Smart fiber with overprinted patterns to function as chip-like multi-threshold logic switch circuit by Xiaofei Wei, Rui Li, Siwei Xiang, Long Qin, Xinxin Luo, Jie Xue, Xing Fan

“…Herein, we present a smart fiber with multilayers of overprinted patterns, composed of many small units with 0.3 mm long to function as a one-dimension (1D) array of chip-like multi-threshold logic-switch circuit. Via soft contact of curved surfaces between fiber and ink-droplet, an overprinting method is developed for stacking different layers of patterns with a line width of 75 μm in a staggered way, enabling batch production of circuit units along one long fiber. …”

Exploring swift heavy ion-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and tunnel magnetoresistance in CoFe2O4/MgO/ZnFe2O4 multilayers: X-ray magnetic circular dichroism study by Ritika Charak, Sanjeev Gautam, Shaffy Garg, Pardeep K. Thakur, Navdeep Goyal, Younghak Kim, Keun Hwa Chae

“…Specifically, we investigate the relationship among spin-orbital magnetic moments, PMA, and TMR in pristine and Ag-irradiated (200 MeV) thin films of CoFe2O4 (40 nm)/MgO (20 nm)/ZnFe2O4 (40 nm). Angle-dependent soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), together with element-specific hysteresis loops at the Fe L-edge, reveals that both the pristine and swift heavy ion (SHI)-multilayer stacks display magnetic anisotropy, characterized by a decreased XMCD intensity from out-of-plane (perpendicular) to in-plane (parallel) geometry. …”

Episodic thrusting and sequence-sedimentary responses and their petroleum geological significance in Kuqa foreland basin, NW China by Haijun YANG, Suyun HU, Xianzhang YANG, Mingyi HU, Huiwen XIE, Liang ZHANG, Ling LI, Lu ZHOU, Guowei ZHANG, Haoyu LUO, Qingjie DENG

“…The development stage of thick, coarse-grained sandy conglomerate reservoirs aligns with the strong to weakened thrust activities, while the source rock formation period coincides with the relaxation to inactivity stages. (3) Controlled by the intensity and stages of episodic thrust activity, the nearly EW trending thrust fault significantly thickened the footwall source rock during the Huangshanjie Formation, becoming the development center of Triassic source rock, and experienced multiple overthrust nappes in the soft stratum of the source rock, showing “stacked style” distribution. (4) The deep layers of the Kuqa foreland basin have the foundation and conditions necessary for the formation of substantial gas reservoirs, capable of forming various types of reservoirs such as self-generating and self-storing lithology, lower generating and upper storing fault block-lithology, and stratigraphic unconformity. …”
