Nuclear Stability

Nuclear Stability

Protons and neutrons, collectively called nucleons, are packed together tightly in a nucleus. With a radius of about 10−15 meters, a nucleus is quite small compared to the radius of the entire atom, which is about 10−10 meters. Nuclei are extremely dense compared to bulk matter, averaging 1.8 × 1014 grams per cubic centimeter. If the earth’s density were equal to the average nuclear density, the earth’s radius would be only about 200 meters.

Background:

Valleytronics utilizes electron properties in 2D materials.
Acoustoelectric effects involve interactions between sound and charge carriers.
Transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers on piezoelectric substrates are key systems.

Purpose of the Study:

Analysis of contributions to the acoustoelectric current (valley-independent, trigonal warping, Berry phase).
Development of an angular pattern to characterize topological properties.

Main Results:

Demonstrated a new valley acoustoelectric effect in 2D materials on piezoelectric substrates.
Identified three distinct contributions to the acoustoelectric current.
Showcased the generation of currents orthogonal to the acoustic wave vector.
Established methods for independent measurement of diffusive, warping, and acoustoelectric valley Hall currents.

Conclusions:

The valley acoustoelectric effect offers a new pathway for valley manipulation.
Acoustic methods can control valley transport, expanding valleytronics.
This research paves the way for novel acoustoelectric valleytronic devices.
