Density functional (DFT) calculations, high-temperature electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results suggest that thermal homolysis of C59HN involves a remarkably stable intermediate C59N-C59HN* structure characterised by charge redistribution from a C59N* radical to a bonded C59HN.

Low-temperature single-crystal neutron and X-ray diffraction data were collected for bullvalene (Figure 1). X —N Fourier and multipole static deformation electron density maps were calculated and compared. Atomic mean-square-displacement parameters were analysed in the framework of the rigid-body motion model and the residual amplitudes (UOBS — t/TLS) were graphically interpreted. The prelimina...

We study the Euclidean two-point correlation function Gq(x) of the topological charge density in QCD. A general statement based on reflection positivity tells us that Gq(x) < 0 for x 6= 0. On the other hand the topological susceptibility χq = ∫ dxGq(x) is a positive quantity. This indicates that Gq(x) developes a positive contact term at x = 0, that contributes to the determination of the physi...

“Malaria” is a life-threatening blood disease in tropical regions that spreads by the bite of the Anopheles mosquito. Antimalarial medications are designed to cure or prevent this infection, and prosperous achievements in this area mostly depend on the knowing the drug-receptor interactions and active sites of medicine. This improvement can be achieved through understanding the electronic struc...

Ion conducting gel polymer electrolytes based on poly acrylonitrle (PAN) complexed with different weight percent ratios of Sodium Fluoride (NaF) salt were prepared by using solution cast technique. Structural characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscope technique. From the X-rd results increase in amorphous phase with...

Today, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are the most common rechargeable batteries used in electronic devices. SnO2 with theoretical specific capacity of 782 mAh/g is among the best anode materials for LIBs. In this report, Three-dimensional SnO2 nanowires (NWs) on carbon nanotube (CNT) thin film (SnO2 / CNT) is fabricated using a combination of vacuum filtration and thermal evaporation techniques. The ...

Abstract A physics-based analytical model for GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) with non-recessed- and recessed-gate structure is presented. Based on this model, the two-dimensional electron gas density (2DEG) thereby on-state resistance breakdown voltage can be controlled by varying barrier layer thickness Al mole fraction in non-recessed depletion-mode HEMTs. The indicates that 2...

Dust-particles charging in a low-pressure glow discharge was investigated theoretically. The dust-particle charge was found on the basis of a developed self-consistent model taking into account the nonequilibrium character of electron distribution function and the formation of an ionic coat composed of bound or trapped ions around the dust particle. The dust-particle charge, the radial distribu...

The magnetic moment of an electron is (semiclassically) modeled by a loop of current threaded by a flux quantum +o=?ry The integral of the charge density involved in the current is taken to equal the electronic charge. It is shown that the assumption that the moment’s flux is quantized to a value Go implies that the size of the @are) electronic charge must be extremely small (< 10 -57 cm) but t...

Perfluoropolyethers ~PFPE! are used extensively to lubricate hard disks for high density information storage. Some PFPE lubricants have been shown to be vulnerable to dissociative electron attachment as well as electron bombardment. Triboelectric charges generated during sliding contact may generate quasi-free electrons capable of degrading the lubricant. We describe measurements of triboelectr...
