Fullerene-like CSx: A first-principles study of synthetic growth
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fullerene-Like (FL) sulpho-carbide (CSx) compounds have been addressed by first principles calculations. Geometry optimization and cohesive energy results are presented for the relative stability of precursor species such as C2S, CS2, and C2S2 in isolated form. The energy cost for structural defects, arising from the substitution of C by S is also reported. Similar to previously synthesized FL-CNx and FL-CPx compounds, the pentagon, the double pentagon defects as well as the Stone-Wales defects are confirmed as energetically feasible in CSx compounds.

CF(x): A first-principles study of structural patterns arising during synthetic growth
Structural and bonding patterns arising from the incorporation of fluorine atoms in a graphene-like network relevant to the deposition of carbon fluoride (CFx) films were addressed by first-principles calculations. We find that large N-member (N=8 – 12) rings, defects by sheet branching, and defects associated with bond rotation pertain to CFx. The cohesive energy gains associated with these pa...
متن کاملNanostructured carbon-based thin films: prediction and design
Carbon-based thin films are a vast group of materials of great technological importance. Thanks to the different bonding options for carbon, a large variety of structures (from amorphous to nanostructured) can be achieved in the process of film synthesis. The structural diversity increases even more if carbon is combined with relatively small quantities of atoms of other elements. This results ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to evaluate serum uric acid level and its relationship with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in patients with cardiac syndrome X (CSX). SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 50 patients with CSX (28 females/22 males, 51.0 ± 10.9 years) and 40 controls (27 females/13 males, 53.0 ± 10.2 years) were included in the study. All subjects underwent a noninvasive str...
متن کاملExperiments and Theoretical Modeling of Fullerene-like CNx and CPx Thin Film Structures
This thesis concerns the materials science of carbon-based fullerene-like structures as a basis for the improvement of the applicability of FL-CNx protective thin films. In particular, structural origins of mechanical properties of FL-CNx coatings and water adsorption on their surface were investigated, both of which are critical parameters for their application as, e.g., computer hard disk pro...
متن کاملAutonomic Nervous System and Growth Hormone Secretion and Their Combined Effect on Blood Sugar Level in Rats
Growth hormone in addition to its growth promoting function has many other important biological activities. It exerts its influence on the glucose metabolism through its anti insulin and glucose releasing activities. Growth hormone mobilizes glucose from the carbohydrate and noncarbohydrate sources in the body. Its effect on protein metabolism is anabolic in nature. In the present investigation...
