Abstract Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) is a novel MRI based technique that
relies on estimates of the magnetic field distribution in the tissue under examination. Several …

The problem of functionalizing and coating nanoparticles with surfactants dispersed in a
colloid is a prevalent case in nanoscience and related studies. It is known that surfactants …

The alignment of the frontier orbital energies of an adsorbed molecule with the substrate
Fermi level at metal-organic interfaces is a fundamental observable of significant practical …

In this article, we consider the theoretical underpinning of the coupled-dipole approximation
as it is used in the multiple scattering theory. Specific topics include the definitions of the …

Predictions about the electrical conductance across molecular junctions based on self-
assembled monolayers (SAMs) are often made from the SAM precursor properties …

Dielectric materials are ubiquitous in optics, electronics, and materials science. Recently,
there have been new efforts to characterize the dielectric performance of thin films …

The control over material properties attainable through molecular doping is essential to
many technological applications of organic semiconductors, such as organic light‐emitting …

Severe respiratory syndrome COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak has became the most
important global health issue, and simultaneous efforts to fast and low-cost diagnosis of this …

An intrinsic/fundamental-physics reason is presented for why the dielectric breakdown
strength E bd reduces with dielectric thickness t diel. Through extensive use of layered …
