表面活性剂与高分子链混合体系的模拟

计算机模拟了高分子链对表面活性剂胶束形成过程的影响，以及高分子链构象性质随胶束化过程的变化.结果表明,当高分子链与表面活性剂之间的相互作用强度超过临界值后，高分子链的存在有利于表面活性剂胶束的形成.临界聚集浓度（CAC）与临界胶束浓度（CMC）的比值CAC/CMC随高分子链长的增大和相互吸引作用的增强而减小.在CAC之前，高分子链与表面活性剂分子只有动态的聚集；但在CAC之后，表面活性剂胶束随表面活性剂浓度X的增加而增大，并静态地吸附在高分子链上，形成表面活性剂/高分子聚集体.随着表面活性剂分子的加入，高分子链的均方末端距和平均非球形因子先保持恒定；从X略小于CAC开始， 和快速减小，至极小值后又逐渐增大.模拟结果支持高分子链包裹在胶束表面的实验模型.

聚乙烯醇调控水溶性共轭聚噻吩的光学性质

针对发光共轭聚合物稀溶液在干燥形成固体时的荧光淬灭问题, 通过高分子聚乙烯醇(PVA)的氢键网络调控水溶性共轭聚噻吩在溶液中的聚集行为和构象, 并采用不同的干燥方式实现了调控其固体光学性质的目的. 紫外-可见光吸收、荧光发射光谱测试表明, 在水溶液中PVA可以分散共轭聚合物链, 并增强其共平面性; 高温干燥后, 聚噻吩薄膜与无PVA添加的聚噻吩溶液的荧光性质相似; 而采用冷冻干燥法, 薄膜则保留了添加PVA后混合溶液的发光特性. 该结果表明, PVA对聚噻吩在溶液状态下的聚集/分子构象的调控行为随干燥方式的不同得到了不同程度的保留——高温加热干燥仅维持了PVA对聚噻吩的分散作用; 而冷冻干燥则完整保留了PVA与聚噻吩的分子间相互作用, 将溶液中分子的分散状态和构象同时固定. 本研究从干燥方式的角度为固态共轭聚合物聚集行为及发光性质的调控提供了新的策略.     

外部电场下水分子间静电相互作用的分子动力学研究

本文利用分子动力学模拟探讨了不同外电场下,液态水的分子间作用及分子排布的变化. 在不同外电场下,O…O原子间的径向分布函数差别很小,但是单个水分子的偶极矩的取向变化却很大. 当外电场为0时,单个水分子偶极取向的范围很宽（30-150度）. 与此同时,本文给出了局域诱导电场随着位置的变化关系图. 当外加电场增强时,局域的诱导电场强度也随之增加. 由于电场下偶极矩有序性的增加,局域诱导的静电相互作用能显著增加. 计算结果表明,相对介电常数随着电场强度的增加而呈现指数衰减的变化形式. 这一变化趋势可以用来理解不同电化学环境下,静电相互作用和局域诱导电场的变化.     

Non-Gaussian statistics of electrostatic fluctuations of hydration shells

This paper aims to understand the statistics of the electric field produced by water interfacing a non-polar solute of nanometer dimension. We study, by numerical simulations, the interface between SPC/E water and a Kihara solute, which is a hard-sphere core with a Lennard-Jones layer at its surface. The distribution of the interfacial electric field is monitored as a function of the magnitude of a point dipole placed close to the solute-water interface. The free energy surface as a function of the electric field projected on the dipole direction shows a cross-over with increasing dipole magnitude. While it is a single-well harmonic function at low dipole values, it becomes a double-well surface at intermediate dipole moment magnitudes, transforming into a single-well surface again, with a non-zero minimum position, at still higher dipoles. This transformation, reminiscent of a discontinuous phase transition in bulk materials, has a broad intermediate region where the interfacial waters fluctuate between the two minima. This region is characterized by intense field fluctuations, with non-Gaussian statistics and variance far exceeding expectations from the linear-response approximation. The excited state of the surface water is found to be lifted above the ground state by the energy required to break approximately two hydrogen bonds. This state is pulled down in energy by the external electric field of the solute dipole, making it readily accessible to thermal excitations. The excited state is a surface defect in the hydrogen-bond network, creating a stress in the nearby network, but otherwise relatively localized in the region closest to the solute dipole.     

