Topological insulators (TIs) are a new type of electronic materials in which the nontrivial insulating bulk band topology governs conducting boundary states with embedded spin-momentum locking. Such edge states are more robust in a two-dimensional (2D) TI against scattering by nonmagnetic impurities than in its three-dimensional (3D) variant, because in 2D the two helical edge states are protected from the only possible backscattering. This makes the 2D TI family a better candidate for coherent spin transport and related applications. While several 3D TIs are already synthesized experimentally, physical realization of 2D TI is so far limited to hybrid quantum wells with a tiny bandgap that does not survive temperatures above 10 K. Here, combining first-principles calculations and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) experimental studies, we report nontrivial 2D TI phases in 2-monolayer (2-ML) and 4-ML Bi(110) films with large and tunable bandgaps determined by atomic buckling of Bi(110) films. The gapless edge states are experimentally detected within the insulating bulk gap at 77 K. The band topology of ultrathin Bi(110) films is sensitive to atomic buckling. Such buckling is sensitive to charge doping and could be controlled by choosing different substrates on which Bi(110) films are grown.
Economic value of reverse logistics is increasingly concerned in recent years. Reverse logistics of EOL (End-of-life) is alsoconcerned. According to analysis of present situation of implement in reverse logistics, the paper presents multi-game model of reverse logistics among Third-party logistics (3PL), manufacturing enterprise, government, and customer. The first phase is the multi-game mode among manufacturing enterprise, government, consumers, the second phase is "principal -agent" model between manufacturers and 3PL. the paper classifies products by recycling value and environment pollution, and analyzes game process of different kinds of products. The paper conducts strategy of participation in reverse logistics, and choice of logistics mode for manufacturing enterprise.By application example of salvage computer, the result shows the effectivity and feasibility of the game model of reverse logistics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
