Magnetotransport property of oxygen-annealed Fe1+y Te thin films

Fe-based superconductors are one of the current research focuses. FeTe is unique in the series of FeSe1−x Te x , since it is nonsuperconducting near the FeTe side in the phase diagram in contrast to the presence of superconductivity in other region. However, FeTe thin films become superconducting after oxygen annealing and the mechanism remains elusive. Here, we report the temperature dependences of resistivity, Hall effect and magnetoresistance (MR) of a series of FeTe thin films with different amounts of excess Fe and oxygen. These properties show dramatic changes with excess Fe and oxygen incorporation. We found the Hall coefficients are positive for the oxygen-annealed samples, in contrast to the transition from positive to negative below 50 K for the vacuum-annealed samples. For all samples, both the resistivity and Hall coefficient show a dramatic drop, respectively, at around 50 K–75 K, implying coexistence of superconductivity and antiferromagnetic order for the oxygen-annealed samples. The vacuum-annealed samples show both positive and negative values of MR depending on temperature, while negative MR dominates for the oxygen-annealed samples. We also found that oxygen annealing reduces the excess Fe in FeTe, which has been neglected before. The results are discussed in terms of several contributions, and a comparison is made between the oxygen-annealed FeTe thin films and FeSe1−x Te x . This work is helpful for shedding light on the understanding of oxygen-annealed FeTe thin films.

Research on Copyright Protection of Film and TV Series in the Era of Short Video Deluge in China

Film and television works refer to audio files with or without words and video files that can be recorded, which also enjoy copyright. In this era of short video fast food, movies and TV series have become the benchmark in the cultural field with their mature scripts, careful shooting and large investment of funds and personnel. The copyright protection of movies and TV series is the foundation for the long-term development of China’s film and television industry, and has a great impact on the development of China’s cultural industry. With film and television dramas becoming increasingly popular subjects for short-form video creation on the Internet, short-form video users and film and television drama creators have formed a fierce collision of rights. However, in practice, the copyright protection of film and television series is faced with such problems as high creation costs and low transport costs, high difficulty and high cost for platforms to identify infringing videos, and no clear standards for judicial identification of infringement issues. Therefore, based on the concept of the haven principle and the principle of proportion, this paper uses the method of empirical research to analyze the current situation of film and television play copyright protection in our country by combining the Copyright Law and the short video infringement case of the popular the film “Nagatsuko”. Specifically, this includes legislation to clarify the limits and scope of judicial determination, refine the legal responsibilities of the three main parties, establish a legal risk prevention and control mechanism, and establish a benefit sharing mechanism between creators and short video users, thus promoting coordinated coexistence and win-win cooperation between users of short online videos and creators of TV dramas.

A Night at the Neurocinema: Evaluating the Educational Impact of a Neurology-Centric Film Series on a Medical Student Cohort (P3-2.002)

<h3>Objective:</h3> This study evaluated impact of a monthly “Neurology Movie Night” film program on student knowledge and interest in neurological disorders. <h3>Background:</h3> Neurophobia is the fear of neurology reported among medical students who find it complex and intimidating. The high incidence of neurophobia warrants research into novel methods of neurological education especially in stress-free and informal settings. The term “Neurocinema” has been used to described the portrayal of neurological disorders in movies; its educational value for medical students has not yet been significantly investigated. <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> This was an IRB approved, single-center prospective cohort study inviting voluntary participation of medical students across all years of training. Once per month, participants were asked to virtually view a select movie portraying neurological disease(s). Viewers completed an anonymous survey assessing their perceived knowledge and interest in the subject. Quantitative variables were reported in percentage with change in student perception being assessed on Likert scale. <h3>Results:</h3> Total 17 unique responses were collected. 12/17 (70%) students were in pre-clinical years. 8/17 (47%) students reported an increase in interest and 9/17 (53%) reported increase in perceived knowledge pertaining to the specific disorder after watching the movie. There was no decline in interest or knowledge reported. Majority of students (15/17) had at least some baseline interest in neurology, but about 23% reported an increase in level of interest after completion of activity. 29% of respondents reported additional self-directed reading on topics portrayed in the movies. <h3>Conclusions:</h3> Neurocinema can be a strategy to combat neurophobia and increase medical student engagement in neurology. Based on our results, groups most responsive include students who have a baseline interest in neurology, and those who are in their pre-clinical years. Therefore, an activity such as “Neurology Movie Night” can be a tool to further increase student interest in neurology via local Student Interest Group in Neurology (SIGN) chapters. <b>Disclosure:</b> Mr. Schmitt has nothing to disclose.

