Abstract

The mean axial velocity of lithium irons across the entrance of carbon nanotube VLi is an important factor for the charge-discharge performances of rechargeable Lithium battery. The molecular dynamics simulation method is adopted to evaluate the factors and their effects on VLi which include the diameter of carbon nanotube, functional group type on the port and the number of a given type of functional group. The statistical analysis of the calculation results shows that: In the selected carbon nanotubes of four different diameters, VLi will gradually rise with the increase of CNT diameter due to lithium irons migration resistance decreasing; as the port of CNT is successively modified to hydrogen (-H), hydroxyl (-OH), amino (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH), the corresponding migration resistance of lithium ions is enhanced resulting in the dropping of VLi; in comparison to the effect strength of four types of functional groups on VLi, -COOH shows strongest, -NH2 and -OH perform relatively weaker, and the effect difference between -NH2 and -OH is very small, -H displays weakest; When the number of a given non-hydrogen functional group on the port sequentially increases, it also shows a trend that lithium ion migration resistance gradually increases which makes VLi decreases in turn. The more influential the functional group, the greater the impact of functional group number changes on VLi. The results of this paper have some significance on the precise production of lithium-ion battery electrode materials, enhancing the overall battery cycle efficiency and charging speed.

Bi-Hamiltonian in Semiflexible Polymers built upon Overdamping Process

Quantifying the interaction between a system of interest and its ambient conditions, the memory effect links the states of two distinct Hamiltonians: one for the target system and one for the environment. In this paper, we propose the diffusion process derived from the Smoluchowski equation that can derive the evolution process described by the memory effect integration in a non Markovian regime. The Smoluchowski picture, within the framework of stochastic thermodynamics, justifies a diffusion process incorporated into the equations of motion, and the result of the derivation enables a coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation with the modified equation of motion to reproduce attenuation from collisions between single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under far from equilibrium conditions. The results of the numerical experiments on the collision confirm that heat diffusion compensates for the correlated momentum arising from the memory effect between the two Hamiltonians in both equilibrium and far from equilibrium states.

Translation of transient acoustic fields

A method is presented for the translation of acoustic field data from a source to a target region. Field data are represented as spherical harmonic expansions on spheres surrounding the source and target regions respectively and expansions are translated using a ``point and shoot'' method using the Kirchhoff--Helmholtz integral to carry out an axial translation from one sphere to the other. The principal motivation for the method is its use in a time-domain Fast Multipole Method, and test cases reflective of this application are presented. The method converges to six digits for appropriate values of parameters and for the values of $N$ considered here computational effort scales approximately as $N^{2}$ where $N$ is the order of spherical harmonic expansion for the field data. The method is causal and thus avoids artifacts generated in methods which are not based on intrinsically causal formulations.

Learning continuous reaction paths for transition-state prediction

Transition states are defined by reaction pathways, yet most machine-learning methods predict them as isolated geometries. We introduce MARC-TS, a two-stage framework that learns a continuous, endpoint-conditioned path, queries it at any resolution and uses local path context to refine a transition-state candidate. We construct T1x-IRC-8K, a dataset of 8,209 reactions and 1,088,725 path-resolved geometries. On held-out reactions, the path model reduced complete-path error by 48.4% relative to endpoint interpolation, and the localizer achieved a mean aligned structural error of 0.127 Å. Quantum-chemical optimization and vibrational analysis yielded 405 frequency-confirmed first-order saddle-point candidates from 410 predictions. In a 100-reaction nudged elastic band comparison, learned-path initialization reached a joint geometry-and-force target for 66% of reactions, compared with 12% for geometric interpolation after 100 optimizer steps. By treating the path as a reusable representation rather than an auxiliary output, MARC-TS connects transition-state prediction, mechanistic interpretation and quantum-chemical refinement.
