Simulated Stress and Stretch of SWCNT
Ana Proykova, Hristo Iliev
The mechanical stability of open single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) under axial stress (compression and tension) and twist has been re-examined in a search of specific tube-lengt…
Can Small Free Methane Clusters Exhibit Phase-like Transitions?
E. Daykova, Ana Proykova
Low-temperature (below 60K) phase changes of free clusters containing 50, 137, and 229 methane molecules have been observed in isoenergetic Molecular Dynamics computations. Bulk so…
A Model for Randomly Correlated Deposition
Ana Proykova, Boris Karadjov
A simple, discrete, parametric model is proposed to describe conditional (correlated) deposition of particles on a surface and formation of a connecting (percolating) cluster. The…
Simple Simulation of Magnetic Structure for Nanoclusters
Ana Proykova, Dietrich Stauffer
A simple discrete model for magnetic structures of chromium nanoclusters, found with the help of local-spin DFT by Kohl and Bertsch, still confirms their conclusion that in most of…
Optimization of molecular clusters configurations using a Genetic Algorithm
Stoyan Pisov, A. Proykova
We present a genetic algorithm developed (GA) to optimize molecular AF_6 cluster configurations with respect to their energy. The method is based on the Darvin's evolutionary theor…
Symmetry in Order-Disorder Changes of Molecular Clusters
Ana Proykova, Dessislava Nikolova, R. Stephen Berry
The dynamic orientational order-disorder transition of clusters consisting of octahedral molecules is formulated in terms of symmetry-adapted rotator functions. The transition from…
