A Classical and Quantum Trajectory Description of Nonadiabatic Dynamics within Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory

Characterizing and predicting the nuclear dynamics of electronically excited molecules is of paramount importance to the understanding of photochemical and photophysical processes in molecules and to the development of new technologies in domains like sola ...

Mixed Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical (QM/MM) simulations of Adiabatic and Nonadiabatic Ultrafast Phenomena

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Basile Curchod, Thomas James Penfold, Pablo Campomanes Ramos, Marilisa Neri, Stefano Vanni, Andrey Laktionov

A thorough theoretical description of ultrafast phenomena that occur in complex systems constitutes a formidable challenge. It not only necessitates the use of quantum mechanical methods that can describe ground and possibly even electronically excited sta ...

Cellular uptake and subcellular distribution of ruthenium-based metallodrugs under clinical investigation versus cisplatin

Paul Joseph Dyson, Olivier Pierre Zava, Michael Groessl

The cellular uptake and subcellular distribution including adduct formation with genomic DNA and uptake into mitochondria of two ruthenium(III)-based drugs in clinical trials, KP1019 and NAMI-A, and cisplatin, was investigated in cisplatin sensitive and re ...

Mixed quantum-classical dynamics with time-dependent external fields: A time-dependent density-functional-theory approach

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Basile Curchod

A mixed quantum-classical method aimed at the study of nonadiabatic dynamics in the presence of external electromagnetic fields is developed within the framework of time-dependent density functional theory. To this end, we use a trajectory-based descriptio ...

Essential role of the Wnt pathway effector Tcf-1 for the establishment of functional CD8 T cell memory

Immune protection from intracellular pathogens depends on the generation of terminally differentiated effector and of multipotent memory precursor CD8 T cells, which rapidly regenerate effector and memory cells during recurrent infection. The identificatio ...

Analysis of nano-sized irradiation-induced defects in Fe-base materials by means of small angle neutron scattering and molecular dynamics simulations

Gang Yu

Thermonuclear fusion of light atoms is considered since decades as an unlimited, safe and reliable source of energy that could eventually replace classical sources based on fossile fuel or nuclear fuel. Fusion reactor technology and materials studies are i ...

Cooperating pre-T-cell receptor and TCF-1-dependent signals ensure thymocyte survival

Intrathymic T-cell maturation critically depends on the selective expansion of thymocytes expressing a functionally rearranged T-cell receptor (TCR) beta chain. In addition, TCR-independent signals also contribute to normal T-cell development. It is unclea ...

A medium size NEMP radiation system used in a shielded room

Michel Ianoz, Pierre Zweiacker

A bounded wave transmission line ENP simulator which achieves a very good confinement of the field inside its volume is described. Results of field mapping in free space and inside a shielded room are presented. These measurements have shown that the field ...
