TLDR
In this paper, the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation was shown to be similar to the velocity distribution of the electromagnetic spectrum of a single photon, and the formal similarity of spectral distribution curves to Maxwell's velocity distribution curve was revealed.
Abstract
The formal similarity of the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation to Maxwell’s velocity distribution curve is too striking to have remained hidden very long.

Quantum fluctuations of vacuum stress tensors and spacetime curvatures

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the quantum fluctuations of vacuum stress tensors and spacetime curvatures, using the framework of linear response theory, and deduce noise spectra for geodesic deviations registered by probe fields which determine ultimate limits in length or time measurements.

Rereading Einstein on Radiation

Daniel Kleppner
- 01 Feb 2005 - 
TL;DR: The concepts of spontaneous and stimulated emission are well known from Einstein's 1917 paper on radiation, but his theory of radiation comprises many other concepts, and the paper is a treasure trove of physics.

Decoherence and energy relaxation in the quantum-classical dynamics for charge transport in organic semiconducting crystals: An instantaneous decoherence correction approach

TL;DR: For a non-diagonal electron-phonon coupling model, it is shown that IDC tends to enhance diffusion while energy relaxation weakens this enhancement, and both the IDC-BM and IDCs achieve a near-equilibrium distribution at finite temperatures in the diffusion process.

A computational study on boron dipyromethene ancillary acceptor-based dyes for dye-sensitized solar cells

TL;DR: A series of (D-π)2-An-A based organic dyes containing a boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) moiety as an ancillary acceptor (An) derivative were chosen, and the effect of donor moieties (diarylamine, carbazole, azepine, and dibenzazepine) was investigated to understand their photophysical and photoelectrochemical properties by employing density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT as mentioned in this paper.
