Insight into Physical and Thermodynamic Properties of X3Ir (X = Ti, V, Cr, Nb and Mo) Compounds Influenced by Refractory Elements: A First-Principles Calculation

open access: yesCrystals, 2019
The effects of refractory metals on physical and thermodynamic properties of X3Ir (X = Ti, V, Cr, Nb and Mo) compounds were investigated using local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) methods within the first ...

$M$Si$_{20}$H$_{20}$ Aggregates: From Simple Building Blocks to Highly Magnetic Functionalized Materials

open access: yes, 2013
Density-functional theory based global geometry optimization is used to scrutinize the possibility of using endohedrally-doped hydrogenated Si clusters as building blocks for constructing highly magnetic materials. In contrast to the known clathrate-type

Bio‐Inspired Molecular Events in Poly(Ionic Liquids)

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Originating from dipolar and polar inter‐ and intra‐chain interactions of the building blocks, the topologies and morphologies of poly(ionic liquids) (PIL) govern their nano‐ and micro‐processibility. Modulating the interactions of cation‐anion pairs with aliphatic dipolar components enables the tunability of properties, facilitated by “bottom‐up ...

Dual‐Ligand Metal‐Organic Frameworks via In Situ Amidoxime Engineering for Selective Ion Separation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by microbial ion‐trapping mechanisms, a mild and universal strategy is developed to construct highly porous amidoxime‐functionalized MOFs. DFT calculations and molecular force measurements reveal that the dual‐ligand amidoxime configuration significantly strengthens Ga(III) affinity.

Quantifying memory capacity as a quantum thermodynamic resource

open access: yes, 2019
The information-carrying capacity of a memory is known to be a thermodynamic resource facilitating the conversion of heat to work. Szilard's engine explicates this connection through a toy example involving an energy-degenerate two-state memory.

Optimization of thermodynamic efficiency in binary-type geothermal electric power generating plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
Calculations and curves are presented which prove that for each turbine entry temperature, there is an entry pressure which will optimize the thermodynamic efficiency of a ''binary'' type geothermal power plant. Comparisons are made between thermodynamic efficiency and another method of rating process efficiency.

Thermodynamic optimization on supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycles to achieve combined heat and power generation

open access: yesEnergy Conversion and Management, 2022
Abstract The development of combined heat and power (CHP) systems based on the supercritical carbon dioxide (SCO2) Brayton cycle is important to enhance the energy utilization efficiency and satisfy different energy demands. Therefore, this study summarizes and compares the SCO2 CHP configurations in terms of back-pressure heating (system without pre-

Artificial Intelligence as the Next Visionary in Liquid Crystal Research

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The functions of AI in the research laboratory are becoming increasingly sophisticated, allowing the entire process of hypothesis formulation, material design, synthesis, experimental design, and reiterative testing to be automated. In our work, we conceive how the incorporation of AI in the laboratory environment will transform the role and ...
