Derivation of the transport equation for electrons moving through random impurities

A single (nonrelativistic, spinless) electron subject to a constant external electric field interacts with impurities located on an infinitely extended lattice by a potential of random strength. The random strength is given by a field of Gaussian random variables. We show the existence of the averaged dynamics and prove that in the weak coupling limit, 0, ₂ t= fixed, one obtains the usual transport equation for the velocity distribution.Work supported by a Max Kade Foundation fellowship.On leave of absence of the Fachbereich Physik der Universität München.     

Partial molar volumes of amino acid derivatives in water

The partial molar volumes at infinite dilution for a number of hydrochlorides and sodium salts of N-methyl derivatives of , -aminocarboxylic acids in water at 25°C are measured and related to their van der Waals volumes. Results indicate that 4.96±0.48 water molecules hydrate a betaine hydrochloride. Volumes of proton ionization and interaction terms are evaluated. Group contributions to the partial molar volumes are also reported.     

Three-dimensional quantum dynamics study of vibrational predissociation of HeI_2 van der Waals molecule for low vibrational excitation using the time-dependent wave packet method

Three-dimensional quantum mechanical calculations for vibrational predissociation of HeI2(B) van der Waals molecules are presented using the time-dependent wave packet technique within the golden rule approxima tion.The total and partial decay widths,lifetimes,rates and their dependence on initial vibrational states were obtained for HeI2 at low initial vibrational excited levels.Our calculations show that the calculated tota decay widths,lifetimes and rates agree well with those extrapolated from experimental data available The predicted total decay widths as a function of initial vibrational states exhibit highly nonlinear behavior.The very short propagation time (less.than 1 ps) required in the golden rule wave packet calculation is determined by the duration time of the final state inter-action between the fragments on the vibrationally deexcited adiabatic potential surface.The final state interaction between the fragments is shown to play an important role in determining the final rotational distri     

van der Waals corrections to density functional theory calculations: Methane,ethane, ethylene,benzene, formaldehyde,ammonia, water,PBE, and CPMD

Parameters are developed for a practical application of the empirical van der Waals (vdW) correction infrastructure available in the CPMD density functional theory (DFT) code. The binding energy, geometry, and potential energy surface (PES) are examined for methane, ethane, ethylene, formaldehyde, ammonia, three benzene dimer geometries, and three benzene–water geometries. The vdW corrected results compare favorably with MP2 and CCSD(T) calculations near the complete basis set limits, and with experimental results where they are available.     

On the limitation of the van der Waals-Platteeuw-based thermodynamic models for hydrates with multiple occupancy of cavities

Thermodynamic models based on the van der Waals–Platteeuw statistical theory (Adv. Chem. Phys. 2, 1 (1959)) can be very accurate in describing hydrate equilibrium conditions, even for some occasions when multiple cavity occupancy occurs. These are cases outside the range of assumptions used for the development of the original statistical theory. However, during multiple cavity occupancy such models can perform poorly when calculating the cavity occupancies. This paper reports novel Grand Canonical Monte Carlo molecular simulations for the case of pure structure II N₂ hydrate and compares the calculated cavity occupancies with experimental data and observe reasonable agreement. Also examined are the van der Waals–Platteeuw-based modifications that retained the single-occupancy assumption of the original theory and how they perform when predicting cavity occupancies and hydrate equilibrium pressures.     

Growth limit of carbon onions – A continuum mechanical study

The growth of carbon onions is simulated using continuum mechanical shell models. With this models it is shown that, if a carbon onion has grown to a critical size, the formation of an additional layer leads to the occurrence of a structural instability. This instability inhibits further growth of carbon onions and, thus, can be a reason for the limited size of such particles. The loss of stability is mainly evoked by van der Waals interactions between misfitting neighboring layers leading to self-equilibrating stress states in the layers due to mutual accommodation. The influence of the curvature induced surface energy and its consequential stress state is investigated and found to be rather negligible. Furthermore, it is shown that the nonlinear character of the van der Waals interactions has to be considered to obtain maximum layer numbers comparable to experimental observations. The proposed model gives insight into mechanisms which are assumed to limit the size of carbon onions and can serve as basis for further investigations, e.g., of the formation of nanodiamonds in the center of carbon onions.     

Colorimetric and Spectrofluorimetric Methods for the Determination of Melatonin in Tablets and Serum

Abstract

Two sensitive and accurate colorimetric and spectrofluonmetric methods, are presented for the determination of melatonin in tablets and serum. The first method utilizes the reactions of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde in hydrochloric acid (van Urk reagent)-ferric chloride in sulphuric acid (Salkowski reagent) mixture. The blue color of the resulting reaction product is measured at 630 nm. The second method is based on the reaction of melatonin with o-phthalaldehyde in acid medium which yields highly fluorescent condensation product that is measured at 465 nm as emission wavelength, using excitation wavelength at 355 nm. No interference was observed from tableting additives, and the applicability of the methods was examined by analysing tablets containing melatonin (single and combined with pyridoxine). Mean percentage recoveries from tablets were found to be 99.9+0.31 for single and 100.5+0.15 for combined tablets using colorimetric method, while by applying spectrofluorimetric method the recoveries were found to be 100.610.41 for single and 100.2+0.39 for combined tablets. Furthermore, the proposed methods were extended to the in-vitro determination of melatonin in serum. The detection limits are 0.27 ug ml^?1 for colorimetric method and 0.00035 ug ml^?1 for spectrofluorimetric method.     

The solubility of bosentan in aqueous-2-propanol mixtures at several temperatures,measurement and data correlation

ABSTRACT

The solubilities of bosentan (BST) in binary aqueous mixtures of 2-propanol at temperatures ranging from 293.15 to 313.15 K were determined using a shake-flask method. The produced data were modelled with the Jouyban-Acree-van’t Hoff model and difference between the predicted data and experimental ones were illustrated by percent average relative deviations (%ARD). Moreover, the thermodynamic functions of dissolution for BST in the aqueous 2-propanol solutions were computed which suggest that the dissolution process is endothermic and not spontaneous.     

Self‐Assembled Binary Mixtures of Partially Etched Nanowires

Arrays of anisotropic particles are sought after for applications in optics, electronics, and energy. Structures assembled from multiple micro‐ or nanoparticles could incorporate the distinct properties of each component to achieve functions not possible from single‐population assemblies. In mixed‐particle populations, the assembly forces may differ between the particle types, which will in turn influence the final assembled structures. Here, binary particle mixtures are studied and compared to assemblies formed from each of the component particles alone. The particles are partially etched nanowires (PENs, ≈300 nm diameter, and 3–8 μm overall length), which are formed by the silica coating and subsequent etching of striped metal nanowires, such that what remains are silica nanotubes containing segments of metal core (Au, Pt, Rh, or Pt/Au) with controllable location and number, spaced by “empty” regions that fill with water. Binary mixtures of PENs with different core metals and segment patterns are examined here to explore how the different core segment material, length, position, and number affects overall self‐assembly behavior.
