RESUMO

Nanoscale corrugations are of great importance in determining the physical properties of two-dimensional crystals. However, the mechanical behavior of atomically thin films under strain is not fully understood. In this Letter, we show a layer-dependent mechanical response of molybdenum disulfide (MoS(2)) subject to atomistic-precision strain induced by 2H-bilayer island epitaxy. Dimensional crossover in the mechanical properties is evidenced by the formation of star-shaped nanoripple arrays in the first monolayer, while rippling instability is completely suppressed in the bilayer. Microscopic-level quantum mechanical simulations reveal that the nanoscale rippling is realized by the twisting of neighboring Mo-S bonds without modifying the chemical bond length, and thus invalidates the classical continuum mechanics. The formation of nanoripple arrays significantly changes the electronic and nanotribological properties of monolayer MoS(2). Our results suggest that quantum mechanical behavior is not unique for sp(2) bonding but general for atomic membranes under strain.

RESUMO

Optical properties of a series of finite sized hydrogenated carbon nanotubes with the smallest diameter of 4 A are studied systematically. Their absorption spectra are calculated with the localized-density-matrix method. The semiempirical MNDO parametric method 3 (PM3) Hamiltonian is employed. The finite optical gaps are predicted for the infinite long single-walled carbon nanotubes. Strong anisotropy characteristics of the dynamic polarizabilities are found for these tubes. The calculated results are in good agreement with the recent experimental findings. Further the compositions of the dipole-induced excitations are examined by projecting the corresponding density matrices onto the Hartree-Fock molecular orbital representation. Unlike the larger diameter carbon nanotubes whose absorption spectra are insensitive to the tube chiralities, the absorption spectra of 4 A single-walled carbon nanotubes depend very much on their chiralities. The chirality of the single-walled 4 A carbon nanotubes synthesized in the channels of the porous zeolites is thus determined to be (5,0) by comparing the calculated and measured absorption spectra.

RESUMO

The steep dose gradient around 192Ir brachytherapy wire implants is predicted by the EGS4 (PRESTA version) Monte Carlo simulation. When considering radiation absorbing regions close to the wire source, the accurate dose distribution cannot be calculated by the GE Target II Sun Sparc treatment-planning system. Experiments using GafChromic film have been performed to prove the validity of the EGS4 user code when calculating the dose close to the wire source in a low energy range.

RESUMO

Urinary incontinence is a common problem among the elderly, especially those admitted to acute care hospitals. A study investigating this problem was conduced in the geriatric wards of the Tuen Mun Hospital, Tuen Mun, from 26 October 1995 to 9 November 1995. Fifty of 139 (36%) patients had urinary incontinence with a male to female ratio of 1:15. Patients with urinary incontinence were found more often to have mobility problems and a higher institutionalisation rate than did continent patients. Dementia and cerebrovascular accident were also found to be associated with this problem. Although it is a common problem, none had been evaluated or treated before. Most of the caregivers thought that urinary incontinence was a normal ageing process and used diapers to treat this problem.

RESUMO

A Monte Carlo simulation using the PRESTA version of the EGS4 code has been employed as an investigative tool to calculate the absorbed dose in water close to 192Ir wire implants. It has been shown that a treatment planning system, such as GE Target II, using the Sievert integral and the Meisberger polynomial is only able to reproduce the Monte Carlo results at radial distance of 1 mm and farther away. The Sievert integral used with the Meisberger polynomial is proven to be in good agreement with the Monte Carlo generated data at distances between 1 mm and 1 cm.
