While it is well known that molecules can be strongly polarized when transferred from the gas phase to a polar liquid, quantifying polarization effects explicitly using either experiment or theory has remained elusive. In this paper, we present new QM/MM method involving self-consistent calculation of liquid state dipole moments, able yield realistic, accurate estimates multipole moments in sta...

Layer by Layer (LbL) technique is a unique way for fabricating ultrathin nanostructured electrostatic self assembled films of water soluble material with controlled layer structure and lattice parameters etc. LbL films have many technical applications in the field of molecular electronics and biotechnology. This paper reports the early development, technology and application of LbL films along ...

We analyze the nonrelativistic quantum scattering problem of a charged particle by an Abelian magnetic monopole in the background of a global monopole. In addition to the magnetic and geometric effects, we consider the influence of the electrostatic self-interaction on the charged particle. Moreover, for the specific case where the electrostatic self-interaction becomes attractive, charged part...

We address the effects of chain connectivity on electrostaticfluctuations in polyelectrolyte solutions using a field-theoretic, renormalizedGaussian fluctuation (RGF) theory. As in simple electrolyte solutions [Z.-G. Wang,Phys. Rev. E 81, 021501 (2010)], the RGF provides a unified theory forelectrostatic fluctuations, accounting for both dielectric and charge correlationeffects in terms of the ...

Pulsed energization of electrostatic precipitator (ESP) may represent one of the most promising solutions to comply with strict environmental regulation in case of high resistivity dust. Performs a parametric cost comparison between conventional and pulsed ESP with reference to four main industrial areas: electric power generation, cement manufacturing, iron and steel production, glass industry...
