How do hydrogen bonds break in small alcohol oligomers?
Recent infrared pump-probe studies on alcohol oligomers in CCl(4) solution reveal that, following OH stretch excitation, ultrafast hydrogen bond (H-bond) breaking takes place on a time scale of 1 ps. To shed light on the mechanism of the H-bond breaking, we consider vibrational predissociation of the H-bonded methanol dimer. We construct a four-dimensional model for the dimer including the H-bo...
متن کاملMultishelled Gold Nanowires
The current miniaturization of electronic devices raises many questions about the properties of various materials at nanometre-scales. Recent molecular dynamics computer simulations have shown that small finite nanowires of gold exist as multishelled structures of lasting stability. These classical simulations are based on a well-tested embedded atom potential. Molecular dynamics simulation stu...
متن کاملGold nanowires from silicon nanowire templates
We report a simple method for producing gold nanowires ~AuNWs! by using silicon nanowires ~SiNWs! as templates. Uniform AuNWs were formed in the core of SiNWs, when SiNWs coated with Au were furnace annealed at ;880 °C at 10 Torr. Transmission electron microscopy ~TEM! examination showed the AuNWs had diameters of ;10 nm. High-resolution TEM revealed lattice fringes with an interlayer spacing o...

متن کاملMulti-shell gold nanowires under compression
Deformation properties of multi-wall gold nanowires under compressive loading are studied. Nanowires are simulated using a realistic many-body potential. Simulations start from cylindrical fcc (111) structures at T = 0 K. After annealing cycles axial compression is applied on multi-shell nanowires for a number of radii and lengths at T = 300 K. Several types of deformation are found, such as la...
