Today, a lab-on-a-chip is one of the most promising ways to create sensor devices for gas and liquid analysis for environmental monitoring, early diagnosis, and treatment effectiveness assessment. On the one hand, this requires a large number of measurements and, on the other hand, involves minimum consumption of the test analytes. Combi- nation of highly sensitive photonic integrated circuits (PICs) with microfluidic channels (MFCs) is necessary to solve this problem. In this work, PICs based on a silicon nitride plat- form integrated with MFCs for studying liquids and gases were developed. Different concentrations of isopropanol in de-ionized water were used as the analyte. Based on this, the sensitivity (S) and detection limit (DL) of the analyzed solution were evaluated. Entire system calibration was car- ried out to calculate S and DL, considering experimental and numerical simulation data. This development may be of interest as a promising platform for environmental monitor- ing and realization of point-of-care strategy for biomedical applications. ©

We study the spatial overlap of successive spin configurations generated by Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations of the Baxter–Wu model. Using the Novotny–Evertz sublattice-freezing single-cluster update, we track the mean and variance of the algorithmic overlap across the critical region. We show that, even in this three-spin model, the overlap acts as an algorithmic observable ...

Hypothesis:Accurate determination of interfacial tension values is crucial for many modeling applications in the oil and gas industry. However, many of the presently used empirical and theoretical models show poor prediction accuracy and do not allow for direct consideration of the concentrations of gases and salts dissolved in the system as well as the specific ...

Accurate prediction of complex formulation viscosity is crucial for the lubricant industry and engineering processes. However, developing generalizable models remains challenging due to the complexity of industrial mixtures and the scarcity of public experimental data, often resulting from corporate proprietary restrictions. This study presents a machine-learning workflow for viscosity estimation from a proprietary pseudonymized dataset, ...

The concept of representative volume (REV, or RVE in material sciences) is the cornerstone of continuum scale models – one needs to get the volume big enough so that it could be represented with an averaged value (scalar, vector or tensorial, etc.). While REV should be established in all larger scale simulations, this is rarely ...

Abstract The low-energy plasmonic properties of a free-standing Au (111) monolayer, frequently referred to as goldene, are investigated by time-dependent density functional theory in the random phase approximation. In the evaluation of dielectric and loss functions, the first-principle, band structure characterized by a single s − p energy band at the Fermi level is taken ...

We study the density-matrix kinetics of a charged test particle in two types of Coulomb environment. For a prescribed Gaussian potential, averaging the random-unitary dynamics leads to a Born–Novikov memory equation; Novikov’s identity is exact, but its closure requires a second-order approximation. An equilibrium quantum bath instead yields a Born–Redfield equation with ordered correlators and ...

We study coherent electric manipulation of magnetic field induced localized states at a double kink of a helical edge in a HgTe/CdHgTe quantum well. An in-plane magnetic field opens a gap in the one-dimensional (1D) edge spectrum, while changes in the edge orientation generate localized in-gap states at the kinks. We show that, for suitable ...

We derive the local pressure tensor generated by the original Rosenfeld fundamental measure theory (FMT) for hard-sphere fluids from an arbitrary infinitesimal deformation. The variation of a finite-distance FMT kernel is written via the line integrals of the local deformation gradient along the straight segment connecting its end points. The resulting symmetric pressure tensor consists ...

Задача о возбуждении бегущих фонон-поляритонных волн на поверхности полярного кристалла падающей извне световой волной (с частотой, близкой к частоте решеточных колебаний) решена теоретически только для бесконечной открытой поверхности кристалла. В случаях, когда часть поверхности покрыта металлической маской, препятствующей проникновению возбуждающего излучения к атомам среды, и эта маска имеет произвольную форму, общепризнанного решения неоднородной задачи нет. ...
