The dynamical character for a perturbed coupled nonlinear Schrodinger system with periodic boundary condition was studied. First, the dynamical character of perturbed and unperturbed systems on the invariant plane was analyzed by the spectrum of the linear operator. Then the existence of the locally invariant manifolds was proved by the singular perturbation theory and the fixed-point argument.

Upon oxidation, a silica scale forms on MoSi2, a potential high-temperature coating material for metals. This silica scale protects MoSi2 against high-temperature corrosive gases or liquids. We use periodic density functional theory to examine the interface between SiO2 and MoSi2. The interfacial bonding is localized, as evidenced by an adhesion energy that changes only slightly with the thickness of the SiO2 layer. Moreover, the adhesion energy displays a relatively large (0.40J∕m2) variation with the relative lateral position of the SiO2 and MoSi2 lattices due to changes in Si−O bonding across the interface. The most stable interfacial structure yields an ideal work of adhesion of 5.75J∕m2 within the local density approximation (5.02J∕m2 within the generalized-gradient approximation) to electron exchange and correlation, indicating extremely strong adhesion. Local densities of states and electron density difference plots demonstrate that the interfacial Si−O bonds are covalent in character. Mo−O interactions are not found in the SiO2∕MoSi2 interface investigated here. Our work predicts that the SiO2 scale strongly adheres to MoSi2, and further supports the potential of MoSi2 as a high-temperature structural material and coating.

It has recently been shown that triply periodic two-phase bicontinuous composites with interfaces that are the Schwartz primitive (P) and diamond (D) minimal surfaces are not only geometrically extremal but extremal for simultaneous transport of heat and electricity. The multifunctionality of such two-phase systems has been further established by demonstrating that they are also extremal when a competition is set up between the effective bulk modulus and electrical (or thermal) conductivity of the bicontinuous composite. Here we compute the fluid permeabilities of these and other triply periodic bicontinuous structures at a porosity ϕ=1∕2 using the immersed-boundary finite-volume method. The other triply periodic porous media that we study include the Schoen gyroid (G) minimal surface, two different pore-channel models, and an array of spherical obstacles arranged on the sites of a simple cubic lattice. We find that the Schwartz P porous medium has the largest fluid permeability among all of the six triply periodic porous media considered in this paper. The fluid permeabilities are shown to be inversely proportional to the corresponding specific surfaces for these structures. This leads to the conjecture that the maximal fluid permeability for a triply periodic porous medium with a simply connected pore space at a porosity ϕ=1∕2 is achieved by the structure that globally minimizes the specific surface.

Encapsulations of metallofullerenes (La@C82, La2@C80, and Sc3N@C80) inside single-wall carbon nanotubes are investigated by using first-principles calculations. We found that La@C82, La2@C80, and Sc3N@C80 are endothermically encapsulated inside the (17,0) nanotube, while the encapsulation processes are exothermic inside the (14,7) and (19,0) nanotubes. Electron transfer takes place from the nanotubes to strongly electrophilic La@C82 and La2@C80. Dependent on the tube chirality, the Van Hove singularity positions of the nanotube may be significantly shifted by a local 3% radial strain induced by metallofullerene insertion.

We present a graph embedding space (i.e., a set of measures on graphs) for performing statistical analyses of networks. Key improvements over existing approaches include discovery of “motif hubs” (multiple overlapping significant subgraphs), computational efficiency relative to subgraph census, and flexibility (the method is easily generalizable to weighted and signed graphs). The embedding space is based on scalars, functionals of the adjacency matrix representing the network. Scalars are global, involving all nodes; although they can be related to subgraph enumeration, there is not a one-to-one mapping between scalars and subgraphs. Improvements in network randomization and significance testing—we learn the distribution rather than assuming Gaussianity—are also presented. The resulting algorithm establishes a systematic approach to the identification of the most significant scalars and suggests machine-learning techniques for network classification.

The concept of a geometric phase (Berry’s phase) is generalized to the case of noneigenstates, which is applicable to both linear and nonlinear quantum systems. This is particularly important to nonlinear quantum systems, where, due to the lack of the superposition principle, the adiabatic evolution of a general state cannot be described in terms of eigenstates. For linear quantum systems, our new geometric phase reduces to a statistical average of Berry’s phases. Our results are demonstrated with a nonlinear two-level model.

We present a class of soliton solutions to a system of two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations, with an intrinsic domain wall (DW) which separates regions occupied by two different fields. The model describes a binary mixture of two Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with interspecies repulsion. For the attractive or repulsive interactions inside each species, we find solutions which are bright or dark solitons in each component, while for the opposite signs of the intraspecies interaction, a bright-dark soliton pair is found (each time, with the intrinsic DW). These solutions can arise in the context of discrete lattices, and most of them can be supported in continuum settings by an external parabolic trap. The stability of the solitons with intrinsic DWs is examined, and the evolution of unstable ones is analyzed. We also briefly discuss the possibility of generating such families of solutions in the presence of linear coupling between the components, and an application of the model to bimodal light propagation in nonlinear optics.

We investigate fidelity for the quantum evolution of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) and reveal its general property with a simple two-component BEC model. We find that, when the initial state is a coherent state, the fidelity decays with time in the ways of exponential, Gaussian, and power law, depending on the initial location, the perturbation strength, as well as the underlying mean-field classical dynamics. In this case we find a clear correspondence between the fast quantum fidelity decay and the dynamical instability of the mean-field system. With the initial state prepared as a maximally entangled state, we find that the behavior of fidelity has no classical correspondence and observe an interesting behavior of the fidelity: periodic revival, where the period is inversely proportional to the number of bosons and the perturbation strength. An experimental observation of the fidelity decay is suggested.
