Topological electronic structure and transport properties of the distorted rutile-type WO2 by Yuto Muramatsu, Daigorou Hirai, Mitsuaki Kawamura, Susumu Minami, Yoshitaka Ikeda, Takahiro Shimada, Keita Kojima, Naoyuki Katayama, Koshi Takenaka

“…Electrical resistivity and Hall effect measurements of high-quality single crystals revealed the transport property characteristics of topological materials; these characteristics included an extremely large magnetoresistance of 13 200% (2 K and 9 T) and a very high carrier mobility of 25 700 cm2 V−1 s−1 (5 K). First-principles calculations revealed Dirac nodal lines (DNLs) near the Fermi energy in the electronic structure when spin–orbit interactions (SOIs) were absent. …”

Effects of a Nonuniform Tip Clearance Profile on the Performance and Flow Field in a Centrifugal Compressor by Yohan Jung, Minsuk Choi, Seonghwan Oh, Jehyun Baek

“…Although the performance improved for low tip clearances, a low tip clearance at the trailing edge improved the compressor performance more significantly than a low tip clearance at the leading edge. The flow field calculated for a system characterized by a low tip clearance at the trailing edge produced a more uniform velocity distribution both in the circumferential and in the axial directions at the impeller exit because the wake magnitude was reduced. …”

Investigating Some Diatomic Molecules Bounded by the Two-Dimensional Isotropic Oscillator plus Inverse Quadratic Potential in an External Magnetic Field by O. J. Oluwadare, E. O. Ilesanmi, T. O. Abiola, O. Olubosede, E. A. Odo, S. O. Ajibade, K. J. Oyewumi

“…Using the spectroscopic data, the low rotational and low vibrational energy spectra, expectation values, and diamagnetic susceptibility X for a set of diatomic molecules (I2, H2, CO, and HCl) for arbitrary values, Larmor frequencies are calculated. The computed energy spectra, expectation values, and diamagnetic susceptibility X were found to be more influenced by the external magnetic field strength and inverse quadratic potential strength g than the vibrational frequencies and the masses of the selected molecules.…”

Verifying the resonance schemes of unstable particles at lepton colliders by Shao-Feng Ge, Ui Min, Zhuoni Qian

“…Although the Breit-Wigner and theoretical schemes work equally well, the scheme conversion requires the decay width ΓZ to scale inversely with mZ rather than the usual linear dependence from theoretical calculation. These contradicting behaviors can be used to distinguish the Breit-Wigner and theoretical schemes by the precision Z measurements with single parameter (mZ) fit at future lepton colliders. …”
