Hydration for a Series of Hydrocarbons

Author(s)
Raymond D. Mountain, D Thirumalai
The hydrophobic hydration in a series of hydrocarbons is probed using molecular dynamics simulations. The solutes considered range from methane to octane

Microcalorimeter EDS Measurements of Chemical Shifts in Fe Compounds

Author(s)
David A. Wollman, Dale E. Newbury, Gene C. Hilton, Kent D. Irwin, L L. Dulcie, Norman F. Bergren, John M. Martinis
Chemical shifts result from changes in electron binding energies with the chemical environment of atoms. In x-ray spectra, chemical shifts lead to changes in x
