Retarded and nonretarded van der Waals interactions between a cluster and a second cluster or a conducting surface
M. M. Calbi, S. M. Gatica, D. Velegol +1
In some respects, a cluster consisting of many atoms may be regarded as a single large atom. Knowing the dielectric properties of such a cluster permits one to evaluate the form of…
Ground state and thermal properties of a lattice gas on a cylindrical surface
M. Mercedes Calbi, Silvina M. Gatica, Mary J. Bojan +1
Adsorbed gases within, or outside of, carbon nanotubes may be analyzed with an approximate model of adsorption on lattice sites situated on a cylindrical surface. Using this model,…
Dimensional crossover and quantum effects of gases adsorbed on nanotube bundles
M. Mercedes Calbi, Milton W. Cole
Adsorption properties of several gases (Ne, CH4, Ar, Xe) on the external surface of a carbon nanotube bundle are investigated. Calculations are performed at low coverage and variab…
Enhanced cohesion of matter on a cylindrical surface
M. K. Kostov, M. W. Cole, G. D. Mahan +2
We evaluate the cohesive energies E of four systems in which particles move on a cylindrical surface, at fixed distance R from the axis. We find quite nonuniversal dependences…
Lattice model of gas condensation within nanopores
Raluca A. Trasca, M. Mercedes Calbi, Milton W. Cole
We explore the thermodynamic behavior of gases adsorbed within a nanopore. The theoretical description employs a simple lattice gas model, with two species of site, expected to des…
