We propose a new approach for estimating the electrostatic part of the excitation energy transfer (EET) coupling between electronically excited chromophores based on the transition density-derived cumulative atomic multipole moments (TrCAMM). In this approach, the transition potential of a chromophore is expressed in terms of truncated distributed multipolar expansion and analytical formulas for the TrCAMMs are derived. The accuracy and computational feasibility of the proposed approach is tested against the exact Coulombic couplings, and various multipole expansion truncation schemes are analyzed. The results of preliminary calculations show that the TrCAMM approach is capable of reproducing the exact Coulombic EET couplings accurately and efficiently and is superior to other widely used schemes: the transition charges from electrostatic potential (TrESP) and the transition density cube (TDC) method.

Symmetry-protected quasi-bound states in the continuum (qBICs) in metasurfaces with broken in-plane symmetry are extensively investigated to achieve high quality-factor (Q-factor) resonances. Herein, we propose the hetero-out-of-plane (H-OP) dielectric metasurface, which is composed of Si cuboids tetramer broken out-of-plane symmetry by adding a layer of silica. Dual polarization-independent qBICs are realized.

Developing the multipolar-polarizable AMOEBA force field for large molecules presents its own set of complexities. However, by segmenting the molecules into smaller fragments and ensuring that each fragment is transferable to other systems, the process of parameterizing large molecules such as fatty acids can be simplified without compromising accuracy. In this study, we present a fragment-based AMOEBA FF development for long-chain fatty acid ionic liquids (LCFA-ILs).

The multipolar expansion of the electromagnetic field plays a key role in the study of light-matter interactions. All the information about the radiation and coupling between the incident wavefield and the object is embodied in the electric and magnetic scattering coefficients of the expansion. However, the experimental determination of requires measuring the components of the scattered field in all directions, something that is exceptionally challenging.

Attempts to dissociate electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) therapeutic efficacy from cognitive side effects of ECT include modifying electrode placement, but traditional electrode placements employing 2 large electrodes are inherently nonfocal, limiting the ability to selectively engage targets associated with clinical benefit while avoiding nontargets associated with adverse side effects. Limited focality represents a technical limitation of conventional ECT, and there is growing evidence that the spatial distribution of the ECT electric fields induced in the brain drives efficacy and side effects. Computational models can be used to predict brain current flow patterns for existing and novel ECT montages.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores different methods for modeling electron density and electrostatic potential in organometallic complexes, particularly focusing on iron(III) acetylacetonate (FeAcAc) using electron diffraction (ED) data.
- The research compares the independent atom model (IAM) and the transferable aspherical atom model (TAAM), demonstrating that TAAM provides a more accurate representation of scattering factors and improves model fitting.
- Results showed significant improvements in fitting statistics (R values), indicating that TAAM outperforms IAM by providing better results in both 3D electron diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, especially in low-resolution data.