Evidence of Strong Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya Interaction at the Cobalt/Hexagonal Boron Nitride Interface

The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) were measured on four series of Co films (1-2.2 nm thick) grown on Pt or Au and covered with h-BN or Cu. Clean h-BN/Co interfaces were obtained by exfoliating h-BN and transferring it onto the Co film in situ in the ultra-high-vacuum evaporation chamber. By comparing h-BN and Cu-covered samples, the DMI induced by the Co/h-BN interface was extracted and found to be comparable in strength to that of the Pt/Co interface, one of the largest known values. The strong observed DMI despite the weak spin-orbit interaction in h-BN supports a Rashba-like origin in agreement with recent theoretical results. Upon combination of it with Pt/Co in Pt/Co/h-BN heterostructures, even stronger PMA and DMI are found which stabilizes skyrmions at room temperature and a low magnetic field.

Particles and film preparation of ester-free type poly(trimethylene carbonate) derivatives bearing aromatic groups initiated with hydrophilic initiators

As our previous reports of facile synthetic ester-free type trimethylene carbonate-aromatic derivatives, we were herein prepared a series of particles and thin films of poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) bearing diphenyl-, bis-phenyl, and trityl pendants. The hydrophilic groups were featured at chain end while the side chain was introduced several hydrophobic aromatic groups as well as typical ester-free PTMC. Approaching the particle formation, oligo ethylene glycol was selected as hydrophilic initiator due to the high mobility, and biocompatibility. The synthetic PTMC particles were fabricated via self-organized precipitation method, its structural properties, morphologies, and surface behaviors were systematically explored. To examine the impact of structure, we investigated the degradation study of PTMC-trityl film coating which was enabled to convey a deceleration in enzymatic system.

Structural and photoluminescence properties of Co-Sputtered p-type Zn-doped β-Ga2O3 thin films on sapphire substrates

This work discusses the growth characteristics, composition, and photoluminescence properties of Zn-doped Ga2O3 (ZnGaO) films. The idea of doping of Zn divalent cation in β-Ga2O3 is to modulate the n-type conductivity of β-Ga2O3 to p-type. Therefore, a series of ZnGaO films with varying Zn contents have been deposited on sapphire substrates using co-sputtering of Ga2O3 and Zn targets at the substrate temperature of 400 °C. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that divalent Zn dopant is stable up to 8.62% in ZnGaO films. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy defined the increasing amount of Zn content in ZnGaO films. The lowest defect formation energy per atom by first-principles calculations indicates that the favourable site of Zn atoms is substitutional Ga tetrahedral site (T-site) in ZnGaO. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra exhibited that the peak emission wavelength of β-Ga2O3 can be shifted with the inclusion of divalent Zn dopant in Ga2O3 films, which is in accordance with the energy diagram and charge density distribution, indicating the Zn substituted T-site Ga are leading to more defect states, and inducing green luminescence in PL spectra. The ZnGaO films exhibited positive Hall coefficient, which verifies the p-type nature of films. ZnGaO films demonstrate a unique ability to realize p-type characteristics among emerging wide bandgap semiconductors, extending its applications at the forefront of contemporary optoelectronics technologies.

Topographies of Exclusion: Refugees, Windrush, and the Politics of Space in Recent British Film

Through an analysis of recent film and moving image work documenting the Hostile Environment, this essay challenges the distinction often drawn between postcolonial migrants and refugees, arguing that Britain's punitive immigration and asylum policy broadens what it means to be made stateless. With particular reference to the Windrush docudrama Sitting in Limbo (2020) and Remi Weekes' asylum horror His House (2020), this essay explores how a series of recent documentaries, docudramas and fiction films have successfully spatialised the hostile environment; that is, how they have exposed the topography of exclusion and containment that determines migrant subjectivities in contemporary Britain. By setting the Windrush Scandal in the larger context of migrant representation, the aim is to expose the continuities between migrant groups in their historical relationship to the nation state. The representational politics of space in recent film work offers a keen insight into these entangled histories.

Racism Issues Delivered in Lupin Film Series (2021)

This study discusses the issue of racism in the Lupine film series on Netflix. Lupine is a two-season series that tells the story of a shrewd thief. This story is based on a famous white people novel in France. However, the director changed the lead character in this series by using black actors. The series was popular on Netflix due to the story and how the director brought a black man as the lead character in a high-level racist country. The main point that tries to be explained in this research is how the issue of racism is distributed through an action film series. The director wants to frame racism in France. This study is a qualitative interpretive study. The data source for this study is a film series titled Lupine, which aired on Netflix in 2021. The data collection method uses documentation studies of the selected sequence. Researchers determined 14 scenes and analyzed the scenes using Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic model with Peirce's Trichotomy: sign, object, and interpretant. This study indicates an issue of racism that the director wants to represent through scenes showing racist behavior experienced by black people in France. All settings are categorized into indicators of racism which consist of stereotypes based on race, racial discrimination, and racial violence.

