Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics calculations of the shear viscosity of supercritical carbon dioxide along the 313 K isotherm are reported. Three different intermolecular potential models of increasing complexity are considered: a spherically symmetric Lennard-Jones potential, a two-site Lennard-Jones potential, and a three-site potential which includes a quadrupole-quadrupole moment. Results ...

In this article, we address the question of significance of the parameters of differential Mueller matrix formalism. We show how the concept of mean value and uncertainty of the optical properties recently introduced to depict this differential matrix can be related to the random fluctuations of these optical properties. From the layered-medium interpretation introduced by Jones [J. Opt. Soc. A...

It is shown that the mean instantaneous intensity (MII) of a pulse propagating in an optical fiber affected by polarization mode dispersion is related to the frequency autocorrelation of the fiber's Jones matrix through a Fourier transform. A simple derivation of the diffusion equation satisfied by the MII and the autocorrelation function of a Jones matrix is described.

A Monte Carlo model for polarized light propagation in birefringent, optically active, multiply scattering media is developed in an effort to accurately represent the propagation of polarized light in biological tissue. The model employs the Jones N-matrix formalism to combine both linear birefringence and optical activity into a single effect that can be applied to photons as they propagate be...

We present third-order many-body perturbation theory calculations of the Lennard-Jones C3 coefficient for the alkali-metal atoms lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. All-order singles-doubles calculations of C3 are also presented for lithium, sodium, and potassium. For lithium and sodium the present values of C3 are compared with other theoretical and semiempirical values...

Different digital cameras have different spectral sensitivities and opto-electronic conversion functions (OECF’s), and therefore produce different data about the same scene. Correct interpretation of the data requires that it be presented in some sort of standard form. The most rigorous way to do this is to provide the raw data along with the camera color channel OECF’s and spectral sensitiviti...

We report the results of calculation of diffusion coefficients for Lennard-Jones liquids, based on the idea of time-scale invariance of relaxation processes in liquids. The results were compared with the molecular dynamics data for the Lennard-Jones system and a good agreement of our theory with these data over a wide range of densities and temperatures was obtained. By calculations of the non-...
