Approximating large-basis coupled-cluster theory vibrational frequencies using focal-point approximations

The focal-point approximation can be used to estimate a high-accuracy, slow quantum chemistry computation by combining several lower-accuracy, faster computations. We examine the performance of focal-point methods by combining second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) with coupled-cluster singles, doubles, and perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] for the calculation of harmonic frequencies and that of fundamental frequencies using second-order vibrational perturbation theory (VPT2). In contrast to standard CCSD(T), the focal-point CCSD(T) method approaches the complete basis set (CBS) limit with only triple-ζ basis sets for the coupled-cluster portion of the computation. The predicted harmonic and fundamental frequencies were compared with the experimental values for a set of 20 molecules containing up to six atoms. Here, the focal-point method combining CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pV(T + d)Z with CBS-extrapolated MP2 has mean absolute errors vs experiment of only 7.3 cm −1 for the fundamental frequencies, which are essentially the same as the mean absolute error for CCSD(T) extrapolated to the CBS limit using the aug-cc-pV(Q + d)Z and aug-cc-pV(5 + d)Z basis sets. However, for H 2 O, the focal-point procedure requires only 3% of the computation time as the extrapolated CCSD(T) result, and the cost savings will grow for larger molecules.

Linear response of molecular polaritons

In this article, we show that the collective light–matter strong coupling regime where N molecular emitters couple to the photon mode of an optical cavity can be mapped to a quantum impurity model where the photon is the impurity that is coupled to a bath of anharmonic transitions. In the thermodynamic limit where N ≫ 1, we argue that the bath can be replaced with an effective harmonic bath, leading to a dramatic simplification of the problem into one of the coupled harmonic oscillators. We derive simple analytical expressions for linear optical spectra (transmission, reflection, and absorption) where the only molecular input required is the molecular linear susceptibility. This formalism is applied to a series of illustrative examples, showing the role of temperature, disorder, vibronic coupling, and optical saturation of the molecular ensemble, explaining that it is useful even when describing an important class of nonlinear optical experiments. For completeness, we provide Appendixes A–C that include a self-contained derivation of the relevant spectroscopic observables for arbitrary anharmonic systems (for both large and small N) within the rotating-wave approximation. While some of the presented results herein have already been reported in the literature, we provide a unified presentation of the results as well as new interpretations that connect powerful concepts in open quantum systems and linear response theory with molecular polaritonics.

Voltage waveform tailoring for high aspect ratio plasma etching of SiO 2 using Ar/CF 4 /O 2 mixtures: Consequences of low fundamental frequency biases

The use of non-sinusoidal waveforms in low pressure capacitively coupled plasmas intended for microelectronics fabrication has the goal of customizing ion and electron energy and angular distributions to the wafer. One such non-sinusoidal waveform uses the sum of consecutive harmonics of a fundamental sinusoidal frequency, f 0 , having a variable phase offset between the fundamental and even harmonics. In this paper, we discuss results from a computational investigation of the relation between ion energy and DC self-bias when varying the fundamental frequency f 0 for capacitively coupled plasmas sustained in Ar/CF 4 /O 2 and how those trends translate to a high aspect ratio etching of trenches in SiO 2 . The fundamental frequency, f 0 , was varied from 1 to 10 MHz and the relative phase from 0° to 180°. Two distinct regimes were identified. Average ion energy onto the wafer is strongly correlated with the DC self-bias at high f 0 , with there being a maximum at φ = 0° and minimum at φ = 180°. In the low frequency regime, this correlation is weak. Average ion energy onto the wafer is instead dominated by dynamic transients in the applied voltage waveforms, with a maximum at φ = 180° and minimum at φ = 0°. The trends in ion energy translate to etch properties. In both, the high and low frequency regimes, higher ion energies translate to higher etch rates and generally preferable final features, though behaving differently with phase angle.

