Nonlinear Stability of Taylor-Couette Flows with Heat Buoyancy

This paper investigates the nonlinear stability of Taylor-Couette (TC) flows incorporating the thermal buoyancy within an annular domain characterized by small viscosity $\nu$ and thermal diffusivity $\mu$. It is well established that the buoyancy induced convection significantly impacts practical industrial applications of Taylor-Couette flow \cite{Chen2006}. In contrast to \cite{An.2024}, we specifically examines the influence of the temperature gradients and the gravity on the stability of Taylor-Couette flows in this article. The thermal buoyancy term introduces a destabilizing radial derivative $\partial_r$ into the rotating TC system. To mitigate this destabilizing effect, we employ estimates involving the negative derivatives. Consequently, the additional viscous damping becomes necessary to counterbalance the buoyancy induced instability. Our stability criterion requires that the initial perturbations from the Taylor-Couette flow are bounded by a suitable power of the viscosity. Under this condition, we prove that solutions to the 2D Boussinesq system on $[1, R] \times \mathbb{S}^1$ remain close to the Taylor-Couette flow at the same order.

Acoustic limit of Boltzmann equations for gas mixture

In this paper, we study the hydrodynamic and acoustic limit from Boltzmann equations for two species gas mixture with potential $\gamma \in \left(-3, 1\right]$. % in the whole space $(x \in \mathbb{R}^3)$.Here the particle masses are different which derives to the loss of symmetry to the linearized collision operator. %This paper resolves it precisely by using a framework based on vector-valued functions. We construct the hydrodynamic limit for two species based on the Hilbert expansion method when the Knudsen number is small. The key observation is the precise properties of the linearized collision operators, including the extra operators due to the different particle masses $(m^A \neq m^B)$. In additional, the acoustic limit of the Boltzmann equations for gas mixtures is rigorously justified by assuming the strength of the initial data depends on the Knudsen number.

Classical solutions to the Boltzmann equations for gas mixture with unequal molecular masses

The Boltzmann equation is essential for gas thermodynamics,as it models how the molecular density distribution $F(t,x,v)$ changes over time. However, existing research primarily focuses on the single species Boltzmann equation, while investigations into gas mixtures with unequal molecular masses remain relatively limited. Notably, mixed gas studies have broader applications exemplified by Earth's atmosphere, composed of 78\% nitrogen, 21\% oxygen, and 1\% trace gases, where the $N_2$ to $O_2$ molecular mass ratio is 28:32 (simplified as 7:8). This work addresses the Boltzmann equations for such mixtures with unequal molecular masses $(m^A\neq m^B)$, establishing the global in time existence of classical solutions near Maxwellians for soft potentials ($-3<\gamma<0$) in a periodic spatial domain. Our analysis encompasses arbitrary molecular mass ratios. Our analysis encompasses arbitrary molecular mass ratios. The main contribution of this paper lies in the detailed characterization of the linear collision operator's structure and establishing estimates for the nonlinear terms under unequal mass conditions. Consequently, these results may help advance spectral analysis for soft potentials as well as $L^2,L^{\infty}$ frameworks in future studies of multi-component Boltzmann equations.

Hydrodynamic limit of the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system for gas mixture

In this paper, we study the hydrodynamic limit of the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system for a gas mixture in the whole space $(x \in \mathbb{R}^3)$ with the potential range of $\gamma \in\left(-3, 1\right]$. Using the method of Hilbert expansion, we first derive a bi-Maxwellian determined by the Euler-Poisson system of two fluids. To justify the convergence of the solution rigorously as the Knudsen number tends to zero, we sequentially calculate the first $2k-1$ terms of the expansion series $(k \geq 6)$, and then truncate it, and express the solution as the sum of these first $2k-1$ terms and a remainder term. Within the framework of the $L_{x,v}^2-W_{x,v}^{1,\infty}$ interplay established by Guo and Jang \cite{[ininp]Guo2010CMP}, we construct a new weight function to estimate the remainder term in four different cases regarding the potential $\gamma$. Here, the particle masses $m^A, m^B > 0$ and their charges $e^A, e^B$ can be given arbitrarily. This causes the collision operator to exhibit asymmetric effects ($m^A \neq m^B$), rendering the system of equations impossible to decouple. So, it adds difficulties to both $L^2$, $L^{\infty}$ estimates for the remainder. Therefore, we adopt the framework of vector-valued functions and analyze the velocity decay rate of the operator $K_{M,2,w}^{\alpha,c}$ to eliminate the singularity induced by small parameters in characteristic line iterations. Our results show that the validity time of the solution is $O(\varepsilon^{-y})$, where $y$ is $-\frac{2k-3}{2(2k-1)}$ when $-1 \leq \gamma \leq 1$, and it becomes $-\frac{2k-3}{(1-\gamma)(2k-1)}$, when $-3 < \gamma < -1$. These results possess strong physical realism and can be applied to analyze gas flow dynamics in the daytime ionosphere at high altitudes above the Earth.

