In smectic liquid crystals (SmLCs) with no nematic phase in the phase sequence, such as antiferroelectric SmLCs and SmLCs with V-shaped electrooptical switching, it is hard to obtain LC cells with a uniform molecular alignment structure. The direct transition from the isotropic phase to the Sm phase during cooling giv…

The phenomenon of plasmon resonance in ellipsoidal nanoparticles with shells is considered. Based on the geometrical sizes of a nanoparticle and its components, the theory is developed which allows the calculation of absorption spectra. Using the Maxwell — Garnett theory, a collective plasmon resonance is considered,…

Using tight-binding as well as classical molecular dynamics we simulate the formation of single-wall carbon nanotube T-, Y- and X-junctions via the fusing of two nanotubes. We propose energetically efficient pathways for this process in which all atoms maintain their sp 2 arrangements throughout. Recent experimental a…

In this paper, we present time-dependent studies on the complexation of cysteine-capped gold nanoparticles with octadecylamine (ODA) Langmuir monolayers. The cysteine molecules bound to the colloidal gold surface via thiolate linkages impart a net negative charge to the particles due to deprotonated carboxylic acid gr…

Using a first-principles pseudopotential method we have studied the interaction processes involved in the adsorption of ammonia on the germanium surfaces. We have found that ammonia adsorbs molecularly on the germanium surface and, in contrast to the interaction of the same species with the silicon surface, no dissoci…

We report total-energy electronic structure calculations that provide the energetics of encapsulation of C 70 fullerenes in carbon nanotubes. The encapsulation processes for C 70 in tubes thicker than (17,0) are all exothermic. We find that the lying arrangement is energetically favourable for the thin nanotubes, wher…