Full wave modeling of radio-frequency beams in tokamaks in the electron cyclotron frequency range

Simulation of full wave, without paraxial approximation, high-resolution solution of wave equations in frequency domain in the electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) frequency range for realistic Tokamak plasma parameters became possible by using recently formulated hybrid iterative algorithm [Svidzinski et al., Phys. Plasmas 25, 082509 (2018)] for numerically solving discretized wave equations. This approach combines time evolution and iterative relaxation techniques into iteration cycles. This algorithm is implemented in 2D code FullWave, solving wave equations in Tokamaks in cold and hot plasma models, and it has been tested in 3D full wave iterative RF beams simulation tool, which is presently being developed to model 3D ECRH RF beams in fusion devices using dynamic grid adaptation. The results of 2D full wave modeling, assuming specified toroidal mode number, of ECRH RF beams in DIII-D plasma, performed in the cold and hot plasma models for outboard and top launch scenarios using FullWave are presented. Nonlocal hot plasma response model, based on accurate numerical solution of linearized Vlasov equation, is used to model beam propagation and absorption in the 2nd electron cyclotron harmonic region. Demonstration of capability of the hybrid iterative algorithm to model ECRH RF beams in 3D is made by simulating a substantial part of realistic beam in DIII-D, launched from outboard side of the machine. All relevant physics of RF beam propagation, most of which is not captured in paraxial approximation, such as beam's divergence, interference between the X and O modes in the beam, X-O mode conversion, beam splitting into the X and O mode beams, transformation of beam's cross section, and absorption at the 2nd electron cyclotron harmonic, is captured in the simulations. A numerical technique to find an optimal beam polarization at the launcher to launch a nearly pure X or O mode beam in plasma is developed and tested.

Infrared spectroscopy of the syn -methyl-substituted Criegee intermediate: A combined experimental and theoretical study

An IR–vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) ion-dip spectroscopy method is utilized to examine the IR spectrum of acetaldehyde oxide (CH3CHOO) in the overtone CH stretch (2νCH) spectral region. IR activation creates a depletion of the ground state population that reduces the VUV photoionization signal on the parent mass channel. IR activation of the more stable and populated syn-CH3CHOO conformer results in rapid unimolecular decay to OH + vinoxy products and makes the most significant contribution to the observed spectrum. The resultant IR–VUV ion-dip spectrum of CH3CHOO is similar to that obtained previously for syn-CH3CHOO using IR action spectroscopy with UV laser-induced fluorescence detection of OH products. The prominent IR features at 5984 and 6081 cm−1 are also observed using UV + VUV photoionization of OH products. Complementary theoretical calculations utilizing a general implementation of second-order vibrational perturbation theory provide new insights on the vibrational transitions that give rise to the experimental spectrum in the overtone CH stretch region. The introduction of physically motivated small shifts of the harmonic frequencies yields remarkably improved agreement between experiment and theory in the overtone CH stretch region. The prominent features are assigned as highly mixed states with contributions from two quanta of CH stretch and/or a combination of CH stretch with an overtone in mode 4. The generality of this approach is demonstrated by applying it to three different levels of electronic structure theory/basis sets, all of which provide spectra that are virtually indistinguishable despite showing large deviations prior to introducing the shifts to the harmonic frequencies.

A contactless in situ EFISH method for measuring electrostatic potential profile of semiconductor/electrolyte junctions

In photoelectrochemical cells, promising devices for directly converting solar energy into storable chemical fuels, the spatial variation of the electrostatic potential across the semiconductor–electrolyte junction is the key parameter that determines the cell performance. In principle, electric field induced second harmonic generation (EFISH) provides a contactless in situ spectroscopic tool to measure the spatial variation of electrostatic potential. However, the total second harmonic generation (SHG) signal contains the contributions of the EFISH signals of semiconductor space charge layer and the electric double layer, in addition to the SHG signal of the electrode surface. The interference of these complex quantities hinders their analysis. In this work, to understand and deconvolute their contributions to the total SHG signals, bias-dependent SHG measurements are performed on the rutile TiO2(100)–electrolyte junction as a function of light polarization and crystal azimuthal angle (angle of the incident plane relative to the crystal [001] axis). A quadratic response between SHG intensity and the applied potential is observed in both the accumulation and depletion regions of TiO2. The relative phase difference and amplitude ratio are extracted at selected azimuthal angles and light polarizations. At 0° azimuthal angle and s-in–p-out polarization, the SHG intensity minimum has the best match with the TiO2 flatband potential due to the orthogonal relative phase difference between bias-dependent and bias-independent SHG terms. We further measure the pH-dependent flatband potential and probe the photovoltage under open circuit conditions using the EFISH technique, demonstrating the capability of this contactless method for measuring electrostatic potential at semiconductor–electrolyte junctions.

