Correlated materials design - new methods and applications
Creators: name: Adler, Ran
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: In this thesis we continue the development of a novel scientific discipline, Correlated Materials Design, whose purpose is twofold: to design new useful materials, and to uncover the physics underlying correlated- electron materials. These two goals are believed to be related, since the best proof of the validity of a physical theory of correlated materials is the synthesis of materials with theory-predicted properties.We start by showing the necessity of correlated-electron treatment of materials. Specifically, non- correlated theory is not enough to predict the stability of strongly correlated materials. We review the possible solutions to this problem. The development of tools for correlated electrons is inherently complicated by the large size of the configuration space of the many-body problem of electrons, and subsequently by the complexity of the problem, and requires rigorous foundations, both theoretical and technical, where one finds mostly disparate solutions for special cases.Our new framework ("Portobello") can be used to put these disparate methods on common, robust theoretical footing, by using mathematical abstraction and modern programming ideas. We demonstrate the framework by building a phase diagram close to Mott and Anti-Ferromagnetic transition. Portobello makes available to a wide audience, a set of theoretical tools and ideas that were confined to a small community of researchers. The list of these is long, and includes charge-self-consistent computation of quantum-embedding algorithms. Algorithms like DFT+Gutzwiller and DFT+DMFT are implemented on top of the same framework, in the same bases, enabling more accurate comparison of the regimens that are accessible to each. Similarly, regular DFT and Dirac-DFT (relativistic DFT) are easily interchangeable andaccessible at the Quantum Embedding level.Next, we develop the details of a new theoretical correlated-electron method, Ghost-RISB (G-RISB)within Portobello, and implement it quickly, showing that such a new development can leverage the progress made by Portobello. This method is an extension of RISB (Gutzwiller) which produces more accurate free energies and spectral functions. This algorithm is demonstrated in full charge-self-consistent form on two example materials.In the second part of this thesis we demonstrate applications of our new tools. First - a newly discovered material, EuCd2Sb2, where we predict that the material is dominated by the Hund interaction. Last, we analyze the mechanisms behind the magnetic phase transitions in Uranium based materials, UGe2 and UTe2, where the full range of tools that we developed is necessary, including the Dirac formalism (for heavy electron calculations). We find that these very different materials are actually closely related, and can be mapped into an extended phase-diagram, which provides some explanation to observed physical phenomena, and allows us to make theoretical predictions in the spirit of Correlated Materials Design.

description: Lithium-ion batteries have found their way into myriad sectors of industry to drive electrification, decarbonization, and sustainability. A crucial aspect in ensuring their safe and optimal performance is monitoring their energy levels. In this paper, we present the first study on predicting the remaining energy of a battery cell undergoing discharge over wide current ranges from low to high C-rates. The complexity of the challenge arises from the cell's C-rate-dependent energy availability as well as its intricate electro-thermal dynamics especially at high C-rates. To address this, we introduce a new definition of remaining discharge energy and then undertake a systematic effort in harnessing the power of machine learning to enable its prediction. Our effort includes two parts in cascade. First, we develop an accurate dynamic model based on integration of physics with machine learning to capture a battery's voltage and temperature behaviors. Second, based on the model, we propose a machine learning approach to predict the remaining discharge energy under arbitrary C-rates and pre-specified cut-off limits in voltage and temperature. The experimental validation shows that the proposed approach can predict the remaining discharge energy with a relative error of less than 3% when the current varies between 0~8 C for an NCA cell and 0~15 C for an LFP cell. The approach, by design, is amenable to training and computation.

