Machine learning potentials (MLPs) can offer a powerful, cost-effective alternative to traditional quantum mechanical (QM) methods for simulating excited-state dynamics. In this work, we present a comprehensive comparison of two MLP models, SS-ANI and MS-ANI, by simulating the photochemical ring-opening dynamics of 1,3-cyclohexadiene (CHD). The ring-opening dynamics were investigated by using a Landau–Zener-based surface hopping algorithm. The training data sets were generated from QM-based surface hopping simulations at the SA-3-CASSCF/cc-pVDZ approach. We show that MS-ANI outperforms SS-ANI in modeling multiple electronic states, yielding more accurate energy predictions, stable energy gaps, and reliable population dynamics. MS-ANI effectively captures interstate correlations and ensures consistent energy profiles, making it robust for surface hopping dynamics. Data set quality and diversity were also found critical, with MS-ANI benefiting most from larger, well-curated data sets. These findings establish MS-ANI as a powerful, scalable approach for sufficiently accurate excited-state simulations in complex photochemical systems.

机器学习电位（mlp）可以为传统的量子力学（QM）方法模拟激发态动力学提供强大、经济的替代方案。本文通过模拟1,3-环己二烯（CHD）的光化学开环动力学，对SS-ANI和MS-ANI两种MLP模型进行了全面比较。采用基于landau - zener的表面跳跃算法研究了开环动力学。训练数据集是在SA-3-CASSCF/cc-pVDZ方法下基于qm的表面跳跃模拟中生成的。我们发现MS-ANI在建模多电子态方面优于SS-ANI，产生更准确的能量预测，稳定的能量缺口和可靠的种群动态。MS-ANI有效捕获州际相关性并确保一致的能量分布，使其对表面跳跃动力学具有鲁棒性。数据集的质量和多样性也至关重要，MS-ANI从规模更大、管理良好的数据集中获益最多。这些发现使MS-ANI成为一种强大的、可扩展的方法，可以在复杂的光化学系统中进行足够精确的激发态模拟。

Accurate quantum chemical treatment of covalently bonded biomolecules using fragment-based approaches remains a major challenge as fragmenting across covalent bonds disrupts essential electron correlation and long-range polarization. Importantly, a few of the previously developed fragment-based methods can accurately and efficiently treat both noncovalently and covalently bonded molecular systems, highlighting a significant gap in the field. A key novelty of the grid-adapted many-body analysis (GAMA) framework is that it overcomes this limitation. Building on our earlier work establishing GAMA for noncovalent systems, we extend this framework to covalently bonded biomolecules and develop GAMA2, a fully automated protocol that integrates a simple grid-based fragmentation scheme, many-body expansion with overlapping fragments truncated at two-body order, and a multilayer low-level correction. Across diverse peptides, ranging from flexible bioactive motifs to structured 18-mer helixes, GAMA2 reproduces supersystem MP2/6-311G(d,p) energies with unsigned absolute errors of ∼0.01-4 kcal/mol for flexible small- and medium-size peptide systems using HF as a low level of theory and ∼2-5 kcal/mol for complicated helical-type peptide structures when using M06-2X/6-311G(d,p) as the low-level method, showing substantial improvement over HF using accurate DFT-based methods. In addition to this highly accurate results, GAMA2 also demonstrate a significant computational speedup with HF as a super system low-level method relative to the reference full MP2 calculation, establishing GAMA2 as a scalable, efficient, and systematically improvable route for correlated quantum chemical calculations on biomolecular systems.

利用基于片段的方法对共价键生物分子进行精确的量子化学处理仍然是一个主要挑战，因为共价键之间的片段破坏了基本的电子相关和远程极化。重要的是，之前开发的一些基于片段的方法可以准确有效地处理非共价和共价键合的分子系统，这突出了该领域的重大空白。网格适应多体分析（GAMA）框架的一个关键新颖之处在于它克服了这一限制。在我们早期为非共价系统建立GAMA的基础上，我们将这一框架扩展到共价键合的生物分子，并开发了GAMA2，这是一种全自动协议，集成了简单的基于网格的碎片方案，多体扩展，重叠碎片在两体顺序截断，以及多层低水平校正。在不同的多肽中，从灵活的生物活性基序到结构化的18聚体螺旋，GAMA2再现了超系统MP2/6-311G（d,p）能量，对于灵活的中小型多肽体系，使用HF作为低水平理论，无符号绝对误差为~ 0.01-4 kcal/mol，对于复杂的螺旋型多肽结构，使用M06-2X/6-311G（d,p）作为低水平方法，再现了~ 2-5 kcal/mol的超系统MP2/6-311G(d,p)，与使用精确的基于dfs的HF方法相比，显示出了实质性的改进。除了这种高度精确的结果外，GAMA2还显示出与参考全MP2计算相比，HF作为超系统低级方法的计算速度显著提高，从而使GAMA2成为生物分子系统相关量子化学计算的可扩展、高效和系统改进的途径。

