Vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy (VSFS) is increasingly being applied to understanding the molecular properties of the solid/ liquid interface. There are many opportunities in the future for understanding important issues in interfacial science. This review provides insight into recent applications and advances of VSFS to the solid/aqueous interface with particular focus on the behavior o...

With an interest in finding the fragility for a simple, single component, molecular glassformer, we have determined the dielectric relaxation and glass transition behavior for a series of glasses in the CS(2)-S(2)Cl(2) and CS(2)-toluene systems. Crystallization of CS(2) can be completely avoided down to the composition 20 mol% second component, and the fragility proves almost independent of CS(...

In this work, the vibrations of viscoelastic functionally graded Euler–Bernoulli nanostructure beams are investigated using the fractional-order calculus. It is assumed that the functionally graded nanobeam (FGN) is due to a periodic heat flux. FGN can be considered as nonhomogenous composite structures; with continuous structural changes along the thick- ness of the nanobeam usually, it change...

Vibrational heat transport in molecular junctions is a central issue different contemporary research areas such as chemistry, materials science, mechanical engineering, thermoelectrics, and power generation. Our model system consists of chain molecules which are sandwiched between two solids that maintained at temperatures. We employ quantum self-consistent reservoir model, built on generalized...

In this paper, free and forced vibration of simply-supported Single-walled carbon nanotube is investigated under the moving nanoparticle by considering nonlocal cylindrical shell model. To validate the theoretical results, modal analysis of nanotube is conducted using ANSYS commercial software. Excellent agreement is exhibited between the results of two different methods. Furthermore, the dynam...

qct calculations were performed to study the behavior of energized nh2oh formed by association collision of nh2 radical with oh radical. a potential energy surface that describes the behavior of the title reaction has been constructed by interpolation of ab initio data. h2o, hon, hno, nh3, o, h2no, cis or trans-honh, and h products and two vibrationally energized nh2oh and nh3o adducts were obs...

fabrication, characterization and application of micro-/nano-rods/wires are among the hottest topics in materials science and applied physics. micro-/nano-rod-based structures and devices are developed for a wide-ranging use in various fields of micro-/nanoscience (e.g. biology, electronics, medicine, optics, optoelectronics, photonics and sensors). it is well known that the structure and prope...

Vibrational energy harvesters can exhibit complex nonlinear behavior when exposed to external excitations. Depending on the number of stable equilibriums, are defined and analyzed. In this work, we focus bistable harvester with two wells. Though there have been earlier discussions such harvesters, all these works periodic Hence, focusing our analysis both quasiperiodic forced harvesters. Variou...
