Scaling of the Coulomb Energy Due to Quantum Fluctuations in the Charge on a Quantum Dot.

Enhanced droplet spreading due to thermal fluctuations.

The lubrication equation that governs the dynamics of thin liquid films can be augmented to account for stochastic stresses associated with the thermal fluctuations of the fluid. It has been suggested that under certain conditions the spreading rate of a liquid drop on a surface will be increased by these stochastic stresses. Here, an atomistic simulation of a spreading drop is designed to exam...

Effect of intermolecular forces in mechanical behavior of elastomers

Importance of intermolecular forces (interactions of molecular chains) in the characteristic mechanical behavior of elastomers is studied. To focus on the microstructure of sulfur vulcanized rubbers, different network structures of NR/SBR elastomeric blends are investigated. The main difference of these structures comes from the ratio of sulfur to accelerator content in the curing systems. This...
