Abstract:
Oscillator networks with an asymmetric bipolar distribution of natural frequencies are useful representations of power grids. We propose a mean-field model that captures the onset, form, and linear stability of frequency synchronization in such oscillator networks. The model takes into account a broad class of heterogeneous connection structures and identifies a functional form as well as basic properties that synchronized regimes possess classwide. The framework also captures synchronized regimes with large phase differences that commonly appear just above the critical threshold. Additionally, the accuracy of mean-field assumptions can be gauged internally through two model quantities. With our framework, the impact of local grid structure on frequency synchronization can be systematically explored.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
