Prof. Zhang's ACROS group receives major NSF grant
Natural dust particles and human-produced pollutants in the atmosphere affect Earth’s overall energy budget in different and nuanced ways. A new three-year, $620,000 NSF grant led by Zhibo Zhang, professor of physics and lead of the ACROS group (https://acros.umbc.edu/), will study how dust, pollutants, and water vapor in the atmosphere interact, to increase understanding of their overall effects on the global climate. Dr. Zhang’s group has a new graduate student opening to work on this project. (https://acros.umbc.edu/openings/)
Please see the UMBC news release for more details.

Aryal’s first article published as an Editors’s Pick
UMBC Physics PhD student Kamal Aryal, his PhD advisor Pengwang Zhai and their collaborators from NASA Goddard Space Flight center has recently published their work in Applied Optics. In this work, they have developed machine learning models based on Neural Networks which can be used to get the vertical profile of Instantaneous Photosynthetically Available Radiation (IPAR, and corresponding diffuse attenuation coefficients) from surface to euphotic zone depths in global oceans under a wide range of atmospheric and oceanic conditions. These models have high accuracy compared to existing semi-analytical models with significant superiority especially in coastal oceans.
IPAR regulates the amount of photosynthesis by phytoplanktons which plays a major role in fixing atmospheric carbon dioxide inside oceans. Their work has been highlighted in Applied Optics as an Editor’s pick.

Abstract: Instantaneous photosynthetically available radiation (IPAR) at the ocean surface and its vertical profile below the surface play a critical role in models to calculate net primary productivity of marine phytoplankton. In this work, we report two IPAR prediction models based on the neural network (NN) approach, one for open ocean and the other for coastal waters. These models are trained, validated, and tested using a large volume of synthetic datasets for open ocean and coastal waters simulated by a radiative transfer model. Our NN models are designed to predict IPAR under a large range of atmospheric and oceanic conditions. The NN models can compute the subsurface IPAR profile very accurately up to the euphotic zone depth. The root mean square errors associated with the diffuse attenuation coefficient of IPAR are less than 0.011 m-1 and 0.036 m-1 for open ocean and coastal waters, respectively. The performance of the NN models is better than presently available semi-analytical models, with significant superiority in coastal waters.

New article published by Ph.D. grad Brian Uthe & Matt Pelton
UMBC physics Ph.D. graduate Brian Uthe, his Ph.D. advisor Matthew Pelton, and their collaborator John Sader (currently at CalTech) recently published a review of work by their group and others about the use of vibrating nanoparticle to measure the unusual fluid dynamics that occurs even in simple liquids at picosecond time scales and nanometer length scales.
An overview of the research for a broad audience is available at https://funsizephysics.com/when-youre-small-liquids-behave-like-slippery-solids/

Abstract: Standard continuum assumptions commonly used to describe the fluid mechanics of simple liquids have the potential to break down when considering flows at the nanometer scale. Two common assumptions for simple molecular liquids are that (1) they exhibit a Newtonian response, where the viscosity uniquely specifies the linear relationship between the stress and strain rate, and (2) the liquid moves in tandem with the solid at any solid–liquid interface, known as the no-slip condition. However, even simple molecular liquids can exhibit a non-Newtonian, viscoelastic response at the picosecond time scales that are characteristic of the motion of many nanoscale objects; this viscoelasticity arises because these time scales can be comparable to those of molecular relaxation in the liquid. In addition, even liquids that wet solid surfaces can exhibit nanometer-scale slip at those surfaces. It has recently become possible to interrogate the viscoelastic response of simple liquids and associated nanoscale slip using optical measurements of the mechanical vibrations of metal nanoparticles. Plasmon resonances in metal nanoparticles provide strong optical signals that can be accessed by several spectroscopies, most notably ultrafast transient-absorption spectroscopy. These spectroscopies have been used to measure the frequency and damping rate of acoustic oscillations in the nanoparticles, providing quantitative information about mechanical coupling and exchange of mechanical energy between the solid particle and its surrounding liquid. This information, in turn, has been used to elucidate the rheology of viscoelastic simple liquids at the nanoscale in terms of their constitutive relations, taking into account separate viscoelastic responses for both shear and compressible flows. The nanoparticle vibrations have also been used to provide quantitative measurements of slip lengths on the single-nanometer scale. Viscoelasticity has been shown to amplify nanoscale slip, illustrating the interplay between different aspects of the unconventional fluid dynamics of simple liquids at nanometer length scales and picosecond time scales.