Propagation of ion cyclotron emission in the DIII-D tokamak

Experiments in L- and H-mode plasmas performed on the DIII-D tokamak explored ion cyclotron emission (ICE) propagation via the recently upgraded ICE diagnostic. The distance between the plasma and the outer wall was scanned to alter the evanescent region, which was seen to impact the detection of runaway electron-driven whistler modes in a comparable frequency range to typical ICE harmonics (f≳10fci) [Heidbrink et al., Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 61, 014007 (2018)]. In L-mode plasmas, core ICE did not exhibit clear trends as the plasma-wall distance was altered. Instead, inadvertent changes to the fast ion density correlated with different ICE fine structures; the most spectral bands (spaced ∼150–200 kHz apart) were observed at the highest fast ion density, and a just single band when nfast decreased by ∼ 40%. The full-wave Petra-M code simulated core ICE propagation through the plasma and to ICE probes, agreeing with experimental findings that these are likely compressional fast waves, which propagate to probe locations with no dependence on plasma-wall gap. Edge ICE in H-mode plasmas was similarly unaffected by plasma-wall distance. Unlike in core ICE cases, there were negligible changes to the edge fast ion distribution and edge bulk plasma profiles. However, changes in ELM frequency seemed most closely tied to ICE behavior. Ultimately, core and edge ICE did not exhibit clear dependencies on the plasma-wall distance, and ICE harmonics were observed with even the largest plasma-wall gaps. This independence bodes well for similar diagnostics in future tokamaks, which might be placed further from high radiation areas without adversely impacting measurement capabilities.

Modeling the contributions to acoustic nonlinearity from complex dislocation networks using 3D dislocation dynamics

Nonlinear ultrasonic parameters are highly sensitive to microstructural features that affect macroscale material behavior, providing a nondestructive means to characterize their evolution. Although dislocations are known to be a strong source of acoustic nonlinearity, establishing quantitative links between the acoustic nonlinearity parameter (β), measured via Second Harmonic Generation, and dislocation morphology—such as dislocation length and density—remains an open challenge. This work advances the numerical modeling of dislocation–β relationships using 3D dislocation dynamics (DD) simulations in two approaches: a “static” method computing strain and stress fields from dislocation configurations in the absence of external loading, and a “quasi-static” method to estimate β from the curvature of dislocation lines under applied load. First, the static method is combined with finite element analysis to investigate a recent assertion that heterogeneous initial strain fields can induce higher harmonic generation in a linear elastic medium; the present results do not corroborate this outcome. Then, the quasi-static method is applied to multiple-dislocation scenarios through parametric studies, revealing behaviors not predicted by analytical models, such as the competing interactions of edge and screw dislocations and the significant influence of applied stress on β. Finally, the simulations are used to model SHG experimental results and validate the hypothesis that β can decrease during plastic deformation, despite increasing dislocation density. As the DD code used here is open-source, it provides a practical platform for future investigation into microstructure–β relationships important to the interpretation of SHG results.

