Novel local free energy minimum on the Cu(001) surface.
High-resolution LEED (low-energy electron diffraction) data of Cu(001) reveal an uniaxial in-plane lattice reconstruction by 1%. One-dimensional nanogrooves induced by ion bombardment involve the creation of steps that enable this reconstruction. This is the first verification of van der Merwe's prediction of step facilitated reconstruction. We confirm the predicted dependence on step orientati...
متن کاملTracing the minimum-energy path on the free-energy surface.
The free-energy profile of a reaction can be estimated in a molecular-dynamics approach by imposing a mechanical constraint along a reaction coordinate (RC). Many recent studies have shown that the temperature can greatly influence the path followed by the reactants. Here, we propose a practical way to construct the minimum-energy path directly on the free-energy surface at a given temperature....
متن کاملNovel Poly (glycerol-adipate) Polymers Used for Nanoparticle Making: A Study of Surface Free Energy
Nanoparticles made of biodegradable polymers has become the best approach for nanoparticle making due to their compatibility with the human body. New glycerol adipate polymers with hydroxyl group substituted with different percent of acyl group, sited as figures within the abbreviated name in the text, and triptophan were synthesized and proposed to be used in the preparction of dexamethason ph...

متن کاملOn the Minimum Free Energy for the Ionosphere
Within the linear theory of the electromagnetism for the ionosphere we give a general closed expression for the minimum free energy in terms of Fourier-transformed quantities, when the integrated history of the electric field is chosen to characterize the state of the material. Another equivalent expression is derived and also used to study the particular case of a discrete spectrum model.
