Bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) are complex systems with properties that far exceed those of the individual constituents. In particular, association a noble metal and first-row transition attracting increasing interest for applications in catalysis, electrocatalysis, magnetism, among others. Such objects display rich structural chemistry thanks to their ability form intermetallic phases, random ...

in this article, in order to demonstrate the pragmatic elements of rawls’s viewpoint, the developmental path of his a theory of justice shall first be investigated. this development has two phases: in the first phase, justice has an ethical-philosophical basis. in a theory of justice, this phase is specifically shown under the title of theory of justice. in the second phase, justice has no phil...

We propose large-core correlation-consistent pseudopotential basis sets for the heavy p-block elements Ga–Kr and In–Xe. The basis sets are of cc-pVTZ and cc-pVQZ quality, and have been optimized for use with the large-core (valence-electrons only) Stuttgart-Dresden-Bonn relativistic pseudopotentials. Validation calculations on a variety of third-row and fourth-row diatomics suggest them to be c...

In this note I give a proof of the existence of a Smith normal form for matrices with integer entries. The existence of a good basis for a lattice with a finite index sublattice is a consequence of the Smith normal form. I conclude with an easy application to toric varieties. Theorem 1. Let A be a matrix with integer entries. Then there exist integer-values invertible matrices C and B such that...
