The hierarchy of Davydov's Ansaetze and its applications by Zhao, Yang, Sun, Kewei, Chen, Lipeng, Gelin, Maxim

“…Davydov's original solitons appeared in the 1970s as a candidate for vibrational energy carriers in proteins, thanks to their associa- tion with the Fröhlich Hamiltonian and the Holstein molecular crystal model. Momentum-space projection of those solitary waves emerged to be great approximations to the ground-state wave functions of the extended Holstein Hamiltonian, lending unambiguous evidence to the absence of formal quan- tum phase transitions in those systems. …”

Novel optical microscopy techniques to assess grain orientation information in polycrystalline materials by Wang, Xiaogang

“…For this reason, optical microscopy cannot be employed to resolve materials’ atomic structure and its use is typically limited to quantifying the geometry and distribution of the microstructural features that can be resolved, such as crystal grains, phases, and defect. In this project we will use modified optical techniques and develop novel numerical analysis methods to overcome the diffraction barrier of optical microscopy and assess grain orientation information. …”
