Revealing Hidden Orbital Pathways in NonThermal Hot Carrier Relaxation of MXenes via NonSecular Redfield Quantum Kinetics

Non-thermal carrier relaxation is routinely inferred from population dynamics or spectroscopic observables, yet neither class of quantity uniquely identifies the microscopic channels through which energy and coherence are redistributed. We introduce a pathway-resolved quantum-kinetic framework that simultaneously projects ultrafast relaxation onto orbital populations, directional inter-orbital transferes, coherence, spectroscopic visibility, and a hidden-pathway sector of the dynamical transfer network. Application to MXenes exposes strongly non-uniform orbital redistribution together with material-specific hierarchies of microscopic transfer channels. Temperature, excitation amplitude, and dissipative parameters modulate pathway competition and spectral amplitudes while leaving the identity of the dominant channels largely intact. Instantaneous transfer contributions, cumulative directional transfer, coherence, and spectroscopic visibility are shown to follow inequivalent hierarchical orderings. This non-equivalence isolates a set of hidden pathways that remain dynamically consequential despite weak conventional spectroscopic signatures. The resulting time energy coherence representation recasts nonthermal relaxation as a structured dynamical network comprising observable and hidden sectors, thereby providing a general methodology for resolving microscopic orbital transfer pathways in driven quantum materials.

Quantum Hydrodynamic Framework of Coherent Terahertz Emission in MXenes Driven via Engineered Femtosecond Waveforms

Coherent terahertz (THz) emitters based on low dimensional quantum materials have attracted significant interest for compact broadband photonic technologies. However, theoretical descriptions that consistently connect microscopic quantum dynamics to emitted THz radiation remain limited for MXenes, whose electronic properties are governed by transition metal d orbitals and chemically tunable surface terminations. A multiscale density-matrix formalism for coherent THz generation in metallic MXenes driven by engineered three color femtosecond waveforms is developed. Material-specific electronic structures are described by parameterized multiband tight binding Hamiltonians, while ultrafast carrier dynamics are treated using a non-secular Redfield master equation that explicitly retains interband coherence, carrier populations, electron phonon interactions, impurity scattering, and environment-induced relaxation. The transient photocurrent is explicitly decomposed into population and coherence driven contributions and linked to the emitted THz field through its time derivative, establishing a direct connection between microscopic quantum dynamics and macroscopic radiation. The results show that environmental coupling does not merely attenuate THz emission, but redistributes coherent and population currents and reshapes the emitted waveform in both the time and frequency domains. Systematic investigations of optical waveform parameters, effective electronic structure, and open system relaxation identify physically grounded strategies for enhancing broadband THz generation. The proposed methodology establishes a transferable microscopic design platform for connecting material specific electronic structure, quantum coherence, open system relaxation, nonlinear carrier transport, and coherent THz emission across MXenes and related low dimensional quantum materials.

Physics Based Triple Debye Dielectric Modeling and Multi Layer ADE FDTD Simulation of Terahertz Pulse Reflection for Breast Cancer Detection

Terahertz (THz) imaging has emerged as a promising non-ionizing modality for breast cancer assessment owing to its intrinsic sensitivity to tissue hydration. However, existing dielectric descriptions of biological tissue, largely restricted to single- or double-Debye models, fail to capture the multiscale relaxation dynamics governing broadband THz dispersion and absorption, thereby limiting the quantitative interpretation of reflected pulse signatures.Here, a physics based triple Debye dielectric framework is developed to quantitatively predict broadband THz-tissue interactions. The proposed model explicitly incorporates three physically distinct relaxation processes associated with free-water rotational dynamics, bound-water relaxation (τ_2), and ultrafast interfacial/macromolecular polarization (τ_3). Model parameters are obtained by nonlinear least-squares fitting to experimentally measured refractive-index data digitized from published THz time-domain spectroscopy measurements of ex vivo human breast tissue. Compared with conventional Debye formulations, the proposed model substantially improves the fitting accuracy, reducing the root-mean-square error from 0.7773 (single Debye) and 0.2976 (double Debye) to only 0.0199 for the triple-Debye model. Fullwave FDTD ADE simulations of realistic multilayer breast structures further demonstrate that reflected THz pulses encode tissue hydration through reproducible temporal signatures, including increased reflection amplitude, delayed pulse arrival, and enhanced waveform broadening in malignant tissue. Polarization and angle resolved Fresnel analysis further indicates that hydration-dependent pseudo-Brewster minima provide an additional contrast mechanism by selectively suppressing reflections from low hydration normal and adipose tissues.

Theoretical Analysis and PIC Simulations of Electromagnetic Wakefields Excited by Relativistic Beams in Magnetized Plasmas

This study presents theoretical and numerical investigation of the coupled longitudinal and radial wakefields excited by ultrarelativistic electron beams propagating through a cold plasma channel subjected to an external axial magnetic field. A fully causal three dimensional Green function formalism is developed directly from the linearized Maxwell fluid equations in the presence of the magnetized plasma dielectric tensor. This unified framework captures the complete electromagnetic response, including the induction of a transverse plasma current and the resulting hybridization of longitudinal charge separation dynamics with cyclotron driven transverse motion. The analytical treatment reveals how magnetization modifies the effective restoring forces, enhances wake amplitudes, and reshapes the radial focusing defocusing structure of the wake. To validate the theoretical predictions and explore realistic parameter regimes, extensive three dimensional particle in cell simulations are performed using the EPOCH code across wide ranges of plasma density, magnetic field strength, beam Lorentz factor, transverse beam radius, and longitudinal current profiles. The simulations demonstrate excellent quantitative agreement with the analytical Green function solutions, confirming that increasing plasma density substantially amplifies the initial wake amplitude while accelerating the damping of higher order oscillations. Application of an external magnetic field induces coherent high frequency radial oscillations, strengthens focusing forces, and produces a hybrid eigenmode whose properties are absent in the unmagnetized limit. Variations in the driver Lorentz factor lead to rapid convergence toward a universal ultrarelativistic wake structure, while the transverse beam profile controls the radial extent and balance between longitudinal acceleration and transverse focusing.
