Intriguing examples of inhomogeneous broadening
Francesco Ancilotto, M. Mercedes Calbi, Milton W. Cole +2
Three problems are considered in which inhomogeneous broadening can yield unusual consequences. One problem involves the energy levels of atoms moving within nanopores of nearly cy…
Lattice-gas Monte Carlo study of adsorption in pores
Raluca A. Trasca, M. Mercedes Calbi, Milton W. Cole +1
A lattice gas model of adsorption inside cylindrical pores is evaluated with Monte Carlo simulations. The model incorporates two kinds of site: (a line of) ``axial'' sites and surr…
Lattice dilation near a single hydrogen molecule in an interstitial channel within a nanotube bundle
M. Mercedes Calbi, Ari Mizel, Milton W. Cole
We explore the ground state of a single hydrogen molecule within an interstitial channel (IC) of a bundle of carbon nanotubes. A previous (variational) study found that when many m…
Universal anisotropic condensation transition of gases in nanotube bundles
Silvina M. Gatica, M. Mercedes Calbi, Milton W. Cole
Gases adsorbed within bundles of carbon nanotubes (inside of the nanotubes or in the interstitial channels between the tubes) exhibit a variety of phase transitions with the help o…
Bose-Einstein Condensation of Molecular Hydrogen in Nanotube Bundles
Francesco Ancilotto, M. Mercedes Calbi, Silvina M. Gatica +1
We evaluate the effects of heterogeneity on the density of states of H molecules inside interstitial channels within bundles of carbon nanotubes. As temperature (T) falls, the…
Systematic model behavior of adsorption on flat surfaces
Raluca A. Trasca, Milton W. Cole, Renee D. Diehl
A low density film on a flat surface is described by an expansion involving the first four virial coefficients. The first coefficient (alone) yields the Henry's law regime, while t…
Three-body interactions involving clusters and films
Silvina M. Gatica, M. Mercedes Calbi, Milton W. Cole +1
The three body (triple dipole) interaction of Axilrod, Teller and Muto (ATM) contributes 5 to 10 % of the total energy of condensed phases of inert elements. It is shown in this pa…
Peas in a pod: quasi-one-dimensional C60 molecules in a nanotube
M. Mercedes Calbi, Silvina M. Gatica, Milton W. Cole
We evaluate the equation of state of the quasi-one-dimensional (1D) phase of C60 molecules in small carbon nanotubes, nicknamed ``peas in a pod''. The chemical potential and 1D pre…