Wireless Power Transfer and Intent-Driven Network Optimization in AAVs-assisted IoT for 6G Sustainable Connectivity

Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (AAV)-assisted Internet of Things (IoT) represents a collaborative architecture in which AAV allocate resources over 6G links to jointly enhance user-intent interpretation and overall network performance. Owing to this mutual dependence, improvements in intent inference and policy decisions on one component reinforce the efficiency of others, making highly reliable intent prediction and low-latency action execution essential. Although numerous approaches can model intent relationships, they encounter severe obstacles when scaling to high-dimensional action sequences and managing intensive on-board computation. We propose an Intent-Driven Framework for Autonomous Network Optimization comprising prediction and decision modules. First, implicit intent modeling is adopted to mitigate inaccuracies arising from ambiguous user expressions. For prediction, we introduce Hyperdimensional Transformer (HDT), which embeds data into a Hyperdimensional space via Hyperdimensional vector encoding and replaces standard matrix and attention operations with symbolic Hyperdimensional computations. For decision-making, where AAV must respond to user intent while planning trajectories, we design Double Actions based Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization (DA-MAPPO). Building upon MAPPO, it samples actions through two independently parameterized networks and cascades the user-intent network into the trajectory network to maintain action dependencies. We evaluate our framework on a real IoT action dataset with authentic wireless data. Experimental results demonstrate that HDT and DA-MAPPO achieve superior performance across diverse scenarios.

A Deep Learning System for Rapid and Accurate Warning of Acute Aortic Syndrome on Non-contrast CT in China

The accurate and timely diagnosis of acute aortic syndromes (AAS) in patients presenting with acute chest pain remains a clinical challenge. Aortic CT angiography (CTA) is the imaging protocol of choice in patients with suspected AAS. However, due to economic and workflow constraints in China, the majority of suspected patients initially undergo non-contrast CT as the initial imaging testing, and CTA is reserved for those at higher risk. In this work, we present an artificial intelligence-based warning system, iAorta, using non-contrast CT for AAS identification in China, which demonstrates remarkably high accuracy and provides clinicians with interpretable warnings. iAorta was evaluated through a comprehensive step-wise study. In the multi-center retrospective study (n = 20,750), iAorta achieved a mean area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) of 0.958 (95% CI 0.950-0.967). In the large-scale real-world study (n = 137,525), iAorta demonstrated consistently high performance across various non-contrast CT protocols, achieving a sensitivity of 0.913-0.942 and a specificity of 0.991-0.993. In the prospective comparative study (n = 13,846), iAorta demonstrated the capability to significantly shorten the time to correct diagnostic pathway. For the prospective pilot deployment that we conducted, iAorta correctly identified 21 out of 22 patients with AAS among 15,584 consecutive patients presenting with acute chest pain and under non-contrast CT protocol in the emergency department (ED) and enabled the average diagnostic time of these 21 AAS positive patients to be 102.1 (75-133) mins. Last, the iAorta can help avoid delayed or missed diagnosis of AAS in settings where non-contrast CT remains the unavoidable the initial or only imaging test in resource-constrained regions and in patients who cannot or did not receive intravenous contrast.

