The stress states in Si particles of cast Al-Si based alloys depend on its morphology and the heat treatment given to the alloy. The Si particles fracture less on modification and fracture more in the heat treated condition. ...

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has gained paramount importance in the recent past due to its widespread applications in biodetection, monitoring chemical reactions, small molecule protein interactions, etc. It ...

In the present experiment, two GaN nanowall network (NWN) samples with different porosity were grown on c-sapphire substrates using plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE). Ag nanoparticles were deposited on both ...

Protic ionic liquids (PILs) are of great interest as electrolytes in various energy applications. Molecular dynamics simulations of trialkylammonium (with varying alkyl group such as methyl, ethyl, and n-propyl) triflate ...

Modelling the adsorption of small molecule gases such as N-2, CH4 and CO2 in porous solids can provide valuable insights for the development of next generation materials. Employing a grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation ...

A coarse-grained (CG) force field to model the self-assembly of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) class of compounds in nonpolar solvents has been developed. The model includes an intrinsic point dipole embedded on one ...

A refined set of potential parameters for I-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium based room temperature ionic liquids with anions such as acetate, dicyanamide, and thiocyanate has been obtained. Site charges of ions were derived ...

Many organisms show rhythmicity in physiological processes, metabolism, behaviours and reproduction. Depending upon the period, rhythms are classified as - ultradian rhythms (milliseconds to hr), circadian rhythms (24 ...

The rising global energy demand is causing a dramatic acceleration of social unrest. Impact of climate change on the environment due to combustion of nonrenewable energy sources is becoming increasingly alarming. Driven ...
