"Physical properties and electronic structure of LaNi5 compound before and after hydrogenation: An experimental and theoretical approach"
The present study deals with the experimental and theoretical approaches of LaNi5 hydrogen storage alloy. The structural, morphological and hydrogenation characterization of this sample which is synthesized by the arc melting technique were carried out by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and a homemade Sievert's type apparatus, respectively. The results showed that after several ...
متن کاملStudy on interaction between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as nano carrier for loading and delivery of Methotrexate
The Methotrexate delivery by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and the structural changes of drugcombination upon the carbon nanotubes and bio thermodynamic of the drug have been studied by molecularcomputational methods. Computational molecular methods have been fulfilled by molecular mechanics methods with four force field, and semi empirical with all methods. We investigate different param...
متن کاملCharacterization of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) in Adsorption Gas: Monte Carlo and Langevin Dynamic Simulation
Nanostructures have considerably higher surface areas than their bulk counterparts; thereforesurfaces often play important, sometimes even dominant, roles in the nanostructure properties. Thenanocrystalline and nanotubes have low band gaps and high carrier mobility, thus offeringappealing potential as absorption gas. Interaction between methanol molecules and carbonnanotube is investigated usin...
متن کاملComparison of dosimetry parameters of two commercially available Iodine brachytherapy seeds using Monte Carlo calculations
Background: Iodine brachytherapy sources with low photon energies have been widely used in treating cancerous tumors. Dosimetric parameters of brachytherapy sources should be determined according to AAPM TG-43U1 recommendations before clinical use. Monte Carlo codes are reliable tools in calculation of these parameters for brachytherapy sources. Materials and Methods: Dosimetric param...
متن کاملAb initio surface energetics: Beyond chemical accuracy
Density functional theory (DFT) is the work–horse of modern materials modeling techniques, but scattered evidence indicates it often fails for important surface properties. This thesis investigates how DFT estimates of the surface energy (σ) and molecular adsorption energies of ionic systems are affected by the choice of exchange–correlation (xc) functional. Accurate diffusion Monte–Carlo (DMC)...
