A variety of molecular dynamics simulations of energetic materials is presented, demonstrating the ability to predict structural and thermodynamic properties of these materials. The studies are also used to explore, at an atomic level, dynamic processes that might influence conversion of the material to products. These studies are are presented to illustrate how information generated through mo...

Abstract: Energetic salts as a unique class of energetic materials have recently been investigated widely, since they possess advantages over their atomically similar nonionic analogues – they tend to exhibit lower vapor pressures, higher densities and better thermal stabilities. Furthermore, these salts are readily improved upon by the appropriate combination of different cations and anions. O...

Three distinct and interacting types of entities: people, software agents and e-markets are considered in this paper. These entities operate within Shaman, a proposed framework for the construction and operation of heterogeneous systems enabling business interactions such as auctions and negotiations between software and human agents across those systems. Shaman is a dss-centric software enviro...

n what follows, we describe the technique and history of energetic neutral atom (enA) imaging of space plasma and present recent results from international collaborations involving enA imaging experiments as well as results from the imAge mission at earth and the cassini mission at Jupiter and saturn. both imAge and cassini carry ApL-built enA cameras. The henA instrument onboard the imAge miss...

Two structurally interesting 3,6-dinitropyrazolo[4,3-c]pyrazole-based energetic cocrystals were prepared and confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. As novel energetic materials, these two unusual neutral acid-base complexes possess high nitrogen content, good detonation properties, and improved impact and friction sensitivities which highlight their potential energetic applications.
