ABSTRACT
A computational study of the degenerate 1,5-suprafacial migration of the 5-substituted cyclopentadienes is presented. The substituents considered are the Group 14â€“17 elements of the second through fifth periods, saturated by hydrogens as needed to fulfill normal valence requirements. The geometry of most transition states are remarkably similar in the carbon framework. The activation barrier to migration was shown to correlate well with a dimensionless "stretching" parameter, especially at the MP2 level.

A very high flux of hydrogen atoms with energies in the eV range has been obtained by using a thermal plasma source and by optimization of the nozzle exit geometry. It proves that the flux of hydrogen atoms emerging from a cascaded arc plasma source depends strongly on the geometry of the...

We describe methods by which the growth of a single carbon nanotube (CNT) can be precisely controlled by an electrical current. In one method a CNT is grown to a predetermined geometry inside another nanotube, which serves as a reaction chamber. Another method allows a preexisting...
