Chiral quantum heating and cooling with an optically controlled ion
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Exploring quantum heat engines is vital for designing highly efficient power systems beyond classical limits and for understanding quantum thermodynamics. Scientists demonstrate the first implementation of chiral thermodynamic cycles and quantum state transfers in a trapped ion by dynamically encircling a closed loop excluding Liouvillian exceptional points.

Patterned Doping for Constructing 2D Lateral p-n junction via Ion Implantation
Chinese Academy of Sciences

For the practical application of 2D semiconductors, it is crucial to construct high-quality p-n junctions. Scientist in China developed a low-energy ion implantation system for constructing 2D lateral p-n homojunction. The conductivity type of WS2 was successfully realized to transform from n-type conduction to p-type conduction, and the universality of this method was demonstrated.
