Scattering of light from homogeneous spherical particles can exhibit sharp resonances as functions of particle size, wavelength, or refractive index. Such resonances, usually known as morphology-dependent resonances or whispering gallery modes, have been exhaustively studied using Mie theory. This paper demonstrates that the Debye series expansion provides a succinct and easily understood representation of these resonances: For example, the Debye coefficient 121 determines (a) the exact conditions for resonance, (b) the number of terms required to replicate the Mie result, and (c) the -factor of the resonance.

Commercial ethylene epoxidation catalysts consist of α-alumina supported Ag particles and usually contain a mixture of promoters. High selectivity catalysts typically include a small amount of rhenium species. We studied a series of Ag catalysts promoted with Re loadings up to 4 at% (Re/(Re + Ag)), which is intentionally higher than in optimized commercial catalysts to facilitate characterization and to amplify the influence on catalysis.

We report on the rotational diffusion dynamics of three chromophores (disodium fluorescein, oxazine 725, and perylene) in a series of choline chloride-ethylene glycol (ChCl:EG) deep eutectic solvent (DES) systems. We observe behavior independent of DES bulk viscosity for the cationic and neutral probes and behavior that is consistent with stick-limit interactions for the modified Debye-Stokes-Einstein model for the anionic probe. This finding indicates that the anionic species is integral to the interactions between DES constituent species that are responsible for local organization, consistent with previous MD simulations that showed higher interaction energies associated with both the hydrogen bond donor (EG) and hydrogen bond acceptor (Ch) interactions with Cl in ChCl:EG mixtures.

Ptychographic extreme ultraviolet (EUV) diffractive imaging has emerged as a promising candidate for the next generationmetrology solutions in the semiconductor industry, as it can image wafer samples in reflection geometry at the nanoscale. This technique has surged attention recently, owing to the significant progress in high-harmonic generation (HHG) EUV sources and advancements in both hardware and software for computation. In this study, a novel algorithm is introduced and tested, which enables wavelength-multiplexed reconstruction that enhances the measurement throughput and introduces data diversity, allowing the accurate characterisation of sample structures.

Applying an excess entropy scaling formalism to the coarse-grained (CG) dynamics of liquids, we discovered that missing rotational motions during the CG process are responsible for artificially accelerated CG dynamics. In the context of the dynamic representability between the fine-grained (FG) and CG dynamics, this work introduces the well-known Stokes-Einstein and Stokes-Einstein-Debye relations to unravel the rotational dynamics underlying FG trajectories, thereby allowing for an indirect evaluation of the effective rotations based only on the translational information at the reduced CG resolution. Since the representability issue in CG modeling limits a direct evaluation of the shear stress appearing in the Stokes-Einstein and Stokes-Einstein-Debye relations, we introduce a translational relaxation time as a proxy to employ these relations, and we demonstrate that these relations hold for the ambient conditions studied in our series of work.