Emulating biological vision remains challenging due to the absence of integrated multispectral detection, nonvolatile memory, and real-time processing in existing technologies. We propose the Bioinspired NeuroFusion Motion Intelligence (BNMI) platform, which unifies multispectral sensing, in-sensor memory, and on-device computing for reliable perception from dim light to glare. The system employs dual-electrolyte-gated In2O3 transistors that emulate biological photoreceptors, providing stable, tunable, bidirectional photoresponses. Its all-integrated cross-band hardware convolution kernel (AICB-Conv) performs direct ultraviolet/infrared convolution, eliminating digitization delays while preserving spectral fidelity. Hardware-level fusion yields feature-aware representations resilient to spectral degradation such as UV overexposure or NIR attenuation. Demonstrated on M3SVD, MNIST, and custom video data sets, BNMI achieves efficient feature extraction and accurate motion decoding via integrated neural readouts. These results position BNMI as a neuromorphic multispectral vision paradigm for autonomous navigation, intelligent surveillance, and edge AI.

Motivated by the astonishingly broad spectrum of binding constants reported for interactions between peripheral proteins and membranes, we investigate possible reasons by analyzing a theoretical model of protein binding that involves seven identical contacts with the membrane surface. We demonstrate that, depending on the experimental design, the multiplicity of weak binding interactions can cause significant stretching of the binding curves. In the case of lipid surface titration by the excess of free protein in the bulk, this may result in "logarithmic binding", wherein the amount of bound protein is roughly proportional to a logarithm of its bulk concentration within many orders of magnitude. The origin of this logarithmic dependence is a gradual decrease in the average number of available contacts, accompanied by a corresponding redistribution of active contacts in the bound protein population, as the surface density of protein increases. We also show that the unbinding kinetics are described by stretched exponentials.

由于外周蛋白与膜之间相互作用的结合常数的广谱性令人惊讶，我们通过分析蛋白质结合的理论模型来研究可能的原因，该模型涉及与膜表面的七个相同的接触。我们证明，根据实验设计，弱结合相互作用的多重性会导致结合曲线的显著拉伸。在通过散装中过量的游离蛋白进行脂质表面滴定的情况下，这可能导致“对数结合”，其中结合蛋白的量在许多数量级内与其散装浓度的对数大致成正比。这种对数依赖关系的起源是随着蛋白质表面密度的增加，可用接触的平均数量逐渐减少，同时伴随着结合蛋白种群中相应的活性接触的重新分配。我们还表明，解结合动力学是由拉伸指数描述的。

While all-optical control of magnetism offers great potential for developing ultrafast spintronic devices, achieving rapid generation of transient magnetic states with long-term stability remains a significant challenge. Here, we propose that the relaxation of photoexcited electrons in a type-II spin-antiparallel heterostructure can give rise to multiple stable magnetic states. Photoinduced spin-dynamics simulations of the CrI3/CrBr3 heterostructure reveal an ultrafast phase transition from the antiferromagnetic (AFM) to the ferrimagnetic (FiM) state within 826 fs. The relaxation pathways and rates are found to be critically determined by the competition between electron-phonon coupling (EPC) and spin-orbit coupling (SOC). When electrons are initially excited to higher-energy states, both EPC and SOC strengths are enhanced 3-fold, thereby accelerating the phase transition to 346 fs. These findings advance our understanding of the dynamic coupling among spin, charge, and lattice degrees of freedom in ultrafast magnetic order transition, paving the way for the development of advanced nonvolatile memory and neuromorphic computing systems.

