Data for: Highly thermally conductive polybenzoxazine composites based on boron nitride flakes deposited with Copper particles

The diffraction peaks at 2θ=26.764, 41.597, 43.873, 50.149, 55.164, 59.559, 71.41, 75.932, 82.174 correspond to h-BN platelets. It was seen that the rest peaks could be exactly indexed to the pure cubic phase of Cu (JCPDS PDF#04-0836). The reflection peaks appearing at 2θ=43.297, 50.433 and 74.13 are indexed as (111), (200) and (220) planes of Cu, respectively, indicating that the sphere particle consisted of Cu only

Landscape Framework and Global Stability for Stochastic Reaction Diffusion and General Spatially Extended Systems with Intrinsic Fluctuations

Spatially extended systems are widely encountered in physics, chemistry, and biology for studying many important natural phenomena. In this work, we established a landscape framework for studying general stochastic spatially extended systems with intrinsic statistical fluctuations that can be applied to both equilibrium systems with detailed balance and nonequilibrium systems without detailed balance. We set up the master equation for general stochastic spatially extended systems (functional master equation) from two fundamental dynamical ingredients that characterize the elementary state transitions of spatially extended systems. We explored the entire spectrum of the various approximations of the functional master equation under certain conditions, from the functional Kramers–Moyal equation to the functional Fokker–Planck equation and its equivalent, the functional Langevin equation, to the macroscopic deterministic equation. We uncovered the Lyapunov functionals which are required to quantify the global stability and function of the system for both the deterministic and stochastic spatially extended systems. The global potential landscape functional for stochastic spatially extended systems can be quantified by the steady state probability distribution functional. In the small fluctuation limit, the potential landscape functional becomes the Lyapunov functional for the corresponding deterministic spatially extended system. The relative entropy functional (or free energy functional) proves to be the Lyapunov functional for the stochastic spatially extended systems. The potential landscape functional and the relative entropy functional quantify the global stability and function of the deterministic and stochastic spatially extended systems for both equilibrium and nonequilibrium conditions. The chemical reaction–diffusion systems as a typical and important class of spatially extended systems is explored on its own terms as well as used as a direct application of the general framework to derive more specific results for reaction–diffusion systems. A biological system, the bicoid protein concentration distribution in fruit fly embryo development, which can be modeled as a specific type of reaction–diffusion dynamics, is studied using the proposed framework. We found both the bicoid concentration and its fluctuation decay from anterior to posterior when the source producing the bicoid protein is located at the anterior point. The corresponding local funneled landscape basin of the bicoid concentration becomes narrower and steeper from anterior to posterior in such a case

A tight-binding model for the excitonic band structure of a one-dimensional molecular chain: UV-Vis spectra, Zak phase and topological properties

Recently organic optics becomes a hot topic due to the rapid development of organic light-emitting diodes, organic solar cells, and organic photon detectors. The optical spectra of the molecular semiconductors are difficult to solve an model from first-principles because (i) the very large number of atoms in a unit cell and (ii) the accurate theoretical excited state is still under development. Here we present a tight-binding model of an exciton band structure in a molecular chain. We take into account the intra-molecule and charge-transfer excitation within a molecular dimer in a unit cell, then we apply the tight-binding model by including the coupling between two types of excitations. We not only found that our calculations can explain a body of UV-Vis optical spectra of transition-metal phthalocyanines, but also a one-dimensional excitonic topological band structure if we fine-tune the couplings in a dimerized molecular chain. We have found a large space to obtain the topological Zak phase in the parameter space, in which there is a simple linear relationship between the hopping integrals between cells and within cell

Topological properties of a one-dimensional excitonic model combining local excitation and charge transfer

We have computed the Zak phase for a one-dimensional excitonic model, which takes into account dimerisation, local and charge-transfer excited states. There are four hopping parameters, which can be varied to give rise to a rich spectrum of physics. By turning on more than one parameters, we can find (i) the topological phase could be $\pi$ even for a uniform chain, which is related to topological order, (ii) there exist topologically nontrivial flat bands, suggesting an interesting correlation between flat bands and topology, (iii) exotic fractional phases, which are due to quantum interference and relevant to anyon and fractional statistics, and (iv) a phase transition related to second-order hopping event - excitonic hopping. We have also developed the concept of effective chiral states (linear combination of excitonic states) to interpret our calculations. Our model is sufficiently general to describe excitonic topological properties for one-dimensional chain structures formed by physical unit such as atom, molecule, semiconductor dopant, and quantum dot