Enhanced dissipation and stability of Poiseuille flow for two-dimensional Boussinesq system

We investigate the nonlinear stability problem for the two-dimensional Boussinesq system around the Poiseuille flow in a finite channel. The system has the characteristic of Navier-slip boundary condition for the velocity and Dirichlet boundary condition for the temperature, with a small viscosity $\nu$ and small thermal diffusion $\mu,$ respectively. More precisely, we prove that if the initial velocity and initial temperature satisfies$$||u_{0}-(1-y^2,0) ||_{H^{\frac{7}{2}+}}\leq c_0\min\left\lbrace \mu,\nu\right\rbrace ^{\frac{2}{3}}$$ and $$ ||\theta_{0}||_{H^1}+|||D_x|^{\frac{1}{8}}\theta_{0}||_{H^1}\leq c_1\min\left\lbrace \mu,\nu\right\rbrace ^{{\frac{31}{24}}}$$ for some small constants $c_0$ and $c_1$ which are both independent of $\mu,\nu$, then we can reach the conclusion that the velocity remains within $O\left( \min\left\lbrace \mu,\nu\right\rbrace ^{\frac{2}{3}}\right) $ of the Poiseuille flow; the temperature remains $O\left( \min\left\lbrace \mu,\nu\right\rbrace ^{\frac{31}{24}}\right) $ of the constant 0, and approaches to 0 as $t\rightarrow\infty.$

Transition threshold for the 2-D Couette flow in whole space via Green's function

In this paper, we investigate the transition threshold problem concerning the 2-D Navier-Stokes equations in the context of Couette flow $(y,0)$ at high Reynolds number $Re$ in whole space. By utilizing Green's function estimates for the linearized equations around Couette flow, we initially establish refined dissipation estimates for the linearized Navier-Stokes equations with a precise decay rate $(1+t)^{-1}.$ As an application, we prove that if the initial perturbation of vorticity satisfies$$\|\omega_{0}\|_{H^{1}\cap L^1}\leq c_0\nu^{\frac{3}{4}}$$ for some small constant $c_0$ independent of the viscosity $\nu$, then we can reach the conclusion that the solution remains within $O\left( \nu ^{\frac{3}{4}}\right) $ of the Couette flow.

High-Q plasmonic crystal laser for ultra-sensitive biomolecule detection

Plasmonic lasers provide a paradigm-changing approach for the generation of coherent light at the nanoscale. In addition to the usual properties of coherent radiation, the emission of plasmonic lasers can feature high sensitivity to the surrounding environment, which makes this technology attractive for developing high-performance and highly-integrated sensing devices. Here, we investigate a plasmonic laser architecture based on a high-Q plasmonic crystal consisting of a periodic arrangement of nanoholes on a thin gold film cladded with an organic-dye-doped SiO$_2$ gain layer as the gain material. We report an extensive full-wave numerical analysis of the device's lasing performance and its application as a biochemical sensor, showing that the proposed design features excellent figures of merit for surface sensing that in principle can be over an order of magnitude larger than those of previously reported high-performance plasmonic biosensor architectures.

Molecular collapse in graphene: sublattice symmetry effect

Atomic collapse can be observed in graphene because of its large "effective" fine structure constant, which enables this phenomenon to occur for an impurity charge as low as $Z_c\sim 1-2$. Here, we investigate the effect of the sublattice symmetry on molecular collapse in two spatially separated charge tunable vacancies, that are located on the same (A-A type) or different (A-B type) sublattices. We find that the broken sublattice symmetry: (1) does not affect the location of the main bonding and anti-bonding molecular collapse peaks, (2) but shifts the position of the satellite peaks, because they are a consequence of the breaking of the local sublattice symmetry, and (3) there are vacancy characteristic collapse peaks that only occur for A-B type vacancies, which can be employed to distinguish them experimentally from the A-A type. As the charge, energy, and separation distance increase, the additional collapse features merge with the main molecular collapse peaks. We show that the spatial distribution around the vacancy site of the collapse states allows us to differentiate the molecular from the frustrated collapse.

Transverse photon spin beyond interfaces

Photons possess spin degree of freedom, corresponding to clockwise and counter clockwise rotating direction of the fields. Photon spin plays an important role in various applications such as optical communications, information processing and sensing. In conventional isotropic media, photon spin is aligned with the propagation direction of light, obeying spin momentum locking. Interestingly, at certain interfaces, the surface waves decaying away from the interface possess a photon spin transverse to its propagation, opening exciting opportunities for observation of spin dependent unidirectional excitation in confined systems. Here we propose and realize transverse photon spin (T-spin) in the interior of a bulk medium, without relying on the presence of any interfaces. We show the complete mapping of the T-spin of surface modes to that of the bulk modes by introducing the coupling between electric and magnetic responses along orthogonal directions, i.e., the bianisotropy, into the medium. We further discover that an interface formed by two bianisotropic media of opposite orientations supports edge-dependent propagating modes with tunable cutoff frequencies. Our results provide a new platform for manipulating the spin orbit interaction of electromagnetic waves.