A determination of the effective temperatures for the dissociation of the proton bound dimer of dimethyl methylphosphonate in a planar differential mobility spectrometer

The dissociation of the proton bound dimer of dimethyl methylphosphonate to the protonated and neutral molecule has been studied in a planar differential mobility spectrometer. The internal energy of the ions is the sum of the thermal component and the electric field component and results in an effective temperature, T_eff, that is significantly greater than that of the ambient atmosphere temperature, T. The measured rate constant for dissociation, which rises exponentially with field strength, together with activation energy and pre-exponential factor previously determined under thermal conditions, allow the calculation of T_eff as a function of electric field strength. T_eff is a linear function of electric field intensity at constant T over the range of T from 60 °C to 140 °C. The efficiency of the available collision energy in causing dissociation decreases with increasing T, from 52% at 60 °C to 40% at 140 °C.     

The effect of electric field and Al doping on the sensitivity of hexa‐peri‐hexabenzocoronene nanographene to chloropicrin

It has been previously reported that the recently synthesized hexa‐peri‐hexabenzocoronene (HBC) nanographene cannot detect toxic chloropicrin (CP) gas. To overcome this problem, we examined the effect of Al doping and applying an electric field on the sensitivity of HBC towards CP gas by means of density functional theory calculations. We found that the Al‐doping process significantly increases the adsorption energy of CP gas from ?7.1 to ?39.9 kcal mol^?1 but decreases the sensitivity of HBC. By applying an electric field, the HBC is polarized with two different electrostatic potentials on its different surfaces, which increases the adsorption energy. By increasing the electric field strength, the adsorption energy and electronic sensitivity of HBC are increased. We predicted that in the presence of an electric field of about ?0.025 au, HBC can act as an electronic senor or a work function‐type sensor with a short recovery time. At this field, the electrical conductivity of HBC is significantly increased on CP adsorption which generates an electrical signal. Increasing the electric field to higher intensities is not favourable because of increasing recovery times, and decreasing it to lower intensities reduces the sensitivity of HBC.

Calculation of the Stark effect of neon I usingjl coupled wave functions

A method to calculate the Stark shifts and splittings in noble gases is described and results for neon I are presented. The energy values in a static homogeneous electric field are found by diagonalizing the energy matrix numerically. This matrix consists of the energy values of the free atom taken from experiment and of off-diagonal matrix elements of the electric field operator. The latter are computed using wave functions consisting of a radial function of the excited electron found by numerical integration, and of a two-particle (core+electron) spin-orbital part represented by rigorousjl coupling. As an example, the splitting of the levels 6s to 6p is shown and is explained in terms of atomic level positions, the relative size of matrix elements and of selection rules. A nomenclature for the high field Stark effect is developed in accord with group theory.     

Molecular binding at gold transport interfaces. III. Field dependence of electronic properties

The behavior of the electronic structure in a metal/molecular/metal junction as a function of the applied electric field is studied using density functional methods. Although the calculations reported here do not include the electrode bulk, or intermolecular interactions, and do not permit actual transport to occur, nevertheless they illuminate the charging, energy shift, polarization and orbital occupation changes in the molecular junction upon the application of a static electric field. Specifically, external electric fields generally induce polarization localization on the two cluster ends. The HOMO/LUMO gap usually decreases and, for large enough fields, energy levels can cross, which presages a change of electronic state and, if found in molecular electronic circuits, a change in transmission. The calculations also show changes in the geometry both of the molecule and the molecule/cluster interface upon application of the electric field. These effects should be anticipated in whole circuit studies.

On surface biaxiality

We propose the following: on the boundary of a nematic liquid crystal, the function which describes the molecular orientation is subject to a further symmetry condition, besides that reflecting apolarity. This additional symmetry delimits a class of biaxial states; within that class we study a model problem for a thin layer in which the anchoring energy prevails over the elastic energy in the presence of an electric field. We show that, when the anchoring and electric energies favour uniaxial states with optic axes at right angles, the equilibrium configuration migrates from one state to the other, traversing a whole family of biaxial states as the strength of the electric field increases.
