The photochemical reaction and molecular reorientation of a novel photosensitive polyester, poly[oxy(4-n-butyl-3,5-benzoate)oxy-1,4-phenylenediacryloyl] (PPDA-C4BZ), which contains n-butyl side groups and 1,4-phenylenediacryloyl units (PDA chromophores) in the main chain, are reported in detail. We applied two-dimensional (2D) correlation analysis for the infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) abso...

The purpose of this investigation is to clarify the dynamical process of reorientation of a polyethylene chains under high magnetic fields. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at constant temperature and pressure are carried out to study the reorientation of two polyethylene chains with different configurations. We utilized static homogeneous external magnetic fields of 25 T into the velocity V...

Molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to study the reorientation of single wall carbon nanotubes in a polyethylene matrix under the influence of a 25 T magnetic field. The simulations are based on a variant of velocity Verlet algorithm, which relaxes the Larmor time-step restriction while preserving second-order accuracy. Simulations reveal that the unfolding and reorganization of the ...

We provide a critical account of the dynamics of laser induced refractive index changing mechanisms in nematic liquid crystals which may be useful for all-optical switching and modulation applications in the visible as well as the Terahertz and long-wavelength regime. In particular, the magnitude and response times of optical Kerr effects associated with director axis reorientation, thermal and...

Many of the difficulties presented by large, aggregation-prone, and membrane proteins to modern solution NMR spectroscopy can be alleviated by actively seeking to increase the effective rate of molecular reorientation. An emerging approach involves encapsulating the protein of interest within the protective shell of a reverse micelle and dissolving the resulting particle in a low viscosity flui...

The hyper-Rayleigh scattering ~HRS! spectrum of liquid D2O was measured at 90° scattering angle with linearly polarized light ~VV, HV, VH, and HH polarization geometries!. The VV and HV spectral profiles are similar, but the HV and VH spectral profiles are very different. This can be accounted for by scattering from nonlocal modes of molecular reorientation. The local mode and the transverse no...
