We elaborate on a new 3+1 dimensional Monte Carlo parton cascade solving kinetic Boltzmann processes including for the first time inelastic multiplication processes (gg ↔ ggg) in a unified manner. The back reaction channel is treated fully consistently, exactly obeying detailed balance. The algorithm can handle, in principle, any specified initial conditions for the freed partons, the latter be...

Inelastic electron tunneling is used to explore the dynamics of ice nanoclusters adsorbed on Ag(111). The diffusion of entire nanoclusters or internal hydrogen bond rearrangement can be selectively controlled by injecting electrons either directly into the clusters themselves or indirectly ("indirect inelastic electron tunneling") into the substrate at distances of up to 20 nm from them; a reac...

Samples of Naarmann polyacetylene, denoted as N-(CH)x, (unstretched) and polyacetylene doped with Pd have been investigated, being characterized by: (i) conductivity using the four-point method, (ii) bulk concentration of Pd using the atomic absorption method, (iii) bulk density using helium pycnometry, (iv) surface composition by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and (v) electron transport para...

A potential energy surface that describes the title reaction has been constructed by interpolation of ab initio data. Classical trajectory studies on this surface show that the total reaction rate is close to that predicted by a Langevin model, although the mechanism is more complicated than simple ion-molecule capture. Only the HCO(+) + H product is observed classically. An estimate of the mag...

As an ideal anode material, silicon has the highest lithium-ion capacity in theory, but the broader application is limited by the huge volumetric strain caused by lithium insertion and extraction. To better understand the physical process and to resolve the related reliability issue, enormous efforts have been made. Recent experiments observed sharp reaction fronts in both crystalline and amorp...

The application of neutron scattering techniques (inelastic scattering, quasi-elastic and diffraction) to explore concepts connected with the methanol-to-hydrocarbon reaction over zeolite ZSM-5 are considered.

torsion of many symmetric structures, which were designed based on the seismic codes, is due to their asymmetricity induced during inelastic behavior. although the structure was designed symmetrically assuming elastic based criteria, different factors such as material inconsistency in structure, construction details discrepancy and construction errors may result in asymmetric behavior in inelas...
