Time-dependent Green's functions for an anisotropic bimaterial with viscous interface

By virtue of the Stroh formalism, we derive the exact closed-form solutions for the time-dependent two-dimensional Green's functions due to a line force and line dislocation in an anisotropic bimaterial with a viscous interface. We first reduce the boundary value problem to two coupled homogeneous first-order partial differential equations, which can be solved using a decoupling technique. The full-field expressions of the time-dependent displacements and stresses due to the line force and line dislocation interacting with the viscous interface are obtained.     

Quantum chemical studies on the structures, properties and decomposition of the azido derivatives of trinitrobenzenes

The geometries,heats of formation and electronic structures of 15 azido-derivatives of 1,2,3-TNB (Ⅰ),1,2,4-TNB (Ⅱ) and 1,3,5-TNB (Ⅲ) have been studied using quantum chemical AMI method at HF level.The effect of azido substitution on the structures and properties of TNBs has been discussed and the relative stability of the title compounds has been established.The processes of the decomposition of the title compounds by breaking C-NO2,C-N3 and CN-N2 bonds are investigated at UHF-AM1 level.It is shown that the decomposition of the title compounds may be initiated by the cleavage of both C-NO2 and N-N2 bonds.     

Interaction of –CClx (x=1–3) with Ru2 and RuSn dimers: a density functional study

Density functional calculation were performed on the Ru₂ and RuSn metal dimers and the species formed from their interaction with –CCl_x (x=1–3) fragments. The importance of these fragments in the hydrodechlorination of carbon tetrachloride has been motivated this study aiming to contribute to understand the effect of the tin in the performance of the noble metals based catalysts. We have observed that the carbon tetrachloride does not form a precursor with the metal dimers. The CCl₄ readily dissociates forming adsorbed chlorine and –CCl₃ complexes. The chlorine atoms prefer to adsorb on the bridge sites and the RuSn–Cl binding energy is about 5 kcal mol⁻¹ larger than the Ru₂–Cl binding energy. The Ru₂–CCl_x (x=1–3) binding energies are larger than the respective RuSn–CCl_x (x=1–3) binding energies. However, the reaction energy of the dechlorination of CCl₄ leading to adsorbed –CCl_x (x=1–3) and chlorine is thermodynamically more favorable for RuSn than the Ru₂. The differences between Ru₂ and RuSn systems have been discussed based on the different interaction mechanism due to the presence of the tin center and its affinity for the chlorine atoms.

Mott transition for picosecond all-optical nor gate in CdSe

Using picosecond time resolved spectroscopy, we study the extinction kinetics of the optical transmission of CdSe platelets induced by strong optical pumping. We investigate particularly the all-optical gate capabilities (resulting from the bandgap shrinkage due to the Mott transition) for laser beams the wavelength of which ranges from 676 to 678 nm. The electron-hole plasma density necessary to enable the optical switching is determined (ϱ ∼ 2 × 10¹⁷cm⁻³ at 20K). The switch-off time (i.e. the transparency recovery time) is also studied at different wavelengths by picosecond spectroscopy.     

A simple technique in Markovian control with applications to resource allocation in communication networks

The purpose of this note is to demonstrate that for semi-Markov decision problems with exponentially distributed transition times considerable computational improvements on the value-iteration algorithm can be obtained. This can be achieved by the simple trick of introducing fictitious decision epochs so that sparse transition matrices are created. Applications to optimal sharing of resources in communication networks are given.
