This talk will focus on discussing and analyzing intermolecular interactions between organic conjugated polymers used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and between conjugated oligomers and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in CNT-oligomer composites. Dispersion-corrected density functional theory will be employed to study these systems. The construction of multilayered OLEDs typically involves...

We consider the one-dimensional spin chain for arbitrary spin s on a periodic chain with N sites,
H = \sum_i^N ( a (S_i^z)^2 + b S_i^z S_{i+1}^z ),
the generalization of the chain that was studied by Blume and Capel. The Hamiltonian only involves the z component of the spin thus it is essentially an Ising model. The Hamiltonian also figures exactly as the anisotropic term in the famous...

Ratcheting systems make it possible to control the motion of particles in such a way that it becomes possible to separate mixtures of particles on the basis of various physical properties (such as charge, size, shape, etc.). The ratcheting system that we study is a standard microfluidic channel with symmetry breaking obstacles placed...

Granular chains have been the focus of a number of studies, in part due to their numerous applications, ranging from shock absorption and vibration reduction to energy localization. Force impulses to an unloaded granular chain result in a propagating solitary wave (SW), analogous to a soliton of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. When SWs collide with a boundary or another SW, secondary solitary...

Noise is imminent to a quantum computing process. With the help of quantum error correcting codes, the logical information in a qubit can be preserved by encoding it in a system of several physical qubits and by performing gates in a fault tolerant manner. However, it is crucial to know the noise model affecting the physical qubits, in order to estimate the error on the logical qubit and...
