RESUMO
Mass spectrometry has revolutionized cell signaling research by vastly simplifying the analysis of many thousands of phosphorylation sites in the human proteome. Defining the cellular response to perturbations is crucial for further illuminating the functionality of the phosphoproteome. Here we describe µPhos ('microPhos'), an accessible phosphoproteomics platform that permits phosphopeptide enrichment from 96-well cell culture and small tissue amounts in <8 h total processing time. By greatly minimizing transfer steps and liquid volumes, we demonstrate increased sensitivity, >90% selectivity, and excellent quantitative reproducibility. Employing highly sensitive trapped ion mobility mass spectrometry, we quantify ~17,000 Class I phosphosites in a human cancer cell line using 20 µg starting material, and confidently localize ~6200 phosphosites from 1 µg. This depth covers key signaling pathways, rendering sample-limited applications and perturbation experiments with hundreds of samples viable. We employ µPhos to study drug- and time-dependent response signatures in a leukemia cell line, and by quantifying 30,000 Class I phosphosites in the mouse brain we reveal distinct spatial kinase activities in subregions of the hippocampal formation.

We present extensive new ab initio path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) results for a variety of structural properties of warm dense hydrogen and beryllium. To deal with the fermion sign problem-an exponential computational bottleneck due to the antisymmetry of the electronic thermal density matrix-we employ the recently proposed [Y. Xiong and H. Xiong, J. Chem. Phys. 157, 094112 (2022); T. Dornheim et al., J. Chem. Phys. 159, 164113 (2023)] ξ-extrapolation method and find excellent agreement with the exact direct PIMC reference data where available. This opens up the intriguing possibility of studying a gamut of properties of light elements and potentially material mixtures over a substantial part of the warm dense matter regime, with direct relevance for astrophysics, material science, and inertial confinement fusion research.
RESUMO
Rigorous diagnostics of experiments with warm dense matter are notoriously difficult. A key method is X-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS), but the interpretation of XRTS measurements is usually based on theoretical models that entail various approximations. Recently, Dornheim et al. [Nat. Commun. 13, 7911 (2022)] introduced a new framework for temperature diagnostics of XRTS experiments that is based on imaginary-time correlation functions. On the one hand, switching from the frequency to the imaginary-time domain gives one direct access to a number of physical properties, which facilitates the extraction of the temperature of arbitrarily complex materials without relying on any models or approximations. On the other hand, the bulk of theoretical work in dynamic quantum many-body theory is devoted to the frequency domain, and, to the best of our knowledge, the manifestation of physics properties within the imaginary-time density-density correlation function (ITCF) remains poorly understood. In the present work, we aim to fill this gap by introducing a simple, semi-analytical model for the imaginary-time dependence of two-body correlations within the framework of imaginary-time path integrals. As a practical example, we compare our new model to extensive ab initio path integral Monte Carlo results for the ITCF of a uniform electron gas, and find excellent agreement over a broad range of wavenumbers, densities and temperatures. This article is part of the theme issue 'Dynamic and transient processes in warm dense matter'.
RESUMO
The properties of hydrogen under extreme conditions are important for many applications, including inertial confinement fusion and astrophysical models. A key quantity is given by the electronic density response to an external perturbation, which is probed in x-ray Thomson scattering experiments-the state of the art diagnostics from which system parameters like the free electron density n_{e}, the electronic temperature T_{e}, and the charge state Z can be inferred. In this work, we present highly accurate path integral Monte Carlo results for the static electronic density response of hydrogen. We obtain the static exchange-correlation (XC) kernel K_{XC}, which is of central relevance for many applications, such as time-dependent density functional theory. This gives us a first unbiased look into the electronic density response of hydrogen in the warm-dense matter regime, thereby opening up a gamut of avenues for future research.
RESUMO
Warm dense matter (WDM) has emerged as one of the frontiers of both experimental physics and theoretical physics and is a challenging traditional concept of plasma, atomic, and condensed-matter physics. While it has become common practice to model correlated electrons in WDM within the framework of Kohn-Sham density functional theory, quantitative benchmarks of exchange-correlation (XC) functionals under WDM conditions are yet incomplete. Here, we present the first assessment of common XC functionals against exact path-integral Monte Carlo calculations of the harmonically perturbed thermal electron gas. This system is directly related to the numerical modeling of x-ray scattering experiments on warm dense samples. Our assessment yields the parameter space where common XC functionals are applicable. More importantly, we pinpoint where the tested XC functionals fail when perturbations on the electronic structure are imposed. We indicate the lack of XC functionals that take into account the needs of WDM physics in terms of perturbed electronic structures.
