The temperature dependence of thermodynamic quantities, such as heat capacity, entropy and free enthalpy, may be obtained by using well-known equations that relate these quantities to the enthalpy of the molecular system of interest at a range of temperatures. In turn, the enthalpy of a molecular system can be estimated from molecular dynamics simulations of an appropriate model. To demonstrate...

In order to understand the organization of the PSI core antenna and to interpret results obtained from studies of the temperature and wavelength dependence of energy transfer and trapping in the PSI particles, we have constructed a model for PSI in which spectral heterogeneity is considered via a self-consistent approach based on Forster transport. The temperature dependence of the absorption a...

The optical transitions of semiconducting carbon nanotubes have been ascribed to excitons. Here we use two-photon excitation spectroscopy to measure exciton binding energies, as well as band-gap energies, in a range of individual species of semiconducting SWNTs. Exciton binding energies are large and vary inversely with nanotube diameter, as predicted by theory. Band-gap energies are significan...

A recent highlight in the study of high-T(c) superconductors is the observation of band renormalization or self-energy effects on the quasiparticles. This is seen in the form of kinks in the quasiparticle dispersions as measured by photoemission and interpreted as signatures of collective bosonic modes coupling to the electrons. Here we compare for the first time the self-energies in an optimal...

I show that massive lepton-pair production, the Drell-Yan process, should be a good source of independent constraints on the polarized gluon density, free from the experimental and theoretical complications of photon isolation that beset studies of prompt photon production. I provide predictions for the spin-averaged and spin-dependent differential cross sections as a function of transverse mom...

Recent experiments have confirmed the importance of nuclear quantum effects even in large biomolecules at physiological temperature. Here we describe how the path integral formalism can be used to describe rigorously the nuclear quantum effects on equilibrium and kinetic properties of molecules. Specifically, we explain how path integrals can be employed to evaluate the equilibrium (EIE) and ki...

The DIS process on nuclei is considered in the framework of LO BK equation with local impact parameter dependence. The parameters for initial conditions of GBW type found in [4] were used in solution of BK equation. Integrated gluon density function and F2 nucleus structure function for different nuclei are calculated. Obtained results are compared with the different parameterizations of integr...

Selective bond breaking of CO2 in phase-locked ω-2ω two-color intense laser fields (λ = 800 nm and 400 nm, total field intensity I ∼ 1014 W cm-2) has been investigated by coincidence momentum imaging. The CO+ and O+ fragment ions produced by two-body Coulomb explosion, CO22+ → CO+ + O+, exhibit asymmetric distributions along the laser polarization direction, showing that one of the two equivale...

A dependence of the isobaric ratio Y(3H)/Y(3He) on the N/Z ratio of the reconstructed quasiprojectile for the reaction of 28Si beam with 112,124Sn targets at two different projectile energies of 30 and 50 MeV/nucleon is presented. We demonstrate a linear dependence of the observable ln(Y(3H)/Y(3He)) on the N/Z ratio of the quasiprojectile and show the dependence of the slope on the reconstructe...
