Vibrational energy transport in the presence of intrasite vibrational energy redistribution.
The mechanism of vibrational energy flow is studied in a regime where a diffusion equation is likely to break down, i.e., on length scales of a few chemical bonds and time scales of a few picoseconds. This situation occurs, for example, during photochemical reactions in protein environment. To that end, a toy model is introduced that on the one hand mimics the vibrational normal mode distributi...
متن کاملVibrational energy relaxation in proteins.
An overview of theories related to vibrational energy relaxation (VER) in proteins is presented. VER of a selected mode in cytochrome c is studied by using two theoretical approaches. One approach is the equilibrium simulation approach with quantum correction factors, and the other is the reduced model approach, which describes the protein as an ensemble of normal modes interacting through nonl...
متن کاملSurface Energy and Elastic Medium Effects on Torsional Vibrational Behavior of Embedded Nanorods
In this paper surface energy and elastic medium effects on torsional vibrational behavior of nanorods are studied. The surface elasticity theory is used to consider the surface energy effects and the elastic medium is modeled as torsional springs attached to the nanorod. At the next step, Hamilton’s principle is utilized to derive governing equations and boundary conditions. Then, with the aid ...
متن کاملA broadband vibrational energy harvester
We propose a design for an energy harvester which has the potential to harvest vibrational energy over a broad range of ambient frequencies. The device uses two flexible ceramic piezoelectric elements arranged in a buckled configuration in the absence of vibrations. Experimental data show that this design allows enhanced harvesting of energy relative to a comparable cantilever design, both for ...
متن کاملBreaking atomic bonds through vibrational mode localization
We apply the lattice instability analysis to homogeneously strained single crystal with a flat or defected surface to demonstrate that, in the process of emission of dislocation by an unstable surface, prior to the breaking of atomic bonds, a vibrational mode localizes, foretelling the location and the manner of the impending microscopic catastrophic event.
