Data-Intensive Exploration of the Photoelectrochemical Responses of Main-Group Metal Sulfides

Materials that efficiently promote the thermodynamically uphill water-splitting reaction under solar illumination are essential for generating carbon-free ("green") hydrogen. Mapping out the combinatorial space of potential photocatalysts for this reaction ...

Million-scale data integrated deep neural network for phonon properties of heuslers spanning the periodic table

Changpeng Lin, Hong Zhang, Chen Shen, Yong Zhao

Existing machine learning potentials for predicting phonon properties of crystals are typically limited on a material-to-material basis, primarily due to the exponential scaling of model complexity with the number of atomic species. We address this bottlen ...

Tuning the reactivity of uranium towards small molecules in multimetallic complexes

Nadir Jori

One of the main goals of organometallic chemistry in the last decades was the activation of small molecule in mild reaction conditions. Even though multiple examples of catalytic cycles able to produce fine chemicals from cheap and abundant sources using t ...

Plasmonic effects in the neutralization of slow ions at a metallic surface

Marnik Bercx

Secondary electron emission is an important process that plays a significant role in several plasma-related applications. As measuring the secondary electron yield experimentally is very challenging, quantitative modelling of this process to obtain reliabl ...

A wind tunnel study on cyclic yaw control in a wind farm model

Fernando Porté Agel, Guiyue Duan

Dynamic control strategies, such as dynamic induction control [1], were reported as efficient and beneficial in improving wind farm power production. A recent work based on computational fluid dynamics simulation [2] shows that by controlling wake meanderi ...

Inverse-Designed Narrowband THz Radiator for Ultrarelativistic Electrons

Rasmus Ischebeck, Benedikt Hermann

THz radiation finds various applications in science and technology. Pump-probe experiments at free-electron lasers typically rely on THz radiation generated by optical rectification of ultrafast laser pulses in electro-optic crystals. A compact and cost-ef ...

Constructing periodic orbits of high-dimensional chaotic systems by an adjoint-based variational method

Tobias Schneider, Sajjad Azimi, Omid Ashtari

Chaotic dynamics in systems ranging from low-dimensional nonlinear differential equations to high-dimensional spatiotemporal systems including fluid turbulence is supported by nonchaotic, exactly recurring time-periodic solutions of the governing equations ...

Invariant tori in dissipative hyperchaos

Tobias Schneider, Jeremy Peter Parker

One approach to understand the chaotic dynamics of nonlinear dissipative systems is the study of non-chaotic yet dynamically unstable invariant solutions embedded in the system's chaotic attractor. The significance of zero-dimensional unstable fixed points ...

Resolution-robust Large Mask In painting with Fourier Convolutions

Anastasia Remizova

Modern image inpainting systems, despite the significant progress, often struggle with large missing areas, complex geometric structures, and high-resolution images. We find that one of the main reasons for that is the lack of an effective receptive field ...

Modeling the Ga/As binary system across temperatures and compositions from first principles

Michele Ceriotti, Giulio Imbalzano

Materials composed of elements from the third and fifth columns of the periodic table display a very rich behavior, with the phase diagram usually containing a metallic liquid phase and a polar semiconducting solid. As a consequence, it is very hard to ach ...
