Gibbsian dynamics and ergodicity of magnetohydrodynamics and related systems forced by random noise

The magnetohydrodynamics system consists of the Navier-Stokes equations from fluid mechanics, coupled with the Maxwell’s equations from electromagnetism through multiples of non-linear terms involving derivatives. Following the approach of [1 Weinan, E., Mattingly, J. C., Sinai, Y. (2001). Gibbsian dynamics and ergodicity for the stochastically forced Navier-Stokes equation. Commun. Math. Phys. 224:83–106. DOI:10.1007/s002201224083.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], we prove the existence of a unique invariant measure in case the forcing terms consist of the cylindrical Wiener processes with only low modes. Its proof requires taking advantage of the structure of the non-linear terms carefully and is extended to various other related models such as the magnetohydrodynamics-Boussinesq system from fluid mechanics in atmosphere and oceans, as well as the magneto-micropolar fluid system from the theory of microfluids.     

Ground state solutions for Klein–Gordon–Maxwell system with steep potential well

In this paper, we study the following Klein–Gordon–Maxwell system $\left\{\begin{array}{c}-\Delta u+(\lambda a\left(x\right)+1)u-(2\omega +\varphi )\varphi u=f(x,u),\mathrm{in}{\mathbb{R}}^3,\hfill \\ -\Delta \varphi =-(\omega +\varphi )u^2,\mathrm{in}{\mathbb{R}}^3.\hfill \end{array}\right.$Using variational methods, we obtain the existence of ground state solutions under some appropriate assumptions on $a$ and $f$.

Functional Organic Semiconductors Based on Bay‐Annulated Indigo (BAI)

The advancement of organic electronics has been continually pushed by the need for stable and high performance acceptor materials. By utilizing inexpensive and stable indigo dye as a starting material, Bay‐Annulated Indigo (BAI) provides a new motif for the development of semiconducting materials. Modular and straightforward synthesis makes BAI an outstanding platform for molecular design, while excellent stability, strong absorption, and high ambipolar mobility render BAI‐based materials excellent candidates for organic electronics. BAI‐based polymers and small molecules have taken advantage of these properties to show promising results in a variety of applications.     

Inhibition effect of butan-1-ol on the corrosion behavior of austenitic stainless steel (Type 304) in dilute sulfuric acid

The electrochemical behavior of austenitic stainless steel (Type 304) in 3 M sulfuric acid with 3.5% recrystallized sodium chloride at specific concentrations of butan-1-ol was investigated with the aid of potentiodynamic polarization, open circuit measurement and weight loss technique. Butan-1-ol effectively inhibited the steel corrosion with a maximum inhibition efficiency of 78.7% from weight-loss analysis and 80.9% from potentiodynamic polarization test at highest concentration studied. Adsorption of the compound obeyed the Freundlich isotherm. Thermodynamic calculations reveal physiochemical interactions and spontaneous adsorption mechanism. Surface characterizations showed the absence of corrosion products and topographic modifications of the steel. Statistical analysis depicts the overwhelming influence and statistical significance of inhibitor concentration on the inhibition performance.
