Spin-orbit interaction in quasi-monochromatic singular beams by Y.A. Egorov, A.F. Rubass

“…The energy efficiency changes as the Gaussian beam propagates through the anisotropic crystal. For a fundamental Gaussian beam, the energy efficiency cannot exceed 50%, and for elegant Hermite-Gaussian and Laguerre-Gaussian beams of higher orders, the energy efficiency can reach a value close to 100%. …”

Photovoltaic High-Frequency Pulse Charger for Lead-Acid Battery under Maximum Power Point Tracking by Hung-I. Hsieh, Sheng-Fang Shih, Jen-Hao Hsieh, Chi-Hao Wang

“…A photovoltaic pulse charger (PV-PC) using high-frequency pulse train for charging lead-acid battery (LAB) is proposed not only to explore the charging behavior with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) but also to delay sulfating crystallization on the electrode pores of the LAB to prolong the battery life, which is achieved due to a brief pulse break between adjacent pulses that refreshes the discharging of LAB. …”

Observation of Body‐Centered‐Cubic Cu Nanocluster with Partial Cu(0) Character by Pu Gao, Jing Du, Weijie Hong, Mingzai Wu, Yan Feng, Yanjun Ding, Manzhou Zhu

“…Herein, a Cu(0)‐containing Cu NC is first reported to contain a metallic framework of 23 Cu atoms with a body‐centered‐cubic Cu@Cu8 core, stabilized by 6 triphenylphosphine (TPP) and 18 4‐methylbenzenethiolate ligands, as determined by single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography. The observed structure stands in stark contrast to the FCC and other structures reported for Cu NCs. …”
