Peptide Isomerization is Suppressed at the Air-Water Interface

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Aditya N. Singh, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the thermodynamics and kinetics of alanine dipeptide isomerization at the air-water interface. Thermodynamically, we find an affinity of the dipeptide to the interface. This affinity arises from stablizing intramolecular […]

Inspiraling Corrugation-Induced Quantum Effects on Neutron Star Binary Plane

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, , , , | Summary: We use the path-integral formula and investigate some dynamical quantum effects induced by the inspiraling lateral corrugation of orbital plane in gravitationally bound neutron star (NS) binaries, with orbital separation of $10^9$ m. Based on Dewitt’s approach, we calculate the […]

Near Threshold Heavy Quarkonium Photoproduction at Large Momentum Transfer

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Peng Sun, Xuan-Bo Tong, Feng Yuan, , | Summary: Perturbative QCD is applied to investigate the near threshold heavy quarkonium photoproduction at large momentum transfer. We take into account the contributions from the leading three-quark Fock states of the nucleon. The dominant contribution comes from the three-quark […]

Dynamics of photosynthetic light harvesting systems interacting with N-photon Fock states

Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Liwen Ko, Robert L. Cook, K. Birgitta Whaley, , | Summary: We develop a method to simulate the excitonic dynamics of realistic photosynthetic light harvesting systems including non-Markovian coupling to phonon degrees of freedom, under excitation by N-photon Fock state pulses. This method combines the input-output […]
