In this work, we merge the approach with the so-called auxiliary master equation approach. As a benchmark, we first show that our approach reproduces the results of quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) for two-orbital impurity models at equilibrium with overall good accuracy, especially for nondegenerate orbitals. We then use our approach as an impurity solver for dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) to address the case of a two-orbital, realistic layered structure, recovering the strong crystal-field-driven charge polarization observed by solving the DMFT self-consistent cycle with QMC, albeit slightly reduced. Finally, we address a prototype nonequilibrium setup by sandwiching this layer between metallic contacts subject to a bias voltage described by different chemical potentials. This simplified model demonstrates our method's potential to access nonequilibrium steady-state behavior of multiorbital, realistic materials. These findings provide a first-step basis for theoretical studies of nonequilibrium properties of multiorbital compounds directly in the real frequency domain.","PeriodicalId":20082,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review B","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145260670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Notably, this superconducting heterojunction exhibits a magnetoresistance of 0.25% at 2 K, approximately two times higher than that observed at elevated temperatures. The magnetic proximity effect in CsV3Sb5 modulates superconductivity by suppressing spin-singlet Cooper pairing and enabling spin-triplet states. The interplay between magnetism and superconductivity not only elucidates the coexistence of competing electronic orders in CsV3Sb5 but also highlights the potential of such heterojunctions for energy-efficient, high-performance spintronic devices.

To compare the sensitivity of future direct detection experiments with existing constraints, we consider three models with interactions that are mediated by spin-0 or spin-1 particles.

The computational burden of three-dimensional, fully flexible dynamic powertrain model simulations leads to the proposal for a reduced order model (ROM). The latter is developed by integrating lumped parameter and finite-element (FE) modelling methods, considering electromagnetic effects, local nonlinearities, structural flexibility and housing mobility. The ROM provides a way to predict the radiated noise from the combined e-motor, drivetrain system and housing, offering a more economical way to predict the powertrain’s sound quality. The utilisation of the prominent ratio in psychoacoustic analysis for the radiated noise is completed by adopting established neural network techniques. Moreover, the ROM results are validated by multi-body dynamics simulations and experimental measurements.

By gating and inpainting the data, we discard the contamination from earlier parts of the gravitational wave signal before ringdown. This enables parameter estimation to be conducted in the frequency domain, which is mathematically equivalent to the time domain method. We keep the settings as similar as possible to the previous studies by Cotesta [] and Isi [; ] which yielded conflicting results on the Bayes factor of the overtone. Our aim is to understand how different data analysis systematics, including sampling rates, erroneous timestamps, and the frequency resolution of the noise power spectrum, would influence the statistical significance of an overtone. Our main results indicate the following: (i) a low-resolution estimation of the noise power spectrum tends to diminish the significance of overtones, (ii) adjusting the start time to a later digitized point reduces the significance of overtones, and (iii) overtone evidence varies with different sampling rates if the start time is too early, indicating that the overtone is a poor model, hence we propose a convergence test to verify the validity of an overtone model. With these issues addressed, we find the Bayes factors for the overtone to range from 10 to 26 in a range of times centered at the best-fit merger time of GW150914, which supports the existence of an overtone in agreement with the conclusions of Isi in the above papers. These results are obtained by keeping the start time and sky location fixed, enabling a direct comparison with other work. Marginalizing over these parameters would lower the Bayes factor to 1 for the evidence of an overtone.","PeriodicalId":20167,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review D","volume":"159 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145260788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
