A resonator with eigenfrequency ωr can be effectively used as a cooler for another linear oscillator with a much smaller frequency ωm⪡ωr. A huge cooling effect, which could be used to cool a mechanical oscillator below the energy of quantum fluctuations, has been predicted by several authors. However, here we show that there is a lower limit T∗ on the achievable temperature, given by T∗=Tmωm/ωr, that was not considered in previous work and can be higher than the quantum limit in realistic experimental realizations. We also point out that the decay rate of the resonator, which previous studies stress should be small, must be larger than the decay rate of the cooled oscillator for effective cooling.

We present a multiscale modeling approach that can simulate multimillion atoms effectively via density-functional theory. The method is based on the framework of the quasicontinuum (QC) approach with orbital-free density-functional theory (OFDFT) as its sole energetics formulation. The local QC part is formulated by the Cauchy-Born hypothesis with OFDFT calculations for strain energy and stress. The nonlocal QC part is treated by an OFDFT-based embedding approach, which couples OFDFT nonlocal atoms to local region atoms. The method—QCDFT—is applied to a nanoindentation study of an Al thin film, and the results are compared to a conventional QC approach. The results suggest that QCDFT represents a new direction for the quantum simulation of materials at length scales that are relevant to experiments.

The doping variation of charge and orbital dynamics in perovskite-type Y1−xCaxVO3 (0≤x≤0.1) is investigated by measurements of the optical conductivity and Raman scattering spectra in comparison to the larger bandwidth system La1−xSrxVO3. We also take into consideration the magnitude of the GdFeO3-type orthorhombic lattice distortion, which is large and small in Y1−xCaxVO3 and La1−xSrxVO3, respectively, and discuss its effect on the evolution of charge dynamics. The optical conductivity spectra show that the doped hole is well localized and forms the small polaronlike state. The hole dynamics in Y1−xCaxVO3 is nearly isotropic up to the doping level of the orbital order-disorder transition, while that in La1−xSrxVO3 is anisotropic in the lightly doped region due to the one-dimensional orbital exchange interaction. The possible origin of the difference in the hole dynamics is discussed in terms of the local lattice distortion, which is induced by the formation of the small polaronlike state and becomes more significant for the reduced one-electron bandwidth. In addition, the optical Mott-gap excitation in the nominally C-type spin and G-type orbital ordered phase is distinct from that for La1−xSrxVO3 in its intensity and spectral shape. This suggests that the orthorhombic lattice distortion enhances the modification of the spin and orbital ordering from the pure C type and G type, respectively. The systematic study of Raman scattering spectra has shown that the dynamic G-type spin and C-type orbital correlation subsists at low temperatures in the doping induced phase of the nominally C-type spin ordering and G-type orbital ordering.

We analyze theoretically the effect of a weak nonlinearity on the propagation of Josephson plasma waves in layered superconductors. The nonlinearity originates from the Josephson relation between the current density across superconducting layers and gauge-invariant phase difference of the order parameter. We show that strong nonlinear effects can be observed for electromagnetic waves with frequency slightly above or slightly below the plasma frequency. We study the nonlinear plasma resonance accompanied by the hysteretic dependence of the wave amplitude on the frequency. This hysteresis transforms the continuous terahertz radiation into a series of short electromagnetic high-amplitude pulses. We also consider the propagation of a nonlinear terahertz beam localized in the direction across the superconducting layers. This phenomenon is an analog of the self-focusing effect in nonlinear optics. The nonlinear phenomena in layered superconductors considered here can be potentially useful for the design of a new generation of terahertz devices.

A photonic quasicrystal consists of two or more dielectric materials arranged in a quasiperiodic pattern with noncrystallographic symmetry that has a photonic band gap. We use a novel method to find the pattern with the widest TM-polarized gap for two-component materials. Patterns are obtained by computing a finite sum of density waves, assigning regions where the sum exceeds a threshold to a material with one dielectric constant, ϵ1, and all other regions to another, ϵ0. Compared to optimized crystals, optimized quasicrystals have larger gaps at low constrasts ϵ1/ϵ0 and have gaps that are much more isotropic for all contrasts. For high contrasts, optimized hexagonal crystals have the largest gaps.
