A Computational Study to Find the Vibrational Modes Connected with Specific Molecular Structures of Calculated Compound
The purpose of this research is to provide a deeper understanding of the planar high- symmetry configuration instability. In the ideal case, the distortion corresponds to the movements of nuclei along normal modes that belong to non-totally symmetric irreps of the high symmertry (HS) point group of molecule. The analysis of the structural distortion from the HS nuclear arrangements of the JT ac...
متن کاملSymmetry breaking in self-assembled monolayers on solid surfaces: Anisotropic surface stress
This paper models the self-assembly dynamics of a two-phase monolayer on an elastic substrate. The two phases coarsen to reduce the phase boundary energy and refine to reduce the elastic energy. To minimize the total free energy, the two phases can order into nanoscale patterns. We combine the continuum phase field model of spinodal decomposition and the anisotropic surface stress. The numerica...
متن کاملCurvature-induced symmetry breaking determines elastic surface patterns.
Symmetry-breaking transitions associated with the buckling and folding of curved multilayered surfaces-which are common to a wide range of systems and processes such as embryogenesis, tissue differentiation and structure formation in heterogeneous thin films or on planetary surfaces-have been characterized experimentally. Yet owing to the nonlinearity of the underlying stretching and bending fo...

We consider a dilute solution of infinitely rigid rods near a curved, perfectly repulsive surface and study the contribution of the rod depletion layer to the bending elastic constants of membranes. We find that a spontaneous curvature state can be induced by exposure of both sides of the membrane to a rod solution. A similar result applies for rigid disks with a diameter equal to the rod's len...
متن کاملSymmetry breaking in self-assembled monolayers on solid surfaces. II. Anisotropic substrate elasticity
On a solid surface a monolayer mixture may separate into two phases. The phases can self-assemble into a variety of patterns, with the feature size on the scale of 1–100 nm. This paper studies how the elastic anisotropy of the substrate affects the patterns. The substrate is taken to be of cubic crystal symmetry, although the method developed can be readily extended to treat substrates of any o...
