Spiers Memorial Lecture. Molecular mechanics and molecular electronics.
We describe our research into building integrated molecular electronics circuitry for a diverse set of functions, and with a focus on the fundamental scientific issues that surround this project. In particular, we discuss experiments aimed at understanding the function of bistable rotaxane molecular electronic switches by correlating the switching kinetics and ground state thermodynamic propert...
متن کاملSpiers Memorial Lecture Quantum and semiclassical theory of chemical reaction rates
Transition state theory (TST) has provided the qualitative picture of chemical reaction rates for over sixty years. Recent theoretical developments, however, have made it possible to calculate rate constants fully quantum mechanically and efficiently, at least for small molecular systems ; vestiges of TST can be seen both in the resulting Ñux correlation functions and in the algorithmic structu...
متن کاملSpiers Memorial Lecture. Recent experimental advances in studies of liquid/liquid interfaces.
Liquid/liquid interfaces play a key role in many important processes. Studying the molecular structure and interactions that occur at these interfaces can aid in our understanding of more complicated processes such as molecular transport across cell membranes. A variety of techniques have been applied to this pursuit. Here we present selected examples of exciting recent studies using different ...
متن کاملThe Role of Pellet Thermal Stability in Reactor Design for Heterogeneously Catalysed Chemical Reactions
For exothermic fluid-phase reactions, a reactor which is cooled at the wall can exhibit multiplicity or parametric sensitivity_ Moreover, for heterogeneously catalyaed exothermic fluid-phase reactions, each of the catalytically active pellets in the reactor can exhibit multiplicity. Both forms of multiplicity can lead to thermal instability and as such have to he taken into account in reactor d...
متن کاملThe Stribeck memorial lecture
Stribeck’s publications ‘Kugellager für beliebige Belastungen’ and ‘Die wesentlichen Eigenschaften der Gleitund Rollenlager’ were remarkable for their time. Many of the findings were revolutionary and are still considered quite modern. The method used by Stribeck to calculate load distribution between the balls within a ball bearing is still used today, otherwise, a full finite element analysis...
