Casimir radiation with Weyl semimetals

When Casimir friction torque acts upon a rotated nanoparticle (NP), mechanical energy can be transformed into thermal energy, known as Casimir radiation, which significantly affects the thermal performance of nanoelectromechanical systems. In this work, we investigate Casimir radiation with nonreciprocal Weyl semimetals (WSM) NP levitated on a plate. WSM NP with inherent nonreciprocity has a radiative heat flux 27 times higher than NP with degenerate modes. The underlying physics is elucidated by the coupling and decoupling of the electromagnetic local density of states between nonreciprocal WSN NP and the plate in the near-field. The three-fold localized plasmon modes of WSM NP split into localized circular modes with strong gyrotropic response, which opens up new channels for Casimir radiation. This work provides a new method for nanoscale energy conversion in NP systems.

Data Envelopment Analysis with Robust and Closest Targets:Integrating Full-Dimensional Efficient Facets for Risk-Resilient Benchmarking

As the external environment become increasingly volatile and unpredictable, the selection of benchmarking targets in data envelopment analysis should account for their ability to consider risks; however, this aspect has not received sufficient attention. We propose a robust benchmarking target defined by the intersection of the maximum number of full-dimensional efficient facets, each representing a unique marginal substitution relationship. These targets can serve as robust projections for decision making units that are lacking prior risk information because they incorporate the maximum number of marginal substitution relationships. This enables decision makers to adjust their production through these relationships, thereby maximizing the likelihood of achieving globally optimal outcomes. Furthermore, we propose a novel, well-defined efficiency measure based on robust and closest targets. Finally, we demonstrate the application of the proposed measure using a dataset comprising 38 universities from China's 985 Project.

Near-field radiative heat transfer between graphene-covered Weyl semimetals

Polariton manipulations introduce novel approaches to modulate the near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT). Our theoretical investigation in this study centers on NFRHT in graphene-covered Weyl semimetals (WSMs). Our findings indicate variable heat flux enhancement or attenuation, contingent on chemical potential of graphene. Enhancement or attenuation mechanisms stem from the coupling or decoupling of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in the graphene/WSM heterostructure. The graphene-covered WSM photon tunneling probabilities variation is demonstrated in detail. This research enhances our comprehension of SPPs within the graphene/WSM heterostructure and suggests methods for actively controlling NFRHT.
