We study the poloidal modes (modes whose variations are strictly along the direction of the torus axis) of toroidal nanoparticles. We show that the modes may be understood in terms of the symmetry breaking that occurs when an infinite cylinder is folded to form a torus. This symmetry breaking results in the splitting of the transverse cylinder modes into two distinct sets of modes on a torus. One set of these modes was known to exist already. We show the existence of the second set and also analytically derive the surface charge structure for that set of modes. We also consolidate recent advances made in studying the modal structure on torus particles and complete our understanding of the plasmonic modes of a torus.

The ability to actively control heat flows in the nanoscale can open up a plethora of opportunities for applications that require thermal management and regulation. We show that it is possible to build a three-terminal quantum thermal gating device which regulates the thermal conductivity between two of its terminals in response to light incident upon the remaining terminal. We model our device as three mutually coupled two-level systems which interact thermally and optically with their environment. To incorporate the thermal interactions of our device, we adopt an open quantum systems framework under the Born-Markov approximation. We subsequently use detailed quantum mechanical state analysis to illustrate its operating principle. Through numerical simulations, we further explore the nonlinear relationship between the optical field amplitude and the thermal conductivity of the device in the steady-state regime. Based on our investigations, we find that the energy-gating behavior of our device is highly efficient in that it can control a significantly larger thermal energy flow compared to the amount of energy it absorbs from the optical field in the process. The approach we have taken to analyze the system, in particular the graphical representations we developed to intuitively and concisely represent the quantum states, energy flows, and the relationships between them, could be of value in analyzing other similar thermo-optical systems. Thus, we envision that both the device concept and its analysis technique would be useful to researchers working in this area.

This paper presents a multi-objective mixed integer linear programming (MILP) framework for the sizing of a microgrid that integrates distributed energy resource (DER), such as thermal generator (TG), photovoltaic system (PV) systems, and battery energy storage system (BESS), alongside electric vehicle (EV) scheduling and the procurement of electric vehicle charging station (EVCS). The proposed formulation incorporates uncertainty in generation and demand profiles, as well as contingencies that model off-grid scenarios, by means of a scenario-based stochastic programming approach. By employing a linearization approach that eliminates the need for additional binary variables for charging and discharging decisions, the optimization simultaneously minimizes total cost, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and EV idle time. The model also determines an optimal vehicle-to-grid (V2G) price through a Nash equilibrium, which balances the interests of both the system operator and EV owners. Numerical results indicate that allowing moderate EV idle time can reduce the required number of EVCS, thus lowering capital investment without substantially affecting emissions. Furthermore, scenarios with stringent GHG constraints lead to a higher share of PV and BESS, increasing overall cost but reducing emissions. A case study demonstrates that the optimized microgrid can effectively handle off-grid conditions, with BESS and EV contributions maintaining supply reliability.
