Abstract
Cross quantum capacitance (CQC) has been proposed as an extension to traditional quantum capacitance (TQC) in systems where strong interfacial screening between spatially separated charge layers modifies the total capacitance—particularly in electric-double-layer-gated transistors (EDLTs) based on two-dimensional (2D) crystals.

Cross quantum capacitance (CQC) has been proposed as an extension to traditional quantum capacitance (TQC) in systems where strong interfacial screening between spatially separated charge layers modifies the total capacitance—particularly in electric-double-layer-gated transistors (EDLTs) based on two-dimensional (2D) crystals. In this work, we revisit a theoretical model of CQC to evaluate its relevance under experimentally realistic conditions. By systematically analyzing the model’s behavior across key parameter spaces, we identify the specific conditions under which CQC leads to the non-monotonic dependence of capacitance on inter-plate distance—a proposed experimental signature of CQC. However, we find that these conditions—requiring similar effective masses, high charge densities, and strong charge asymmetry—are highly restrictive and difficult to realize in typical EDLTs. Instead, we highlight a more experimentally accessible regime in which CQC enhances total capacitance beyond TQC predictions, even in the absence of non-monotonicity. These results clarify the limitations of the existing model and suggest concrete strategies for probing CQC in nanoscale devices, emphasizing the need for new theoretical frameworks that explicitly incorporate both ionic and electronic conductors.

Credit score models are essential tools for evaluating creditworthiness and mitigating financial risks. However, the imbalanced nature of multi-class credit score datasets poses significant challenges for traditional classification algorithms, leading to poor performance in minority classes. This study explores the effectiveness of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)-based oversampling methods, including CTGAN, CopulaGAN, WGAN-GP, and DraGAN, in addressing this issue. By synthesizing realistic data for minority classes and integrating it with majority class data, the study benchmarks these GAN-based methods across classical (KNN, Decision Tree, Logistic Regression) and ensemble machine learning models (XGBoost, Random Forest, LightGBM). Evaluation metrics such as accuracy and F1-score reveal that WGAN-GP consistently achieves superior performance, especially when combined with Random Forest, outperforming other methods in balancing dataset representation and enhancing classification accuracy. The results showed that WGAN-GP + RF achieved 0.873 in accuracy, 0.936 F1-score in the “good” class, 0.806 F1-score in the “poor” class, and 0.816 F1-score in the “standard” class. The findings underscore the potential of GAN-based oversampling in improving multi-class credit score classification and highlight future directions, including hybrid sampling and cost-sensitive learning, to address remaining challenges.