A well-oiled engine: Towards a critical petro-aesthetics of Singapore

While Singapore is not an oil-producing nation, it occupies an important role as one of the largest refinery hubs and the world’s busiest bunkering port for tankers and container ships. However, existing scholarship on petroculture has largely bypassed Singapore in its focus on direct representations of oil centred on upstream producers such as the United States, Canada and countries in the Middle East. This article traces the emergence and eventual disappearance of oil in Singapore’s visual culture through two moving images made separately in the late 1950s and the early 2000s. Comparing L. Krishnan’s film Orang Minyak (), which headlined a series of local films that featured the urban legend of the orang minyak (‘oily man’), with Tan Pin Pin’s documentary video 80km/h () allows us to consider the sudden eruption and eventual disappearance of oil in Singapore’s visual culture, set against the historical developments of Singapore’s oil industry. Of interest here is an attention towards both direct and indirect representations of oil. The article ends with a formal analysis of Tan’s 80km/h, through which I argue for a critical petro-aesthetics particular to Singapore itself, in thinking through its role as an important middleman in the global supply chain of petroleum and petrochemicals.

Yingling and women imagery in contemporary Taiwanese media culture: The Tag-Along film series as an example

With the assistance of textual analysis, this article examines the images of yingling (spirits of aborted or miscarried foetuses) in The Tag-Along and The Tag-Along 2. This popular cinematic demonology searches for a Taiwanese identity through urban legends and folklore. In the films, yingling are imagined as pitiful and malevolent. The spiritual being has desires, emotions and agency. This feto-centric imagination echoes the religious discourses that frame the newly popularized abortion ritual in Taiwan. Women are depicted as determined, independent and mutually supportive. However, the essentialist sexual differences remain highlighted, meaning that they are portrayed as mothers, and their bodies are represented through polluting blood, a signifier of excessive yin that serves the patrilineal needs of reproduction. During the process of modernization, Taiwanese society experienced drastic changes, yet, the ghost, as the persistent past, continues to impact the present. Through the investigation of irrationality, the reality surrounding women and children is revisited and debated.

Coordination-Induced Symmetry Breaking on Metal-Porphyrinic Framework Thin Films for Enhanced Nonlinear Optical Limiting

Structural asymmetry affecting the nonlinear optics (NLO) of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is very important in fundamentals and applications but is still a challenge. Herein we develop a series of indium-porphyrinic framework (InTCPP) thin films and provide the first study on the coordination-induced symmetry breaking on their third-order NLO. The continuous and oriented InTCPP(H2) thin films were grown on quartz substrates and then postcoordinated with different cations (Fe2+ or Fe3+Cl-) in InTCPP(H2) (named InTCPP(Fe2+) and InTCPP(Fe3+Cl-)). The third-order NLO results reveal the Fe2+ and Fe3+Cl- coordinated InTCPP thin films have substantially enhanced NLO performance. Moreover, InTCPP(Fe3+Cl-) thin films cause symmetry breaking of microstructures, resulting in a 3-fold increase in the nonlinear absorption coefficient (up to 6.35 × 10-6 m/W) compared to InTCPP(Fe2+). This work not only develops a series of nonlinear optical MOF thin films but also provides new insight into symmetry breaking on MOFs for nonlinear optoelectronic applications.

Sustainable Dielectric Films with Ultralow Permittivity from Soluble Fluorinated Polyimide.

In the rapidly growing area of high-frequency communications, polyimide films with ultralow dielectric constant and dielectric loss, adequate insulating strength, and recyclability are in high demand. Using a synthesized soluble fluorinated polyimide, a series of recyclable porous dielectric films with varying porosities were fabricated in this study through nonsolvent-induced phase separation. By manipulating the mass ratio of the binary solvent used to dissolve the polyimide, the shape, size, and size distribution of the pores generated throughout the polyimide matrix can be accurately regulated. The porosity and average pore size of the as-prepared porous films were adjustable between 71% and 33% and between 9.31 and 1.00 μm, respectively, which resulted in a variable dielectric constant of 1.51-2.42 (100 kHz) and electrical breakdown strength of 30.3-119.7 kV/mm. The porous sPI film with a porosity rate of 48% displayed a low dielectric constant of 2.48 at 10 GHz. Coupled with their superior thermal stability, mechanical characteristics, and recyclability, these porous polyimide films are highly promising for constructing high-frequency microelectronic devices.

The Independence of Princess Images in Frozen and Princess Animated Films Series of Disney

Social gender theory is proposed to distinguish biological sex, which holds that gender is not just born but acquired through psychological, cultural, and social norms and more. Nowadays, scholars generally study the issues of communication and gender from the perspective of social gender. The Disney Frozen and Princess series of animated films has created 14 princesses with different images and styles in 80 years, from 1937 to 2017. The inner characters of the women in the films are influenced by the environment and ideology of The Times to a certain extent. Based on gender theory, nine princesses were randomly selected from 14 princesses in 13 Disney officially recognized princess films and Frozen as research objects, and the independent characteristics of princess characters were coded and analyzed by using the content analysis method to explore the main reasons for the change. The research finds that, with the development of the times, the princesses in the Disney princess animation series gradually show more independent characteristics in personalities. Moreover, the main reasons for the differences and changes in these princesses are the changes in social culture.

