Inferring electrospray emission characteristics from molecular dynamics and simulated retarding potential analysis by Schroeder, Madeleine, Gallud, Ximo, Petro, Elaine, Jia-Richards, Oliver, Lozano, Paulo C

“…In this work, we present coordinated molecular dynamics, ion cluster acceleration, and retarding potential analysis simulations to determine cluster fragmentation behavior in a realistic emitter geometry for electrosprays operating in the pure ionic regime. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to determine the fragmentation rates of ionic liquid clusters as a function of internal energy, electric field strength, and cluster size. …”

Probing the nature of the χc1(3872) state using radiative decays by Aaij, R., Abdelmotteleb, A. S. W., Abellan Beteta, C., Abudinén, F., Ackernley, T., Adefisoye, A. A., Adeva, B., Adinolfi, M., Adlarson, P., Agapopoulou, C., Aidala, C. A., Ajaltouni, Z., Akar, S., Akiba, K., Albicocco, P., Albrecht, J.

“…The measured ratio makes the interpretation of the χc1(3872) state as a pure D0 D ¯ ∗ 0 + D ¯ 0 D*0 molecule questionable and strongly indicates a sizeable compact charmonium or tetraquark component within the χc1(3872) state.…”

New insights into the diverse electronic phases of a novel vanadium dioxide polymorph : a terahertz spectroscopy study by Chia, Elbert E. M., Lourembam, James, Srivastava, Amar, La-o-vorakiat, Chan, Rotella, H., Venkatesan, T.

“…In VO2(B), a critical temperature of 240 K marks the appearance of a non-zero Drude term in the observed complex conductivity, indicating the evolution from a pure insulating state towards a metallic state. In contrast, the THz conductivity of the well-known VO2(M1) is well fitted only by a modification of the Drude model to include backscattering. …”

Metal-organic-framework-based catalysts for photoreduction of Co2 by Li, Rui, Zhang, Wang, Zhou, Kun

“…Detailed discussions focus on two constituents of pure MOFs (metal clusters such as Ti-O, Zr-O, and Fe-O clusters and functional organic linkers such as amino-modified, photosensitizer-functionalized, and electron-rich conjugated linkers) and three types of MOF-based composites (metal-MOF, semiconductor-MOF, and photosensitizer-MOF composites). …”

Design of a special vent component for hydrogen-on-demand system by Lim, Sin Wei

“…Therefore, methods such as water electrolysis, thermochemical process, and hydrolysis of metal hydrides have been studied to produce pure hydrogen for application. Due to hydrogen’s low energy density and high flammability, proper storage is essential to prevent overpressure within the system since hydrogen produced has to be pressurized to increase its energy density. …”

SectionKey: 3-D semantic point cloud descriptor for place recognition in large-scale environments by Jin, Shutong

“…More recent attention has been attracted to use 3-D Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) scans, where most of the LiDAR-based methods work by leveraging accurate geometric information that demonstrates more credibility. However, these pure geometric-based methods are tend to fail in repetitive and ambiguous scenarios in the urban environments, which may result in low place recognition accuracy and efficiency. …”

Two-dimensional melting of two- and three-component mixtures by Li, Yan-Wei, Yao, Yugui, Ciamarra, Massimo Pica

“…We show that a mixture's melting pathway may differ from its components and demonstrate eutectic mixtures that crystallize at a higher density than their pure components. Comparing the melting scenario of many two- and three-component mixtures, we establish universal melting criteria: the solid and hexatic phases become unstable as the density of topological defects, respectively, overcomes ρ_{d,s}≃0.046 and ρ_{d,h}≃0.123.…”