虽然磁的全光控制为开发超快自旋电子器件提供了巨大的潜力，但实现长期稳定的瞬态磁态的快速产生仍然是一个重大挑战。在这里，我们提出了ii型自旋反平行异质结构中光激发电子的弛豫可以产生多个稳定的磁态。光诱导自旋动力学模拟表明，CrI3/CrBr3异质结构在826 fs内发生了从反铁磁（AFM）到铁磁（FiM）的超快相变。发现弛豫路径和速率是由电子-声子耦合（EPC）和自旋-轨道耦合（SOC）之间的竞争决定的。当电子最初被激发到高能态时，EPC和SOC的强度都提高了3倍，从而加速了相变到346 fs。这些发现促进了我们对超快磁序跃迁中自旋、电荷和晶格自由度之间动态耦合的理解，为先进的非易失性存储器和神经形态计算系统的发展铺平了道路。

The long-wavelength periodic moiré potential in moiré superlattices strongly modifies electronic behavior and gives rise to correlated quantum phenomena. Recent works show that remote moiré electrostatic potentials (RMEPs) allow moiré superlattices to be created in untwisted two-dimensional materials. Achieving continuous and reversible control of such RMEPs is essential for dynamic modulation of correlated states. Here, using first-principles calculations, we investigate how external pressure modulates RMEPs generated by twisted transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers. We find that pressure can significantly enhance the RMEP amplitude by 50-100%. This enhancement originates from the amplified piezocharge density caused by pressure-strengthened lattice reconstruction. These findings highlight the crucial role of the piezoelectric effect in generating the RMEPs and identify pressure as an effective method for their dynamic tuning, thereby opening new opportunities for engineering moiré superlattices and correlated quantum states.

莫尔超晶格中的长波周期莫尔势强烈地改变了电子行为，并产生了相关的量子现象。最近的研究表明，远程莫尔维尔静电势（RMEPs）允许在非扭曲的二维材料中创建莫尔维尔超晶格。实现这种rmep的连续和可逆控制是动态调制相关状态的必要条件。在这里，使用第一性原理计算，我们研究了外部压力如何调节扭曲过渡金属二硫化物双分子层产生的rmep。我们发现压力可以显著提高RMEP振幅50-100%。这种增强来自于压力强化晶格重构引起的压电密度放大。这些发现强调了压电效应在产生rmep中的关键作用，并将压力确定为其动态调谐的有效方法，从而为工程莫尔纳米超晶格和相关量子态开辟了新的机会。

Understanding the mechanisms of UV-induced degradation is crucial for enhancing the UV stability of perovskite solar cells. The UV-driven structural dynamics of CH₃NH₃PbI₃ (MAPbI₃) are investigated using real-time TDDFT simulations, revealing that under the electron and hole excitation, the distortion of the inorganic framework is primarily driven by the electron occupation of Pb-p and I-p antibonding states, whereas in the hole case, it is mainly governed by the direct cooling induced distortion. We also found that UV accelerates the rotation of MA⁺ molecules. Further, a BDO molecule is introduced as a passivant, which suppresses structural distortions and provides multiphonon channels to dissipate carrier cooling energy. Experimental results confirm the UV-protective role of BDO, with suppressed PbI₂ formation and improved device stability. These results clarify the mechanism of UV-induced degradation in the MAPbI₃ perovskite and further elucidate how passivation molecules enhance the UV stability.

Schottky-barrier vertical organic field-effect transistors (SB-VOFETs) provide exceptional current densities and vertical integration through gate-modulated Schottky injection. However, conventional characterization methods have limited our understanding of their full operational envelope and inherent hybrid transistor-diode nature. In this work, we conduct comprehensive bias characterization across all operational regimes with SB-VOFET featuring nanoporous silver source electrodes. Our findings demonstrate that in addition to standard transistor operation the device acts as a gate-tunable Schottky diode over a broad voltage range, a behavior often overlooked. To explain this, we propose a hybrid dual-path model that encompasses gate-insensitive I-type and gate-tunable L-type currents, which is validated by technology computer-aided design simulations. By leveraging this gate-programmability, we demonstrate a reconfigurable rectifier within a single device, enabling dynamic switching between rectification and quasi-ohmic conduction. This work broadens the characterization perspective and unlocks the latent multifunctionality of SB-VOFETs for next-generation organic electronics.

