Electron transfer theory is used to explore the size-dependence of electron transfer (ET) between dithiol-bridged quantum dots (QDs) and make predictions that can be tested experimentally. Electronic couplings, electronic densities of states, and reaction-free energies are all found to be size-dependent and to influen…

Rheology is the science of deformation and flow of the matter due to the application of a force. Most rheological tests involve applying a force to a material and measuring its flow or change in shape. Rheological characterization is useful to study the flowability and viscoelastic properties of adhesive materials. Th…
