Electronic structure mechanical properties

We examine the derivation of information about molecular structure and properties from analysis of pure rotational and vibration-rotational spectral data of diatomic molecular species on the basis of Dunham s algebraic formalism, making comparison with results from alternative approaches. According to an implementation of computational spectrometry, wave-mechanical calculations of molecular electronic structure and properties have already played an important role in spectral reduction through interaction of quantum chemistry and spectral analysis. 

These new methods of nonequihbrium statistical mechanics can be applied to understand the fluctuating properties of out-of-equilibrium nanosystems. Today, nanosystems are studied not only for their structure but also for their functional properties. These properties are concerned by the time evolution of the nanosystems and are studied in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. These properties range from the electronic and mechanical properties of single molecules to the kinetics of molecular motors. Because of their small size, nanosystems and their properties such as the currents are affected by the fluctuations which can be described by the new methods. 

Interest in carbon nanotubes has grown at a very rapid rate because of their many exceptional properties, which span the spectrum from mechanical and chemical robustness to novel electronic transport properties. The field is reviewed and several of the important directions, including their chemical structure, electronic structure, transport properties, electronic, elastic and field emission properties are summarized. 

Thin films of a rare earth on another metal (or the other way round) were investigated by various authors. Flowever, real alloys were rarely formed and most of the time such studies were performed from a purely surface science point of view (electronic structure, spectroscopic properties. ..) and with no direct relevance to catalysis. One may quote, for example, the oxidation studies of tantalum and aluminum with thin cerium overlayers, carried out at low temperature, which showed that cerium enhances the oxide growth on both substrates (Braaten et al. 1989). However, the mechanism was not identical. No alloy was formed with tantalum and a catalytic oxidation took place. On aluminum, the formation of an intermetallic Ce—Al-O oxide layer was evidenced. 

Aluminum nitride may be used in composite structures containing aluminum for either structural or electronic applications, due to its attractive thermal, electronic, and mechanical properties [176-178]. AlN ceramics are also known to have a sufficiently high-temperature compatibility with refractory metals. Finally, AlN is an ecologically safe material. The structure of AlN as a ceramics layer of the multilayer Al/AlN composites has been investigated to only a limited degree [179]. 

This chapter is devoted to an investigation by the EPR method of the structure of the radicals of the most widespread classes of inhibitors -phenols, naphthols, aromatic amines - their electronic structure, mechanism of formation, and their physical and chemical properties. ... 

Quantum mechanics governs the behavior of the electrons (and nuclei) that are involved in the forces that bind atoms together to form molecules. The Schrodinger equation, shown in its simplest form in Eq. 3.1, provides us with a prescription to calculate the electronic structure and properties of molecules, and to study their interactions and reactions. 

Cones, whiskers, and GPC can bridge the nano- and microworlds and may have numerous applications, where sizes between nanotubes and carbon fibers are required. They may also have interesting electronic and mechanical properties determined by their geometry. However, although their structure has been well understood, very little is known about their properties. Properties need to be studied before their wide-scale applications can be explored.
