Abstract

We present a quantum dynamic study on organic lasing phenomena, which is a challenging issue in organic optoelectronics. Previously, phenomenological method has achieved success in describing experimental observation. However, it cannot directly bridge the laser threshold with molecular electronic structure parameters and cavity parameters. Quantum dynamics method for describing organic lasing and obtaining laser threshold is highly expected. In this Letter, we first propose a microscopic model suitable for describing the lasing dynamics of organic molecular system and we apply the time-dependent wave-packet diffusion (TDWPD) to reveal the microscopic quantum dynamical process for the optical pumped lasing behavior. Lasing threshold is obtained from the onset of output as a function of optical input pumping. We predict that the lasing threshold has an optimal value as function of the cavity volume and depends linearly on the intracavity photon leakage rate. The structure-property relationships between molecular electronic structure parameters (including the energy of molecular excited state, the transition dipole and the organization energy) and the laser threshold obtained through numerical calculations are in qualitative agreement the experimental results, which also confirms the reliability of our approach. This work is beneficial to understanding the mechanism of organic laser and optimizing the design of organic laser materials. TOC

Global approximations to the error function of real argument for vectorized computation

The error function of real argument can be approximated to a given uniform relative accuracy by a single closed-form expression for the whole variable range either in terms of addition, multiplication, division, and square root operations only, or also using the exponential function. The coefficients have been tabulated for up to 128-bit precision. Tests of a computer code implementation using the standard single- and double-precision floating-point arithmetic show good performance and vectorizability. Approximations to the complementary error function have also been found, including those where only additions, multiplications, and one division are needed to reach a uniform absolute accuracy.

From Heuristics to Machine Learning: The Performance Ceiling for Single-Ion Magnets and Its Electronic Origin

Machine learning (ML) is expected to speed up the discovery of single-ion magnets (SIMs), but does the structural information available before synthesis allow such predictions? For 1215 lanthanide complexes from the SIMDAVIS 1.2.1 database we compared three increasing levels of structural description: tabular features of the coordination site, continuous symmetry measures of the coordination polyhedron, and the complete 3D arrangement of atoms. All three converge to an accuracy near 76%, only slightly above the 71% of the single rule "predict SIM for Dy3+". To explain the failures, we combined multireference ab initio calculations with an inspection of the structures behind the high-confidence errors. The SIMs missed by the geometric models are field-induced relaxers whose ground Kramers doublets are prone to tunnelling, a property invisible to geometric descriptors. Many false positives contain several lanthanide centers or radicals, so their relaxation is collective and outside the single-ion picture. The electronic-structure and connectivity information needed to identify SIMs is therefore not accessible to geometric methods alone. Geometric models remain useful: restricting the screening to compounds with high prediction confidence raises the accuracy to 88% while retaining 48% of the dataset. Building on the analysis of the failures, we propose a strategy that combines simple filters for nuclearity and for radicals with ligand-field descriptors from ab initio calculations.

Composition-Dependent Self-Diffusion Coefficients in Liquid Mixtures from Hybrid Machine Learning

Self-diffusion coefficients are key descriptors of molecular mobility, yet experimental data remain scarce, highlighting the need for reliable prediction methods. In previous work, we introduced the hybrid Enhanced Stokes-Einstein (ESE) model, which advanced the state of the art in the physically consistent prediction of self-diffusion coefficients of solutes at infinite dilution in pure solvents by integrating the Stokes-Einstein equation with machine learning (ML). Here, we extend this approach to concentration-dependent self-diffusion coefficients and multicomponent solvents with HADES. This hybrid architecture leverages a deep-set neural network to connect pure-component and mixture prediction within a single framework. HADES predicts self-diffusion coefficients in liquid mixtures with any number of components at any composition and temperature. The only required inputs are SMILES-encoded molecular structures of the components and the pure-component viscosities, making the method broadly applicable. Trained and evaluated on a comprehensive dataset of 2526 data points for 600 systems, HADES significantly outperforms benchmark prediction methods. The trained model and its source code are fully disclosed, and the application is available via an interactive website https://ml-prop.mv.rptu.de/.
