Abstract

We present an antiferromagnetically exchange-coupled composite (soft and hard layers) spin torque oscillator (AF-ECC STO) and demonstrate its operation via both analytical and micromagnetic modeling. The operation exploits the exchange field due to the antiferromagnetic coupling between soft and hard sublayers of the free layer as well as on the easy-plane anisotropy of the soft sublayer. Optimized AF-ECC STO structures can generate large-amplitude magnetization oscillations, which can be tuned over a broad frequency range with precessions mostly generated by the soft layer. We demonstrate that the AF-ECC STO structure offers flexibility in current control of the oscillation frequency and magnetization angle for realistic material parameters.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
