The growth modulation of metal nanocrystals (NCs) by Ostwald ripening (OR) involves control of the relocation of matter by diffusional mass transfer from the dissolution of small nanocrystals (SNCs) towards large nanocrystals whose surface energy is lower. ...
In 1977, D. G. Kendall [J. Appl. Probab. 28 (1991), no. 1, 225--230; MR1090460 (92f:60135)] considered diffusions of shape induced by independent Brownian motions in Euclidean space. In this paper, we consider a different class of diffusions of shape, indu ...
Thin adhesive films have become increasingly important in applications involving packaging, coating or for advertising. Once a film is adhered to a substrate, flaps can be detached by tearing and peeling, but they narrow and collapse in pointy shapes. Simi ...
The reproducible synthesis of the unusual ionic aluminum compd. [Tl3F2Al(OR)3]+[Al(OR)4]- (1) is reported. In the reaction of Li[Al(OR)4] [R = C(H)(CF3)2] with TlF the initially desired Tl[Al(OR)4] only formed with an exact 1:1 stoichiometry, while an exce ...
The base hydrolysis reaction of Co(NH3)5Cl2+ was investigated using density functional theory and molecular orbital methods. Geometries and energies of conjugate bases, intermediates, transition states, and minimum energy crossing points were computed. For ...
We present a formalism based on the method of moment to solve the volume integral equation using tetrahedral (3-D) and triangular (2-D) elements. We introduce a regularization scheme to handle the strong singularity of the Green's tensor. This regularizati ...
