In this paper we extend the recent theory of shear localization in two-dimensional (2D) amorphous solids to three dimensions. In two dimensions the fundamental instability of shear localization is related to the appearance of a line of displacement quadrupoles that makes an angle of 45^{∘} with the principal stress ax…

We present a study analyzing the selectivity of host–guest interactions in a series of functionalized Al-MIL-53-X metal–organic frameworks with X = H, NH 2, and NHCHO using acetone, ethanol, and water as probe molecules. While the amino group introduces additional hydrogen bond donor centers the NHCHO anchors function…

The single-chain mechanics of two similar thermosensitive polymers, poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide) (PDEAM) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), have been studied by atomic force microscopy-based single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS). In a typical nonpolar organic solvent, octane, both of the polymers show the sa…

CuI-catalyzed oxidative reaction of amidines with C60 using air as the oxidant has been exploited for the easy preparation of fulleroimidazole derivatives. Furthermore, this kind of CuI-catalyzed [3 + 2] reaction has also been successfully applied in the synthesis of fullerooxazole derivatives starting from amides for…

Furan affairs: Electronic structure calculations of the homogeneous Brønsted acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of 2,5-dimethylfuran show that proton transfer to the β-position is rate-limiting and provides support that the hydrolysis follows general acid catalysis. By means of projected Fukui indices, we show this to be the c…

We present a partial free energy profile for the homogeneous nucleation of ice using an all-atom model of water at low supercooling, at which ice growth dynamics are reasonably accessible to simulation. We demonstrate that the free energy profile is well described by classical nucleation theory, and that the nucleatio…

Abstract BACKGROUND In spite of its efficiency and versatility, examples of the use of N‐hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as catalyst for oxidations at industrial scale are scant, mainly due to the lack of methodologies for the recovery and reuse of the catalyst. This paper reports a step by step investigation of the aerobic…

Ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) have the potential to nucleate cavitation and promote both beneficial and deleterious bioeffects in vivo. Previous studies have elucidated the pulse-duration-dependent pressure amplitude threshold for rapid loss of echogenicity due to UCA fragmentation. Previous studies have demonstra…

We study the dynamics of a tagged particle in an environment of point Brownian particles with hard-core interactions in an infinite one-dimensional channel (a single-file model). In particular, we examine the influence of initial conditions on the dynamics of the tagged particle. We compare two initial conditions: equ…

The driving force for self-assembly is the associated gain in free energy with decisive contributions from both enthalpy and entropy differences between final and initial state. For monolayer self-assembly at the liquid-solid interface, solute molecules are initially dissolved in the liquid phase and then become incor…
