van der Waals Potential: An Important Complement to Molecular Electrostatic Potential in Studying Intermolecular Interactions [PDF]
Electrostatic and van der Waals (vdW) interactions are two major components of intermolecular weak interactions. Electrostatic potential has been a very popular function in revealing electrostatic interaction between the system under study and other ...

Spin-dependent transport of interacting electrons in mesoscopic systems [PDF]
Spin-dependent electronic transport properties of mesoscopic systems are studied using the nonequilibrium Green function formalism. In the first part we examine the influence of short-range electron-electron interactions on the conductance of quantum ...

Smooth boundary topology optimization applied to an electrostatic actuator [PDF]
Smooth boundary topology optimization (SBTO) avoids many of the problems encountered by conventional cell based systems coupled with material homogenization or density method. Shape optimization becomes part of topology optimization. The effectiveness of
