Stable water droplets on composite structures formed by embedded water into fully hydroxylated β-cristobalite silica

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have revealed a novel wetting phenomenon with a droplet on composite structures formed by embedded water into(111) surface of β-cristobalite hydroxylated silica. This can be attributed to the formation of a composite structure composed of embedded water molecules and the surface hydroxyl(–OH) groups,which reduces the number of hydrogen bonds between the composite structure and the water droplet above the composite structure. Interestingly, a small uniform strain(±3%) applied to the crystal lattice of the hydroxylated silica surface can result in a notable change of the contact angles(> 40°) on the surface. The finding provides new insights into the correlation between the molecular-scale interfacial water structures and the macroscopic wettability of the hydroxylated silica surface.     

First Principles Study on Electronic Structure of PbFe0.5Nb0.5O3

The full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method is used to study the crystal structure and electronic structure properties of PbFeo.5 Nbo.5O3 (PFN). The optimized crystal structure, density of states, band structure and electron density distribution have been obtained to understand the ferroelectric behaviour of PFN.The analysis result of the density of states shows there is an obvious change of Nbd states in the paraelectric-to-ferroelectric phase transition. The polarization result shows that the contribution to ferroelectricity of Nb atoms is larger than that of Fe atoms. In ferroelectric phase there is a hybridization of Fed-Op and Nbd-Opin ferroelectric PFN. This is consistent with the result of the electronic band structure. This hybridization is responsible for the tendency to its ferroelectricity.     

A Quasi-One-Dimensional Model for a Chain of Water Molecules on the Nanometer Scale

Water confined into the interior channels of narrow carbon nanotubes or transmembrane proteins can form collectively oriented molecular chains held together by tight hydrogen bonds. We develop a quasi-one-dimensional model for a chain of water molecules which interact with each other via the Coulomb and power-like repulsive interactions. We explore the equilibrium property of the water chain and derive an exact analytical expression for the total interaction energy of the water chain, denoted by W（0）int. It is found that W（0）int is minimal when the distance between the two neighboring water molecules in a hydrogen-bonded chain is equal to 0.265 nm. The model is expected to be useful for studying analytically the properties of single-file water molecules inside water channels, such as the concerted motion of water molecules.

三苯基咔咯金属配合物的振动光谱和DFT计算

对三苯基咔咯金属配合物(MTPC, M=Ni, Cu, Co, Mn)的拉曼和红外光谱进行了实验研究. 用DFT方法计算了其基态几何结构以及红外和拉曼光谱,并基于计算结果对测量到的振动谱带进行了局域坐标归属. 研究发现,由于对称性降低,咔咯金属配合物的振动光谱比卟啉金属配合物更为复杂,若干咔咯骨架振动与苯取代基强烈耦合.考察了拉曼和红外谱带频率变化与咔咯环结构的关系,发现随着环内核尺寸的减小,与C^I_αC^I_α键伸缩振动和C?Cm键伸缩振动相关的拉曼谱带频率增加,其中C^I_αC^I_α伸缩振动的拉曼谱带对环内核尺寸的变化更为敏感且呈良好的线性关系,可以作为反映金属咔咯骨架结构变化的特征谱带.

High density gas state at water/graphite interface studied by molecular dynamics simulation

In this paper molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study the accumulation behaviour of N2 and H2 at water/graphite interface under ambient temperature and pressure. It finds that both N2 and H2 molecules can accumulate at the interface and form one of two states according to the ratio of gas molecules number to square of graphite surface from our simulation results： gas films （pancake-like） for a larger ratio and nanobubbles for a smaller ratio. In addition, we discuss the stabilities of nanobubbles at different environment temperatures. Surprisingly, it is found that the density of both kinds of gas states can be greatly increased, even comparable with that of the liquid N2 and liquid H2. The present results are expected to be helpful for the understanding of the stable existence of gas film （pancake-like） and nanobubbles.