Quantum kinetic modeling of KEEN waves in a warm-dense regime

We report the first fully kinetic, quantum study of kinetic electrostatic electron nonlinear (KEEN) waves, showing that quantum diffraction systematically erodes the classical trapping mechanism, narrows harmonic locking to the fundamental, and hastens post-drive decay. Electrons are evolved with a second-order Strang-split 1D1V Wigner–Poisson solver that couples conservative semi-Lagrangian WENO advection to an analytic Fourier space update for the non-local Wigner term, while ions remain classical. We focus on collisionless dynamics in a weakly coupled regime, providing a controlled baseline before collisional extensions. Short, frequency-tuned ponderomotive pulses drive KEEN formation in a uniform Maxwellian plasma; as the dimensionless quantum parameter H rises from the classical limit to values relevant to warm-dense matter, doped semiconductors, and 2D electron systems, the drive threshold increases, higher harmonics are damped, trapped electron vortices diffuse, and the subplasma electrostatic energy relaxes to a lower stationary level, as confirmed by continuous wavelet analysis. These microscopic changes carry macroscopic weight. Ignition-scale capsules now compress matter to regimes where the electron de Broglie wavelength rivals the Debye length, making classical kinetic descriptions insufficient. By extending KEEN physics into this quantum domain, our results offer a potential diagnostic of non-equilibrium electron dynamics for next-generation inertial-confinement designs and high-energy-density platforms, indicating that predictive fusion modeling may benefit from the integration of kinetic fidelity with quantum effects.

Linearized frequency domain Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation formulation

We present a general finite element linearized Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (LLGE) solver for magnetic systems under weak time-harmonic excitation field. The linearized LLGE is obtained by assuming a small deviation around the equilibrium state of the magnetic system. Inserting such expansion into LLGE and keeping only first order terms gives the linearized LLGE, which gives a frequency domain solution for the complex magnetization amplitudes under an external time-harmonic applied field of a given frequency. We solve the linear system with an iterative solver using generalized minimal residual method. We construct a preconditioner matrix to effectively solve the linear system. The validity, effectiveness, speed, and scalability of the linear solver are demonstrated via numerical examples.

Finite-temperature vibrational full configuration interaction

Thermodynamic functions of an ideal molecular gas due to its anharmonic vibrations are evaluated in a wide range of temperature (T) by the vibrational full-configuration-interaction (FCI) method using a quartic force field and a finite number (N) of harmonic-oscillator basis functions along each normal mode. The thermodynamic functions considered are the grand potential (Ω), internal energy (U), and entropy (S). They are compared with those obtained from the Bose–Einstein theory with or without truncation of the harmonic-oscillator basis functions after quantum number N–1. The comparison reveals that the finite-basis-set errors in Ω and U are, respectively, k B Tln(k B T/Nℏω) and k B T per mode in the high-T limit, obscuring anharmonic effects when k B T > ℏω, where ω is the lowest mode frequency. Here, the benchmark data for several low-order perturbation corrections to Ω, U, and S are also obtained as the numerical derivatives of their FCI values with respect to dimensionless perturbation strength, and the domain of T and N in which these data are reliable (for the N → ∞ limits) is discussed.

Identification of Important Phenomena for Light Water Reactors During Heat Transport System Failure Events in Integrated Energy Systems

This work adapts historical literature and existing phenomena identification and ranking tables (PIRT) to be applicable to a novel nuclear power plant (NPP) and chemical or thermal process integrated energy system (IES), particularly focusing on the process heat and heat transport system failure events that are not a concern during normal NPP operation but become vital when an IES is considered. Nuclear energy has been suggested to go beyond base-load applications and be used for hydrogen co-generation systems, amongst other IESs. Prior to the implementation of nuclear IESs, sufficient analysis must be performed on accident events to ensure public safety. The events considered were deemed important because of their potential to damage systems, structures, and components (SSCs). Process thermal events of concern include loss of heat load and temperature transient events. Loss of heat load events were characterized as having high importance and being well understood. Temperature transient events may be further categorized by the cyclic loading and harmonics phenomena. Cyclic loading issues were classified as medium to high importance with knowledge gaps existing regarding fatigue and low power operation, while harmonics phenomena were classified as low importance and are well understood. Heat transport system failure events of concern include intermediate and process heat exchanger failures, mass addition to reactor coolant, ingress of material from thermal manifold/energy storage, and loss of intermediate fluid. Furthermore, these events tended to be of high or medium importance, with some knowledge gaps needing to be filled for individual reactor systems due to unique designs.

