The guanine-cytosine (GC) radical anion and its interaction with a single water molecule is studied using ab initio and density functional methods. Z-averaged second-order perturbation theory (ZAPT2) was applied to GC radical anion for the first time. Predicted spin densities show that the radical character is localiz…

We investigate numerically the interaction of an oscillating point dipole with a periodic array of optical Yagi-Uda nanoantennas in the weak coupling limit. A very strong near-field enhancement of the dipole emission by the resonant plasmon mode in the feed element is predicted in this structure. It is shown that the…

Abstract Crosslinked core/shell PBA/PMMA‐PGMA particles are prepared by emulsion polymerization and dispersed into a UV‐curable cycloaliphatic epoxy resin in the range of 5–15 wt%. The presence of the particles does not significantly affect the UV curing process: a slight decrease of final epoxy group conversion is at…
