Measurable spectra are theoretically very often derived from complicated many-body Greens functions. In this way, one calculates much more information than actually needed. Here we present an in principle exact approach to construct effective potentials and kernels for the direct calculation of electronic spectra. In particular, the potential that yields the spectral function needed to describe photoemission turns out to be dynamical but {it local} and {it real}. As example we illustrate this ``photoemission potential for sodium and aluminium, modelled as homogeneous electron gas, and discuss in particular its frequency dependence stemming from the nonlocality of the corresponding self-energy. We also show that our approach leads to a very short derivation of a kernel that is known to well describe absorption and energy-loss spectra of a wide range of materials.

Ab initio calculations of the magnon dispersion in ferromagnetic materials typically rely on the adiabatic local density approximation (ALDA) in which the effective exchange-correlation field is everywhere parallel to the magnetization. These calcula
tions, however, tend to overestimate the magnon stiffness, defined as the curvature of the magnon frequency vs. wave vector relation evaluated at zero wave vector. Here we suggest a simple procedure to improve the magnon dispersion by taking into account gradient corrections to the ALDA at the exchange-only level. We find that this gradient correction always reduces the magnon stiffness. The surprisingly large size of these corrections ($sim 30%$) greatly improves the agreement between the calculated and the observed magnon stiffness for cobalt and nickel, which are known to be overestimated within the ALDA.
We propose a novel photonic structure composed of metal nanolayer, Bragg mirror and metal nanolayer. The structure supports resonances that are transitional between Fabry-Perot and Tamm modes. When the dielectric contrast of the DBR is removed these
modes are a pair of conventional Fabry-Perot resonances. They spectrally merge into a Tamm mode at high contrast. Such behavior differs from the results for structures supporting Tamm modes reported earlier. The optical properties of the structure in the frequency range of the DBR stop band, including highly beneficial 50% transmittivity through thick structures, are determined by the introduced in the paper hybrid resonances. The results can find a wide range of photonic applications.
In the $GW$ approximation, the screened interaction $W$ is a non-local and dynamical potential that usually has a complex frequency dependence. A full description of such dependence is possible but often computationally demanding. For this reason, it
is still common practice to approximate $W(omega)$ using a plasmon pole (PP) model. Such approach, however, may deliver an accuracy limited by its simplistic description of the frequency dependence of the polarizability, i.e. of $W$. In this work we explore a multi-pole approach (MPA) and develop an effective representation of the frequency dependence of $W$. We show that an appropriate sampling of the polarizability in the frequency complex plane and a multi-pole interpolation can lead to a level of accuracy comparable with full-frequency methods at much lower computational cost. Moreover, both accuracy and cost are controllable by the number of poles used in MPA. Eventually we validate the MPA approach in selected prototype systems, showing that full-frequency quality results can be obtained with a limited number of poles.
Searching for performant multiferroic materials attracts general research interests in energy science as they have been increasingly exploited as the conversion media among thermal, electric, magnetic and mechanical energies by using their temperatur
e-dependent ferroic properties. Here we report a material development strategy that guides us to discover a reversible phase-transforming ferroelectric material exhibiting enduring energy harvesting from small temperature differences. The material satisfies the crystallographic compatibility condition between polar and nonpolar phases, which shows only 2.5C thermal hysteresis and high figure of merit. It stably generates 15uA electricity in consecutive thermodynamic cycles in absence of any bias fields. We demonstrate our device to consistently generate 6uA/cm2 current density near 100C over 540 complete phase transformation cycles without any electric and functional degradation. The energy conversion device can light up a LED directly without attaching an external power source. This promising material candidate brings the low-grade waste heat harvesting closer to a practical realization, e.g. small temperature fluctuations around the water boiling point can be considered as a clean energy source.
We present an effective and fast (few microseconds) procedure for transferring ultra-cold atoms from the ground state in a harmonic trap into the desired bands of an optical lattice. Our shortcut method is a designed pulse sequence where the time dur
ation and the interval in each step are fully optimized in order to maximize robustness and fidelity of the final state with respect to the target state. The atoms can be prepared in a single band with even or odd parity, and superposition states of different bands can be prepared and manipulated. Furthermore, we extend this idea to the case of two-dimensional or three-dimensional optical lattices where the energies of excited states are degenerate. We experimentally demonstrate various examples and show very good agreement with the theoretical model. Efficient shortcut methods will find applications in the preparation of quantum systems, in quantum information processing, in precise measurement and as a starting point to investigate dynamics in excited bands.
