It is widely accepted in forecasting that a combination model can improve forecasting accuracy. One important challenge is how to select the optimal subset of individual models from all available models without having to try all possible combinations of these models. This paper proposes an...

The critical thickness for ferroelectricity and magnetoelectric effects have been investigated for the multiferroic tunnel junction with symmetric and asymmetric metallic electrodes based on density functional theory. The ferroelectric polarization of a barrier is still retained down to 2 unit...

The Nambu spinor Green’s function approach is applied to studying the proximity effect in ferromagnet/d-wave superconductor (FM/d-wave SC) junctions. It is found that the magnitude of the proximity effect depends to a great extent on the orientation of the SC crystal with respect to the...
