Self-avoiding walk (SAW) represents a linear polymer chain on a large scale, neglecting its chemical details and emphasizing the role of its conformational statistics. The role of the latter is important in the formation of agglomerates and complexes involving polymers and organic or inorganic particles, such as polymer-stabilized colloidal suspensions, microemulsions, or micellar solutions. When such particles can be adsorbed on a polymer of considerably larger dimensions than themselves, this setup may represent the chelation of heavy metal ions by polymeric chelants. We consider the SAW of the length N on a cubic lattice ridden by randomly distributed obstacles of the concentration p interpreted as ions. The SAW monomers can bind to the obstacles with variable binding energy ɛ mimicking the formation of the chelation bond. Pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method (PERM) Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm is applied to simulate system behavior. We focus on several relevant properties related to the chelation efficiency and strength, as functions of the variables set {p,N,ɛ}. The results are interpreted in terms of conformational freedom, excluded volume effects, and loop formation for the SAW, and the tendencies being predicted are in agreement with some experimental data.

Cosmological correlators encode invaluable information about the wave function of the primordial Universe. In this Letter we present a duality between correlators and wave function coefficients that is valid to all orders in the loop expansion and manifests itself as a Z4 symmetry. To demonstrate the power of the duality, we derive a correlator-to-correlator factorization formula for the parity-odd part of cosmological correlators that relates n-point observables to lower-point ones via a series of diagrammatic cuts. These relations serve as the first example of physically testable cutting rules as they involve observables defined for arbitrary physical kinematics. We further show how the duality allows us to translate the cosmological optical theorem for wave function coefficients into statements about cosmological correlators.
Non-reciprocal charge transport that is strongly associated with the structural or magnetic chirality of the quantum materials system is one of the most exotic properties of condensed matter physics. Here, using magne...

Cubic perovskite hydrides with the general formula of MXH3 have recently been predicted to have the potential to achieve superconductivity at ambient pressure. Here, based on first-principles calculations as well as the BCS theory, we propose that replacing the Mg in KMgH3, which is an experimentally synthesized cubic perovskite hydride exhibiting insulating behavior, with Sc can give rise to a mechanically, dynamically, and kinetically stable superconductor, KScH3. Its superconducting transition temperature (Tc) is up to 40.37 K at ambient pressure. Further substitution of the K in KScH3 with Rb and Cs leads to structurally stable RbScH3 and CsScH3, with Tc's of 32.91 and 18.64 K, respectively. Electron-phonon coupling calculations reveal that the soft modes in the intermediate-frequency region associated with the vibrations of H atoms in the phonon spectra play a non-negligible role in determining the high Tc's of MScH3 (M = K, Rb, Cs). All these three perovskite hydrides are intermediate or strong BCS superconductors. Our results provide guidance for the design and study of ambient-pressure hydride superconductors and supply fundamental understanding of the superconductivity physical mechanism.

We point out in this Comment a misleading remark made by Gu and Beiersdorfer [Phys. Rev. A 101, 032501 (2020)] that the Debye-Hückel (DH) model “performs rather poorly” compared with the ion sphere model is due to their questionable use of the Debye length by assuming the same mobility for the plasma electrons and ions. Actually, our recent works based on a judicious application of the DH approximation, which meets the spatial and temporal criteria, have led to good agreements with all the available line shift experimental measurements on α and β emission lines of He-like ions.
