimental features indicate that the frustration-induced charge glass carries an anomalous 2D-confined electronic fluid with possible charge excitations other than conventional quasiparticles.

Energy Efficient Policy for Cloud Radio Access Network

Energy Efficiency (EE) is a big issue in 5th Generation Wireless Communications (5G) on condition that the number of access User Equipments (UEs) are exploding and more antennas should be equipped in one Base Station (BS). In EE studies, prior literatures focus on the energy consumption of single separated BS coverage area or through scheduling mechanism or network coding method. But some other elements are ignored in those literatures, such as the energy consumption of machine room, circuit, etc. In this paper, to be more closer to the reality, based on the Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN), we modify its traditional structure for easier layout of sleeping mechanism in the real world, study the EE issue within a comprehensive view while taking more elements into consideration. We modified the traditional C-RAN structure with the purpose of much easily adopting the sleeping mechanism with on-off selection method. Afterwards, the EE issue is modeled into a mathematical optimizing problem and its solution is given by a tractable method. The analysis of sum capacity in one cluster of this modified structure is addressed first. Then based on the analysis, the EE issue is studied with a comprehensive view while taking more elements into consideration. In the next step, we convert it into an optimization problem and give its solution with the sleeping techniques. Comparing with prior works, this proposal is of better performance for the merit of comprehensive vision and easier layout characteristic.

An Energy Efficiency policy for Communications with C-RAN, ICN and Transition Smooth

Towards next generation communications, Energy Efficiency (EE) attracts lots of attentions nowadays. Some innovative techniques have been proposed in prior literatures, especially the sleep mechanism of base station (BS). Yet how to sleep and when to sleep are still vague concepts. Another, most of the studies focus on the cellular section or core networks separately while integral and comprehensive version is neglected in prior literatures. In this paper,the integral optimization structure is studied based on cloud radio network (C-RAN) and information centric network (ICN) that raised latest combined with the sleep mode. The original C-RAN and ICN structures are amended in terms of reality application of sleep techniques. While adopting the sleep techniques both in core and cellular, apart from previous works, a transition smooth method that solve the current surge problems which is ignored before is further proposed. Based on the new method, it will be much more feasible to adopt the sleep techniques by knowing the appropriate occasion for transition between sleep and idle mode. Comprehensive computer based simulation results demonstrate that this integer proposal achieves better EE feature with negligible impact on quality of service (QoS) of user equipments (UEs).

A Game-Theoretic Approach to Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation in Device-to-Device Underlay Communications

Despite the numerous benefits brought by Device-to-Device (D2D) communications, the introduction of D2D into cellular networks poses many new challenges in the resource allocation design due to the co-channel interference caused by spectrum reuse and limited battery life of User Equipments (UEs). Most of the previous studies mainly focus on how to maximize the Spectral Efficiency (SE) and ignore the energy consumption of UEs. In this paper, we study how to maximize each UE's Energy Efficiency (EE) in an interference-limited environment subject to its specific Quality of Service (QoS) and maximum transmission power constraints. We model the resource allocation problem as a noncooperative game, in which each player is self-interested and wants to maximize its own EE. A distributed interference-aware energy-efficient resource allocation algorithm is proposed by exploiting the properties of the nonlinear fractional programming. We prove that the optimum solution obtained by the proposed algorithm is the Nash equilibrium of the noncooperative game. We also analyze the tradeoff between EE and SE and derive closed-form expressions for EE and SE gaps.

Energy Efficiency Scheme with Cellular Partition Zooming for Massive MIMO Systems

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (Massive MIMO) has been realized as a promising technology for next generation wireless mobile communications, in which Spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) are two critical issues. Prior estimates have indicated that 57% energy of the cellular system need to be supplied by the operator, especially to feed the base station (BS). While varies scheduling studies concerned on the user equipment (UE) to reduce the total energy consumption instead of BS. Fewer literatures address EE issues from a BS perspective. In this paper, an EE scheme is proposed by reducing the energy consumption of BS. The transmission model and parameters related to EE is formulated first. Afterwards, an cellular partition zooming (CPZ) scheme is proposed where the BS can zoom in to maintain the coverage area. Specifically, if no user exists in the rare area of the coverage, BS will zoom out to sleep mode to save energy. Comprehensive simulation results demonstrate that CPZ has better EE performance with negligible impact on transmission rate.

Distributed Interference-Aware Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation for Device-to-Device Communications Underlaying Cellular Networks

The introduction of device-to-device (D2D) into cellular networks poses many new challenges in the resource allocation design due to the co-channel interference caused by spectrum reuse and limited battery life of user equipments (UEs). In this paper, we propose a distributed interference-aware energy-efficient resource allocation algorithm to maximize each UE's energy efficiency (EE) subject to its specific quality of service (QoS) and maximum transmission power constraints. We model the resource allocation problem as a noncooperative game, in which each player is self-interested and wants to maximize its own EE. The formulated EE maximization problem is a non-convex problem and is transformed into a convex optimization problem by exploiting the properties of the nonlinear fractional programming. An iterative optimization algorithm is proposed and verified through computer simulations.

Energy Efficiency and Spectral Efficiency Tradeoff in Device-to-Device (D2D) Communications

In this letter, we investigate the tradeoff between energy efficiency (EE) and spectral efficiency (SE) in device-to-device (D2D) communications underlaying cellular networks with uplink channel reuse. The resource allocation problem is modeled as a noncooperative game, in which each user equipment (UE) is self-interested and wants to maximize its own EE. Given the SE requirement and maximum transmission power constraints, a distributed energy-efficient resource allocation algorithm is proposed by exploiting the properties of the nonlinear fractional programming. The relationships between the EE and SE tradeoff of the proposed algorithm and system parameters are analyzed and verified through computer simulations.
