We find in this vein that among the models tested here, only the BR89 exchange hole seems more or less suitable for that purpose, while better approximations are still very much on demand. Analyzing the deviations of model exchange holes from the exact exchange hole in molecules such as H2 and Cr2 upon bond stretching reveals new aspects of the left-right static correlation.We investigate the rich phase behavior of strongly confined semi-flexible (SFC) polymer-nanoparticle (NP) systems using the graphics processing unit accelerated Langevin dynamics simulation. Hard nanoparticles (HNP) that repel each other and ideal nanoparticles (INP) that do not interact with the same species are used as model additives to a strongly confined semiflexible polymer fluid. Both types of NPs exclude the monomer beads in the same way, but they have qualitatively different effects on the SFC isotropic-nematic (I-N) transition. For the total volume fraction ϕtot 0.32), polymers and NPs separate into layers along the slit height and the NPs form crystalline microdomains. In contrast, INP additives always promote inter-polymer alignment for low to moderate monomer volume fractions (ϕm). Furthermore, we found that INPs form a droplet-like fluid domain in dense nematic polymer systems.Strong coupling between various kinds of material excitations and optical modes has recently shown potential to modify chemical reaction rates in both excited and ground states. The ground-state modification in chemical reaction rates has usually been reported by coupling a vibrational mode of an organic molecule to the vacuum field of an external optical cavity, such as a planar Fabry-Pérot microcavity made of two metallic mirrors. However, using an external cavity to form polaritonic states might (i) limit the scope of possible applications of such systems and (ii) might be unnecessary. Here, we highlight the possibility of using optical modes sustained by materials themselves to self-couple to their own electronic or vibrational resonances. By tracing the roots of the corresponding dispersion relations in the complex frequency plane, we show that electronic and vibrational polaritons are natural eigenstates of bulk and nanostructured resonant materials that require no external cavity. Several concrete examples such as a slab of the excitonic material and a spherical water droplet in vacuum are shown to reach the regime of such cavity-free self-strong coupling. The abundance of cavity-free polaritons in simple and natural structures points at their relevance and potential practical importance for the emerging field of polaritonic chemistry, exciton transport, and modified material properties.Persistent motion of passive asymmetric bodies in non-equilibrium media has been experimentally observed in a variety of settings. However, fundamental constraints on the efficiency of such motion are not fully explored. Understanding such limits, and ways to circumvent them, is important for efficient utilization of energy stored in agitated surroundings for purposes of taxis and transport. Here, we examine such issues in the context of erratic movements of a passive asymmetric dumbbell driven by non-equilibrium noise. For uncorrelated (white) noise, we find a (non-Boltzmann) joint probability distribution for the velocity and orientation, which indicates that the dumbbell preferentially moves along its symmetry axis. The dumbbell thus behaves as an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck walker, a prototype of active matter. Exploring the efficiency of this active motion, we show that in the over-damped limit, the persistence length l of the dumbbell is bound from above by half its mean size, while the propulsion speed v∥ is proportional to its inverse size. The persistence length can be increased by exploiting inertial effects beyond the over-damped regime, but this improvement always comes at the price of smaller propulsion speeds. This limitation is explained by noting that the diffusivity of a dumbbell, related to the product v∥l, is always less than that of its components, thus severely constraining the usefulness of passive dumbbells as active particles.Strong coupling between surface plasmons and molecular excitons may lead to the formation of new hybrid states-polaritons-that are part light and part matter in character. A key signature of this strong coupling is an anti-crossing of the exciton and surface plasmon modes on a dispersion diagram. In a recent report on strong coupling between the plasmon modes of a small silver nano-rod and a molecular dye, it was shown that when the oscillator strength of the exciton is large enough, an additional anti-crossing feature may arise in the spectral region where the real part of the permittivity of the excitonic material is zero. However, the physics behind this double anti-crossing feature is still unclear. Here, we make use of extensive transfer matrix simulations to explore this phenomenon. We show that for low oscillator strengths of the excitonic resonance, there is a single anti-crossing arising from strong coupling between the surface plasmon and the excitonic resonance, which is associated with the formation of upper and lower plasmon-exciton polaritons. As the oscillator strength is increased, we find that a new mode emerges between these upper and lower polariton states and show that this new mode is an excitonic surface mode. Our study also features an exploration of the role played by the orientation of the excitonic dipole moment and the relationship between the modes we observe and the transverse and longitudinal resonances associated with the excitonic response. selleckchem We also investigate why this type of double splitting is rarely observed in experiments.Within the self-consistent field approximation, computationally tractable expressions for the isotropic second-order hyperpolarizability have been derived and implemented for the calculation of two-photon absorption cross sections. The novel tensor average formulation presented in this work allows for the evaluation of isotropic damped cubic response functions using only ∼3.3% (one-photon off-resonance regions) and ∼10% (one-photon resonance regions) of the number of auxiliary Fock matrices required when explicitly calculating all the needed individual tensor components. Numerical examples of the two-photon absorption cross section in the one-photon off-resonance and resonance regions are provided for alanine-tryptophan and 2,5-dibromo-1,4-bis(2-(4-diphenylaminophenyl)vinyl)-benzene. Furthermore, a benchmark set of 22 additional small- and medium-sized organic molecules is considered. In all these calculations, a quantitative assessment is made of the reduced and approximate forms of the cubic response function in the one-photon off-resonance regions and results demonstrate a relative error of less than ∼5% when using the reduced expression as compared to the full form of the isotropic cubic response function.