RESUMO
We present an effective static approximation (ESA) to the local field correction (LFC) of the electron gas that enables highly accurate calculations of electronic properties like the dynamic structure factor S(q,ω), the static structure factor S(q), and the interaction energy v. The ESA combines the recent neural-net representation by T. Dornheim et al., [J. Chem. Phys. 151, 194104 (2019)JCPSA60021-960610.1063/1.5123013] of the temperature-dependent LFC in the exact static limit with a consistent large wave-number limit obtained from quantum Monte Carlo data of the on-top pair distribution function g(0). It is suited for a straightforward integration into existing codes. We demonstrate the importance of the LFC for practical applications by reevaluating the results of the recent x-ray Thomson scattering experiment on aluminum by Sperling et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 115001 (2015)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.115.115001]. We find that an accurate incorporation of electronic correlations in terms of the ESA leads to a different prediction of the inelastic scattering spectrum than obtained from state-of-the-art models like the Mermin approach or linear-response time-dependent density functional theory. Furthermore, the ESA scheme is particularly relevant for the development of advanced exchange-correlation functionals in density functional theory.
RESUMO
Hydrogen at extreme temperatures and pressures is of key relevance for cutting-edge technological applications, with inertial confinement fusion research being a prime example. In addition, it is ubiquitous throughout our universe and naturally occurs in a variety of astrophysical objects. In the present work, we present exact ab initio path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) results for the electronic density of warm dense hydrogen along a line of constant degeneracy across a broad range of densities. Using the well-known concept of reduced density gradients, we develop a new framework to identify the breaking of bound states due to pressure ionization in bulk hydrogen. Moreover, we use our PIMC results as a reference to rigorously assess the accuracy of a variety of exchange-correlation (XC) functionals in density functional theory calculations for different density regions. Here, a key finding is the importance of thermal XC effects for the accurate description of density gradients in high-energy-density systems. Our exact PIMC test set is freely available online and can be used to guide the development of new methodologies for the simulation of warm dense matter and beyond.
RESUMO
We combine ab initio path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations with fixed ion configurations from density functional theory molecular dynamics (DFT-MD) simulations to solve the electronic problem for hydrogen under warm dense matter conditions [Böhme et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 066402 (2022)0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.129.066402]. The problem of path collapse due to the Coulomb attraction is avoided by utilizing the pair approximation, which is compared against the simpler Kelbg pair potential. We find very favorable convergence behavior towards the former. Since we do not impose any nodal restrictions, our PIMC simulations are afflicted with the notorious fermion sign problem, which we analyze in detail. While computationally demanding, our results constitute an exact benchmark for other methods and approximations within DFT. Our setup gives us the unique capability to study important properties of warm dense hydrogen such as the electronic static density response and exchange-correlation kernel without any model assumptions, which will be very valuable for a variety of applications such as the interpretation of experiments and the development of new XC functionals.
RESUMO
The electronic exchangeâcorrelation (XC) kernel constitutes a fundamental input for the estimation of a gamut of properties such as the dielectric characteristics, the thermal and electrical conductivity, or the response to an external perturbation. In this work, we present a formally exact methodology for the computation of the system specific static XC kernel exclusively within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) and without employing functional derivativesâno external input apart from the usual XC-functional is required. We compare our new results with exact quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) data for the archetypical uniform electron gas model under both ambient and warm dense matter conditions. This gives us unprecedented insights into the performance of different XC functionals, and it has important implications for the development of new functionals that are designed for the application at extreme temperatures. In addition, we obtain new DFT results for the XC kernel of warm dense hydrogen as it occurs in fusion applications and astrophysical objects. The observed excellent agreement to the QMC reference data demonstrates that presented framework is capable to capture nontrivial effects such as XC-induced isotropy breaking in the density response of hydrogen at large wave numbers.
RESUMO
The properties of hydrogen at warm dense matter (WDM) conditions are of high importance for the understanding of astrophysical objects and technological applications such as inertial confinement fusion. In this work, we present extensive ab initio path integral Monte Carlo results for the electronic properties in the Coulomb potential of a fixed ionic configuration. This gives us unique insights into the complex interplay between the electronic localization around the protons with their density response to an external harmonic perturbation. We find qualitative agreement between our simulation data and a heuristic model based on the assumption of a local uniform electron gas model, but important trends are not captured by this simplification. In addition to being interesting in their own right, we are convinced that our results will be of high value for future projects, such as the rigorous benchmarking of approximate theories for the simulation of WDM, most notably density functional theory.
RESUMO
The experimental investigation of matter under extreme densities and temperatures, as in astrophysical objects and nuclear fusion applications, constitutes one of the most active frontiers at the interface of material science, plasma physics, and engineering. The central obstacle is given by the rigorous interpretation of the experimental results, as even the diagnosis of basic parameters like the temperature T is rendered difficult at these extreme conditions. Here, we present a simple, approximation-free method to extract the temperature of arbitrarily complex materials in thermal equilibrium from X-ray Thomson scattering experiments, without the need for any simulations or an explicit deconvolution. Our paradigm can be readily implemented at modern facilities and corresponding experiments will have a profound impact on our understanding of warm dense matter and beyond, and open up a variety of appealing possibilities in the context of thermonuclear fusion, laboratory astrophysics, and related disciplines.