description: Background: Tumor therapeutics are aimed to affect tumor cells selectively while sparing healthy ones. For this purpose, a huge variety of different drugs are in use. Recently, also blockers of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) have been recognized to possess potentially beneficial effects in tumor therapy. As these channels are a frequent target of numerous drugs, we hypothesized that currently used tumor therapeutics might have the potential to block VGSCs in addition to their classical anti-cancer activity. In the present work, we have analyzed the imipridone TIC10, which belongs to a novel class of anti-cancer compounds, for its potency to interact with VGSCs. Methods: Electrophysiological experiments were performed by means of the patch-clamp technique using heterologously expressed human heart muscle sodium channels (hNav1.5), which are among the most common subtypes of VGSCs occurring in tumor cells. Results: TIC10 angular inhibited the hNav1.5 channel in a state- but not use-dependent manner. The affinity for the resting state was weak with an extrapolated Kr of about 600 μM. TIC10 most probably did not interact with fast inactivation. In protocols for slow inactivation, a half-maximal inhibition occurred around 2 µM. This observation was confirmed by kinetic studies indicating that the interaction occurred with a slow time constant. Furthermore, TIC10 also interacted with the open channel with an affinity of approximately 4 µM. The binding site for local anesthetics or a closely related site is suggested as a possible target as the affinity for the well-characterized F1760K mutant was reduced more than 20-fold compared to wild type. Among the analyzed derivatives, ONC212 was similarly effective as TIC10 angular, while TIC10 linear more selectively interacted with the different states. Conclusion: The inhibition of VGSCs at low micromolar concentrations might add to the anti-tumor properties of TIC10.

description: In this work, we investigate the Stark localization near the Aubry-André (AA) critical point. We perform careful studies for reporting system-dependent parameters, such as localization length, inverse participation ratio (IPR), and energy gap between the ground and first excited state, for characterizing the localization-delocalization transition. We show that the scaling exponents possessed by these key descriptors of localization are quite different from that of a pure AA model or Stark model. Near the critical point of the AA model, in the presence of Stark field of strength $h$, the localization length $ζ$ scales as $ζ\propto h^{-ν}$ with $ν\approx0.29$ which is different than both the pure AA model ($ν=1$) and Stark model ($ν\approx0.33$). The IPR in this case scales as IPR $\propto h^{s}$ with $s\approx0.096$ which is again significantly different than both the pure AA model ($s\approx0.33$) and Stark model ($s\approx0.33$). The energy gap, $Δ$, scales as $E\propto h^{νz}$, where $z\approx2.37$ which is however same as the pure AA model. Finally, we discuss how invoking a criticality inducing additional control parameter may help in designing better many-body quantum sensors. Quantum critical sensors exploit the venerability of the wavefunction near the quantum critical point against small parameter shifts. By incorporating a control parameter in the form of the quasi-periodic field, i.e., the AA potential, we show a significant advantage can be drawn in estimating an unknown parameter, which is considered here to be the Stark weak field strength, with high precision.

description: We present a family of local quantum channels whose steady-states exhibit stable mixed-state symmetry-protected topological (SPT) order. Motivated by recent experimental progress on "erasure conversion" techniques that allow one to identify ($\textit{herald}$) decoherence processes, we consider open systems with biased erasure noise, which leads to strongly symmetric heralded errors. We utilize this heralding to construct a local correction protocol that effectively confines errors into short-ranged pairs in the steady-state. Using a combination of numerical simulations and mean-field analysis, we show that our protocol stabilizes SPT order against a sufficiently low rate of decoherence. As the rate of heralded noise increases, SPT order is eventually lost through a directed percolation transition. We further find that while introducing unheralded errors destroys SPT order in the limit of long length- and time-scales, the correction protocol is sufficient for ensuring that local SPT order persists, with a correlation length that diverges as $ξ\sim (1-f_e)^{-1/2}$, where $f_e$ is the fraction of errors that are heralded.

description: Electrode/electrolyte interfaces play a crucial role in many electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies. Hence, a deep understanding of the interfacial structure, energetic alignment and processes is of high relevance and has triggered the development of a number of in situ and operando techniques. One approach for gaining information about the change in surface chemistry and structure on an atomic scale is reflection anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS). This review presents and discusses the continuing effort to evelop RAS as an in situ optical probe for solid-liquid interfaces under applied potentials. Experimental and computational basic principles are presented and key challenges of electrochemical RAS are highlighted. Furthermore, we exemplarily demonstrate the potential of the method for spectroelectrochemistry, focusing on indium phosphide- and gold-aqueous electrolyte interfaces as exemplary case studies, and outline research directions for battery systems.