Precision Tests of the Nonlinear Mode Coupling of Anisotropic Flow via High-Energy Collisions of Isobars

Valuable information on dynamics of expanding fluids can be inferred from the response of such systems to perturbations in their initial geometry. We apply this technique in high-energy 96 Ru+ 96 Ru and 96 Zr+ 96 Zr collisions to scrutinize the expansion dynamics of the quark-gluon plasma, where the initial geometry perturbations are sourced by the differences in deformations and radial profiles between 96 Ru and 96 Zr, and the collective response is captured by the change in anisotropic flow V n between the two collision systems. Using a transport model, we analyze how the nonlinear coupling between lower-order flow harmonics V 2 and V 3 to the higher-order flow harmonics V 4 and V 5 , expected to scale as V 4 NL = χ 4 V 2 2 and V 5NL = χ 5 V 2 V 3 , gets modified as one moves from 96 Ru+ 96 Ru to 96 Zr+ 96 Zr systems. We find that these scaling relations are valid to high precision: variations of order 20% in V 4NL and V 5NL due to differences in quadrupole deformation, octupole deformation, and nuclear skin modify χ 4 and χ 5 by about 1–2%. Percent-level deviations are however larger than the expected experimental uncertainties and could be measured. Therefore, collisions of isobars with different nuclear structures are a unique tool to isolate subtle nonlinear effects in the expansion of the quark-gluon plasma that would be otherwise impossible to access in a single collision system.

Anomalies of cosmic anisotropy from holographic universality of great-circle variance

We examine all-sky cosmic microwave background temperature maps on large angular scales to compare their consistency with two scenarios: the standard inflationary quantum picture, and a distribution constrained to have a universal variance of primordial curvature perturbations on great circles. The latter symmetry is not a property of standard quantum inflation, but may be a symmetry of holographic models with causal quantum coherence on null surfaces. Since the variation of great-circle variance is dominated by the largest angular scale modes, in the latter case the amplitude and direction of the unobserved intrinsic dipole (that is, the ℓ = 1 harmonics) can be estimated from measured ℓ = 2, 3 harmonics by minimizing the variance of great-circle variances including only ℓ = 1, 2, 3 modes. It is found that including the estimated intrinsic dipole leads to a nearly-null angular correlation function over a wide range of angles, in agreement with a null anti-hemispherical symmetry independently motivated by holographic causal arguments, but highly anomalous in standard cosmology. Simulations are used here to show that simultaneously imposing the constraints of universal great-circle variance and the vanishing of the angular correlation function over a wide range of angles tends to require patterns that are unusual in the standard picture, such as anomalously high sectorality of the ℓ = 3 components, and a close alignment of principal axes of ℓ = 2 and ℓ = 3 components, that have been previously noted on the actual sky. The precision of these results appears to be primarily limited by errors introduced by models of Galactic foregrounds.

Degenerate parametric down-conversion facilitated by exciton-plasmon polariton states in a nonlinear plasmonic cavity

Abstract We study the effect of degenerate parametric down-conversion (DPDC) in an ensemble of two-level quantum emitters (QEs) coupled via near-field interactions to a single surface plasmon (SP) mode of a nonlinear plasmonic cavity. For this purpose, we develop a quantum driven-dissipative model capturing non-equilibrium dynamics of the system in which incoherently pumped QEs have transition frequency tuned near the second-harmonic response of the SPs. Considering the strong coupling regime, i.e. the SP-QE interaction rate exceeds system dissipation rates, we find a critical SP-QE coupling attributed to the phase transition between normal and lasing steady states. Examining fluctuations above the system’s steady states, we predict new elementary excitations, namely, the exciton-plasmon polaritons formed by the two-SP quanta and single-exciton states of QEs. The contribution of two-SP quanta results in the linear scaling of the SP-QE interaction rate with the number of QEs,  o , as opposed to the  o -scaling known for the Dicke and Tavis–Cummings models. We further examine how SP-QE interaction scaling affects the polariton dispersions and power spectra in the vicinity of the critical coupling. For this purpose, we compare the calculation results assuming a finite ensemble of QEs and the model thermodynamic limit. The calculated power spectra predict an interplay of coherent photon emission by QEs near the second-harmonic frequency and correlated photon-pair emission at the fundamental frequency by the SPs (i.e. the photonic DPDC effect).

