Delocalized Davydov D1 Ansatz for the Holstein polaron by Sun, Jin, Duan, Liwei, Zhao, Yang

“…The delocalized D1 Ansatz lowers the ground-state energies at the Brillouin zone boundary significantly compared with the Toyozawa and Global-Local Ansätze in the weak coupling regime, while considerable improvement is demonstrated to have been achieved over the entire Brillouin zone in the strong coupling regime. …”

Fluid-fluid displacement in porous-media microfluidics by Qiu, Yu

“…We first develop a phase-field model to simulate two-phase flow with moving contact lines in the partial wetting regime. We construct a self-consistent formulation of fluid-solid surface energy which allows prescribing arbitrary static contact angles. …”

Super lubrication bottlebrush polymer particles synthesis using core cross-linking by Garnadi, Jovanca Kartika

“…We synthesized poly(dimethicone) (PDM-I) (bottlebrush polymer part) as the macroinitiator with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linking segment. Cross-linked bottlebrush polymer particles are not easily entangled and interpenetrated among each other due to the steric repulsion. …”

Semi-local projective invariants for the recognition of smooth plane curves by Carlsson, S, Mohr, R, Moons, T, Morin, L, Rothwell, C, Van Diest, M, Van Gool, L, Veillon, F, Zisserman, A

“…All the methods define a distinguished or canonical projective frame for the curve segment which is used for projective normalisation. …”

How many online workers are there in the world? A data-driven assessment by Kässi, O, Lehdonvirta, V, Stephany, F

“…Our results indicate that online freelancing represents a non-trivial segment of labour today, but one that is spread thinly across countries and sectors.…”

Hawking radiation of extended objects by Johnson, G, March-Russell, J

“…We find that in the low-momentum regime, the power emitted is exponentially suppressed for sufficiently large radiated objects, or sufficiently small black holes, though the temperature of emission is unchanged. …”

Dynamics of localized waves in one-dimensional random potentials : statistical theory of the coherent forward scattering peak by Lee, Kean Loon, Miniatura, Christian, Grémaud, Benoît

“…Going beyond the perturbative regime, we address here the long-time dynamics of the CFS peak in a one-dimensional random system and we relate this novel interference effect to the statistical properties of the eigenfunctions and eigenspectrum of the corresponding random Hamiltonian. …”

Coherently tunable triangular trefoil phaseonium metamaterial by Soci, Cesare, Nguyen, Duc Minh, Ooi, Raymond C. H.

“…We find that, in the metallic regime, the phaseonium metamaterial structure supports extremely large transmission, with optical amplification at large enough intensity of the microwave thanks to strong surface plasmon coupling; while, in the dielectric regime without microwave excitation, the transmission bandwidth can be tuned by varying the control beam intensity. …”