Dynamics of a micro-VCSEL operated in the threshold region under low-level optical feedback

Semiconductor lasers are notoriously sensitive to optical feedback, and their dynamics and coherence can be significantly modified through optical reinjection. We concentrate on the dynamical properties of a very small (i.e., microscale) Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) operated in the low coherence region between the emission of (partially) coherent pulses and ending below the accepted macroscopic lasing threshold, with the double objective of: 1. studying the feedback influence in a regime of very low energy consumption; 2. using the micro-VCSEL as a surrogate for nanolasers, where measurements can only be based on photon statistics. The experimental investigation is based on time traces and radiofrequency spectra (common for macroscale devices) and correlation functions (required at the nanoscale). Comparison of these results confirms the ability of correlation functions to satisfactorily characterize the action of feedback on the laser dynamics. Numerical predictions obtained from a previously developed, fully stochastic modeling technique provide very close agreement with the experimental observations, thus supporting the possible extension of our observations to the nanoscale.

Mechanism of substrate-induced anisotropic growth of monolayer WS2 by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations

Controlled anisotropic growth of two-dimensional materials provides an approach for the synthesis of large single crystals and nanoribbons, which are promising for applications as low-dimensional semiconductors and in next-generation optoelectronic devices. In particular, the anisotropic growth of transition metal dichalcogenides induced by the substrate is of great interest due to its operability. To date, however, their substrate-induced anisotropic growth is typically driven by the optimization of experimental parameters without uncovering the fundamental mechanism. Here, the anisotropic growth of monolayer tungsten disulfide on an ST-X quartz substrate is achieved by chemical vapor deposition, and the mechanism of substrate-induced anisotropic growth is examined by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. These results show that, besides the variation of substrate adsorption, the chalcogen to metal (C/M) ratio is a major contributor to the large growth anisotropy and the polarization of undergrowth and overgrowth; either perfect isotropy or high anisotropy can be expected when the C/M ratio equals 2.0 by properly controlling the linear relationship between gas flux and temperature.

Exploration of Micro-VCSEL Ultra-low Biasing Scheme for Pulse Generation

The generation of optical pulses at ultra low bias level, thus low energy cost, is explored in a commercial microcavity semiconductor laser in view of testing the principle of energy efficient information encoding in potential integrated schemes. Sequences of regular, highly nonlinear pulses with acceptable amplitude stability are obtained from a commercial device as potential sources of bits where the information is added by post-treatment (pulse removal). A discussion on the energy expenditure per bit is offered, together with the optimal frequency for pulse generation, which is found to lie slightly below the above-threshold value declared by the manufacturer.

MEMS approach to low-frequency broadband acoustic metamaterials

We experimentally demonstrate a simple micro-electro-mechnical systems (MEMS) approach to acoustic metamaterials and have observed the average increase of nearly 6 dB beyond the classic law for sound attenuation at low frequencies from 200 Hz to 1200 Hz. Here, we have also found that the MEMS metastructure, especially the cavity-backed micromembrane, contributes to 22.3% gain of sound transmission loss (STL) with a fill factor of perforation of less than 7.6%.

Giant Asymmetric Radiation from an Ultrathin Bianisotropic Metamaterial

Unidirectional radiation is of particular interest in high-power lasing and optics. Commonly, however, it is difficult to achieve a unidirectional profile in such a system without breaking reciprocity. Recently, assisted by metamaterials without structural symmetry, antennas that radiate asymmetrically have been developed, hence providing the possibility of achieving unidirectionality. Nevertheless, it has been challenging to achieve extremely high radiation asymmetry in such antennas. Here, we demonstrate that this radiation asymmetry is further enhanced when magnetic plasmons are present in the metamaterials. Experimentally, we show that a thin metamaterial with a thickness of approximately λ_0/8 can exhibit a forward-to-backward emission asymmetry of up to 1:32 without any optimization. Our work paves the way for manipulating asymmetric radiation by means of metamaterials and may have a variety of promising applications, such as directional optical and quantum emitters, lasers, and absorbers.
