Information potential was initially contextualized for adaptive systems training in the information-theoretic learning field to quantify information in probability density functions. Recently, the information potential has been extended to sample sets whose systems are defined by n-dimensional Gaussian random variables. This paper proposes a preservation law that involves information potential and Jensen-variance distance between two n-dimensional Gaussian random variables. The result is applied to stationary Gaussian processes to derive the variance-distance rate (VDR), which only depends on sample size and not on the weighted parameter of Jensen-variance distance. Moreover, a Blackman–Tukey spectral density estimator was used to estimate the VDR between two stationary Gaussian processes. The fractional difference noise process was studied, where an asymptotic form was derived and an upper bound given. The results highlight the good performance of the proposed estimator, as the estimated VDRs closely match the theoretical ones when the fractional difference noise processes are stationary.

A theoretical model describing the implosion dynamics of the double-shell capsules for high neutron yield was developed based on the steady-state ablation theory and the strong shock wave theory. An optimal capsule structure for the 100 kJ facility is proposed through a theoretical optimization process, achieving a neutron yield of 9.46 × 1011 with DD fuel in 1D simulations using the radiation hydrodynamic code MULTI. Then the theoretical capsule is optimized further via the combination of random walk and genetic algorithms, leading to a neutron yield of 1.56 × 1012, that is, 65% improvement over the theoretical prediction. Compared to the theoretical optimization results, the machine learning optimization method gives a thinner inner shell and a thicker foam cushion layer, leading to an improved laser drive efficiency. Finally, an optimal capsule design can achieve a fusion yield of 8.46 MJ for DT fuel with a scaled energy of 1.5 MJ by employing hydro-equivalent implosions. The results provide valuable theoretical references for the experimental design of double-shell capsules.

A spherically averaged, Hartree-Fock–augmented APW–like method is proposed for metals. Each valence orbital is described by a Hartree-Fock radial solution inside the Wigner-Seitz (WS) sphere and is matched in value and slope at the WS boundary to a free–electron exterior with mild exponential damping. A constant interstitial exchange–like shift sets the effective exterior wave number keff, which is estimated from LDA exchange at the density parameter rs; an optional scalar–relativistic mapping is included. The resulting orbitals are bound–like near the ion and extended outside the WS sphere, bridging atomic and metallic behavior with a minimal, transparent set of parameters. Electron momentum densities are computed and aggregated into Compton profiles for direct comparison with experiment, yielding close agreement with high–resolution measurements. While APW–like in spirit, the approach does not enforce Bloch periodicity or full self–consistency; instead, it provides a lightweight, reproducible, physically motivated parameterization.

Quantum vacuum fluctuations, one of the cornerstone of quantum physics, have many physical effects including the Casimir force, stimulating researchers in various disciplines of the scientific community. This manuscript demonstrates the manipulation of Casimir force between two closely spaced identical parallel plates under the effect of cross-Kerr nonlinearity with electromagnetically induced chirality. We use the Casimir-Lifshitz formula in connection with passivity conditions and obtain the sign of the Casimir force which, for the attractive Casimir force, is positive, whereas for the repulsive Casimir force, it is negative. We notice that by controlling the cross-Kerr field Rabi frequency, Casimir force switches from attractive to repulsive and contrariwise. Our findings reveal a pronounce enhancement in the magnitude of Casimir force via the cross-Kerr field, which may in turn be helpful to enhance the lifetimes of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS).

The study of Cu clusters is a critical research topic in the field of Fe-based nanocrystalline alloys. Herein, nanocrystalline Fe40.5Co40.5Zr7Mo2B9Cu1 alloys were prepared by annealing an as-quenched alloy. The first onset crystallization temperature (Tx1), first crystallization peak temperature (Tp1), second onset crystallization temperature (Tx2), and second crystallization peak temperature (Tp2) determined by differential scanning calorimetry were selected as annealing temperatures. The alloy subjected to annealing was investigated in terms of microstructural evolution and magnetic properties, such as Cu-specific differences between the as-quenched sample and those annealed at Tp1 and Tp2. The as-quenched alloy was amorphous and featured a uniform elemental distribution and composition comparable with the nominal one. In the alloy annealed at Tp1, the Co content of nanocrystals was similar to that of the residual amorphous matrix, whereas the Cu distribution was heterogeneous and characterized by clusters with sizes less than 7 nm. The alloy annealed at Tp2 exhibited fewer but larger Cu clusters and higher Co contents in Fe-deficient areas. Furthermore, lower Co contents were observed in Fe(Co) grains, and Cu nanocrystals were not detected by transmission electron microscopy. With increasing temperature, coercivity decreased and then increased, whereas specific saturation magnetization increased and then decreased.

