This Letter demonstrates the nonlinear conversion of asymmetric perfect vortex (APV) beams with fractional orbital angular momentum (OAM). By controlling the amplitude and phase of the fundamental light field, we create APVs whose global OAM demonstrates a one-to-one correspondence of the charge numbers for fractional OAM values. The results show that the OAM of the second-harmonic generation fields follow the OAM conservation law. The nonlinear interactions of multiple OAM beams with the APVs are also investigated as they relate to the nonlinear frequency conversion and are shown to exhibit unique frequencies as a result of the Doppler frequency tagged OAM values.

Recently, vortex beams have been widely studied and applied because they carry orbital angular momentum (OAM). It is widely acknowledged in the scientific community that fractional OAM does not typically exhibit stable propagation; notably, the notion of achieving stable propagation with dual-fractional OAM within a single optical vortex has been deemed impracticable. Here, we address the scientific problem through the combined modulation of phase and polarization, resulting in the generation of a dual-fractional OAM vector vortex beam that can stably exist in free space.

Background: Sustained attention deficits were reported more significant in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) than in healthy controls (HCs), and are pivotal in both the development and aggravation of depression. Childhood trauma is also common in MDD and the exposure to childhood trauma may impede sustained attention and increase the treatment resistance in MDD. However, the underlying neuro-mechanisms link the childhood trauma to sustained attention deficits in MDD remain unclear.

Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional theory (DFT) is an extremely popular, in-principle exact method, which can describe any many-electron system by introducing an auxiliary system of noninteracting electrons with the same density. When the number of electrons, , changes continuously, taking on both integer and fractional values, the density has to be piecewise-linear, with respect to . In this article, I explore how the piecewise-linearity property of the exact interacting density is reflected in the KS system.

Density functional theory for fractional charge: Locality, size consistency, and exchange-correlation.

We show that the exact universal density functional of integer electronic charge leads to an extension to fractional charge in an asymptotic sense when it is applied to a system made of asymptotically separated densities. The extended functional is asymptotically local and is said to be i-local. The concept of i-locality is also applicable to nuclear external potentials, and a natural association exists between the localities of a density and a set of nuclei.

Dynamic amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation links dark personalities to malevolent creative behavior.

Malevolent creativity refers to the ability to generate ideas that cause harm to oneself or others. While previous research has touched on how personality traits influence malevolent creative behavior, the neural mechanisms involved remain underexplored. This study investigated the brain patterns associated with malevolent creative behavior and how these patterns are mediated by dark personality traits (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) and positive traits (internalization, symbolization, and honesty-humility).
