Dense packing of hydrophobic residues in the cores of globular proteins determines their stability. Recently, we have shown that protein cores possess packing fraction ϕ≈0.56, which is the same as dense, random packing of amino-acid-shaped particles. In this article, we compare the structural properties of protein cores and jammed packings of amino-acid-shaped particles in much greater depth by measuring their local and connected void regions. We find that the distributions of surface Voronoi cell volumes and local porosities obey similar statistics in both systems. We also measure the probability that accessible, connected void regions percolate as a function of the size of a spherical probe particle and show that both systems possess the same critical probe size. We measure the critical exponent τ that characterizes the size distribution of connected void clusters at the onset of percolation. We find that the cluster size statistics are similar for void percolation in packings of amino-acid-shaped particles and randomly placed spheres, but different from that for void percolation in jammed sphere packings. We propose that the connected void regions are a defining structural feature of proteins and can be used to differentiate experimentally observed proteins from decoy structures that are generated using computational protein design software. This work emphasizes that jammed packings of amino-acid-shaped particles can serve as structural and mechanical analogs of protein cores, and could therefore be useful in modeling the response of protein cores to cavity-expanding and -reducing mutations.

We consider the scaling properties characterizing the hyperuniformity (or anti-hyperuniformity) of long wavelength fluctuations in a broad class of one-dimensional substitution tilings. We present a simple argument that predicts the exponent α governing the scaling of Fourier intensities at small wavenumbers, tilings with α > 0 being hyperuniform, and confirm with numerical computations that the predictions are accurate for quasiperiodic tilings, tilings with singular continuous spectra, and limit-periodic tilings. Tilings with quasiperiodic or singular continuous spectra can be constructed with α arbitrarily close to any given value between −1 and 3. Limit-periodic tilings can be constructed with α between −1 and 1 or with Fourier intensities that approach zero faster than any power law. Copyright © 2018, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Powerful lasers interacting with solid targets can generate intense electromagnetic pulses(EMPs).In this study,EMPs produced by a pulsed laser(1 ps,100 J)shooting at CH targets doped with different titanium(Ti)contents at the XG-III laser facility are measured and *** results demonstrate that the intensity of EMPs first increases with Ti doping content from 1%to 7%and then *** electron spectra show that EMP emission is closely related to the hot electrons ejected from the target surface,which is confirmed by an analysis based on the target–holder–ground equivalent antenna *** conclusions of this study provide a new approach to achieve tunable EMP radiation by adjusting the metal content of solid targets,and will also help in understanding the mechanism ofEMPgeneration and ejection of hot electrons during laser coupling with targets.

Disordered hyperuniform many-body systems are exotic states of matter with novel optical, transport, and mechanical properties. These systems are characterized by an anomalous suppression of large-scale density fluctuations compared to typical liquids, i.e., the structure factor obeys the scaling relation S(k) ∼ Bkα with B, α > 0 in the limit k → 0. Ground-state d-dimensional free fermionic gases, which are fundamental models for many metals and semiconductors, are key examples of quantum disordered hyperuniform states with important connections to random matrix theory. However, the effects of electron-electron interactions as well as the polarization of the electron liquid on hyperuniformity have not been explored thus far. In this work, we systematically address these questions by deriving the analytical small-k behaviors (and associatedly, α and B) of the total and spin-resolved structure factors of quasi-1D, 2D, and 3D electron liquids for varying polarizations and interaction parameters. We validate that these equilibrium disordered ground states are hyperuniform, as dictated by the fluctuation-compressibility relation. Interestingly, free fermions, partially polarized interacting fermions, and fully polarized interacting fermions are characterized by different values of the small-k scaling exponent α and coefficient B. In particular, partially polarized fermionic liquids exhibit a unique form of multihyperuniformity, in which the net configuration exhibits a stronger form of hyperuniformity (i.e., larger α) than each individual spin component. The detailed theoretical analysis of such small-k behaviors enables the construction of corresponding equilibrium classical systems under effective one- and two-body interactions that mimic the pair statistics of quantum electron liquids. Our work thus reveals that highly unusual hyperuniform and multihyperuniform states can be achieved in simple fermionic systems and paves the way for harnessing the unique hyperuniform