肖特基势垒垂直有机场效应晶体管（sb - vofet）通过门调制肖特基注入提供卓越的电流密度和垂直集成。然而，传统的表征方法限制了我们对其完整操作包络和固有的晶体管-二极管混合性质的理解。在这项工作中，我们使用具有纳米多孔银源电极的SB-VOFET在所有操作制度下进行了全面的偏置表征。我们的研究结果表明，除了标准的晶体管操作外，该器件在宽电压范围内充当栅极可调谐肖特基二极管，这一行为经常被忽视。为了解释这一点，我们提出了一种混合双路模型，包括门不敏感的i型和门可调谐的l型电流，并通过计算机辅助设计仿真技术进行了验证。通过利用这种门可编程性，我们展示了在单个器件内的可重构整流器，实现了整流和准欧姆传导之间的动态切换。这项工作拓宽了表征视角，解锁了sb - vofet用于下一代有机电子的潜在多功能性。

This work broadens the characterization perspective and unlocks the latent multifunctionality of SB-VOFETs for next-generation organic electronics.","PeriodicalId":62,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.475,"publicationDate":"2026-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147471711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interfacial charge transfer in composite semiconductor channels provides a powerful and physically transparent route to achieving broadband and high-gain phototransistors, yet remains insufficiently explored in indium-free oxide-organic systems. Here, we report a broadband-responsive hybrid phototransistor based on an all-solution-processed composite channel composed of zinc-tin oxide (ZTO) and an organic bulk heterojunction PM6:Y6. In this architecture, amorphous ZTO serves primarily as a high-mobility, low-noise electron transport channel with excellent gate controllability, while the PM6:Y6 bulk heterojunction supplies strong and broadband optical absorption, enabling efficient photocarrier generation from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared region. Efficient interfacial charge transfer at the oxide/organic interface allows photogenerated electrons in the PM6:Y6 layer to be injected into the ZTO channel, where they are rapidly transported and amplified by the field-effect conduction pathway. Systematic optoelectronic characterizations reveal that the resulting high gain originates from interfacial carrier separation and accumulation at the composite channel, rather than from direct charge transport within the organic layer alone. As a result, the device exhibits pronounced photocurrent enhancement across the ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared spectral range, with a photosensitivity exceeding 5 orders of magnitude, a maximum responsivity of 9.13 × 103 A/W, and a specific detectivity on the order of 1015 Jones. By replacing indium-containing oxides with solution-processed ZTO, this work demonstrates that broadband high-gain photodetection can be realized without relying on indium-specific electronic properties. These results establish interfacial charge transfer as a general and scalable physical mechanism for designing indium-free, broadband, and high-performance oxide-based phototransistors.

复合半导体通道中的界面电荷转移为实现宽带和高增益光电晶体管提供了一条强大且物理透明的途径，但在无铟氧化有机系统中仍未得到充分探索。在这里，我们报道了一种基于锌锡氧化物（ZTO）和有机体异质结PM6:Y6组成的全溶液处理复合通道的宽带响应混合光电晶体管。在这种结构中，无定形ZTO主要作为高迁移率、低噪声的电子传输通道，具有优异的栅极可控性，而PM6:Y6体异质结提供强的宽带光吸收，实现从紫外到近红外区域的高效光载流子生成。氧化物/有机界面的高效界面电荷转移允许PM6:Y6层中的光生电子注入到ZTO通道中，在那里它们通过场效应传导途径快速传输和放大。系统的光电特性表明，所产生的高增益源于复合通道的界面载流子分离和积累，而不是仅仅来自有机层内的直接电荷传输。结果表明，该器件在紫外-可见-近红外光谱范围内表现出明显的光电流增强，光敏度超过5个数量级，最大响应率为9.13 × 103 a /W，比探测率为1015琼斯数量级。通过用溶液处理的ZTO取代含铟氧化物，这项工作表明，可以实现宽带高增益光探测，而不依赖于铟特有的电子特性。这些结果建立了界面电荷转移作为设计无铟、宽带和高性能氧化物基光电晶体管的通用和可扩展的物理机制。

Helicenes, characterized by intrinsic chiral geometry and mechanical flexibility, provide a promising organic platform for hosting and manipulating quantum states. By combining tight-binding modeling with topological band theory, we demonstrate that topologically nontrivial phases can emerge in helicenes in the presence of a gate electric field perpendicular to the molecular helix axis, as manifested by topological end states and large gap Chern numbers. In particular, the interplay between the gate electric field and mechanical strain yields rich topological phase diagrams, originating from the intrinsically coupled two-chain structure of helicenes, where the distinct electronic responses of the inner and outer chains to external perturbations lead to intricate gap overlap and band hybridization. Our work establishes helicenes as a versatile class of tunable topological materials with considerable potential for applications in molecular electronics and quantum devices.