description: Awareness or consciousness in the context of stimulus perception can directly be assessed in well controlled test situations with humans via the persons’ reports about their subjective experiences with the stimuli. Since we have no direct access to subjective experiences in animals, their possible awareness or consciousness in stimulus perception tasks has often been inferred from behavior and cognitive abilities previously observed in aware and conscious humans. Here, we analyze published human data primarily on event-related potentials and brain-wave generation during perception and responding to sensory stimuli and extract neural markers (mainly latencies of evoked-potential peaks and of gamma-wave occurrence) indicating that a person became aware or conscious of the perceived stimulus. These neural correlates of consciousness were then applied to sets of corresponding data from various animals including several species of mammals, and one species each of birds, fish, cephalopods, and insects. We found that the neural markers from studies in humans could also successfully be applied to the mammal and bird data suggesting that species in these animal groups can become subjectively aware of and conscious about perceived stimuli. Fish, cephalopod and insect data remained inconclusive. In an evolutionary perspective we have to consider that both awareness of and consciousness about perceived stimuli appear as evolved, attention-dependent options added to the ongoing neural activities of stimulus processing and action generation. Since gamma-wave generation for functional coupling of brain areas in aware/conscious states is energetically highly cost-intensive, it remains to be shown which animal species under which conditions of lifestyle and ecological niche may achieve significant advantages in reproductive fitness by drawing upon these options. Hence, we started our discussion about awareness and consciousness in animals with the question in how far these expressions of brain activity are necessary attributes for perceiving stimuli and responding in an adaptive way.

description: We study the integrability of two-dimensional theories that are obtained by a dimensional reduction of certain four-dimensional gravitational theories describing the coupling of Maxwell fields and neutral scalar fields to gravity in the presence of a potential for the neutral scalar fields. For a certain solution subspace, we demonstrate partial integrability by showing that a subset of the equations of motion in two dimensions are the compatibility conditions for a linear system. Subsequently, we study the integrability of these two-dimensional models from a complementary one-dimensional point of view, framed in terms of Liouville integrability. In this endeavour, we employ various machine learning techniques to systematise our search for numerical Lax pair matrices for these models, as well as conserved currents expressed as functions of phase space variables.

description: We present a novel semi-analytical method for parton evolution. It is based on constructing a family of analytic functions spanning $x$-space which is closed under the considered evolution equation. Using these functions as a basis, the original integro-differential evolution equation transforms into a system of coupled ordinary differential equations, which can be solved numerically by restriction to a suitably chosen finite subsystem. The evolved distributions are obtained as analytic functions in $x$ with numerically obtained coefficients, providing insight into the analytic behavior of the evolved parton distributions. As a proof-of-principle, we apply our method to the leading order non-singlet and singlet DGLAP equation. Comparing our results to traditional Mellin-space methods, we find good agreement. The method is implemented in the code $\texttt{POMPOM}$ in $\texttt{Mathematica}$ as well as in $\texttt{Python}$.

description: Background In forensic psychiatry, psychopharmacological treatment plays a crucial role for patients with schizophrenia in improving their medical as well as legal prognosis. However, an increase in the number of females entering forensic treatment has yet to yield empirical research on the outcome of psychopharmacological treatment of female patients with schizophrenia in terms of efficacy and tolerability. Aims The aim of the present study is to elucidate pharmacological treatment strategies of women with schizophrenia in forensic psychiatry in comparison with men. Methods This study compares psychopharmacological treatment strategies, psychopathological features, as well as neurological and metabolic side effects of treatment between 29 female and 29 male in-patients with schizophrenia in three forensic facilities in Bavaria, Germany. Results Results show significant differences between genders. Poorer psychopathological and neurological features were found in the female sample, while men registered worse metabolic parameters. In terms of psychopharmacological treatment strategies, female in-patients were more often prescribed second-generation depot antipsychotics. Surprisingly, the potency of the dosages did not differ between genders. The results suggest that female forensic patients with schizophrenia have more severe and refractory diseases than their male counterparts. Conclusion Recommendations for gender-specific treatment strategies are derived.

