Green's tensors for photonic crystal (PC) slabs are numerically solved by the coupled-dipole approximation (CDA) technique. The obtained components of Green's tensors satisfy discontinuous or continuous conditions at interfaces of scatterers. This shows that the CDA technique is very applicable to studying the properties of PC slabs. Green's tensors exhibit obviously periodic oscillation with the increase of the number of scatterers; furthermore, the effect of each scatterer on Green's tensors displays a localization feature in the sample containing one row of scatterers; on the contrary, this localized effect disappears in the sample consisting of multiple rows of scatterers.

Accurate characterisation of seismic source mechanisms in mining environments is crucial for effective hazard mitigation, but it is complicated by the presence of anisotropic geological conditions. Neglecting anisotropic effects during moment tensor (MT) inversion introduces significant distortions in the retrieved source characteristics. In this study, we investigated the impact of ignoring anisotropy during MT inversion on the reliability of hazard assessment.

Light emission by metals at room temperature is quenched by fast relaxation processes. Nevertheless, Mooradian reported in 1969 the observation of photoluminescence by metals pumped by a laser. While this phenomenon is currently at the heart of many promising applications, it is still poorly understood.

We present an efficient MPI-parallel algorithm and its implementation for evaluating the self-consistent correlated second-order exchange term (SOX), which is employed as a correction to the fully self-consistent GW scheme called scGWSOX (GW plus the SOX term iterated to achieve full Green's function self-consistency). Due to the application of the tensor hypercontraction (THC) in our computational procedure, the scaling of the evaluation of scGWSOX is reduced from O(nτnAO5) to O(nτN2nAO2). This fully MPI-parallel and THC-adapted approach enabled us to conduct the largest fully self-consistent scGWSOX calculations with over 1100 atomic orbitals with only negligible errors attributed to THC fitting.

Multi-functional nanoparticle thin films are being used in various applications ranging from biosensing to photo-voltaics. In this study, we integrate two different numerical approaches to understand the interplay between the mechanical deformation and optical response of polymer grafted plasmonic nanoparticle (PGPN) arrays. Using numerical simulations we examine the deformation of thin films formed by end-functionalised polymer grafted nanoparticles subject to uniaxial elongation.

We develop a theory for heat transport via electromagnetic waves inside media, and use it to derive a spatially nonlocal thermal conductivity tensor, in terms of the electromagnetic Green's function and potential, for any given system. While typically negligible for optically dense bulk media, the electromagnetic component of conductivity can be significant for optically dilute media, and shows regimes of Fourier transport as well as unhindered transport. Moreover, the electromagnetic contribution is relevant even for dense media, when in the presence of interfaces, as exemplified for the in-plane conductivity of a nanosheet, which shows a variety of phenomena, including absence of a Fourier regime.
