As soon as an idea is expressed in a physical medium, such as writing a paper, it qualifies for copyright protection. Copyright is a legal right that gives the copyright holder exclusive rights over how others use their work. The level and type of protection offered by copyright varies between countries. A form of intellectual property, copyright can be dealt with like other types of property – it can be acquired, disposed of or licensed. Copyright is time-limited. The period of protection varies, but in most countries a journal article created at the present time will be protected for between 50 and 70 years from the death of the last surviving author. By means of a number of local and international laws and conventions, copyright which arises in one country is recognised and protected in many others. Treatment of copyright in the digital environment is evolving at an unprecedented rate. Copyright exists to protect the rights of an owner of an original piece of work by imposing restrictions on reuse but it does not always fit well with how we use and share information in the digital sphere. -

Report of the MPSAC Subcommittee for the Review of the Physics
Report of the MPSAC Subcommittee for the Review of the Physics Frontiers Centers Program of the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences 6/28/2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A subcommittee of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate of Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) Advisory Committee (MPSAC) was charged to “conduct an independent assessment” of the Physics Frontiers Center (PFC) program with the following desired outcomes: “Rather than providing specific recommendations, the subcommittee should identify strengths and weaknesses of the PFC program and issues that the Division can address in developing and evolving the program.” The subcommittee was provided with the annual reports of each of the PFCs, their diversity plans, the reports of site-visit teams that visit at years 3 and 5 of the center’s award, and the proposal solicitations. The subcommittee’s evaluation of the relative success of the program is based on the subcommittee’s holistic scientific expertise and judgment. Other sources of input were the PFCs themselves and the broader physics community. STRENGTHS OF THE PFC PROGRAM A. The PFC Environment The subcommittee noted numerous advantages of the PFC program that contribute significantly to the goal of advancing the frontiers of physics. These advantages include: • PFCs Foster Collaborations • PFCs Enable Rapid Responses to Research Developments • PFCs Provide Local Oversight Over Research Progress • Postdoctoral Researchers Mature More Rapidly Within PFCs • PFCs Offer Additional Unique Opportunities to Pursue Research • PFCs Enable the U.S.A. to Better Compete Globally The PFCs create a vibrant and collaborative environment for research and learning. A critical mass of investigators, post-docs, graduate students, and undergraduate researchers are brought into a large collective educational environment with regular seminars and career-building activities, wide-ranging interactions, and distributed mentoring. -

Machine Learning for Condensed Matter Physics
Review Article Machine Learning for Condensed Matter Physics Edwin A. Bedolla-Montiel1, Luis Carlos Padierna1 and Ram´on Casta~neda-Priego1 1 Divisi´onde Ciencias e Ingenier´ıas,Universidad de Guanajuato, Loma del Bosque 103, 37150 Le´on,Mexico E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Condensed Matter Physics (CMP) seeks to understand the microscopic interactions of matter at the quantum and atomistic levels, and describes how these interactions result in both mesoscopic and macroscopic properties. CMP overlaps with many other important branches of science, such as Chemistry, Materials Science, Statistical Physics, and High-Performance Computing. With the advancements in modern Machine Learning (ML) technology, a keen interest in applying these algorithms to further CMP research has created a compelling new area of research at the intersection of both fields. In this review, we aim to explore the main areas within CMP, which have successfully applied ML techniques to further research, such as the description and use of ML schemes for potential energy surfaces, the characterization of topological phases of matter in lattice systems, the prediction of phase transitions in off-lattice and atomistic simulations, the interpretation of ML theories with physics- inspired frameworks and the enhancement of simulation methods with ML algorithms. We also discuss in detial the main challenges and drawbacks of using ML methods on CMP problems, as well as some perspectives for future developments.

Member Services 2018
AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Member Services 2018 JANUARY – DECEMBER 2018 GUIDELINES FOR PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT The Constitution of the American Physical Society states that the objective of the Society shall be the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It is the purpose of this statement to advance that objective by presenting ethical guidelines for Society members. Each physicist is a citizen of the community of science. Each shares responsibility for the welfare of this community. Science is best advanced when there is mutual trust, based upon honest behavior, throughout the community. Acts of deception, or any other acts that deliberately compromise the advancement of science, are unacceptable. Honesty must be regarded as the cornerstone of ethics in science. Professional integrity in the formulation, conduct, and report- ing of physics activities reflects not only on the reputations of individual physicists and their organizations, but also on the image and credibility of the physics profession as perceived by scientific colleagues, government and the public. It is important that the tradition of ethical behavior be carefully maintained and transmitted with enthusiasm to future generations. The following are the minimal standards of ethical behavior relating to several critical aspects of the physics profession. Physicists have an individual and a collective responsibility to ensure that there is no compromise with these guidelines. RESEARCH RESULTS The results of research should be recorded and maintained in a form that allows analysis and review. Research data should be immediately available to scientific collaborators. Following publication, the data should be retained for a reasonable period in order to be available promptly and completely to responsible scientists. -

