A quantum confinement model for nanocrystals developed is extended to study for the optical gap shifts in core/shell quantum dots and nanowires. The chemical bond properties and gap shifts in the InP/ZnS, CdSe/CdS, CdSe/ZnS, and CdTe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots are calculated in detail. The calculated band gaps are in…

Nonequilibrium and equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are employed to study the thermal transport in sintered silicon nanoclusters made of 15 nm diameter nanoparticles arranged on a simple cubic lattice. Both simulation techniques indicate a reduction in the thermal conductivity from ∼120 W/m K (bulk) to 1.5 W…

The linearized Cahn–Hilliard–Cook equation is discretized in the spatial variables by a standard finite-element method. Strong convergence estimates are proved under suitable assumptions on the covariance operator of the Wiener process, which is driving the equation. Backward Euler time stepping is also studied. The a…

Combination anti-HIV therapy is important for AIDS treatment. A bolaamphiphilic prodrug, zidovudine-phosphoryl-deoxycholyl didanosine (ZPDD), was synthesized, combining zidovudine (AZT) and didanosine (ddI) in one molecule. As one lipid derivative of nucleosides, ZPDD showed special solubility with free soluble in chl…

Abstract A simple and easily available organocatalytic system was developed for the polymerization of lactide. In partnership with tertiary amines, phenol derivatives were demonstrated to be excellent single H‐bonding catalysts with high conversion within 24 h. In particular, ortho ‐, meta ‐ and meta,meta′ ‐trifluorom…

The sensitive detection of delayed luminescence (τ > 100 μs) can be achieved with an optomechanical instrument, the gated autosynchronous luminescence detector (GALD). The device effectively combines an excitation chopper, a detection chopper, and a dichroic mirror into a single element. With dimensions of 12 mm (H),…
