The direct current (DC) electric field near the reconnection region has been proposed as an effective mechanism to accelerate protons and electrons in solar flares. A power-law energy spectrum was generally claimed in the simulations of…
The effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) have been widely debated concerning their role in chemical reactions. Reactions usually took hours or days to complete, and have been shown to happen a thousand times faster using EMF radiations.…
Perhaps the simplest first-principles approach to electronic structure is to fit the charge distribution of each orbital pair and use those fits wherever they appear in the entire electron-electron (EE) interaction energy. The charge…
We study the response of a model micro-electrochemical cell to a large ac voltage of frequency comparable to the inverse cell relaxation time. To bring out the basic physics, we consider the simplest possible model of a symmetric binary…
One dimensional fluid/electron Monte Carlo simulations of capacitively coupled Ar/O2 discharges driven by sawtooth up voltage waveforms are performed as a function of the number of consecutive harmonics driving frequencies of 13.56 MHz, N…
Since their first theoretical proposal [Ngoko Djiokap et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 113004 (2015)] and experimental demonstration [Pengel et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 053003 (2017)], free electron vortices (FEVs) have attracted…
This study examined the effects of surfactants on the motion and positioning of microparticles in an inhomogeneous electric field. The microparticles were suspended in oil with a surfactant and the electric field was generated using…
The harmonic approximation of ionic fluctuations and the linear coupling between phonons and electrons provide the standard framework to compute, from first principles, the contribution of nuclear dynamics and its interaction with electrons…
We report phonon renormalization induced by an external electric field E in ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] nanofibers through measuring the E-dependent thermal conductivity. Our experimental results…
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) methods utilizing resonant mechanical vibrations of cantilevers in contact with a sample surface have shown sensitivities as high as few picometers for detecting surface displacements. Such a high sensitivity…
The development of non-uniform reaction current distribution within porous electrodes is a ubiquitous phenomenon during battery charging / discharging and frequently controls the rate performance of battery cells. Reaction inhomogeneity in…
Water is routinely exposed to external electric fields (EFs). Whether, e.g., at physiological conditions, in contact with biological systems, or at the interface of polar surfaces in countless technological and industrial settings, water…
Recent high resolution Compton scattering experiments clearly reveal that there are fundamental limitations to the conventional local density approximation (LDA) based description of the ground state electron momentum density (EMD) in…
In atmospheric pressure capacitively coupled microplasma jets, Voltage Waveform Tailoring (VWT) was demonstrated to provide ultimate control of the Electron Energy Distribution Function (EEDF), which allows to enhance and adjust the…
The rapid charging and/or discharging of electrochemical cells can lead to localized depletion of electrolyte concentration. This depletion can significantly impact the system's time dependent resistance. For systems with porous electrodes,…
A recently published correlated electron pseudopotentials (CEPPs) method has been adapted for application to the 3d-transition metals, and to include relativistic effects. New CEPPs are reported for the atoms Sc$-$Fe, constructed from…
A current challenge in atomistic machine learning is that of efficiently predicting the response of the electron density under electric fields. We address this challenge with symmetry-adapted kernel functions that are specifically derived…
Matched asymptotic expansion is a useful technique in General Relativity and other fields whenever interaction takes place between physics at two different length scales. Here matched asymptotic expansion is argued to be equivalent quite…
Rectification of electron wave-packets propagating along a quasi-one dimensional chain is commonly achieved via the simultaneous action of nonlinearity and longitudinal asymmetry, both confined to a limited portion of the chain termed wave…
Mean-field electrostatics is used to calculate the bending moduli of an electric double layer for fixed surface charge density of a macroion in a symmetric 1:1 electrolyte. The resulting expressions for bending stiffness, Gaussian modulus,…
