Effects of Hyporheic Exchange and Settlement on the Particle Size Distribution of Colloids

Colloid particle size plays an important role in contaminant adsorption and clogging in the hyporheic zone, but it remains unclear how the particle size changes during the transport of colloids. This study investigated the variation of the particle size of ...

Colloid transport and distribution in the hyporheic zone

David Andrew Barry

Colloids moving from the stream into the hyporheic zone may have a negative impact on aquatic ecosystems as they are potential contaminants or carriers of contaminants. Moreover, retained colloids in the hyporheic zone could not only reduce the exchange fl ...

The role of dispersion forces on the atomic structure of glassy chalcogenides: The case of GeSe4 and GeS4

Assil Bouzid, Carlo Massobrio

Recent first-principles molecular dynamics simulations (FPMD) results on two chalcogenide glasses (glassy GeS4 and GeSe4) are revisited by accounting explicitly for van der Waals (vdW) dispersion forces. This effort is motivated by the observation that suc ...

Influence of Disorder and Finite-Size Effects on Slow Light Transport in Extended Photonic Crystal Coupled-Cavity Waveguides

Romuald Houdré, Vincenzo Savona, Momchil Minkov, Mohamed Sabry Abdel-Aliem Mohamed

A convenient approach for slowing down light in integrated optical circuits is by utilizing a set of coupled microcavities in a photonic crystal lattice. While this provides for flexibility in dispersion engineering, light transport is influenced by a comb ...

Molecular bonding with the RPAx: From weak dispersion forces to strong correlation

Nicola Colonna

In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. B 90, 125102 ( 2014)], we showed that the random phase approximation with exchange (RPAx) gives accurate total energies for a diverse set of systems including the high and low density regime of the homogeneous electron gas, th ...

Assessment Of The Dispersion Quality Of Refractive Index-Matched Nanodispersions

Véronique Michaud

Dispersion quality has a large influence on the resulting properties of filled polymers, hybrids and nanocomposites in general. Reducing the van der Waals forces and therefore, matching the refractive index between the filler and the matrix should improve ...
