Abstract: Efficient loading of single atoms into tightly confined traps is crucial for advancing quantum information processing and exploring atom-photon interactions. However, directly loading atoms from a magneto-optical trap (MOT) into static tweezers in cavity-based systems and hybrid atom-photon interfaces remains a challenge. Here, we demonstrate atom loading in a tightly confined optical tweezer 0.6mm away from MOT by an optical conveyor belt. By employing real-time feedback control of the atom number in the overlapping region between the conveyor belt and the tweezer, we enhance a single-atom loading probability to 77.6%. Our technique offers a versatile solution for deterministic single-atom loading in various experimental settings and paves the way for diverse applications based on hybrid photonic-atom structures.

Modelling hydrogen storage in metal hydrides
We develop a one-dimensional mathematical model for the loading process of hydrogen in a metal hydride tank. The model describes the evolution of the density and pressure of the hydrogen gas, the temperature of the tank, the averaged velocity of the gas through the porous metal structure, and the transformed fraction of metal into a metal hydride. The non-dimensionalisation of the model indicates a possible reduction of the system of equations and also shows that the density and the transformed…

Nucleation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) via chemical vapour deposition of methane on CoRu bimetallic nanoparticles is simulated using quantum chemical molecular dynamics. By varying the Ru loading in the catalyst, we show that Ru decreases catalytic efficiency; C-H bond activation is impeded, key reactive intermediate species become longer-lived on the catalyst surface, and longer carbon chains are stabilised through the earliest stages of SWCNT nucleation.

Abstract: We propose a scheme to transfer molecules from a slow beam into an optical trap using only a single photon absorption and emission cycle. The efficiency of such a scheme is numerically explored for BaF using realistic experimental parameters. The technique makes use of the state-dependent potential in an external electric field to trap molecules from an initial velocity of order 10m/s. A rapid optical transition at the point where the molecules come to a standstill in the electric field potential irreversibly transfers them into a ~7mK optical dipole trap. For a pulsed Stark decelerated beam, we estimated the per-shot efficiency to be ~0.04% or up to ~103 molecules, with a potential factor 20 improvement when the fields are synchronously modulated with the arriving velocity components. The irreversibility of the scheme allows for larger numbers to be built up over time. Since this scheme does not rely on a closed cycling transition for laser cooling, it broadens the range of molecules that can be used for research on cold molecular chemistry, quantum information, and fundamental interactions in optical traps.

On-chip photon entanglement-assisted topology loading and transfer
Topological protection offers a robust solution to the challenges of noise and loss in physical systems. By integrating topological physics into optics, loading and encoding quantum states into topological invariants can provide resilience to information systems in the face of environmental disruptions. Here, we demonstrate on-chip loading and entanglement-assisted transfer of photon topology, where the topological structure is coherently encoded in a single-photon spin-textured quantum state, …

Versatile Absorption Modeling for Transmissive Optical Elements Using Ray Tracing and Finite Element Analysis
Emerging quality requirements in modern optical systems increase the need for accurate simulation and compensation of disturbances. One key disturbance in high-power laser applications results from thermal loading due to absorption. This paper presents a flexible modeling approach for absorption based on ray tracing, where point heat sources are defined along ray paths. In addition, several methods for mapping these point heat sources along the ray path to the finite element mesh are introduced…

Bubble Dynamics Transformer: Microrheology at Ultra-High Strain Rates
Laser-induced inertial cavitation (LIC)-where microscale vapor bubbles nucleate due to a focused high-energy pulsed laser and then violently collapse under surrounding high local pressures-offers a unique opportunity to investigate soft biological material mechanics at extremely high strain rates (>1000 1/s). Traditional rheological tools are often limited in these regimes by loading speed, resolution, or invasiveness. Here we introduce novel machine learning (ML) based microrheological framewo…

The stability analysis of elastic rings subjected to various loading conditions is examined, focusing on stable and unstable configurations. The harmonic balance method is employed to investigate the stability range under different loading conditions. This method provides improved accuracy in results and yields a smooth, stable range of values for all modes of symmetry. Additionally, the bifurcation analysis technique of linearization is utilized to identify unstable regions, and it demonstrate…

Computational investigation of crack-tip fields in a compressed nonlinear strain-limiting material
A finite element framework is presented for the analysis of crack-tip phenomena in an elastic material containing a single edge crack under compressive loading. The mechanical response of the material is modeled by a nonlinear constitutive relationship that algebraically relates stress to linearized strain. This approach serves to mitigate non-physical strain singularities and ensures that the crack-tip strains don't grow, unlike singular stresses. A significant advancement is thus achieved in …

A comparative nanotribological investigation on amorphous and polycrystalline forms of MoS2
The wear behavior of two amorphous and polycrystalline forms of MoS2 prepared by magnetron sputtering has been characterized in a combined nanoindentation and atomic force microscopy study. From the analysis of the depth and width of wear tracks estimated after scratching the surfaces with a Berkovich indenter and a loading force up to 2 mN, we conclude that both forms follow the Archard wear equation, and the wear resistance is about four times higher on the amorphous MoS2. Moreover, a compari…

Elastic Metastability: Thermally Activated Snap-through Transitions in Nanostructures
The morphological snap-through transition of a bistable elastic structure typically requires external loading, unless it is miniaturized to the nanoscale, where thermal fluctuations play a significant role. We propose that metastability can emerge in microscopic elastic systems when coupled to a thermal environment, giving rise to thermally activated transitions between metastable configurations. Using atomistic simulations combined with rare event methods, we demonstrate that snap-through even…

Configurational forces explain echelon cracks in soft materials
Soft fracture in highly deformable solids involves both geometric and constitutive nonlinearities, necessitating advanced theoretical and computational frameworks for its accurate understanding. Tensile fractures subjected to mixed-mode loading deviate from their original planar shape, resulting in echelon crack patterns. When out-of-plane shear is superimposed, a crack front segments into an array of tilted facets. The physical interpretation of echelon cracks is only marginally understood, an…

The Stress-Force-Fabric relation across shear bands
The strength of granular materials is highly dependent on grain connectivity (fabric), force transmission, and frictional mobilization at the particle scale. Furthermore, these bulk properties are strongly dependent on the geometry and history of loading. It is well established that anisotropy in fabric and force transmission through a granular packing directly relates to the bulk scale strength of the packing via the Stress-Force-Fabric (SFF) relation. We have recently verified the validity of…
