Fluctuation Theory in Chemical Kinetics

  • Bhupendra Nath Tiwari,
  • S. Chandra Kishore,
  • Ninoslav Marina and
  • Stefano Bellucci

In this research, we study the stability properties of chemical reactions of arbitrary orders. In a given chemical experiment, we focus on the formation of a chemical equilibrium by optimizing the reaction rate. Under infinitesimal simultaneous varia...

Effect and Characterization of Stone–Wales Defects on Graphene Quantum Dot: A First-Principles Study

  • Gargi Chakraborti (Banerjee),
  • Arka Bandyopadhyay and
  • Debnarayan Jana

A first principles based density functional theory (DFT) has been employed to identify the signature of Stone–Wales (SW) defects in semiconducting graphene quantum dot (GQD). Results show that the G mode in the Raman spectra of GQD has been red...

  • Marta Moraschi,
  • Charles Nicaise,
  • Inna Bukreeva,
  • Fabio Mangini,
  • Federico Giove,
  • Alessia Cedola and
  • Michela Fratini

Fractal analysis is a powerful method for the morphological study of complex systems that is increasingly applied to biomedical images. Spatial resolution and image segmentation are crucial for the discrimination of tissue structures at the multiscal...

Iron Speciation in Insoluble Dust from High-Latitude Snow: An X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Study

  • Shiwei Liu,
  • Cunde Xiao,
  • Zhiheng Du,
  • Augusto Marcelli,
  • Giannantonio Cibin,
  • Giovanni Baccolo,
  • Yingcai Zhu,
  • Alessandro Puri,
  • Valter Maggi and
  • Wei Xu

Iron is thought to limit the biomass of phytoplankton populations in extensive regions of the ocean, which are referred to as high-nutrient low-chlorophyll (HNLC) regions. Iron speciation in soils is still poorly understood. We have investigated inor...

XANES Iron Geochemistry in the Mineral Dust of the Talos Dome Ice Core (Antarctica) and the Southern Hemisphere Potential Source Areas

  • Valter Maggi,
  • Giovanni Baccolo,
  • Giannantonio Cibin,
  • Barbara Delmonte,
  • Dariush Hampai and
  • Augusto Marcelli

X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) measurements at the Fe K-edge were performed on aeolian dust in the TALos Dome Ice CorE drilling project (TALDICE) ice core drilled in the peripheral East Antarctic plateau, as well as on Southern Hemisphe...

The Magnetic Properties of 1111-type Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor (La1−xBax)(Zn1−xMnx)AsO in the Low Doping Regime

  • Guoxiang Zhi,
  • Kai Wang,
  • Haojie Zhang,
  • Cui Ding,
  • Shengli Guo,
  • Yilun Gu,
  • Licheng Fu and
  • F. L. Ning

We investigated the magnetic properties of (La 1 − x Ba x )(Zn 1 − x Mn x )AsO with x varying from 0.005 to 0.05 at an external magnetic field of 1000 Oe. For doping levels of x ≤ 0.01, the system remain...
