Adversarial reverse mapping of equilibrated condensed-phase molecular structures
2020
A tight and consistent link between resolutions is crucial to further expand the impact of multiscale modeling for complex materials. We herein tackle the generation of condensed molecular structures as a refinement -- backmapping -- of a coarse-grained structure. Traditional schemes start from a rough coarse-to-fine mapping and perform further energy minimization and molecular dynamics simulations to equilibrate the system. In this study we introduce DeepBackmap: A deep neural network based approach to directly predict equilibrated molecular structures for condensed-phase systems. We use generative adversarial networks to learn the Boltzmann distribution from training data and realize reve…
Adversarial reverse mapping of condensed-phase molecular structures: Chemical transferability
2021
Switching between different levels of resolution is essential for multiscale modeling, but restoring details at higher resolution remains challenging. In our previous study we have introduced deepBackmap: a deep neural-network-based approach to reverse-map equilibrated molecular structures for condensed-phase systems. Our method combines data-driven and physics-based aspects, leading to high-quality reconstructed structures. In this work, we expand the scope of our model and examine its chemical transferability. To this end, we train deepBackmap solely on homogeneous molecular liquids of small molecules, and apply it to a more challenging polymer melt. We augment the generator's objective w…
Calculations of Starting Currents and Frequencies in Frequency-Tunable Gyrotrons
2012
Cold cavity and self-consistent formalisms for starting current and frequency calculations in frequency-tunable gyrotrons are summarized. Numerical solution schemes of the corresponding equations are discussed. A specific case is analyzed in detail.
On-line vapor-phase generation combined with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry
2008
We present a critical review of on-line vapor-phase generation combined with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry for detection. We discuss different experimental approaches developed for generating the vapor phase based on different principles (e.g., thermal volatilization, acid-base, redox reaction and covalent hydride generation). Using examples of applications, we try to demonstrate the analytical potential of on-line vapor-phase generation in vibrational spectrometry in order to improve the selectivity and the sensitivity of the measurement step and to make environmentally-friendly procedures available for problem solving in the analytical laboratory. We pay special attention to int…
Excitation and detection geometries for Fourier-transform mass spectometry
1994
A short overview of current excitation and detection techniques for Fourier-transform mass spectrometry and related ion cyclotron resonance experiments is given, and some ideas are discussed which may lead to new developments.
High precision numerical estimates of acoustic phonon frequencies of nonspherical nanoparticles
2006
We introduce an adapted method for calculating the acoustic vibrational frequencies of arbitrarily shaped nanoparticles to high precision. Molecular dynamics simulation results are tested against exact solutions for a free sphere, a hollow sphere and a spheroid. This permits theoretical predictions of the frequencies of peaks in low frequency Raman spectra. Our results demonstrate that vibrational frequencies can be calculated for a wide range of low frequency modes with accuracies on the order of a tenth of a percent.
Properties and performance of a quadrupole mass filter used for resonance ionization mass spectrometry
1998
Abstract The performance of commercial quadrupole mass spectrometers (QMS) with a number of imperfections, as compared to the ideal hyperbolic geometry, has been characterized using the computer simulation program simion 3d version 6.0. The analysis of simulated QMS geometries focuses primarily on modeling of the internal potential, the study of field deviations, and the influence of finite length on performance of the QMS. The computer simulation of ion trajectories in the QMS field yields predictions for optimum working conditions and provides estimates for the resolving power and the maximum isotopic abundance sensitivity. Experimental measurements that confirm these expectations are pre…
Spectral investigation of spin echo emission
1993
Abstract The spectral content of the echo radiation emitted after a two-pulse sequence is measured in a two-level spin system. The spectral profiles exhibit maxima and zeroes of spectral density depending on the exciting sequence parameters. A calculation based on a vectorial model relates the zeroes to those packets that happen to be transparent to the second (refocusing) pulse. Moreover we report on a new spectral narrowing effect which we tentatively ascribe to the instantaneous diffusion.
New aspects of scattering and absorbing properties of atmospheric aerosol particles
1972
Abstract Knowledge of the scattering and absorbing processes of the atmospheric aerosol particles in the solar wavelength range is necessary in order to calculate the energy balance of the atmosphere. Both of these depend on the relative humidity of the air. Until now little was known of the behavior of the particles. This paper shows experimental and theoretical results of the real and imaginary part of the refractive index of the aerosol particles at different relative humidities.
Comparison of electron diffraction data from non-linear optically active organic DMABC crystals obtained at 100 and 300 kV
2000
During the recent past, we have synthesized a new class of molecules with intramolecular two-dimensional charge transfer upon excitation. The present report presents such a molecule, 2,6-bis(4-dimethylamino-benzylidene)-cyclohexanone (DMABC), with an unusually high value of the second-order non-linear optical (NLO) coefficients. In order to optimize the macroscopic NLO properties of the compounds, it is necessary to relate their first hyperpolarizability tensors at a molecular level to those at a crystal bulk level. This requires a complete structure determination and refinement. However, the growth of sufficiently large single crystals, which are needed for structural analysis and refineme…