description: In sufficiently clean materials where electron-electron interactions are strong compared to momentum-relaxing scattering processes, electron transport resembles the flow of a viscous fluid. We study hydrodynamic electron transport across density interfaces (n-n junctions) in a 2DEG in the Corbino geometry. From numerical simulations in COMSOL using realistic parameters, we show that we can produce tunable viscous layers at the density interface by varying the density ratio of charge carriers. We quantitatively explain this observation with simple analytic expressions together with boundary conditions at the interface. We also show signatures of these viscous layers in the magnetoresistance. Breaking down viscous and ohmic contributions, we find that when outer radial region of the Corbino has higher charge density compared to the inner region, the viscous layers at the interface serve to suppress the magneto-resistance produced by momentum-relaxing scattering. Conversely, the magneto-resistance is enhanced when the inner region has higher density than the outer. Our results add to the repertoire of techniques for engineering viscous electron flows, which hold a promise for applications in future electronic devices.

The mechanism eliminates all constant contributions from the potential to the Friedmann equation, leaving only the kinematic and the dynamic terms of the potential to drive cosmic acceleration. We explore a scenario involving a density-triggered phase transition in the late-time universe, and argue that the resulting effective energy density and equation of state parameter can explain late-time cosmology when extrapolated to a region of the parameter space.

description: Background In Germany, geriatricians deliver acute geriatric care during an acute hospital stay and subacute rehabilitation after transfer to a rehabilitation clinic. However, the proportion of patients who receive acute geriatric care (AGC) or are transferred to subacute rehabilitation (TSR) differs considerably between hospitals. The aim of this study was to analyse the association between the two geriatric treatment systems and care home admission or mortality in patients following hip fracture. Methods Health insurance claims data were used to identify the rate of AGC per hospital and the rate of TSR per hospital following hip fracture surgery in patients aged ≥ 80 years. Outcomes were cumulative admission to a care home and cumulative mortality within 6 months after hospital admission. Results Data from 23,046 hip fracture patients from 561 hospitals were analysed. The rate of AGC was not associated with care home admission. However, compared to high rates of AGC medium rates or no AGC were associated with increased death rates by 12% or 20%, respectively. Treatment in hospitals with low rates of TSR was associated with a 8% higher risk of care home admission and a 10% increased risk of death compared to treatment in hospitals with high rates of TSR. Conclusions Our study suggests potential effects of geriatric treatment: reduction of mortality in hospitals with high rates of AGC or reduction of care home admission and mortality in hospitals with high rates of TSR.

description: We investigate the effects of large inhomogeneities in both the inflaton field and its momentum. We find that in general, large kinetic perturbations reduce the number of e-folds of inflation. In particular, we observe that inflationary models with sub-Planckian characteristic scales are not robust even to kinetic energy densities that are sub-dominant to the potential energy density, unless the initial field configuration is sufficiently far from the minimum. This strengthens the results of our previous work. In inflationary models with super-Planckian characteristic scales, despite a reduction in the number of e-folds, inflation is robust even when the potential energy density is initially sub-dominant. For the cases we study, the robustness of inflation strongly depends on whether the inflaton field is driven into the reheating phase by the inhomogeneous scalar dynamics.