Field Theory for Magnetic Monopoles in (Square, Artificial) Spin Ice Field Theory for Magnetic Monopoles in (Square, Artificial) Spin Ice Cristiano Nisoli1 Theoretical Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, 87545, USA (Dated: 21 May 2020) Proceeding from the more general to the more concrete, we propose an equilibrium field theory describing spin ice systems in terms of topological charges and magnetic monopoles. We show that for a spin ice on a graph, the entropic interaction in a Gaussian approximation is the inverse of the graph Laplacian matrix, while the screening function for external charges is the inverse of the screened laplacian. We particularize the treatment to square and pyrochlore ice. For square ice we highlight the gauge-free duality between direct and perpendicular structure in terms of symmetry between charges and currents, typical of magnetic fragmentation in a two-dimensional setting. We derive structure factors, correlations, correlation lengths, and susceptibilities for spins, topological charges, and currents. We show that the divergence of the correlation length at low temperature is exponential and inversely proportional to the mean square charge. While in three dimension real and entropic interactions among monopoles are both 3D-Coulomb, in two dimension the former is a 3D-Coulomb and the latter 2D-Coulomb, or logarithmic, leading to weak singularities in correspondence of the pinch points and destroying charge screening. This suggests that the monopole plasma of square ice is a magnetic charge insulator. CONTENTS I. Introduction 2 II. Graph Spin Ice 3 A. Spins on a Graph3 1. Ice Manifold4 2. Coulomb Phases5 3.

Researchers Publish Review Article on the Physics of Interacting Particles 29 December 2020
Researchers publish review article on the physics of interacting particles 29 December 2020 wide range of branches of physics—from biophysics to quantum mechanics. The article is a so-called review article and was written by physicists Michael te Vrugt and Prof. Raphael Wittkowski from the Institute of Theoretical Physics and the Center for Soft Nanoscience at the University of Münster, together with Prof. Hartmut Löwen from the Institute for Theoretical Physics II at the University of Düsseldorf. The aim of such review articles is to provide an introduction to a certain subject area and to summarize and evaluate the current state of research in this area for the benefit of other researchers. "In our case we deal with a theory used in very many areas—the so- called dynamical density functional theory (DDFT)," explains last author Raphael Wittkowski. "Since we deal with all aspects of the subject, the article turned out to be very long and wide-ranging." DDFT is a method for describing systems consisting of a large number of interacting particles such as are found in liquids, for example. Understanding these systems is important in numerous fields of research such as chemistry, solid state physics or biophysics. This in turn leads to a large variety of applications for DDFT, for example in materials science and biology. "DDFT and related methods have been developed and applied by a number of researchers in a variety of contexts," says lead author Michael te Vrugt. "We investigated which approaches there are and how Time axis showing the number of publications relating to they are connected—and for this purpose we dynamical density functional theory. -
Coping with the Delineation of Emerging Fields: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology As a Case Study
Coping with the delineation of emerging fields: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology as a case study. Journal of Informetrics, forthcoming; v. December 20,2018 Teresa Muñoz-Écija, Benjamín Vargas-Quesada, Zaida Chinchilla Rodríguez* Abstract Proper field delineation plays an important role in scientometric studies, although it is a tough task. Based on an emerging and interdisciplinary field —nanoscience and nanotechnology— this paper highlights the problem of field delineation. First we review the related literature. Then, three different approaches to delineate a field of knowledge were applied at three different levels of aggregation: subject category, publication level, and journal level. Expert opinion interviews served to assess the data, and precision and recall of each approach were calculated for comparison. Our findings confirm that field delineation is a complicated issue at both the quantitative and the qualitative level, even when experts validate results. Keywords: Field delineation; Science classification; Research topics; Bibliometrics; Scientometrics Highlights: This study offers an updated literature review of NST as a delineated field. We provide an extended and unified NST search strategy suitable for two databases, Scopus and Web of Science. After formulating a conceptual framework as to how to employ different approaches described in the literature, we tried to delineate the NST field at the journal level through a seven-step procedure. Three approaches —at subject category, publication and journal levels— were adopted to explore and analyze these two databases. The results are compared, and we offer a detailed explanation of the topics related to the journals included in each level. At the publication level, we compare the potential of the micro-field classification system developed by Waltman and van Eck (2012) with the other two approaches.
