Energetic Polymers: A Chance for Lightweight Reactive Structure Materials?

Multimillion Atom Reactive Simulations of Nanostructured Energetic Materials

For large-scale atomistic simulations involving chemical reactions to study nanostructured energeticmaterials, we have designed linear-scaling molecular dynamics algorithms: 1) first-principles-based fast reactive force field molecular dynamics, and 2) embedded divide-and-conquer density functional theory on adaptive multigrids for quantum-mechanical molecular dynamics. These algorithms have ac...

Nazhvan Pavilion in Isfahan, Construction Technics and an Experience for Building a Lightweight Structure

The Coastal area of Nazhvan is located at the riverside of Zayandehrūd River in the western part of Isfahan. In the gardens of this area which are mostly orchards, woodlands full of fruitless trees, owners have constructed architectural spaces and pavilions. One of the prominent architectural spaces within this territory is a mill known as “Asyāb-e Nazhvān or Hājjī”. There stands a two-floor pa...

Polymorphism in Energetic Materials

Polymorphism often occurs in energetic materials. Differences in the forms range from conformational changes in the molecule from one system to another, to conformational equivalents packing in different manners. These differences, whether drastic or subtle, can lead to substantial alterations in stability and performance. The authors recently reported on the crystal structures of five polymorp...
