Charge transfer and weak chemisorption of oxygen molecules in nanoporous carbon consisting of a disordered network of nanographene sheets.

The adsorption/desorption processes of oxygen are investigated in nanoporous carbon (activated carbon fiber (ACF)) consisting of a disordered network of nanographene sheets. The heat-induced desorption at 200 °C shows the decomposition of oxygen-including functional groups weakly bonded to nanographene edges. The removal of these oxygen-including negatively charged functional groups brings abou...

MAC it happen : Presented is a study of the synergistic structuredirecting effect of metal–amine complexes (MACs) with different chelating polyamine ligands and imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL) cations. For the first time, a layered selenidostannate with an asymmetric eight-membered ring, an organic-decorated layered selenidostannate, and a 3D selenidostannate with both the MAC and IL cation...

Diffusive-Ballistic Heat Conduction of Carbon Nanotubes and Nanographene Ribbons

Investigations of diffusive-ballistic heat conduction of finite-length single-walled carbon nanotubes and nanographene ribbons at room temperature have been carried out by using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The length dependences of thermal conductivity reveal the variation of the balance between ballistic and diffusive heat conduction. For both systems, the profile indicates ...

Atomistic Electronic Structure Calculations of Unstrained Alloyed Systems Consisting of a Million Atoms

The broadening of the conduction and valence band edges due to compositional disorder in alloyed materials of finite extent is studied using an sp3s∗ tight binding model. Two sources of broadening due to configuration and concentration disorder are identified. The concentrational disorder dominates for systems up to at least one million atoms and depends on problem size through an inverse squar...
