Abstract We introduce an analysis model, an extended Drude–Lorentz model, and apply it to Fe-pnictide systems to extract their electron–boson spectral density functions (or correlation spectra). The extended Drude–Lorentz model consists of an extended Drude mode for describing correlated charge carriers and Lorentz modes for interband transitions. The extended Drude mode can be obtained by a reverse process starting from the electron–boson spectral density function and extending to the optical self-energy, and eventually, to the optical conductivity. Using the extended Drude–Lorentz model, we obtained the electron–boson spectral density functions of K-doped BaFe 2 As 2 (Ba-122) at four different doping levels. We discuss the doping-dependent properties of the electron–boson spectral density function of K-doped Ba-122. We also can include pseudogap effects in the model using this new approach. Therefore, this new approach is very helpful for understanding and analyzing measured optical spectra of strongly correlation electron systems, including high-temperature superconductors (cuprates and Fe-pnictides).

The most widely used way to describe earthquake motions for purposes of design is the response spectrum, but it is often difficult to apply a response spectrum when dealing with multiple degrees of freedom or with complex representations of structural behavior. The power spectral density function, which is a more fundamental description of the frequency content of ground motion, has found increasing use and is essential in the most popular methods of developing artificial earthquake time histories. Although in theory the response spectrum and the power spectral density are closely related, in practice it has proven difficult to compute one from the other. Two integration schemes described in the literature have been implemented in an interactive micro-computer program SPEED and are found to give substantially identical results. When they are used to find a power spectral density function that corresponds to a standard design response spectrum, the results do not converge at frequencies above 10 Hz. Possible explanations for this lie in the shape of the prescribed standard response spectra, the methodology used to generate them, and the lack of statistical variation at high frequencies. When power spectral density functions are calculated for response spectra determined from a statistical evaluation of strong motion across the full range of frequencies, the calculations converge rapidly.

This paper presents a method of evaluating the response of a vertical offshore structure that is subjected to dynamic ice actions. The model concerns a loading scenario where a uniform ice sheet is drifting and crushing against the structure. Full scale data obtained at the lighthouse Norstro¨msgrund is used in the derivation of a method that applies both to narrow and wide structures. A large amount of events with directly measured local forces was used to derive formulas for spectral density functions of the ice force. A non-dimensional formula that was derived for the autospectrum applies for all ice thicknesses. Coherence functions are used to define the cross-spectra of the local ice forces. The two kind of spectral density functions for local forces can be used to evaluate the spectral density of the total ice force. The method takes account of both the spatial and time correlation between the local forces. Accordingly, the model provides a tool to consider the non-simultaneous characteristics of the local ice pressures while assessing the total ice force. The model can be used in conjunction with general purpose FE programs to evaluate the dynamic response of an offshore structure.

In an earlier paper by the author, as part of a construction of a counterexample to the central limit theorem under certain strong mixing conditions, a formula is given that shows, for strictly stationary sequences with mean zero and finite second moments and a continuous spectral density function, how that spectral density function changes if the observations in that strictly stationary sequence are "randomly spread out" in a particular way, with independent "nonnegative geometric" numbers of zeros inserted in between. In this paper, that formula will be generalized to the class of weakly stationary, mean zero, complex-valued random sequences, with arbitrary spectral measure.

Quasi-random nanostructures are playing an increasingly important role in developing advanced material systems with various functionalities. Current development of functional quasi-random nanostructured material systems (NMSs) mainly follows a sequential strategy without considering the fabrication conditions in nanostructure optimization, which limits the feasibility of the optimized design for large-scale, parallel nanomanufacturing using bottom-up processes. We propose a novel design methodology for designing isotropic quasi-random NMSs that employs spectral density function (SDF) to concurrently optimize the nanostructure and design the corresponding nanomanufacturing conditions of a bottom-up process. Alternative to the well-known correlation functions for characterizing the structural correlation of NMSs, the SDF provides a convenient and informative design representation that maps processing–structure relation to enable fast explorations of optimal fabricable nanostructures and to exploit the stochastic nature of manufacturing processes. In this paper, we first introduce the SDF as a nondeterministic design representation for quasi-random NMSs, as an alternative to the two-point correlation function. Efficient reconstruction methods for quasi-random NMSs are developed for handling different morphologies, such as the channel-type and particle-type, in simulation-based microstructural design. The SDF-based computational design methodology is illustrated by the optimization of quasi-random light-trapping nanostructures in thin-film solar cells for both channel-type and particle-type NMSs. Finally, the concurrent design strategy is employed to optimize the quasi-random light-trapping structure manufactured via scalable wrinkle nanolithography process.
