Abstract Mg–Al layered double hydroxide intercalated with 2,7-naphthalenedisulfonate ions (2,7-NDS·Mg–Al LDH) selectively absorbs aromatic compounds from aqueous solutions. The amount of material absorbed by 2,7-NDS·Mg–Al LDH depends on the electron-donating or electron-withdrawing properties of the functional groups…

The performance of a parallel implementation of the phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) is tested. Two three-phonon scattering models, the full-scattering model and the anisotropic relaxation-time model, are considered. The finite-volume method is used to solve the BTE numerically. Two strategies are explored: s…

Adsorption of polymers to surfaces is crucial for understanding many fundamental processes in nature. Recent experimental studies indicate that the adsorption dynamics is dominated by non-equilibrium effects. We investigate the adsorption of a single polymer of length $N$ to a planar solid surface in the absence of hy…

The complete isotope effect and quantum paraelectricity in hydrogen-bonded crystals of the ${\text{K}}_{3}\text{H}{({\text{SO}}_{4})}_{2}$ group are usually attributed to the proton tunneling and geometric isotope effect. However, a mechanism of the quantum effects is not unambiguously determined because neutron-scatt…

In this article we derive the effective pairwise interactions in a Langevin-type united atoms model of water. The interactions are determined from the trajectories of a detailed molecular dynamics simulation of simple point charge water. A standard method is used for estimating the conservative interaction, whereas a…