The attenuation of extreme acoustic environments in space launch vehicles, payload fairings, and space habitats requires advanced materials capable of maintaining high acoustic attenuation performance across a wide range of frequencies and sound pressure levels. Conventional passive treatments often fail to deliver sufficient performance under such variable conditions. This research presents a unified analytical framework for designing and modeling complex acoustic metamaterials for such applications. The framework captures broadband, amplitude-dependent, and multi-resonant behavior of metamaterials, accounting for nonlinear interactions and mutual coupling effects that become dominant under intense acoustic loads. Validation is carried out through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and ASTM E2611-compliant experimental testing. The results show excellent agreement across linear and non-linear domains and offer a highly efficient computational method for predicting acoustic performance compared to conventional design and analysis techniques of lightweight acoustic metamaterials.

This paper proposes a switchable metasurface absorber/reflector based on PIN diode modulation, featuring a simple structure, similar TE/TM responses in the symmetric states, and independently switchable functionaity. By dynamically controlling the PIN diodes, the metasurface can flexibly switch to four working states("00", "01", "10" and "11"). A dual-bias achitecture, composed of orthogonal horizontal and vertical configurations, allows independent regulation of two polarization channels while eliminating the need for complex biasing circuits. The good agreement between waveguide measurements and full-wave simulations corroborates the effectiveness of the proposed design. The metasurface’s reconfigurability enables it to adapt to complex electromagnetic environments, which enables practical applicability in intelligent EM control, radar stealth, and reconfigurable antennas.

We investigate the non-Hermitian dimerized Kitaev model with intracell and intercell nonreciprocal hopping. In the Hermitian case, the topologically nontrivial phase region expands with increasing on-site potentials when the two sublattices have the same sign, but shrinks when their signs differ. When nonreciprocal hopping is introduced and on-site potentials share the same sign, the topologically nontrivial phase region gradually narrows as the nonreciprocity grows, accompanied by the emergence of the non-Hermitian skin effect–mainly dominated by intracell nonreciprocity. The skin direction characterized by the spectral winding number, correlates with the real part of the energy spectrum, which displays a Z2 character protected by particle-hole symmetry. Conversely, when on-site potentials have opposite signs, the topological phase region widens with increasing nonreciprocity up to a critical value, beyond which it splits into two branches. Notably, the skin effect vanishes because opposite on-site potentials induce skin effects in opposing directions, balancing the system and allowing a topological phase to emerge. Our result provides a strategy for controlling the appearance and disappearance of the non-Hermitian skin effect by tuning on-site potentials in dimerized topological superconductors.

We have synthesized the hybrid material 1, 6-diaminhexane tetrachloro manganate (2C6MnCl4) by slow evaporation at room temperature. The compound 2C6MnCl4 was characterized by X-ray Powder Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray and UV-Visible spectroscopies. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis performed at various temperatures (290, 250, 200, 160, and 150 K) reveals a structural phase transition occurring between 250 and 200 K. The optical measurements show that this hybrid material undergoes an indirect optical transition and presents an energy gap value of about 2.78 eV. The optical reflectance spectrum shows three absorption bands at 361, 422, and 507 nm. The computed band gap electronic was found to be about 2.75 eV which is in good agreement with the experimental value. The electronic total and partial density of states were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) to assess the various orbitals' contributions at the minimum conduction band and maximal valence band.

The concept of soliton gas has become well-known in recent years and the soliton gas has been studied by using various methods. The letter will approach this topic from a perspective of mathematical physics by constructing a Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz model, treating N-soliton solutions of the Sawada-Kotera equation as N quasi-particles. As the number N of the solitons approaches infinity, the N-soliton system will evolve into a soliton gas of the Sawada-Kotera equation. By deriving the corresponding physical concepts, the kinetic equation associated with this soliton gas is derived immediately. This work will inspire the study of soliton gas of other physically important integrable systems.

This work will inspire the study of soliton gas of other physically important integrable systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20172,"journal":{"name":"Physics Letters A","volume":"575 ","pages":"Article 131355"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146081010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
