There are many reasons to report on silica interacting with biomolecules. The most obvious
one is that on the Earth's crust, oxygen and silicon are the most abundant atomic species …

This paper reviews our recent spectroscopic study on poly (3-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB) for the
terahertz (THz) frequency region. Clear differences are observed between the absorption …

The formation mechanism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) with three fused
aromatic rings starting from naphthalene has been studied using accurate ab initio G3 (MP2 …

In B n N n cages or tubes, when the quasi-borazine rings are attached to each other through
a pair of common atoms of B and N, the bonding structure is named class A. On the other …

Sulfone-based electrolytes have attracted a great attention due to their high oxidation
stability comparing to conventional carbonates. However, the ab initio calculated oxidation …

The inhibition effect of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) on the corrosion of steel (API 5L
X52) in 1 M H2SO4 was investigated by electrochemical and theoretical methods. The …

Different fluoropropenes are currently considered as refrigerants, either as pure compounds
or as components in low GWP (global warming potential) refrigerant mixtures. However …

In this work we report the spectral evolution of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering
(SERS) response of biotin molecules that generate the assembly of Ag and Au nanospheres …

The description of C 3 hydrocarbon chemistry in current photochemical models of Titan's
atmosphere is found to be far from complete. We have carefully investigated the …

For small organic conjugated molecules the exciton binding energy can be calculated
treating molecules as conductors, and is given by a simple relation BE≈ e2/(4πε0εR), where …
