Abstract

Coupled cluster (CC) methods are among the most accurate methods in quantum chemistry. However, the standard CC linear response formulation is not gauge invariant resulting in errors when modelling properties like optical rotation and electron circular dichroism. Including an explicit unitary orbital rotation in the CC Lagrangian makes the linear response function gauge invariant, but the resulting models are not equivalent to full configuration interaction (FCI) in the untruncated limit. In this contribution, such methods are briefly discussed and it is demonstrated that methods using a nonorthogonal orbital transformation, such as nonorthogonal orbital optimized CC (NOCC), can converge to FCI in the untruncated limit. This has been disputed in the literature.

Intrinsic Matching Frustration in Fluctuating Finite Systems

We formulate intrinsic matching frustration (IMF), a fluctuation-induced, kinetics-independent reduction in the mean capacity permitted by a prescribed matching rule. For complementary one-to-one matching, the instantaneous capacity is set by the minority population, so fluctuations produce a nonzero mean deficit even when the two populations are balanced on average. At finite size, this deficit depends on the full distribution of the population difference and is determined by its variance alone only in the Gaussian limit. Compartmentalization hides matching capacity by preventing cancellation between local imbalances of opposite sign. Fusion releases this hidden capacity monotonically under coarse graining, producing a measurable recovery of product yield following local reaction to completion.

Phonon chirality as an additive control of CISS: a symmetry-protected law

Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) is usually associated with molecular handedness. The possible contribution of chiral phonons is less established. We study a helical tight-binding model in which local phonon angular momentum modulates spin-dependent nearest-neighbor hopping. Fewest-switches surface hopping calculations give the transmitted spin polarization $\mathrm{SP}=aC+b\mathrm{PH}$. Here $C$ is the molecular chirality and $\mathrm{PH}$ is the phonon chirality. A mirror symmetry reverses $C$, $\mathrm{PH}$, and $\mathrm{SP}$ simultaneously. This symmetry excludes both a chirality-independent offset and a $C\cdot\mathrm{PH}$ term. The phonon contribution can therefore enhance, cancel, or reverse the molecular CISS signal.

A fast physics-based matrix model for the impedance of a PEM fuel cell: Incorporating functionally graded catalyst layer and channel impedances

We extend a recent physics-based matrix model for calculating PEM fuel cell impedance (doi:10.1149/2754-2734/ad6ce8) to cases of low air flow stoichiometry and functionally graded cathode catalyst layers (CCLs). We demonstrate that the matrix model produces accurate spectra and is almost three orders of magnitude faster than a model based on the standard boundary-value problem solver. The physics-based matrix model can compete with equivalent circuit models for fitting experimental EIS spectra, particularly those measured from cells with functionally graded CCL.