Using classical molecular dynamics, we investigate the cold-spray additive manufacturing process involving copper particles impacting a copper substrate. Specifically, we develop fundamental insights into the interplay between particle size, particle velocity and ensuing penetration depth of the particle and the effective adhesion strength that binds the impinging particle with the substrate. Equally importantly, we also establish a quantitative constitutive relationship that governs the process variables (i.e., particle size, particle velocity), the resulting particle penetration depth and impact bonding energy. By examining the formation and evolution of adiabatic shear bands and dislocation densities within the particle and the substrate, as well as by examining the structural evolution of the impinging particle as a function of process variables in conjunction with observations of material jetting, we shed light on the deformation mechanisms that govern the cold spray process, and provide a fundamental basis for understanding the presence of a critical velocity that must be overcome in order to promote strong adhesion of the particle with the substrate. Further, by developing a comprehensive constitutive relationship that relates the process variables to the resulting penetration of the particle and the extent of impact bonding, we enable the ability to upscale information derived at the nanometric scales to experimental scales. This work thus serves as a steppingstone in not only answering fundamental interrelationships that govern the cold spray process, but also in the quest for developing comprehensive integrated computational materials engineering models for optimizing the process conditions underlying the cold spray process. © 2022, The Authors.

In this work, we consider multigoal-oriented error estimation for stationary fluid-structure interaction. The problem is formulated within a variational-monolithic setting using arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian coordinates. Employing the dual-weighted residual method for goal-oriented a posteriori error estimation, adjoint sensitivities are required. For multigoal-oriented error estimation, a combined functional is formulated such that several quantities of interest are controlled simultaneously. As localization technique for mesh refinement we employ a partition-of-unity. Our algorithmic developments are substantiated with several numerical tests such as an elastic lid-driven cavity with two goal functionals, an elastic bar in a chamber with two goal functionals, and the FSI-1 benchmark with three goal *** Codes 65N30, 65N50, 74F10 © 2021, CC BY-NC-ND.

We introduce a local order metric (LOM) that measures the degree of order in the neighborhood of an atomic or molecular site in a condensed medium. The LOM maximizes the overlap between the spatial distribution of sites belonging to that neighborhood and the corresponding distribution in a suitable reference system. The LOM takes a value tending to zero for completely disordered environments and tending to one for environments that perfectly match the reference. The site-averaged LOM and its standard deviation define two scalar order parameters, S and δS, that characterize with excellent resolution crystals, liquids, and amorphous materials. We show with molecular dynamics simulations that S, δS, and the LOM provide very insightful information in the study of structural transformations, such as those occurring when ice spontaneously nucleates from supercooled water or when a supercooled water sample becomes amorphous upon progressive cooling.

We present a method to calculate upper bounds on the photonic band gaps of two-component photonic crystals. The method involves calculating both upper and lower bounds on the frequency bands for a given structure, and then maximizing over all possible two-component structures. We apply this method to a number of examples, including a one-dimensional photonic crystal (or “Bragg grating”) and two-dimensional photonic crystals (in both the TM and TE polarizations) with both four and sixfold rotational symmetries. We compare the bounds to band gaps of numerically optimized structures and find that the bounds are extremely tight. We prove that the bounds are “sharp” in the limit of low dielectric contrast ratio between the two components. This method and the bounds derived here have important implications in the search for optimal photonic band-gap structures.

Proteins naturally occur in crowded cellular environments and interact with other proteins, nucleic acids, and organelles. Since most previous experimental protein structure determination techniques require that proteins occur in idealized, non-physiological environments, the effects of realistic cellular environments on protein structure are largely unexplored. Recently, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) has been shown to be an effective experimental method for investigating protein structure in vivo. Inter-residue distances measured in vivo can be incorporated as restraints in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to model protein structural dynamics in vivo. Since most FRET studies only obtain inter-residue separations for a small number of amino acid pairs, it is important to determine the minimum number of restraints in the MD simulations that are required to achieve a given root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) from the experimental structural ensemble. Further, what is the optimal method for selecting these inter-residue restraints? Here, we implement several methods for selecting the most important FRET pairs and determine the number of pairs Nr that are needed to induce conformational changes in proteins between two experimentally determined structures. We find that enforcing only a small fraction of restraints, Nr/N 0.08, where N is the number of amino acids, can induce the conformational changes. These results establish the efficacy of FRET-assisted MD simulations for atomic scale structural modeling of proteins in vivo. © 2024, CC BY.
