In this work, using theoretical calculations within the framework of the density functional theory, taking into account the dispersive VDW interaction, the processes of adsorption and interaction of a water molecule with a TiO2 surface in various configurations are investigated. At the atomic/molecular level, the interactions of a...
Using 20.3~fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773~GeV with the BESIII detector, we report the first observation of the semileptonic decays \mbox{$D^0\to K^-ωe^+ν_e$} and \mbox{$D^+\to K_S^0ωe^+ν_e$} with significances of $8.0σ$ and $5.8σ$, respectively. Their decay branching fractions...
Transition-metal trichalcogenides distinguish themselves from other two-dimensional materials in nanoscience and materials science due to their remarkable range of intrinsic properties, including various electronic, optical, and magnetic behaviors. Here, we report a comprehensive study of superconductivity in disordered ZrTe$_{3-x}$...
In the present work, we numerically investigate the horizon structure of the Kerr-Sen black holes in anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. Further, we investigate the phase transitions and critical phenomena in Kerr-Sen-AdS black holes at the critical points. Such black holes are characterized by its mass ($M$), the dilaton charge ($Q$),...
We explore systematically the shocked gas in the first Galactic quadrant of the Milky Way using the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) Wide-field Infrared Survey for Fe+ (UWIFE). The UWIFE survey is the first imaging survey of the Milky Way in the [Fe II] 1.644 um emission line and covers the Galactic plane in the first...
Energy transfer in turbulent flows is typically described either through correlation functions, via the Kármán-Howarth-Monin relation, or through a scale-by-scale budget of filtered energy (Frisch 1995). For constant-density turbulence, the equivalence between these two descriptions is well understood. In compressible turbulence,...
The energetics and stability of dislocations, vacancies and, interstitials in the one-component plasma (OCP), where the charges interact with a log potential and move on the curved surface of a cylinder have been investigated numerically. For vacancy-interstitial pairs, the log term of the direct Coulomb attraction and the elastic...
In open quantum systems, a basic question at the interface of quantum information, statistical physics, and many-body dynamics is how well can one infer the structure of noise and dissipation generators from finite-time measurement statistics alone. Motivated by this question, we study the learnability and cryptographic applications...
The nature of the tetraneutron ($4n$) system remains a pivotal question in nuclear physics. We investigate the $4n$ system using nuclear lattice effective field theory in finite volumes with a lattice size up to $L=30$~fm, employing both a high-precision N$^3$LO interaction and a simplified SU(4) symmetric one. The ground-state energy...
Room-temperature, miniaturized, polarization-resolved terahertz (THz) detection of high speed is vital for high-resolution imaging in radar, remote sensing, and semiconductor inspection, and is essential for large-scale THz focal plane arrays. However, miniaturization below deep-subwavelength scales (< 1/50 wavelength) remain...
We compute the gravitational fluxes and waveform for eccentric compact binaries including matter effects through adiabatic tidal interactions within the post-Newtonian approximation. The computations are performed at the relative 2.5PN order. Using the dynamics derived in the companion paper, we first derive the radiated energy and...
The experimental advances in realizing artificial spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and non-Hermitian potentials in ultracold atomic system open a new avenue for exploring their significant roles in quantum many-body physics. Here, we investigate a non-Hermitian, two-component Fermi system in a cubic lattice with Rashba SOC and complex-valued...
The centrosymmetric cubic compound EuTi$_2$Al$_{20}$, in which magnetic Eu ions form a diamond network, undergoes an antiferromagnetic transition at T$_N$ = 3.3 K and exhibits metamagnetic transitions at H$_{m1}$ = 1.7 T and H$_{m2}$ = 2.8 T for H || [100] at 1.9 K. Between these fields, the magnetization shows a step-like behavior,...
Based on a transformer based sequence-to-sequence architecture combined with a dynamic batching algorithm, this work introduces a machine learning framework for automatically simplifying complex expressions involving multiple elliptic Gamma functions, including the $q$-$θ$ function and the elliptic Gamma function. The model learns to...
In this work, we study the nucleon-antinucleon system in a constituent quark model. We first construct the nucleon-antinucleon wave function such that the multiquark and multiantiquark components each satisfy the Pauli exclusion principle, and then investigate the possibility of a bound state using a Hamiltonian that includes...
The nature of the central engine powering short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs) in binary neutron star (BNS) mergers remains a key open question in the era of multi-messenger astronomy. The ergostar hypothesis, that a rapidly rotating star with an ergoregion drives the relativistic jet, offers an alternative explanation to the black...
Van der Waals magnets are attracting a lot of attention for their potential integration in spintronic and magnonic technologies. CrSBr is an A-type antiferromagnet that shows a coupling between its electronic band structure and magnetic properties. This property is appealing for applications and it also offers the possibility to...
We demonstrate photonic control of radiative heat transport in nanoscale networks through phase-controlled interference between elastic and inelastic Floquet scattering channels induced by temporal permittivity modulation. Relative modulation phases select constructive or destructive interference, enabling directional thermal-photon...
Chiral particles are experimentally investigated while settling inwater with various turbulence intensity levels. The locations and orientations of the particles are tracked over time, allowing the close investigation of the particles' settling dynamics. The generated turbulent flow is measured using laser Doppler anemometry (LDA),...
The statistical tension between early and late universe measurements of the Hubble constant ($H_0$) suggests that the dark sector is dynamical rather than static. We propose that this dynamics arises from a fundamental symmetry principle: the Spontaneous Breaking of Scale Invariance. We introduce the Dilaton ($χ$), a...
In the years 1952 and 1965, H.-C. Wang and U. Hirzebruch showed that the two-point homogeneous compact spaces with convex metrics are isometric to the spheres, the real, complex, octonion projective spaces and the Moufang plane and as well to the sets of the minimal idempotents or pure states in the simple Euclidean Jordan algebras....
The increasing complexity and scale of cosmological N-body simulations, driven by astronomical surveys like Euclid, call for a paradigm shift towards more sustainable and energy-efficient high-performance computing (HPC). The rising energy consumption of supercomputing facilities poses a significant environmental and financial...
This work investigates the weakly nonlinear dynamics of internal shear layers and the mean zonal flow induced by the longitudinal libration of an inner core within a spherical shell. Building on the work of He et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 939, 2022, A3), which focused on linear dynamics, we adopt a similar setup to explore the...
We report rovibronic spectra of the A $^3Σ^+$($v'=0-2$) - X $^3Π_Ω(v=0)$ rovibronic transitions ($|Ω|=0, 1$ and 2) of the CO$^{2+}$ doubly-charged molecular ion. Spectra were recorded at high resolution ($\sim 5$~cm$^{-1}$) in a fast beam of CO$^{2+}$ molecules by detecting the Coulomb explosion of the molecules upon excitation to the...
Continuous cellular automata are rocketing in popularity, yet developing a theoretical understanding of their behaviour remains a challenge. In the case of Lenia, a few fundamental open problems include determining what exactly constitutes a soliton, what is the overall structure of the parameter space, and where do the solitons occur...
