Published: June 2020

The counterpart of the rotating wave approximation for non-Hermitian Hamiltonians is considered, which allows for the derivation of a suitable effective Hamiltonian for systems with some states undergoing decay. In the limit of very high decay rates, on the basis of this effective description we can predict the occurrence of a quantum Zeno dynamics, which is interpreted as the removal of some coupling terms and the vanishing of an operatorial pseudo-Lamb shift.

A study is presented of a method for creating an acoustic flow sensor that is generally compatible with current silicon microfabrication processes. An aim of this effort is to obtain a design consisting of a minimal departure from the existing designs employed in mass-produced silicon microphones. Because the primary component in all of these microphones is the cavity behind the pressure-sensing diaphragm, we begin with a study of the acoustic particle velocity within a cavity in a planar surface.

Recent advances in machine learning have facilitated numerically accurate solution of the electronic Schrödinger equation (SE) by integrating various neural network (NN)-based wave function ansatzes with variational Monte Carlo methods. Nevertheless, such NN-based methods are all based on the Born-Oppenheimer approximation (BOA) and require computationally expensive training for each nuclear configuration. In this work, we propose a novel NN architecture, SchrödingerNet, to solve the full electronic-nuclear SE by defining a loss function designed to equalize local energies across the system.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to elucidate the sensitizing effect of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) on shear wave elastography (SWE) and to investigate the potential application of MSNs as a sensitizer to enhance the sensitivity of SWE in the diagnosis of metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).

Materials And Methods: The in vitro gelatin models with varying ratios were assessed using SWE to identify the gelatin ratio that most closely approximates with human liver stiffness. Following the characterization of the dispersion properties of MSNs, in vitro models incorporating MSNs of different particle sizes were developed.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers are exploring renewable energy sources like solar cell technology to replace fossil fuels and reduce environmental impacts, focusing on lead-free halide perovskite compounds CsXInBr (where X is Cu or Ag).
  • The study found that CsAgInBr and CsCuInBr compounds exhibit desirable properties for solar applications, with calculated optical gaps and high absorption coefficients, particularly noting CsCuInBr's effectiveness in absorbing sunlight due to its high infrared absorption.
  • The analysis utilized the Abinit computational package and density functional theory (DFT) to evaluate the electronic, structural, and optical characteristics of these compounds, framing potential applications in solar cells and detectors.
