The doping reaction of truncated boron nitride and carbon nanotubes with aluminium atom wastheoretically investigated. The AM1, PM3, and PM6 semiempirical methods have been used toevaluate the thermochemistry of doping reactions of single walled boron nitride nanotubes andcarbon nanotubes. The enthalpy changes, Gibbs free energy changes, and entropy changes of studieddoping reactions were evalu...

Z. Naturforsch. 53 b, 1343-1351 (1998); eingegangen am 21. Juli 1998 Aluminium Neodymium Chloride, Decomposition, Thermochemical Data, Enthalpy, Entropy The thermodynamical data of solid and gaseous aluminium neodymium chloride have been obtained by determination of the decomposition equilibria (of solid) from total pressure mea­ surements and chemical transport reactions (gaseous). The melting...

Using updated and improved atomistic models for the polymorphs of calcium carbonate and their constituent ions in solution, we revisit the question of surface energetics and nanoparticle stability. Using a simple lattice-based Monte Carlo scheme, we generate nanoparticle configurations in vacuum for all three biologically relevant polymorphs of calcium carbonate and establish that the bulk ener...

Using Molecular Dynamics, this paper investigates the thermophysical properties and oxygen transport of (Thx,Pu1-x)O2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) between 300-3500 K. In particular, the superionic transition is investigated and viewed via the thermal dependence of lattice parameter, linear thermal expansion coefficient, enthalpy and specific heat at constant pressure. Oxygen diffusivity and activation enthalpy ...

Current Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) data in the literature have relatively high errors in the measured enthalpies of protein-ligand binding reactions. There is a need for universal validation standards for titration calorimeters. Several inorganic salt co-precipitation and buffer protonation reactions have been suggested as possible enthalpy standards. The performances of several com...

Additives to polymeric materials can lead to appreciable changes in the rates of relaxation and reaction in these mixtures that can profoundly alter material properties and function. We develop a general theoretical framework for quantifying changes in the "high-frequency" relaxation dynamics of mixtures based on classical transition state theory, in conjunction with mathematical statements reg...

During the past year the activities of the Chemical Thermodynamics Data Center and the JANAF Thermochemical Tables project have been combined to obtain an extensive collection of thermodynamic information for many chemical species, including the elements. Currently available are extensive bibliographic collections and data files of heat capacity, enthalpy, vapor pressure, phase transitions, etc...

To investigate the role of Vernier zone residues, which are comprised in the framework regions and underlie the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of antibodies, in the specific, high affinity interactions of antibodies with their targets, we focused on the variable domain fragment of murine anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor antibody 528 (m528Fv). Grafting of the CDRs of m528F...

The authors regret to inform that the thermodynamic data [Formula presented] of pure compound CsI(l) was not reported correctly in Table 3. corresponding enthalpy formation should read:
