Journal ArticleDOI
Green synthesis of gold nanoparticles using plant extracts as reducing agents
TL;DR: Gold nanoparticles showed good biocompatibility and good stability for over 3 weeks, therefore, they can be used for imaging and drug-delivery applications in the human body.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decomposition of Triacetone Triperoxide Is an Entropic Explosion
Faina Dubnikova,Ronnie Kosloff,Joseph Almog,Yehuda Zeiri,Roland Boese,Harel Itzhaky,and Aaron Alt,Ehud Keinan +7 more
TL;DR: Both X-ray crystallography and electronic structure calculations using the cc-pVDZ basis set at the DFT B3LYP level were employed to study the explosive properties of triacetone triperoxide (TATP) and diacetone diperoxide and predict that the explosion of TATP is not a thermochemically highly favored event.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atomistic-scale simulations of the initial chemical events in the thermal initiation of triacetonetriperoxide
TL;DR: The authors' simulations demonstrate that thermal initiation of condensed-phase TATP is entropy-driven (rather than enthalpy-driven), since the initial reaction (which mainly leads to the formation of acetone, O(2), and several unstable C(3)H(6)O(2) isomers) is almost energy-neutral.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decomposition of condensed phase energetic materials: interplay between uni- and bimolecular mechanisms.
David Furman,Ronnie Kosloff,Faina Dubnikova,Sergey V. Zybin,William A. Goddard,Naomi Rom,Barak Hirshberg,Yehuda Zeiri +7 more
TL;DR: This study elucidates the origin of the difference between the activation energies in the gas phase and the condensed phase of TNT and identifies the corresponding universal principle and the different reactivities of nitro-based organic explosives are rationalized as an interplay between uni- and bimolecular processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Density-dependent liquid nitromethane decomposition: molecular dynamics simulations based on ReaxFF.
Naomi Rom,Sergey V. Zybin,Adri C. T. van Duin,William A. Goddard,Yehuda Zeiri,Gil Katz,Ronnie Kosloff +6 more
TL;DR: Atomic averaged local diffusion coefficients are shown to be sensitive to the reactions dynamics, and can be used to distinguish between time periods where chemical reactions occur and diffusion-dominated, nonreactive time periods.
