The velocity field in the vicinity of a laser-generated cavitation bubble in water is investigated by means of particle tracking velocimetry (PTV). Two situations are explored: a bubble collapsing spherically and a bubble collapsing aspherically near a rigid wall. In the first case, the accuracy of the PTV method is a…

The thermal conductance of nanoscale phonon modes is typically calculated using the Boltzmann transport equation. A particular implementation of this method is the acoustic mismatch model (AMM) that compares impedance ratios at a mathematically abrupt transition between two equilibrium regions. The shortcomings of thi…

Joule heating in single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using a quantum mechanical approach is presented in this paper. The modeling is based on the energy transfer between the electrons and both acoustic and optical phonons. In this formulation, only the knowledge of the full energy dispersion relation, phonon dispers…

The role of chemical enhancement in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) remains a contested subject. We study SERS spectra of 4-mercaptopyridine molecules excited far from the molecular resonance, which are collected from individual electromagnetic hot spots at concentrations close to the single-molecule limit. T…

This study examines the use of transition-metal hydride complexes that can be generated by the heterolytic cleavage of H(2) gas to form B-H bonds. Specifically, these studies are focused on providing a reliable and quantitative method for determining when hydride transfer from transition-metal hydrides to three-coordi…