Electric field reversals resulting from voltage waveform tailoring in Ar/O 2 capacitively coupled plasmas sustained in asymmetric systems

The etching of nanometer scale high-aspect-ratio (HAR) features into dielectric materials in low pressure radio frequency excited plasmas is often accompanied by charge accumulation inside the features which can slow etching rates and produce distortions such as twisting. The intra feature charging is at least partially produced by differences in electron and ion energy and angular distributions (EADs). Positive ions, accelerated to high energies having narrow angular spreads by the sheath electric field, can penetrate deeply into HAR features. Electrons typically arrive at the wafer with nearly thermal and isotropic distributions and do not penetrate deeply into HAR features. These disparities lead to differential charging of the inside of the feature, which can lead to reductions in etch rate and feature distortion due to ion deflection. With in-creasing aspect ratio of features, charging challenges are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. In this work, the use of tailored voltage waveforms in geometrically asymmetric capacitively coupled plasmas sustained in Ar/O 2 at 40 mTorr was computationally investigated with the goal of shaping the EAD of electrons incident onto the substrate to address differential charging. The tailored waveform consisted of a sinusoidal wave and its higher harmonics with a fundamental frequency of 1 MHz. Further, we found that electric field reversals in the sheath and presheath can occur during the anodic portion of the cycle. The electric field reversal increases the energy and decreases the angular spread of electrons incident onto the substrate. The magnitude of the electric field reversal can be controlled by the phase angle of the even harmonics and the gas composition. Due to its electronegative nature, increasing mole fractions of O 2 impedes electron transport to the surface which further increases the electric field reversal.

Terahertz bound state in the continuum in dielectric membrane metasurfaces

Mie-resonant metasurfaces composed of subwavelength dielectric resonators enable an efficient route for electromagnetic wave manipulation. Among these manipulations, a localized mode with a high-quality factor coexisting with a continuous spectrum of radiating waves termed bound state in the continuum (BIC) can arouse many exotic applications in photonics. Here, we demonstrate the terahertz BIC in a dielectric membrane metasurface and analyze its resonant nature based on Mie-resonant multipoles and vector spherical harmonics. The intrinsic splitting of the resonances under oblique incidence is also explored, in which the conversion of multipole radiation patterns versus the oblique angle will drive the resonances from BIC to leaky modes or vice versa. Both Γ and off-Γ point BICs could be identified as the superposition cancellation of vector spherical harmonics for both p-wave and s-wave. Our research not only provides a novel perspective for exploring the essence of BIC metasurfaces in the terahertz regime, but also points new opportunities for achieving terahertz BIC metasurfaces with ultra-high quality factors.

Precise and accurate cosmology with CMB×LSS power spectra and bispectra

With the advent of a new generation of cosmological experiments that will provide high-precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and galaxies in the large-scale structure, it is pertinent to examine the potential of performing a joint analysis of multiple cosmological probes. In this paper, we study the cosmological information content contained in the one-loop power spectra and tree bispectra of galaxies cross-correlated with CMB lensing. We use the FFTLog method to compute angular correlations in spherical harmonic space, applicable for wide angles that can be accessed by forthcoming galaxy surveys. Here, we find that adding the bispectra and cross-correlations with CMB lensing offers a significant improvement in parameter constraints, including those on the total neutrino mass, M ν , and local non-Gaussianity amplitude, ƒ NL . In particular, our results suggest that the combination of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and CMB-S4 will be able to achieve σ(M ν )=42 meV from galaxy and CMB lensing correlations, and σ(M ν )=12 meV when further combined with the CMB temperature and polarization data, without any prior on the optical depth.
