Metropolis Monte Carlo classical simulation and quantum mechanical calculations are performed to obtain the dipole polarizability of liquid benzene. Super-molecular configurations are sampled from NVT Monte Carlo simulation of liquid benzene at room temperature and are used for subsequent quantum mechanical calculations. The auto-correlation function of the energy is used to analyze the statist...

Intermolecular correlations in liquid acetonitrile (CH3CN) have been revisited by calculating orientational correlation functions. In the present approach, hydrogen atoms are included, so that a concept applicable for molecules of (nearly) tetrahedral shape can be exploited. In this way molecular arrangements are elucidated not only for closest neighbours but also extending well beyond the firs...

Molecular dynamics simulation was used to study structural and dynamical properties of InSb. The effective potential takes into account two and three-body interactions, considering atomic-size effects and charge-charge, charge-dipole, and dipole-dipole interactions between 1000 particles, 500 In and 500 Sb, initially within a cubic box of side L=32.397 Å. The effect of hydrostatic pressure and ...

The interaction between nucleotides and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a subjectof many investigations for treating diseases but there are many questions in this field thatremain unanswered. Because of experimental methods involve assumptions andinterpretation besides limitations, there are many problems that the best study for them isusing theoretical study. Consequently, t...

Bose-Einstein condensation of dilute trapped atomic gases @1,2# essentially depends on the interparticle interactions. In most experiments so far the dominated interactions have been short-range van der Waals forces which are characterized by the s-wave scattering length a. Spatially homogeneous condensates with positive scattering length ~repulsive interaction! are stable while condensates wit...

Molecular modeling techniques were used to establish relationships between the molecular properties of 45 substituted phenylureas and their octanol/water partition coefficient (log P) and soil sorption normalized to organic carbon (Koc). Log P and Koc values were obtained from the literature. The molecular properties were calculated using MOPAC-MNDO molecular orbital methods. The OSAR models ba...

Adsorbed on a solid surface, a molecule can migrate and carry an electric dipole moment. A nonuniform electric field can direct the motion of the molecule. A collection of the same molecules may aggregate into a monolayer island on the solid surface. Place such molecules on a dielectric substrate surface, beneath which an array of electrodes is buried. By varying the voltages of the electrodes ...

We provide a theory of the electronic transport properties of a graphene layer functionalized with molecular switches. Our considerations are motivated by the spiropyran-merocyanine system which is non-polar in its ring-closed spiropyran form and zwitterionic in its ring-open merocyanine form. The reversible switching between these two isomers affects the carriers in graphene through the associ...

Antiferro- and ferro-electric ordering has been discovered in orthogonal smectic phases composed of nonchiral bent-core molecules. These systems are the only proper fluid ferroelectrics confirmed experimentally so far. We consider a molecular theory of proper ferroelectric ordering in isotropic, nematic and smectic A phases and conclude that the delicate balance between the tendencies for local...

Any object with a net positive charge on one end and a net negative charge on the other end possesses an electric dipole moment. In ordinary classical electromagnetism this dipole moment is a vector quantity that can point in any direction, and is subject to electrical forces that are fairly straightforward to formulate mathematically. However, for a quantum mechanical object like an atom or mo...
