Charge density waves (CDWs) have triggered off extensive research in low-dimensional systems. The discovery of CDW offers a new crucial clue to understanding the intrinsic mechanisms electron-phonon coupling and electron correlation. In addition, physical properties material such as magnetism superconductivity can be fine-tuned with accurately effectively controlled phase. At beginning,we brief...

Electrostatic potential as well as the local volume charge density are computed for a macromolecule by solving the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE) using the finite element method (FEM). As a verification, our numerical results for a one dimensional PBE, which corresponds to an infinite-length macromolecule, are compared with the existing analytical solution and good agreement is found. As a ma...

The hydrate/methane gas interface is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. Below the hydrate melting temperature a thin liquid film forms with an associated surface charge density and electrostatic potential. The thickness of the thin liquid film, the charge density, and electrostatic potential at the hydrate/gas interface are established at different subcooling temperatures for the first ...

When the electron density in a crystal or a quasicrystal is reconstructed from its Fourier modes, the global minimum value of the density is sensitively dependent on the relative phases of the modes. The set of phases that maximizes the value of the global minimum corresponds, by positivity of the density, to the density having the minimum total charge that is consistent with the measured Fouri...
