In the first two papers of this series, we characterized the structure of maximally random jammed (MRJ) sphere packings across length scales by computing a variety of different correlation functions, spectral functions, hole probabilities, and local density fluctuations. From the remarkable structural features of the MRJ packings, especially its disordered hyperuniformity, exceptional physical properties can be expected. Here we employ these structural descriptors to estimate effective transport and electromagnetic properties via rigorous bounds, exact expansions, and accurate analytical approximation formulas. These property formulas include interfacial bounds as well as universal scaling laws for the mean survival time and the fluid permeability. We also estimate the principal relaxation time associated with Brownian motion among perfectly absorbing traps. For the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the long-wavelength limit, we show that a dispersion of dielectric MRJ spheres within a matrix of another dielectric material forms, to a very good approximation, a dissipationless disordered and isotropic two-phase medium for any phase dielectric contrast ratio. We compare the effective properties of the MRJ sphere packings to those of overlapping spheres, equilibrium hard-sphere packings, and lattices of hard spheres. Moreover, we generalize results to micro- and macroscopically anisotropic packings of spheroids with tensorial effective properties. The analytic bounds predict the qualitative trend in the physical properties associated with these structures, which provides guidance to more time-consuming simulations and experiments. They especially provide impetus for experiments to design materials with unique bulk properties resulting from hyperuniformity, including structural-color and color-sensing applications.

The quantitative characterization of the microstructure of random heterogeneous media in d-dimensional Euclidean space Rd via a variety of n-point correlation functions is of great importance, since the respective infinite set determines the effective physical properties of the media. In particular, surface-surface Fss and surface-void Fsv correlation functions (obtainable from radiation scattering experiments) contain crucial interfacial information that enables one to estimate transport properties of the media (e.g., the mean survival time and fluid permeability) and complements the information content of the conventional two-point correlation function. However, the current technical difficulty involved in sampling surface correlation functions has been a stumbling block in their widespread use. We first present a concise derivation of the small-r behaviors of these functions, which are linked to the mean curvature of the system. Then we demonstrate that one can reduce the computational complexity of the problem, without sacrificing accuracy, by extracting the necessary interfacial information from a cut of the d-dimensional statistically homogeneous and isotropic system with an infinitely long line. Accordingly, we devise algorithms based on this idea and test them for two-phase media in continuous and discrete spaces. Specifically for the exact benchmark model of overlapping spheres, we find excellent agreement between numerical and exact results. We compute surface correlation functions and corresponding local surface-area variances for a variety of other model microstructures, including hard spheres in equilibrium, decorated “stealthy” patterns, as well as snapshots of evolving pattern formation processes (e.g., spinodal decomposition). It is demonstrated that the precise determination of surface correlation functions provides a powerful means to characterize a wide class of complex multiphase microstructures.

Machine learning models are changing the paradigm of molecular modeling, which is a fundamental tool for material science, chemistry, and computational biology. Of particular interest is the inter-atomic potential energy surface (PES). Here we develop Deep Potential - Smooth Edition (DeepPot-SE), an end-to-end machine learning-based PES model, which is able to efficiently represent the PES of a wide variety of systems with the accuracy of ab initio quantum mechanics models. By construction, DeepPot-SE is extensive and continuously differentiable, scales linearly with system size, and preserves all the natural symmetries of the system. Further, we show that DeepPot-SE describes finite and extended systems including organic molecules, metals, semiconductors, and insulators with high fidelity.

We consider semidefinite programs (SDPs) with equality constraints. The variable to be optimized is a positive semidefinite matrix X of size n. Following the Burer–Monteiro approach, we optimize a factor Y of size n× p instead, such that X = YY. This ensures positive semidefiniteness at no cost and can reduce the dimension of the problem if p is small, but results in a non-convex optimization problem with a quadratic cost function and quadratic equality constraints in Y. In this paper, we show that if the set of constraints on Y regularly defines a smooth manifold, then, despite non-convexity, first- and second-order necessary optimality conditions are also sufficient, provided p is large enough. For smaller values of p, we show a similar result holds for almost all (linear) cost functions. Under those conditions, a global optimum Y maps to a global optimum X = YY of the SDP. We deduce old and new consequences for SDP relaxations of the generalized eigenvector problem, the trust-region subproblem and quadratic optimization over several spheres, as well as for the Max-Cut and Orthogonal-Cut SDPs which are common relaxations in stochastic block modeling and synchronization of rotations.

Frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) is a popular technique for complete characterization of ultrashort laser pulses. The acquired data in FROG, called FROG trace, is the Fourier magnitude of the product of the unknown pulse with a time-shifted version of itself, for several different shifts. To estimate the pulse from the FROG trace, we propose an algorithm that minimizes a smoothed non-convex least-squares objective function. The method consists of two steps. First, we approximate the pulse by an iterative spectral algorithm. Then, the attained initialization is refined based upon a sequence of block stochastic gradient iterations. The algorithm is theoretically simple, numerically scalable, and easy-to-implement. Empirically, our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art when the FROG trace is incomplete, that is, when only few shifts are recorded. Simulations also suggest that the proposed algorithm exhibits similar computational cost compared to a state-of-the-art technique for both complete and incomplete data. In addition, we prove that in the vicinity of the true solution, the algorithm converges to a critical point. A Matlab implementation is publicly available at https://***/samuelpinilla/FROG.

In this paper we introduce a computationally efficient solution to the problem of graph signal interpolation. Our solution is derived using the Nyström extension and is due to the properties of the Markov matrix which we use as our graph shift operator, inspired by diffusion maps. We focus on graph signals that are smooth over the graph. This assumption cements the relationship between the graph and the graph signal. We experimentally verify our suggested framework on the MNIST data set of handwritten digits.

Single-particle cryo-Electron Microscopy (EM) has become a popular technique for determining the structure of challenging biomolecules that are inaccessible to other technologies. Recent advances in automation, both in data collection and data processing, have significantly lowered the barrier for non-expert users to successfully execute the structure determination workflow. Many critical data processing steps, however, still require expert user intervention in order to converge to the correct high-resolution structure. In particular, strategies to identify homogeneous populations of particles rely heavily on subjective criteria that are not always consistent or reproducible among different users. Here, we explore the use of unsupervised strategies for particle sorting that are compatible with the autonomous operation of the image processing pipeline. More specifically, we show that particles can be successfully sorted based on a simple statistical model for the distribution of scores assigned during refinement. This represents an important step towards the development of automated workflows for protein structure determination using single-particle *** Codes 62P10 Copyright © 2019, The Authors.

An active learning procedure called Deep Potential Generator (DP-GEN) is proposed for the construction of accurate and transferable machine learning-based models of the potential energy surface (PES) for the molecular modeling of materials. This procedure consists of three main components: exploration, generation of accurate reference data, and training. Application to the sample systems of Al, Mg and Al-Mg alloys demonstrates that DP-GEN can produce uniformly accurate PES models with a minimal number of reference data. Copyright © 2018, The Authors.

Hard convex lens-shaped particles: Characterization of dense disordered packings

Among the family of hard convex lens-shaped particles (lenses), the one with aspect ratio equal to 2/3 is ‘optimal’ in the sense that the maximally random jammed (MRJ) packings of such lenses achieve the highest packing fraction φMRJ ' 0.73. This value is only a few percent lower than φDKP = 0.76210 . . . , the packing fraction of the corresponding densest-known crystalline (degenerate) packings. By exploiting the appreciably reduced propensity that a system of such optimal lenses has to positionally and orientationally order, disordered packings of them are progressively generated by a Monte Carlo method-based procedure from the dilute equilibrium isotropic fluid phase to the dense nonequilibrium MRJ state. This allows one to closely monitor how the (micro)structure of these packings changes in the process of formation of the MRJ state. The gradual changes undergone by the many structural descriptors calculated can coherently and consistently be traced back to the gradual increase in contacts between the hard particles until the isostatic mean value of 10 contact neighbors per lens is reached at the effectively hyperuniform MRJ state. Compared to the MRJ state of hard spheres, the MRJ state of such optimal lenses is denser (less porous), more disordered, and rattler-free. This set of characteristics makes them good glass formers. It is possible that this conclusion may also hold for other hard convex uniaxial particles with a correspondingly similar aspect ratio, be they oblate or prolate, and that, by using suitable biaxial variants of them, that set of characteristics might further improve.
