Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Despite being considered a mature field, physics research continues to be a vibrant and active topic throughout the world, with the number of publications continually increasing over time. The continued interest in the application of physics and engineering mathematics demands new ways to share cutting-edge research in the field. Physics research is important not only from a fundamental point of view but for its engineering and industrial applications including machinery, electronics, material, and biological industries. The international competitiveness of those industries in a globalized economy is closely tied to their technologies and products.

The ICPEM2020 provides an opportunity to be part of scientific acceleration for world-class personalities, young scholars, scientific delegates, and young scientists to join in this conference to utilize the expertise and novelties that will lead to a new era for innovations in the field. It also provides a special channel to have open discussions, knowledge sharing, and interactive sessions with field experts.

This Special Issue will publish the latest physics and engineering mathematics research trends, including applications, advanced technologies, and processes. It covers several fields of physics and their technological applications, such as advanced theoretical physics, condensed matter physics, statistical physics, nonlinear mechanics, optics, atomic and molecular physics, quantum physics, biological modeling and information, chemical physics, materials physics, and other related topics. It also includes different fields of engineering mathematics, such as analytical models applied to electrical engineering smart grids and power distribution lines, mathematical models for engineering oceanography, mechanics and acoustics, and for different classes of metamaterials and sensors devices and other affine topics.

The dynamics of a stochastic system that exhibits large fluctuations to a given state are almost deterministic due to weak random perturbations. Such large fluctuations occur with overwhelming probability in the vicinity of the so-called optimal path, which is a vital concept in physics, chemistry, and biology, as it uncovers the way in which a physical process escapes from the attractive domain of a metastable state and transitions between different metastable states. In this paper, we examine the prehistorical description of the optimal fluctuation with the unifying framework of Langevin dynamics by means of a quantity called prehistory probability density. We show that the optimal fluctuation has a strong connection with the time reversal of the associated diffusion process. Specifically, in the stationary or quasi-stationary cases, it is found that the prehistory probability density actually acts as the transition probability density of the reversed process. As noise intensity approaches zero, it focuses on the average dynamics of the reversed process due to the law of large numbers, which is then shown to coincide with the time reversal of the optimal path. The local dispersion of the prehistory probability density can thus be reformulated as a Gaussian distribution corresponding to the linearized part of the reversed process. In addition, as an analogue of the original definition in the stationary states, it is proven that the concept of prehistory probability density can also be extended to nonstationary cases where similar properties are still valid. Based on these theoretical results, an algorithm is designed and then successfully applied to a one-dimensional example at the end, showing its accuracy for pinpointing the location of the optimal path and its efficacy in cases where multiple optimal paths coexist.

In this paper, we compare the performance of three different folding models when they are applied to three different map folding settings. Precisely, the three folding models include the simple folding model, the simple folding–unfolding model, and the general folding model. The different map folding settings are discussed by comparing different folded states, i.e., different overlapping orders on the set of the squares of 1 × n maps, the squares of m × n maps, and the squares lying on the boundary of m × n maps. These folding models are abstracts of manual works and robotics. We clarify the relationship between their reachable final folded states under different settings and give proof of all the inclusion relationships between every two of these sets. In addition, there are nine distinct problems with the three folding models applied to three folding settings. We give the optimal linear time solutions to all the unsolved ones: the valid total overlapping order problems of 1 × n maps, m × n maps, as well as the valid boundary overlapping order problems of m × n maps with the three different folding models. Our work gives the conclusion of the research field where the folding models and the overlapping orders of map folding are concerned. Full article

This work aims at the unification of the thermodynamically consistent representation of the micromorphic theory and the microdamage approach for the purpose of modeling crack growth and damage regularization in crystalline solids. In contrast to the thermodynamical representation of the microdamage theory, micromorphic contribution to flow resistance is defined in a dual fashion as energetic and dissipative in character, in order to bring certain clarity and consistency to the modeling aspects. The approach is further extended for large deformations and numerically implemented in a commercial finite element software. Specific numerical model problems are presented in order to demonstrate the ability of the approach to regularize anisotropic damage fields for large deformations and eliminate mesh dependency.

A broadband chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectrometer was used to detect the rotational spectra of the products of a chemical reaction in the gas phase from 1-18 GHz under the supersonic expansion condition. In natural abundance, pure rotational energy level transitions of tert-butyl chloride and its isotopologues (13C, 37Cl) were observed and assigned. The rotational spectral parameters (rotational constant, quadrupole coupling constant and centrifugal distortion constant) of these isotopologues were determined. The experimental results are in great agreement with the calculated values of quantum chemistry and the spectral parameters in the literature. The accuracy and the capability for chemical detection of our homemade rotational spectrometer were verified by this experiment. Full article

Currently, there are various calibration methods available to reduce the errors caused by the polarizing section of a dual-rotating-retarder polarimeter. Although these methods have high measurement accuracy, their robustness must be improved and the influence of the imaging section needs be discussed when they are applied in Mueller matrix microscopes. In this paper, a method of error source analysis and element calibration for the Mueller matrix microscope is proposed by using error transform coefficient matrices to account for the polarizing effect of the imaging section. Using Taylor expansion, an approximate linear relationship is established between the sources of errors and the Mueller matrix elements of the measured sample. From this relationship, error magnification coefficient matrices are calculated to determine the specific parameter errors in both the polarizing and imaging sections. Furthermore, elements in the fourth row or column of the error magnification coefficient matrix are especially important for the imaging section. The measurement and simulation results for an air sample and a quarter-wave plate sample as the standard samples, as well as a Daphnia organism sample with complex internal structure, are investigated and discussed. Furthermore, the comparison results reveal the effect of the imaging section on the birefringence characteristics of the Mueller matrix. With the proposed method, the maximum error can be reduced to be less than 0.01 for all the matrix elements and for the amplitude parameter of birefringence, even when the two system parameters a 2 and a 3 of the rotating mechanical part deviate from the default.
