• Abstract summary: We study the conductance through single-layer graphene (SLG) and AA/AB-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG) junctions. For Fermi energy larger than the interlayer hopping, the conductance as a function of the bilayer region length $d$ reveals two different models of anti-resonances.

• Abstract: The conductance through single-layer graphene (SLG) and AA/AB-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG) junctions is obtained by taking into account band gap and bias voltage terms. First, we consider gapped SLG, while in between, they are connected into pristine BLG. For Fermi energy larger than the interlayer hopping, the conductance as a function of the bilayer region length $d$ reveals two different models of anti-resonances with the same period. As a function of the band gap, with AA-BLG stacking, the results show that the conductance has the same minima whatever the value of $d$, and for AB-BLG, $d$ remains relevant such that the system creates a global energy gap. Second, we consider pristine SLG, and in between, they are connected to gapped-biased BLG. We observe the appearance of peaks in the conductance profile with different periods and shapes, and also the presence of Klein tunneling with zero conductance in contrast to the first configuration. When $ d $ is less than 10, $G(E)$ vanishes and exhibits anti-Klein tunneling as a function of the Fermi energy $E$. We also investigate the conductance as a function of the bias. For AA-BLG, the results show antiresonances and diminish for a large value of the bias, independently of the bilayer region of length. In contrast, the conductance in AB-BLG has distinct characteristics in that it begins conducting with maxima for small $E$ and with minima for large $E$.

  Current approaches frame gaze location detection (GL-D) and gaze object detection (GO-D) as two separate tasks. We propose GTR, short for underlineGaze following detection underlineTRansformer, to streamline the gaze following detection pipeline. GTR achieves a 12.1 mAP gain on GazeFollowing and a 18.2 mAP gain on VideoAttentionTarget for GL-D, as well as a 19 mAP improvement on GOO-Real for GO-D.

  We experimentally study thermopower in high-quality monolayer graphene within heterostructures consisting of complete hBN encapsulation and 1D edge contacts. We show that the temperature dependence of the thermopower enables the assessment of the role of built-in strain variation and van Hove singularities. We show the same superlattice device can exhibit a temperature-driven thermopower reversal from positive to negative and vice versa, by controlling the carrier density.

• The Josephson junction as a quantum engine [44.56439370306859]
  Cooper pairs in superconducting electrodes of a Josephson junction (JJ) as an open system, coupled via Andreev scattering to external baths of electrons. Disequilibrium between the baths generates the direct-current bias applied to the JJ. We argue that this picture of the JJ as a quantum engine resolves open questions about the Josephson effect as an irreversible process and could open new perspectives in quantum thermodynamics and in the theory of dynamical systems.

  An ABC-stacked $pn$ and $p$ trilayer graphene junction (ABC-TLG) is investigated theoretically at low energy. In the presence of a high magnetic field $B=1400$T, the ABC-TLG can exhibit new Klein tunneling at two new incidence $k_y$ values. The transmission of ABC-TLG via $ pn $ and $ pnp $ junctions is transformed into a three-separate transmission of single-like graphene (SLG)

We reach the lowest temperature reported for a highly charged ion, with a residual temperature of only $Tlesssim200mathrmmu K$ in each of the two modes.
