This paper analytically and numerically investigates misalignment and mode-mismatch-induced power coupling coefficients and losses as a function of Hermite-Gauss (HG) mode order. We show that higher-order HG modes are more susceptible to beam perturbations when, for example, coupling into optical cavities: the misalignment and mode-mismatch-induced power coupling losses scale linearly and quadratically with respect to the mode indices, respectively. As a result, the mode-mismatch tolerance for the ${{\rm HG}_{3,3}}$ mode is reduced to a factor of 0.28 relative to the currently used ${{\rm HG}_{0,0}}$ mode. This is a potential hurdle to using higher-order modes to reduce thermal noise in future gravitational-wave detectors.

High-energy extensions to general relativity modify the Einstein-Hilbert action with higher-order curvature corrections and theory-specific coupling constants. The order of these corrections imprints a universal curvature dependence on observations while the coupling constant controls the deviation strength. In this Letter, we leverage the theory-independent expectation that modifications to the action of a given order in spacetime curvature (Riemann tensor and contractions) lead to observational deviations that scale with the system length scale to a corresponding power.

Studying the properties and phase diagram of iron at high-pressure and high-temperature conditions has relevant implications for Earth's inner structure and dynamics and the temperature of the inner core boundary (ICB) at 330 GPa. Also, a hexagonal-closed packed to body-centered cubic (bcc) phase transition has been predicted by many theoretical works but observed only in a few experiments. The recent coupling of high-power laser with advanced x-ray sources from synchrotrons allows for novel approaches to address these issues.

The rapid advancements in 3C electronic devices necessitate an increase in the charge cutoff voltage of LiCoO to unlock a higher energy density that surpasses the currently available levels. However, the structural devastation and electrochemical decay of LiCoO are significantly exacerbated, particularly at ≥4.5 V, due to the stress concentration caused by more severe lattice expansion and shrinkage, coupled with heterogeneous Li intercalation/deintercalation reactions.

The assessment of electronic structure descriptions utilized in the simulation of the ultrafast excited-state dynamics of Fe(II) complexes is presented. Herein, we evaluate the performance of the RPBE, OPBE, BLYP, B3LYP, B3LYP*, PBE0, TPSSh, CAM-B3LYP, and LC-BLYP (time-dependent) density functional theory (DFT/TD-DFT) methods in full-dimensional trajectory surface hopping (TSH) simulations carried out on linear vibronic coupling (LVC) potentials. We exploit the existence of time-resolved X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) data for the [Fe(bmip)] and [Fe(terpy)] prototypes for dynamics between metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) and metal-centered (MC) states, which serve as a reference to benchmark the calculations (bmip = 2,6-bis(3-methyl-imidazole-1-ylidine)-pyridine, terpy = 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine).
