Abstract

Omnidirectional light propagation in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PCs) has been investigated by extending the formerly developed 2D finite element analysis (FEA) of in-plane light propagation in which the corresponding band structure (BS) and photon density of states (PDOS) of 2D PCs with complex geometry configurations had been calculated more accurately by using an adaptive FEA in real space for both the transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes. In this work, by adopting a waveguiding theory under the consideration of translational symmetry, the omnidirectional PDOS corresponding to both the radiative and evanescent waves can be calculated accurately and efficiently based on the in-plane dispersion relations of both TE and TM modes within the irreducible Brillouin zone. We demonstrate that the complete band gaps shown by previous work considering only the radiative modes will be closed by including the contributions of the evanescent modes. These results are of general importance and relevance to the spontaneous emission by an atom or to dipole radiation in 2D periodic structures. In addition, it may serve as an efficient approach to identifying the existence of a complete photonic band gap in a 2D PC instead of using time-consuming 3D BS calculations.

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.
