Methods and Comments

Besides the synthesis methods for porous membranes and their modification methods discussed above, other synthesis methods have been reported. These are outlined below. Preparation of dense membranes is discussed in Section 2.2. The other types are the so-called dynamically formed membranes which

In the following, we first briefly review the SCC-DFTB method and comment on a few issues related to the implementation of SCC-DFTB/MM, such as the multi-scale SCC-DFTB/MM-GSBP protocol. Next, a few specific examples of SCC-DFTB/MM simulations are given. The basic motivation is to highlight a number of issues that might impact either the quantitative or even qualitative nature of the result. We hope that the chapter is particularly instructive to researchers who are relatively new to the field and able to help them carry out meaningful QM/MM simulations.

After an introductory chapter we review in Chap. 2 the classical definition of stress, strain and modulus and summarize the commonly used solutions of the equations of elasticity. In Chap. 3 we show how these classical solutions are applied to various test methods and comment on the problems imposed by specimen size, shape and alignment and also by the methods by which loads are applied. In Chap. 4 we discuss non-homogeneous materials and die theories relating to them, pressing die analogies with composites and the value of the concept of the representative volume element (RVE). Chapter 5 is devoted to a discussion of the RVE for crystalline and non-crystalline polymers and scale effects in testing. In Chap. 6 we discuss the methods so far available for calculating the elastic properties of polymers and the relevance of scale effects in this context.

Since there already exist several review articles, highlights of the most important methods and comments on the different principles will be described. Variations in performing analytical methods especially for calcite, organic carbon, pyrite, sulfides, and CEC reaction have resulted in the development of standard methods. In Figures 1-4, the most common analytical... 

Given the complexity of the systems and the diversity of the questions still open in the field of metal clusters, it is no wonder that essentially all the methods available from the ample arsenal of quantum chemistry have been applied to cluster problems. We will not give an extensive overview of the many different methods (let alone aim for completeness) and leave aside most technical aspects. This information can be found in spedalized publications (e. g. [11-15]), from which some are even devoted to the electronic structures of clusters. [16, 17] Instead, we will summarize the basic features of the methods and comment on their applicability to the description of both naked and ligated metal dusters. We will start the discussion with wave function based methods and then proceed to density functional methods. Although the latter have only recently gained a broader acceptance for chemical applications, they have a rich tradition in the metal cluster field, particularly due to their solid state heritage. We will also briefly mention simplified approaches to the electronic structure of metal clusters.
