Published: September 2010

An efficient numerical strategy to compute the higher-order dispersion parameters of optical waveguides is presented. For the first time to our knowledge, a systematic study of the errors involved in the higher-order dispersions' numerical calculation process is made, showing that the present strategy can accurately model those parameters. Such strategy combines a full-vectorial finite element modal solver and a proper finite difference differentiation algorithm. Its performance has been carefully assessed through the analysis of several key geometries. In addition, the optimization of those higher-order dispersion parameters can also be carried out by coupling to the present scheme a genetic algorithm, as shown here through the design of a photonic crystal fiber suitable for parametric amplification applications.

Competition between Halogen Atom and Ring of Halobenzenes as Hydrogen Bond Electron Donor Sites.

Chemphyschem

A halobenzene molecule contains several sites that are capable of acting in an electron-donating capacity within a H-bond.  One set of such sites comprise the lone electron pairs of the halogen (X) atoms on the periphery of the ring.  The π-electron system above the ring plane can also fulfill this function in many cases.

This study offers a comprehensive analysis of the Perturbed Schrödinger -Hirota Equation (PSHE), crucial for understanding soliton dynamics in modern optical communication systems. We extended the traditional Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (NLSE) to include higher-order nonlinearities and spatiotemporal dispersion, capturing the complexities of light pulse propagation. Employing the modified auxiliary equation method and Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM), we derived a spectrum of exact traveling wave solutions, encompassing exponential, rational, trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions.

Exploiting Seeded RAFT Polymerization for the Preparation of Graft Copolymer Nanoparticles.

Macromol Rapid Commun

November 2024

Department of Polymeric Materials and Engineering, School of Materials and Energy, Guangdong University of Technology, Guangzhou, 510006, China.

Although seeded reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is explored as a unique method for the preparation of block copolymer nanoparticles with diverse structures, the preparation of nonlinear polymer nanoparticles by seeded RAFT polymerization is rarely reported. Herein, linear block copolymer nanoparticles are first prepared by RAFT dispersion copolymerization of benzyl methacrylate (BzMA) and 2-(2-(n-butyltrithiocarbonate)propionate)ethyl methacrylate (BTPEMA) with different [BzMA]/[BTPEMA] ratios, and employed as seeds for seeded RAFT polymerization of isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) to prepare graft copolymer nanoparticles with different numbers of PIBOA side chains. Comparing with linear triblock copolymers with the same chemical composition, the graft copolymers can promote the formation of higher-order morphologies (e.

The exploration of topological nodal point states has recently evolved, moving beyond traditional linear crossings to include higher-order dispersions and multifold degeneracies. This study utilizes first-principles calculations to uncover an ideal multifold nodal point of quadratic order in the binary skutterudite rhodium triarsenide. The band structures around this nodal point show not only simple configuration but also clean distribution.

Fractional Chern Insulators in Twisted Bilayer MoTe_{2}: A Composite Fermion Perspective.

Phys Rev Lett

November 2024

Department of Physics, Emory University, 400 Dowman Drive, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA.

The discovery of fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) in twisted bilayer MoTe_{2} has sparked significant interest in fractional topological matter without external magnetic fields. Unlike the flat dispersion of Landau levels, moiré electronic states are influenced by lattice effects within a nanometer-scale superlattice. This Letter examines the impact of these lattice effects on the topological phases in twisted bilayer MoTe_{2}, uncovering a family of FCIs with Abelian anyonic quasiparticles.
