A DFT study of the NO adsorption on Pdn (n = 1–4) clusters [PDF]
We report a density-functional study of some properties of the adsorption process of the NO molecule on small palladium clusters (n = 1–4). The interaction between NO and the Pdn clusters is studied on various adsorption sites.

Adsorption and self-assembly of porphyrins on ultrathin CoO films on Ir(100)
Porphyrins represent a versatile class of molecules, the adsorption behavior of which on solid surfaces is of fundamental interest due to a variety of potential applications. We investigate here the molecule–molecule and molecule–substrate interaction of

Adsorption time scales of cluster-forming systems [PDF]
A microscopic model of adsorption in cluster forming systems with competing interaction is considered. The adsorption process is described by the master equation and modelled by a kinetic Monte Carlo method.

DFT Study of Methanol Adsorption on Vacancy and N-Doped Graphene and Comparing Them with Pristine Graphene [PDF]
In this study, density functional theory was used to investigate the effect of adsorption process and interaction between methanol as a fuel and graphene as a catalyst. Thermodynamic studies in this field have shown that Gibb's free energy is positive in

Adsorption free energy predicts amyloid protein nucleation rates
Primary nucleation is the fundamental event that initiates the conversion of proteins from their normal physiological forms into pathological amyloid aggregates associated with the onset and development of disorders including systemic amyloidosis, as well as the neurodegenerative conditions Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

Two-Dimensional Quantum Dynamics of O$_2$ Dissociative Adsorption on Ag(111) [PDF]
We have investigated the quantum dynamics of O2 dissociative adsorption on a Ag(111) surface. We performed the calculations with a Hamiltonian where the O2 translational motion is perpendicular to the surface and for O2 vibrational energy.

Effect of functional groups on tribological properties of lubricants and mechanism investigation
Nine organic compounds were utilized as model lubricants to investigate the impact of functional groups on tribological performances. Nonanoic Acid with carboxyl showed the best lubrication properties, and fluid film and tribofilm were coexistent in its ...

Energy Consumption of Air-Separation Adsorption Methods [PDF]
Adsorption technology is currently one of the most popular methods of air separation. At relatively low energy expenditure, this allows oxygen to be obtained with sufficient purity for oxyfuel, metallurgy or medical applications. The adsorption process is dependent on several factors such as pressure, temperature, the concentration of adsorbed element ...
