The basic idea of fast off-lattice Monte Carlo (FOMC) simulations is to use "soft" repulsive potentials that allow particle overlapping in continuum Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. For multichain systems, this gives much faster chain relaxation and better sampling of the configurational space than conventional molecular…

We calculate the effective Coulomb repulsion between electrons/holes U(m) ((v)) and site energy for an isolated bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) molecule in vacuo. U(m) ((v))=4.2+/-0.1 eV for 44 experimental geometries taken from a broad range of conformations, polymorphs, anions, temperatures, and pre…

Abstract We present an approach for the optimization of thin film antireflective coatings for encapsulated planar silicon solar cells in which the variations in the incident spectra and angle of incidence (AOI) over a typical day are fully considered. Both the angular and wavelength dependences of the reflectance from…

The paper presents results of a study on obtaining N-enriched active carbons from four hard coals with different degree of metamorphism. The starting materials were carbonized, activated with KOH, and ammoxidized by a mixture of ammonia and air at the ratio 1:3 at 300 and 350 °C, at each stage of the active carbon pro…

An effective three-photon IR quantum cutting excited by visible light used for solar cells, which has attracted broad attention of academia recently, is reported for the first time (to our knowledge). It is based on a single species of rare-earth Er3+ ion of Er0.3Gd0.7VO4 crystalline. It was found that the approximate…

Magnetization measurements up to high magnetic fields of 56 T applied with a pulsed magnet were carried out for x = 14.0 and 15.6 in Ni 50 Mn 50− x In x alloys. Metamagnetic behaviour from the nonmagnetic martensite phase to the ferromagnetic parent phase was observed even at x = 14.0, where no ferromagnetic phase exi…

We propose a new hybrid piezoelectric composite comprised of armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes and piezoelectric fibers as reinforcements embedded in a conventional polymer matrix. Effective piezoelectric and elastic properties of this composite have been determined by a micromechanical analysis. Values of the e…

Gold nanorods (AuNRs) are of interest for a wide range of applications, ranging from imaging to molecular electronics, and they have been studied extensively for the past decade. An important issue in AuNR applications is the ability to self-assemble the rods in predictable structures on the nanoscale. We here present…

This article describes how an uncertainty analysis may be performed on a scatterometry measurement. A method is outlined for propagating uncertainties through a least-squares regression. The method includes the propagation of the measurement noise as well as estimates of systematic effects in the measurement. Since th…

Multiorbital Hubbard model Hamiltonians for the undoped parent compounds of the Fe-pnictide superconductors are investigated here using mean-field techniques. For a realistic four-orbital model, our results show the existence of an intermediate Hubbard $U$ coupling regime where the mean-field ground state has a $(\ens…

The manipulation of optical waves in the subwavelength scale is limited by diffraction. In the vicinity of a narrow aperture, the amplitude of the electric field is approximately uniform and the transmissivity is extremely low. Here we show that despite these fundamental constraints it may be possible to transport and…
