Confined model systems

Very recently, the electronic density and its derivatives at the origin have been used [102] to obtain very accurate energy values of the spherically confined model systems. For the ground or excited state defined by the angular quantum number l we define... 

Certainly, novel numerical methods [115-120] have to be further developed to treat the confined model systems which include multiple electrons and/or atoms under a wider variety of boundary conditions and symmetry. While confined systems present many computational problems not found in free systems, systems prepared under controlled confinement will continue to have their own virtues.

To illustrate the relationship between the microscopic structure and experimentally accessible information, we compute pseudo-experimental solvation-force curves F h)/R [see Eq. (22)] as they would be determined in SEA experiments from computer-simulation data for T z [see Eqs. (93), (94), (97)]. Numerical values indicated by an asterisk are given in the customary dimensionless (i.e., reduced) units (see [33,75,78] for definitions in various model systems). Results are correlated with the microscopic structure of a thin film confined between plane parallel substrates separated by a distance = h. Here the focus is specifically on a simple fluid in which the interaction between a pair of film molecules is governed by the Lennard-Jones (12,6) potential [33,58,59,77,79-84]. A confined simple fluid serves as a suitable model for approximately spherical OMCTS molecules confined... 

Uncovering of the three dimentional structure of catalytic groups at the active site of an enzyme allows to theorize the catalytic mechanism, and the theory accelerates the designing of model systems. Examples of such enzymes are zinc ion containing carboxypeptidase A 1-5) and carbonic anhydrase6-11. There are many other zinc enzymes with a variety of catalytic functions. For example, alcohol dehydrogenase is also a zinc enzyme and the subject of intensive model studies. However, the topics of this review will be confined to the model studies of the former hydrolytic metallo-enzymes. 

As a very simple application of the approach presented in sect. 2, we confine our attention to a model system consisting of 2Ne independent charged particles...

In this spirit, an attempt will be made to account for the magnitude of pressure effects on ligand substitution reaction rates. Attention will necessarily be confined to a few simple model systems two recent reviews (1, 2) of pressure effects on reactions of transition metal complexes in solution may be consulted for more comprehensive surveys of the field. 

First detailed studies of the dynamic structure factor of highly entangled polymer melts were reported at the beginning of the 90 s. At that time the attainable Fourier times were limited to about 40 ns. On this time scale, NSE has already played a crucial role in helping to understand the dynamics of polymeric systems [49, 50, 72, 73]. At that time the existence of an entanglement length scale in a linear polymer was been proven [72]. However, with the available time resolution, it was not possible to separate the predictions of the different confinement models addressed above.
