Inorganic Systems

Stretchable inorganic-semiconductor electronic systems.

Computational chemistry of molecular inorganic systems.

Theoretical design of coupled organic-inorganic systems.

Metallo-organic molecules with highly conjugated pi-electrons, like phthalocyanines (Pc's), are widely investigated for usage in electronic and electro-optic devices. However, their weak coupling with semiconductors is an obstacle to technological applications. Here we report a first-principle theoretical study of some fundamental features of the Pc-semiconductor interaction. Our results shed l...

Hybrid surfactant systems with inorganic constituents.

Surfactants are molecules of enormous scientific and technological importance, which are widely used as detergents, emulsifiers, and for the preparation of diverse nanostructures. Their fascinating ability to form self-organized structures, such as micelles or liquid crystals, originate from their amphiphilic architecture-a polar head group linked to a hydrophobic chain. While almost all known ...

Effect of Inorganic Polymer Gel Systems on Residual Resistance Factor in Fractured Core Model

Excessive water production through fractures become an important problem in oil exploration of fractured reservoirs. For this purpose, polymer gels were prepared by crosslinking of aqueous solutions of polymer and crosslinker for the purpose of water management in high water cut fractured reservoirs. A copolymer of sulfonated polyacrylamide was used as polymer and chromium triacetate (Cr(OA...