description: In this work, we report, for the first time, an implementation of fermionic auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) using matrix product state (MPS) trial wavefunctions, dubbed MPS-AFQMC. Calculating overlaps between an MPS trial and arbitrary Slater determinants up to a multiplicative error, a crucial subroutine in MPS-AFQMC, is proven to be #P-hard. Nonetheless, we tested several promising heuristics in successfully improving fermionic phaseless AFQMC energies. We also proposed a way to evaluate local energy and force bias evaluations free of matrix product operators. This allows for larger basis set calculations without significant overhead. We showcase the utility of our approach on one- and two-dimensional hydrogen lattices, even when the MPS trial itself struggles to obtain high accuracy. Our work offers a new set of tools that can solve currently challenging electronic structure problems with future improvements.

description: We study the charge and mass distributions within a nucleon and compute the associated squared radii based on a potential model approach. Different constituent quark configurations such as $Δ$, $Y$, and quark-diquark are considered and compared, with model parameters calibrated by experimental measurements of the proton and neutron charge radius. The results suggest that while the charge radius is dictated by quark dynamics, the mass radius is strongly influenced by nonperturbative QCD contributions to a nucleon's mass that are not sensitive to the constituent quarks. As a result, the mass radius could become substantially different from the charge radius. The obtained nucleon mass distributions of different configurations are further used for simulations of the initial conditions in heavy ion collisions. The computed eccentricities $\varepsilon_2$ and $\varepsilon_3$ are found to demonstrate a considerable sensitivity to the input nucleon profiles, especially to the mass radius in the peripheral region as well as for systems with fewer participants.

description: Contractile biopolymer networks, such as the actomyosin meshwork of animal cells, are ubiquitous in living organisms. The active gel theory, which provides the thermodynamic framework for these materials, has been mostly used in conjunction with the assumption that the microstructure of the biopolymer network is based on rigid rods. However, experimentally, crosslinked actin network exhibits entropic elasticity. Here we combine an entropic elasticity kinetic theory, in the spirit of the Green and Tobolsky model of transiently crosslinked networks, with an active flux modelling biological activity. We determine this active flux using Onsager reciprocal relations and interpret the corresponding microscopic dynamics. We obtain a closed-form model of the macroscopic mechanical behaviour. We show how this model can be written using the framework of multiplicative strain gradient decomposition, which is convenient for the resolution of such problems.

description: The advent of Open Radio Access Network (RAN) has revolutionized the field of RAN by introducing elements of native support of intelligence and openness into the next generation of mobile network infrastructure. Open RAN paves the way for standardized interfaces and enables the integration of network applications from diverse vendors, thereby enhancing network management flexibility. However, control decision conflicts occur when components from different vendors are deployed together. This article provides an overview of various types of conflicts that may occur in Open RAN, with a particular focus on intra-component conflict mitigation among Extended Applications (xApps) in the Near Real Time RAN Intelligent Controller (Near-RT-RIC). A QoS-Aware Conflict Mitigation (QACM) method is proposed that finds the optimal configuration of conflicting parameters while maximizing the number of xApps that have their Quality of Service (QoS) requirements met. We compare the performance of the proposed QACM method with two benchmark methods for priority and non-priority cases. The results indicate that our proposed method is the most effective in maintaining QoS requirements for conflicting xApps.

description: Insulin resistance (IR) during obesity is linked to adipose tissue macrophage (ATM)-driven inflammation of adipose tissue. Whether anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids (GCs) at physiological levels modulate IR is unclear. Here, we report that deletion of the GC receptor (GR) in myeloid cells, including macrophages in mice, aggravates obesity-related IR by enhancing adipose tissue inflammation due to decreased anti-inflammatory ATM leading to exaggerated adipose tissue lipolysis and severe hepatic steatosis. In contrast, GR deletion in Kupffer cells alone does not alter IR. Co-culture experiments show that the absence of GR in macrophages directly causes reduced phospho-AKT and glucose uptake in adipocytes, suggesting an important function of GR in ATM. GR-deficient macrophages are refractory to alternative ATM-inducing IL-4 signaling, due to reduced STAT6 chromatin loading and diminished anti-inflammatory enhancer activation. We demonstrate that GR has an important function in macrophages during obesity by limiting adipose tissue inflammation and lipolysis to promote insulin sensitivity.
