A new series of regioregular poly(terthiophenes), bearing bis(thioether) side groups, has been prepared by electrochemical oxidation. Cyclic voltammetry of the parent trimers reveals an increase in electron donating ability in cyclic thioether derivatives. For example, one compound containing a central ethylenedithiot…

Using a simple mean-field density functional approach we investigate the adsorption of a binary fluid mixture of repulsive Gaussian core particles at a repulsive planar wall. For certain choices of wall-fluid potential we find a first-order wetting transition, and the accompanying pre-wetting line, whereby the fluid p…

We study the effects of pressure on the existence of floppy modes in silica glass. We find that small values of pressure do not alter the ability of silica glass to sustain floppy modes, as long as they are not accompanied by changes in the topology of the glass, and thus do not change the balance between the number o…

The air-synthesized La 1- x Ba x MnO 3 system was revisited for 0.4⩽ x ⩽0.9. We show that this system exhibits an insulator-metal like transition, T IM (175-230 K), far below the Curie temperature ( T C ≈335 K). In contrast to previous studies, we demonstrate that this system is multiphase, i.e. involving a hexagonal…

An efficient computational scheme based on the first-principles pseudopotential method is proposed for the electron emission from nanostructures under an applied electric field. The emission rate of the electron through the potential barrier is calculated by integrating the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation for th…
