DFT study of the conductance of molecular wire:The effect of coupling geometry and intermolecular interaction on the transport properties

The density functional theory (DFT) combining with the non-equilibrium Green functions (NEGF) method is applied to the study of the electronic transport properties for a Di-thiol-benzene (DTB) molecule coupled to two Au(111) surfaces. The dependence of the transport properties on the bias, the coupling geometry of the molecule-electrode interface, and the intermolecular interaction are examined in detail. The results show that the existence of the hydrogen atom at the end of the DTB molecule would significantly decrease the transmission coefficients, and then the differential conductance (dI/dV). By changing the position of the DTB molecule located between two electrodes a maximum value of calculated current is observed. It is also found that the intermolecular interaction will strongly influence the transport properties of the system studied.     

Uncertainty of the Thermal Conductivity Measurement Using the Transient Hot Wire Method

This work deals with uncertainty analysis of the thermal conductivity measurement using the transient hot wire method. The characterization is made from a sample of low-density, polyethylene BRALEN SA 200-22. The utilized experimental data are obtained from the test measurements performed on the air at room temperature. The sources of measurement errors are analyzed and the uncertainty of the measured value of the thermal conductivity is evaluated. The analysis shows that in the present case the uncertainty of the thermal conductivity measurement is about ±3.3% for 68% confidence level.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Isolated square planar metal complexes of carbon

Based on the group theory analysis and quantum chemical calculations within the framework of SW X _α method (in relativistic approximation for core electrons and non-relativistic for valence ones), the existence possibility of square planar complexes [M₄C] and [M₄C]^2? (M = Al, Ga, In, Tl, Sc, and Y) in gas phase has been shown. The extraction of Kt₂[M₄C] square planar complexes of carbon in the crystal state is possible too. A high stability of these complexes, in comparison with usual tetrahedral, is achieved due to the formation of five-and four-center bonds (bonds M-M and M-C).     

Molecular Replacement Studies of Cucurmosin from Cucurbita Moschata:Structure Homology with Trichosanthin

1 INTRODUCTION Many plants contain proteins that are capable of inactivating ribosomes and therefore are called ribosome-inactivating proteins or RIPs[1]. RIPs are RNA N-glycosidases that inactivate ribosomes through a site-specific deadenylation of the large ribosomal RNA[2, 3]. RIPs are also capable of inactivating many nonribosomal nucleic acid substrates and can be considered as polynucleotide: adenosine glycosidases[4～6]. There are two types of RIPs: type I, single chain pr…

On some variational approximations in two-dimensional classical lattice systems

A new derivation is presented of some variational approximations for classical lattice systems that belong to the class of cluster-variation methods, among them the well-known Bethe-Peierls and Kramers-Wannier approximations. The limiting behavior of a hierarchical sequence of cluster-variation approximations, the so-calledC hierarchy, is discussed. It is shown that this hierarchy provides a monotonically decreasing sequence of upper boundsf _n on the free energy per lattice sitef and thatf _n f asn . Our results are based on extension theorems for states given on subsets of the lattice, which might be of some independent interest, and on an application of transfer matrix concepts to the variational characterization of translation-invariant equilibrium states.     

A statistical model for the optimization of dsc performance in the evaluation of drugs for preformulation studies

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a thermal analytical tool for preformulation studies. Extrapolated melting temperature (T_P) and heat of fusion (ΔH_f) can be used as parameters for optimizing the DSC performance. Two model pharmaceuticals acetaminophen and nicotinamide are used in this study. Using a factorial design for the experimental model and matrix analysis the results, the effect of sample mass, heating rate and the nitrogen flow rate were evaluated on the ΔH_f values and T_P values. Two levels for each of the procedural variables were used as a balanced experimental design with two sample sizes, two heating rates and two nitrogen flow rates. It was found that the change in the heating rate caused significant changes in the ΔH_f values but not the T_p values for acetaminophen. However, no significant effect was found for the T_p value but ΔH_f value was affected to a certain extent for nicotinamide.
