 | Bedrov, Dmitro; Smith, Grant D. | Comparison of self-assembly in lattice and off-lattice model amphiphile solutions | Lattice Monte Carlo and off-lattice molecular dynamics simulations of h1t4 and h4t1 (head/tail) amphiphile solutions have been performed as a function of surfactant concentration and temperature. The lattice and off-lattice systems exhibit quite different self-assembly behavior at equivalent ther... | Amphiphile solutions; Micellization; Surfactants | 2002 |

 | Lupton, John Mark | Exciton confinement in organic dendrimer quantum wells for opto-electronic applications | Organic dendrimers are a fascinating new class of materials for opto-electronic applications. We present coupled electronic oscillator calculations on novel nanoscale conjugated dendrimers for use in organic light-emitting diodes. Strong confinement of excitations at the center of the dendrimers is ... | Exciton confinement; Opto-electronic applications; Coupled electronic oscillator | 2002 |

 | Armentrout, Peter B. | Guided ion beam studies of the reaction of Nin+ (n=2-16) with D2: nickel cluster-deuteride bond energies | The kinetic-energy dependences of the reactions of Nin+ (n=2-16) with D2 are studied in a guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer. The products observed are NinD+ for all clusters and NinD2 + for n=5-16. Reactions for formation of NinD+ are observed to exhibit thresholds, whereas cross sections for... | Metal clusters; Nickel ions; Bond energies; Deuterides; Collision-induced dissociation; Endothermic reactions | 2002 |

 | Armentrout, Peter B. | Guided ion beam studies of the reactions of Vn+ (n = 2-13) with D2: cluster-deuteride bond energies as a chemical probe of cluster electronic structure | The kinetic energy dependencies of the reactions of Vn+ (n=2 - 13) with D2 are studied in a guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer. Products observed are VnD1 for all clusters and VnD2 + for n=4 - 13. All reactions are observed to exhibit thresholds, except for formation of VnD2 + for n =4,5,7,9,1... | Metal clusters; Vanadium ions; Bond energies; Endothermic reactions; Collision-induced dissociation; Transition metal ions; Deuterides | 2002 |

 | Smith, Grant D.; Borodin, Oleg | Molecular-dynamics simulation study of dielectric relaxation in a 1,4-polybutadiene melt | We have carried out atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of a melt of 1,4-poly(butadiene) from temperatures well above the experimentally observed merging of the primary a process and secondary b process down to temperatures approaching the experimentally observed bifurcation temperature. The re... | Polymer melts; 1,4-polybutadiene; Chain dynamics; Conformational dynamics | 2002 |

 | Fernandez, Diego P. | Near-criticality in dilute binary mixtures: distribution of azulene between coexisting liquid and vapor carbon dioxide | The equilibrium distribution of dilute solutes between vapor and liquid coexisting phases of near-critical solvents exhibits a simple dependence on the solvent's liquid density which extends over a wide temperature range; however, theory predicts this dependence only as an asymptotic limit. In order... | Near-critical solvents; Azulene; Binary mixtures; Dilute solutions | 2002 |

 | Armentrout, Peter B. | Reactions of Pt+ with H2, D2, and HD: effect of lanthanide contraction on reactivity and thermochemistry | A guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer is used to examine the kinetic energy dependence of reactions of the third-row transition metal cation, Pt1, with molecular hydrogen and its isotopologs. A flow tube ion source produces Pt1 ions in its electronic ground state term and primarily in the lowes... | Metal clusters; Platinum ions; Lanthanide contraction; Bond energies; Endothermic reactions; Transition metal ions; Dihydrogen | 2002 |

 | Armentrout, Peter B. | Thermochemistry of small cationic iron-sulfur clusters | The kinetic energy dependences of the reactions of Fen 1 with COS (n=2-6) and CS2 (n=2-5) are studied in a guided-ion beam tandem mass-spectrometer. The main products arise from sulfur transfer and subsequent losses of Fe atoms. In the case of CS2 , this reactant also formally replaces one Fe atom ... | Iron-sulfur clusters; Endothermic reactions; Bond energy | 2002 |
