Emergent thermophoretic behavior in chemical reaction systems

Paolo De Los Rios, Shiling Liang, Daniel Maria Busiello

Exposing a solution to a temperature gradient can lead to the accumulation of particles on either the cold or warm side. This phenomenon is known as thermophoresis, and its microscopic origin is still debated. Here, we show that thermophoresis can be obser ...

Anti-Jahn-Teller effect induced ultrafast insulator to metal transition in perovskite BaBiO3

Changpeng Lin, Ben Xu

The Jahn-Teller (JT) effect involves the ions M with a degenerate electronic state distorting the corner-sharing MO6 octahedra to lift the degeneracy, inducing strong coupling of electrons to lattice, and mediating the exotic properties in perovskite oxide ...

Mass-Zero constrained dynamics and statistics for the shell model in magnetic field

Sara Bonella

In several domains of physics, including first principle simulations and classical models for polarizable systems, the minimization of an energy function with respect to a set of auxiliary variables must be performed to define the dynamics of physical degr ...

Infinitesimal asphericity changes the universality of the jamming transition

Matthieu Wyart, Carolina Brito Carvalho dos Santos

The jamming transition of non-spherical particles is fundamentally different from the spherical case. Non-spherical particles are hypostatic at their jamming points, while isostaticity is ensured in the case of the jamming of spherical particles. This stru ...

Semi-Rigidity of Through-Tenon Joints under Tension and Shear Loads and Perpendicular-to-Grain Compression

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad, Anh Chi Nguyen

This report presents the results of experimental tests performed on through-tenon joints used in double-layered and double-curved timber plate shells recently developed. Three tests were carried out to determine the semi-rigidity of these wood-wood connect ...

Anomalous Effects of Velocity Rescaling Algorithms: The Flying Ice Cube Effect Revisited

Berend Smit, Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Efrem Daniel Braun

The flying ice cube effect is a molecular dynamics simulation artifact in which the use of velocity rescaling thermostats sometimes causes violation of the equipartition theorem, affecting both structural and dynamic properties. The reason for this artifac ...

Synthesis of nanocrystalline ZnO by the thermal decomposition of [Zn(H2O)(O2C5H7)(2)] in isoamyl alcohol

Thomas Maeder

It was studied how the conditions of heat treatment of a [Zn(H2O)(O2C5H7)(2)] solution in isoamyl alcohol at 120-140A degrees C for 2-60 min affect the precursor decomposition mechanism and the characteristics of the obtained nanocrystalline zinc oxide. In ...

Energetics and thermodynamics of α-iron from first-principles and machine-learning potentials

Daniele Dragoni

Iron is a material of fundamental importance in the industrial and economic processes of our society as it is the major constituent of steels. With advances in computational science, much progress has been made in the understanding of the microscopic mecha ...

Flexible metal-organic framework compounds: In situ studies for selective CO2 capture

Wendy Lee Queen

Results are presented that explore the dynamic structural changes occurring in two highly flexible nanocryst. metal-org. framework (MOF) compds. during the adsorption and desorption of pure gases and binary mixts. The Ni(1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene)[Ni(CN)4 ...

Vertical take-off and landing aerial vehicle

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Adrien Briod, Adam Klaptocz, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski, Ludovic Daler, Arnaud Garnier

A VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aerial flying vehicle comprising an inner frame, a gimbal system and an outer frame, the inner frame comprising a propulsion system and a control system, the propulsion system being able to generate a lift force. The ...
