We propose a density decomposition scheme using a Wang-Govind-Carter- (WGC-) based kinetic energy density functional (KEDF) to accurately and efficiently simulate various covalently bonded molecules and materials within orbital-free (OF) density functional theory (DFT). By using a local, density-dependent scale functi…

Highly porous polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) diblock copolymer membranes are prepared using carbohydrates as additives. Therefore α-cyclodextrine, α-(D)-glucose, and saccharose (cane sugar) are tested for the membrane formation of three different PS-b-P4VP polymers. The addition of the carbohydrat…

We simulate electron transport through graphene nanoribbons of experimentally realizable size (length L up to 2 μ m and width W ≈ 40 nm) in the presence of scattering at rough edges. Our numerical approach is based on a modular recursive Green's function technique that features sub-linear scaling of the computational…

Detection of single walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was performed using single particle-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (spICPMS). Due to the ambiguities inherent in detecting CNTs by carbon analysis, particularly in complex environmental matrices, this study focuses on using trace catalytic metals interca…