The Research on the Functions of Misleading on Suspense Setting -- Taking Hitchcock and the Psycho as Examples

Hitchcock is considered as one of the most crucial film directors in history, since he has directed a series of successful suspense films and created many theories about them. Therefore, doing research on his film will help deepen the cognition in suspense movies in the field of movie studies. This article aims to explore Hitchcock’s suspense setting skills in film narratology. The author takes the Psycho, which is one of Hitchcock’s representative works as an example, and uses literature reading as well as some film theories to analyze the methods in suspense setting by Hitchcock. The article can be divided into four parts. The first part is the introduction. The second part is the introduction of Hitchcock and his Psycho. The third part shows analyses on Hitchcock’s suspense setting in Psycho. The last part is about Hitchcock’s effects on the following directors. Through the four parts’ analyses, the author discovered that Hitchcock’s suspense setting has a feature to use certain sounds or paintings to mislead the audience’s conjecture to the plot. The author calls this “misleading” and finds that there are still few system theories to describe it. The author makes some analyses about the misleading in suspense setting in Psycho in this article and hopes it can help following researchers when doing further research.

Enhancement of discharge and mechanical properties of ta-C films by pulse-enhanced cathodic arc deposition

A home-made straight-duct filter cathodic vacuum arc system was used to synthesize tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films. The ta-C films were fabricated using both direct-current cathodic arc evaporation (DC-CAE) and pulse-enhanced cathodic arc evaporation. A series of films were prepared as a function of pulse current ranging from 500 to 1000 A compared with 80 A direct current. The introduction of pulse current could markedly increase instantaneous input power (Wiip). The pulse-enhanced Wiip led to the increase in average substrate current from 0.46 to 1.07 A. Moreover, compared with DC-CAE, the pulse current of 1000 A significantly increased the intensity ratios of C II/(C I + C II) and C II/Ar II by about 65% and 130%, respectively. All the results showed that the pulse-enhanced Wiip substantially improved the evaporation and ionization rate of graphite. However, due to thermal-induced graphitization conversion, the threshold pulse current was 800 A. Under this pulse current, the film exhibited the smallest ID/IG (0.26) as well as the highest sp3 fraction (64.3%). Correspondingly, the highest hardness (≈40 GPa) and the preferable toughness (H/E* of 0.12 and H3/E*2 of 0.52) were simultaneously achieved.

Upgrading Electricity Generation and Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Efficiency via Phase-Change Feedback and Simple Origami Strategy.

Developing ultimate electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials that can simultaneously upgrade the quality of generated electricity and the light-thermal-electric conversion efficiency based on traditional thermoelectric devices is crucially desired. Herein, a series of flexible multilayered phase change films (PCFs) is developed by a simple and novel origami strategy. The PCFs are first reported to improve the light-thermal-electric conversion efficiency by as high as 11.3%. Simultaneously, the PCFs could significantly upgrade the generated electricity on average voltage (27.3%), average current (23.8%), and lasting power outputs by 2010 times from microwatts to milliwatts. Besides, the EMI shielding efficiency of PCFs could be tuned from 39.2 to 71.9 dB by the origami process, the wide-range EMI shielding performance could be suitable for varying occasions. Overall, this work provides a promising solution for both the preparation of multifunctional materials, high-efficiency solar energy harvesting and upgrading electricity generation, which shows broad application prospects in EMI shielding, energy storage, and conversion.

Sign change of competing contributions to the side jump by impurity, phonon, and magnon scattering

The side jump is one important mechanism of anomalous Hall effect, which is generally believed that it does not depend on the scattering strength and disorder density. Recent theoretical calculations indicate that different types of disordered scattering contribute to side jump. The competition between them will make the magnitude of side jump sensitive to their relative disorder strength. However, the evolution of competing scattering contribution in side jump has not been experimentally observed. In this paper, a series of high-qulity FeCo films with different thickness have been grown on MgO(001) substrate. Based on multivariable scaling, the sign change of the competing contribution between different scatterings to side jump is clearly observed as increasing sample thickness. Meanwhile, we demonstrate that the contribution of magnon side jump may play an irreplaceable role in the competition. Our work provides evidence for the shift of dominated scattering in competition, and shows that competing scattering still exists and is not negligible even in conductivity region with ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{xx}\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{4}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{c}{\mathrm{m}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$, which is beneficial to further experimental and theoretical studies of side jump.
