Journal ArticleDOI

Brownian dynamics simulation of model polymer fluids in shear flow. I: Dumbbell models

TL;DR: In this article, Brownian dynamics simulations of kinetic theory models for dilute polymer solutions in a shear flow are presented, including examination of the effects of hydrodynamic interactions and excluded volume.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of polytetrahedral structures in the elongation and rupture of gold nanowires.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that use of the ReaxFF force field, fitted to high-accuracy first-principles calculations of Au, combines the accuracy of quantum calculations with the speed of semiempirical methods.

Nanoscience Research for Energy Needs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present exciting and requisite approaches to addressing the global challenges of protecting the environment by increasing energy efficiency and developing clean energy sources, and their resolution is vital to our energy security.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermodynamics and kinetics of ion speciation in supercritical aqueous solutions: A molecular based study

TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation of infinitely dilute NaCl aqueous solutions is performed to study the Na{sup +}/Cl{sup -} ion pairing in a polarizable and a nonpolarizable solvent at supercritical conditions.
