phospholipids are important for the biological lipid and are commonly used in biophysical studies.a quantumcalculation for two phospholipids dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine and dipalmitoylphosphatidic acidwere performed using the abinitio software. geometry optimization structures were obtained at rhf level using3-21g, 6-31g*. these basis sets were used to understanding the effects of envir...

NBO analysis, hybrid density functional theory (B3LYP/6-311+G**) and ab initio molecular orbital (HF/6-311+G**) based methods were used to study the anomeric effects (AE), electrostatic interactions, dipole-dipole interactions and steric repulsion effects on the conformational properties of 2-methoxy- (1), 2-methylthio- (2), 2-methylseleno- (3), 2-fluoro- (4), 2-chloro- (5) and 2-bromocyclohexa...

Nanoparticles often self-assemble into hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) structures although it is predicted to be less stable than face-centered-cubic (fcc) packing in hard-sphere models. In addition to close-packed fcc and hcp superlattices, we observe formation of nonclose-packed simple-hexagonal (sh) superlattices of nearly spherical PbS, PbSe, and gamma-Fe2O3 nanocrystals. This surprisingly ric...

Dipole solitons in a two-dimensional optically induced photonic lattice are theoretically predicted and experimentally demonstrated for the first time to our knowledge. It is shown that such dipole solitons are stable and robust under appropriate conditions. Our experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.

Dipole-dipole interactions lead to frequency shifts that are expected limit the performance of next-generation atomic clocks. In this work, we compute dipolar accounting for intrinsic multilevel structure in standard Ramsey spectroscopy. When interrogating transitions featuring smallest Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, find a simplified two-level treatment becomes inappropriate, even presence large...
