Spatially Heterogeneous Dynamics in Supercooled LiquidsAnnual Review of Physical Chemistry - Tập 51 Số 1 - Trang 99-128 - 2000
M. D. Ediger
Although it has long been recognized that dynamics in supercooled liquids might be spatially heterogeneous, only in the past few years has clear evidence emerged to support this view. As a liquid is cooled far below its melting point, dynamics in some regions of the sample can be orders of magnitude faster than dynamics in other regions only a few nanometers away. In this review, the expe...... hiện toàn bộ
CONTROLLED MOLECULAR ADSORPTION ON SILICON: Laying a Foundation for Molecular DevicesAnnual Review of Physical Chemistry - Tập 50 Số 1 - Trang 413-441 - 1999
Robert A. Wolkow
▪ Abstract This review is about understanding and controlling organic molecular adsorption on silicon. The goal is to provide a microscopic picture of structure and bonding in covalently attached molecule-silicon surface systems. The bias here is that an unprecedented, detailed understanding of adsorbate-surface structures is required in order to gain the control necessary to incorporate...... hiện toàn bộ
Progress Toward a Molecular Mechanism of Water Oxidation in Photosystem IIAnnual Review of Physical Chemistry - Tập 68 Số 1 - Trang 101-116 - 2017
David J. Vinyard, Gary W. Brudvig
The active site of photosynthetic water oxidation is the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) in the photosystem II (PSII) reaction center. The OEC is a Mn4CaO5 cluster embedded in the PSII protein matrix, and it cycles through redox intermediates known as Si states (i = 0–4). Significant progress has been made in understanding the i...... hiện toàn bộ
Optical Properties and Ultrafast Dynamics of Metallic NanocrystalsAnnual Review of Physical Chemistry - Tập 54 Số 1 - Trang 331-366 - 2003
Stephan Link, Mostafa A. El‐Sayed
▪ Abstract Noble metal particles have long fascinated scientists because of their intense color, which led to their application in stained glass windows as early as the Middle Ages. The recent resurrection of colloidal and cluster chemistry has brought about the strive for new materials that allow a bottoms-up approach of building improved and new devices with nanoparticles or artificial...... hiện toàn bộ
Copper and the Prion Protein: Methods, Structures, Function, and DiseaseAnnual Review of Physical Chemistry - Tập 58 Số 1 - Trang 299-320 - 2007
Glenn L. Millhauser
The transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) arise from conversion of the membrane-bound prion protein from PrPC to PrPSc. Examples of the TSEs include mad cow disease, chronic wasting disease in deer and elk, scrapie in goats and sheep, and kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. Although the precise function of PrPC... hiện toàn bộ
Stochastic Simulation of Chemical KineticsAnnual Review of Physical Chemistry - Tập 58 Số 1 - Trang 35-55 - 2007
Daniel T. Gillespie
Stochastic chemical kinetics describes the time evolution of a well-stirred chemically reacting system in a way that takes into account the fact that molecules come in whole numbers and exhibit some degree of randomness in their dynamical behavior. Researchers are increasingly using this approach to chemical kinetics in the analysis of cellular systems in biology, where the small molecula...... hiện toàn bộ
