In this paper, a model-based optimal strategy is presented for the control of particle size in antisolvent crystallization. Size is controlled on demand by dynamic optimization using a population balance based model. Knowledge of the ternary solute–solvent-antisolvent equilibrium and crystallization kinetics is crucia…

Although a great deal is known about the interaction between water and rhyolitic glasses and melts at temperatures above the glass transition, the nature of this interaction at lower temperatures is much more obscure. Comparisons between high- and low-temperature diffusion studies suggest that several factors play imp…

An efficient real space method is derived for the evaluation of the Madelung's potential of ionic crystals. The proposed method is an extension of Evjen's method. It takes advantage of a general analysis of the potential convergence in real space. Indeed, we show that the series convergence is exponential as a functio…

The role of Mg in soda-lime glasses was elucidated by classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The effect of the replacement of CaO for MgO on the structure, transport, and elastic properties of a series of glasses with compositions 15Na 2 O·(10 − x )CaO· x MgO·75SiO 2 ( x = 0, 5, and 10 mol) was studied.

Continued growth of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) on an Fe cluster at 1500 K is demonstrated using quantum chemical molecular dynamics simulations based on the self-consistent-charge density-functional tight-binding (SCC-DFTB) method. In order to deal with charge transfer between carbon and metal particles an…

We for the first time report the synthesis of urchinlike BiPO 4 structure composed of nanorods and its photoluminescence properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show urchinlike BiPO 4 structure composed of nanorods. The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) pattern indicates that the crystal structure of the na…

An important consequence of the discovery of giant magnetoresistance in metallic magnetic multilayers is a broad interest in spin dependent effects in electronic transport through magnetic nanostructures. An example of such systems are tunnel junctions -- single-barrier planar junctions or more complex ones. In this r…

The effects of cation solvation and the volume change (Delta V) of reaction on the equilibrium and the morphology change in the cation-exchange reactions of metal chalcogenide nanocrystals, CdE --> M(x)E(y) (E = S, Se, Te; M = Pd, Pt), were investigated. Since the solvation of cations is an important controllable fact…

A comprehensive first-principles theoretical study of the electronic properties and half-metallic nature of finite zigzag carbon nanotubes is presented. Unlike previous reports, we find that all nanotubes studied present a spin-polarized ground state, where opposite spins are localized at the two zigzag edges in a lon…

Pre-edge features in X-ray absorption spectroscopy contain key information about the lowest excited states and thus on the most interesting physical properties of the system. In transition metal oxides they are particularly structured but extracting physical parameters by comparison with a calculation is not easy due…

We study edge state magnetism in graphene nanostructures using a mean field theory of the Hubbard model. We investigate how the magnetism of the zigzag edges of graphene is affected by the presence of other types of terminating edges and defects. By a detailed study of both regular shapes, such as polygonal nanodots a…

Nanobiointerfaces were prepared based on an electrically conductive polyethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT). Thin (<100 nm), ultrasmooth (roughness ( R(rms)) < 5 nm), and functionalized PEDOT films have been successfully electropolymerized using aqueous microemulsion. The microemulsion polymerization is found to be catalyz…
