Molecular-Dynamics Study of Physical Properties in Sintered Nano-Particles

Kadau D., Kadau K., Lomdahl P.S., Entel P., Kadau D., Kadau K., Kreth M., Germann T.C., Holian B.L., Westerhoff F., Wolf D.E., Los Alamos National Laboratory, US

Nano-crystalline metals, in which the size of grains is in the nanometer range, exhibit physical properties different from ordinary polycrystalline materials, thus these materials are of technological interest [1]. One example is the increasing hardness [...]

11-cis-Retinal Protonated Schiff Base: The effect of environment and solvent on the chromophore of rhodopsin

Entel P., Sugihara M., Buß V., Elstner M., Frauenheim Th., Gerhard-Mercator-Universität, DE

Recently the structure of rhodopsin was determined from the X-ray diffraction data extending to the resolution of 2.8 A. We have studied the effects of amino acids and of water using A density functional based [...]
