Is the atomic quadrupole moment of a carbon atom in graphene zero?: The case for a rational definition of the properties of atoms in a molecule
Devin M. Mulvey, Kenneth D. Jordan, Alston J. Misquitta
It is generally assumed that the carbon atoms of graphitic samples and their finite analogs have sizable quadrupole moments, with the out-of-plane component ( in tr…
X-ray total scattering study of regular and magic-size nanoclusters of cadmium sulphide
Lei Tan, Alston J Misquitta, Andrei Sapelkin +8
Four kinds of magic-size CdS clusters and two different regular CdS quantum dots have been studied by x-ray total scattering technique and pair distribution function method. Result…
Anomalous non-additive dispersion interactions in systems of three one-dimensional wires
Alston J. Misquitta, Ryo Maezono, Neil D. Drummond +2
The non-additive dispersion contribution to the binding energy of three one-dimensional (1D) wires is investigated using wires modelled by (i) chains of hydrogen atoms and (ii) hom…
Dispersion interactions between semiconducting wires
Alston J. Misquitta, James Spencer, Anthony J. Stone +1
The dispersion energy between extended molecular chains (or equivalently infinite wires) with non-zero band gaps is generally assumed to be expressible as a pair-wise sum of atom-a…
