If I could learn electric engineering for fun, or learn psychology so that I can build a more compassionate theory of ethical and humane line management, isn't it better for me and the world for me to learn psychology?
Learning psychology means I can more effectively change the things that produced burnout

Unveiling the crystallization kinetics in Ge-rich Ge$_x$Te alloys by large scale simulations with a machine-learned interatomic potential
A machine-learned interatomic potential for Ge-rich Ge$_x$Te alloys has been developed aiming at uncovering the kinetics of phase separation and crystallization in these materials. The results are of interest for the operation of embedded phase change memories which exploits Ge-enrichment of GeSbTe alloys to raise the crystallization temperature. The potential is generated by fitting a large database of energies and forces computed within Density Functional Theory with the neural network scheme…

Extreme Elastic Deformation of Atoms and Pressure-Induced Superconductivity in Silicon
Change in the interatomic spacing of a two-atom system under tension and compression has been modelled by the elastic deformation of atoms. The critical elastic strain of atoms before separation or cracking from tension was estimated by the Griffith theory together with a recent mechanics model, then extended to the lateral elastic expansion under uniaxial compression. The hypothesis of deformable atoms has led to astonishing predictions of the critical elastic strain, around 10 and 20 percent …

Ion Correlation Induced Non-monotonic Height Change and Microphase Separation of Polyelectrolyte Brushes
Modeling ion correlations in inhomogeneous polymers and soft matters with spatially varying ionic strength or dielectric permittivity remains a great challenge. Here, we develop a new theory which systematically incorporates electrostatic fluctuations into the self-consistent field theory for polymers. Applied to polyelectrolyte brushes, the theory predicts that ion correlations induce non-monotonic change of the brush height: collapse followed by reexpansion. The scaling analysis elucidates th…

Operationally independent events can influence each other in quantum theory
In any known description of nature, two physical systems are considered independent of each other if any action on one of the systems does not change the other system. From our classical intuitions about the world, we further conclude that these two systems are not affecting each other in any possible way, and thus these two systems are causally disconnected or they do not influence each other. Building on this idea, we show that in quantum theory such a notion of classical independence is not …

Twisted Quasi-elliptic cohomology and twisted equivariant elliptic cohomology
In this paper we construct a twisted version of quasi-elliptic cohomology. This theory can be constructed as a K-theory of a loop space. After establishing basic properties of the theory, including restriction, change-of-group and induction maps, we construct the Chern character map. And we compute the twisted quasi-elliptic cohomology theories of representation 4-spheres acted by the finite subgroups of SU(2), which, as conjectured by Sati and Schreiber, can produce good observables on M-brane…

Structure Phase Change Induced by Nonequilibrium Effects in Molecular Scale Junctions
The interrelationship between a material's structure and its properties lies at the heart of materials-related research. Finding how the changes of one affect the other is of primary importance in theoretical and computational materials studies. In this work, based on Hershfield nonequilibrium quantum statistics and the mean-field approach with steady-state density functional theory, we derive a first-principles method to calculate nonequilibrium effects induced forces acting on atoms, enabling…

Macdonald characters from a new formula for Macdonald polynomials
We introduce a new operator $Γ$ on symmetric functions, which enables us to obtain a creation formula for Macdonald polynomials. This formula provides a connection between the theory of Macdonald operators initiated by Bergeron, Garsia, Haiman and Tesler, and shifted Macdonald polynomials introduced by Knop, Lassalle, Okounkov and Sahi. We use this formula to introduce a two-parameter generalization of Jack characters, which we call Macdonald characters. Finally, we provide a change of varia…

Neutron Stars In $f(R,T)$ Theory: Slow Rotation Approximation
In this paper, we study the slowly rotating neutron stars in $f(R, T)$ gravity based on Hartle-Thorne formalism. We first consider the simplest matter-geometry coupled modified gravity, namely $f(R, T)=R+2χT$. We compute the mass, radius, moment of inertia, change in radius, and binding energy due to rotation, eccentricity, quadrupole moment, and the tidal love number. The quantities, which are of the second order in angular velocity, like change in radius and binding energy due to rotation, e…

Computable conditions for order-2 $CP$ symmetry in NHDM potentials
We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for order-2 $CP$ ($CP2$) symmetry in $N$-Higgs-doublet potentials for $N>2$. The conditions, which are formulated as relations between vectors that transform under the adjoint representation of $\mathsf{SU}(N)$ under a change of doublet basis, are representation theoretical in nature. Making use of Lie algebra and representation theory we devise an efficient, computable algorithm which may be applied to decide whether or not a given numerical potent…

Persistent gravitational wave observables: Nonlinearities in (non-)geodesic deviation
The usual gravitational wave memory effect can be understood as a change in the separation of two initially comoving observers due to a burst of gravitational waves. Over the past few decades, a wide variety of other, "persistent" observables which measure permanent effects on idealized detectors have been introduced, each probing distinct physical effects. These observables can be defined in (regions of) any spacetime where there exists a notion of radiation, such as perturbation theory off of…

Ranking Edges by their Impact on the Spectral Complexity of Information Diffusion over Networks
Despite the numerous ways now available to quantify which parts or subsystems of a network are most important, there remains a lack of centrality measures that are related to the complexity of information flows and are derived directly from entropy measures. Here, we introduce a ranking of edges based on how each edge's removal would change a system's von Neumann entropy (VNE), which is a spectral-entropy measure that has been adapted from quantum information theory to quantify the complexity o…

Electro-optic properties from ab initio calculations in two-dimensional materials
Electro-optic (EO) effects relate the change of optical constants by low-frequency electric fields. Thanks to the advent of Density Functional Perturbation Theory (DFPT), the EO properties of bulk three-dimensional (3D) materials can now be calculated in an ab initio way. However, the use of periodic boundary conditions in most Density Functional Theory codes imposes to simulate two-dimensional (2D) materials using slabs surrounded by a large layer of vacuum. The EO coefficients predicted from …

Thermally activated intermittent flow in amorphous solids
Using mean field theory and a mesoscale elastoplastic model, we analyze the steady state shear rheology of thermally activated amorphous solids. At sufficiently high temperature and driving rates, flow is continuous and described by well-established rheological flow laws such as Herschel-Bulkley and logarithmic rate dependence. However, we find that these flow laws change in the regime of intermittent flow, were collective events no longer overlap and serrated flow becomes pronounced. In this r…

Promoting collective cooperation through temporal interactions
Collective cooperation drives the dynamics of many natural, social, and economic phenomena, making understanding the evolution of cooperation with evolutionary game theory a central question of modern science. Although human interactions are best described as complex networks, current explorations are limited to static networks where interactions represented by network links are permanent and do not change over time. In reality, human activities often involve temporal interactions, where links …

Polarization-driven band topology evolution in twisted MoTe$_2$ and WSe$_2$
Motivated by recent experimental observations of opposite Chern numbers in $R$-type twisted MoTe$_2$ and WSe$_2$ homobilayers, we perform large-scale density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations with machine learning force fields to investigate moiré band topology from large to small twist angles in both materials. We find that the Chern numbers of the moiré frontier bands change sign as a function of twist angle, and this change is driven by the competition between moiré ferroelectricity an…
