We describe a method of extrapolation based on a truncated Kramers-Kronig relation for the complex permittivity ($epsilon$) and permeability ($mu$) parameters of a material, based on finite frequency data. Considering a few assumptions, such as the behavior of the loss tangent and the overall nature of corrections, the method is robust within a small relative error, if the assumed hypotheses hold at the extrapolated frequency range.

We study the behavior of wave propagation in materials for which not all of the principle elements of the permeability and permittivity tensors have the same sign. We find that a wide variety of effects can be realized in such media, including negative refraction, near-field focusing and high impedance surface reflection. In particular a bi-layer of these materials can transfer a field distribution from one side to the other, including near-fields, without requiring internal exponentially growing waves.
We present spin wave dispersions in MnO, NiO, and $alpha$-MnAs based on the quasiparticle self-consistent $GW$ method (qsgw), which determines an optimum quasiparticle picture. For MnO and NiO, qsgw results are in rather good agreement with experiments, in contrast to the LDA and LDA+U description. For $alpha$-MnAs, we find a collinear ferromagnetic ground state in qsgw, while this phase is unstable in the LDA.
Two-dimensional (2D) ZrS2 monolayer (ML) has emerged as a promising candidate for thermoelectric (TE) device applications due to its high TE figure of merit, which is mainly contributed by its inherently low lattice thermal conductivity. This work investigates the effect of the lattice anharmonicity driven by temperature-dependent phonon dispersions on thermal transport of ZrS2 ML. The calculations are based on the self-consistent phonon (SCP) theory to calculate the thermodynamic parameters along with the lattice thermal conductivity. The higher- order (quartic) force constants were extracted by using an efficient compressive sensing lattice dynamics technique, which estimates the necessary data based on the emerging machine learning program as an alternative of computationally expensive density functional theory calculations. Resolve of the degeneracy and hardening of the vibrational frequencies of low-energy optical modes were predicted upon including the quartic anharmonicity. As compared to the conventional Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) approach, the lattice thermal conductivity of the optimized ZrS2 ML unit cell within SCP + BTE approach is found to be significantly enhanced (e.g., by 21% at 300 K). This enhancement is due to the relatively lower value of phonon linewidth contributed by the anharmonic frequency renormalization included in the SCP theory. Mainly, the conventional BTE approach neglects the temperature dependence of the phonon frequencies due to the consideration of harmonic lattice dynamics and treats the normal process of three-phonon scattering incorrectly due to the use of quasi-particle lifetimes. These limitations are addressed in this work within the SCP + BTE approach, which signifies the validity and accuracy of this approach.
In order to reduce the difficulties in the experimental realizations of the cloak but still keep good performance of invisibility, we proposed a perfect cylindrical invisibility cloak with spatially invariant axial material parameters. The advantage of this kind of TE (or TM) cloak is that only rho and phi components of mu (or epsilon) are spatially variant, which makes it possible to realize perfect invisibility with two-dimensional (2D) magnetic (or electric) metamaterials. The effects of perturbations of the parameters on the performance of this cloak are quantitatively analyzed by scattering theory. Our work provides a simple and feasible solution to the experimental realization of cloaks with ideal parameters.
A numerical implementation of the transition state theory (TST) is presented which can be used to calculate the attempt frequency $f_{0}$ of arbitrary shaped magnetic nanostructures. The micromagnetic equations are discretized using the finite element method. The climbing image nudged elastic band method is used to calculate the saddle point configuration, which is required for the calculation of $f_{0}$. Excellent agreement of the implemented numerical model and analytical solutions is obtained for single domain particles. The developed method is applied to compare $f_{0}$ for single phase and graded media grains of advanced recording media. $f_{0}$ is predicted to be comparable if the maximum anisotropy is the same in these two media types.
