The tetragonal distortions [characterized by the displacement DeltaR of the F(-) ion intervening in Cr(3+) and V(B) (B(2+) vacancy) or M(+) ion in B(2+) site] for Cr(3+)-V(B) and Cr(3+)-Li(+) centers in Cr(3+)-doped fluoroperovskites KBF(3) (B=Mg, Zn) and ACdF(3) (A=K, Rb, Cs) and also for Cr(3+)-Na(+) center in KZnF(3) have been studied by calculating the EPR parameters D, g(parallel) and g(perpendicular) from the crystal-field theory. From the studies, an interesting trend is suggested, i.e., when the size of the co-doped monovalent impurity M(+) in the nearest neighbor B(2+) site is comparable to that of the replaced B(2+) ion, the displacement DeltaR of the intervening F(-) ion in Cr(3+)-M(+) center is smaller than that in Cr(3+)-V(B) center and if the M(+) iron is much smaller or much larger than that of the replaced B(2+) ion, the displacement DeltaR in Cr(3+)-M(+) center is greater than that in Cr(3+)-V(B) center. The causes of the trend are discussed.

Description of changes in chemical bonding along the pathways of chemical reactions by deformation of the molecular electrostatic potential.
J Mol Model
January 2025
Department of Theoretical Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, Jagiellonian University, Gronostajowa 2, 30-387, Krakow, Poland.
Context: The analysis of the changes in the electronic structure along intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) paths for model reactions: (i) ethylene + butadiene cycloaddition, (ii) prototype SN2 reaction Cl + CH3Cl, (iii) HCN/CNH isomerization assisted by water, (iv) CO + HF → C(O)HF was performed, in terms of changes in the deformation density (Δr) and the deformation of MEP (ΔMEP). The main goal was to further examine the utility of the ΔMEP as a descriptor of chemical bonding, and to compare the pictures resulting from Δr and ΔMEP. Both approaches clearly show that the main changes in the electronic structure occur in the TS region.

Article Synopsis
- Van der Waals heterostructures allow for the customization of electronic properties by combining two-dimensional materials, particularly bilayer graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs).
- The study confirms two types of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in bilayer graphene when in contact with molybdenum disulfide: Ising and Rashba coupling, with respective energy values of 1.55 meV and 2.5 meV.
- Observations include a unique pattern in conductivity as the electric displacement field changes, attributed to Ising SOC-induced gaps, and noticeable spikes in magnetoconductivity that challenge current theoretical understandings.
Structural transitions of a semi-flexible polyampholyte.
J Chem Phys
September 2024
Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal 462066, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Article Synopsis
- Polyampholytes (PAs) are unique charged polymers with both positive and negative charges that affect their structure and dynamics.
- Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations reveal that flexible PAs can transition between coil and globule shapes depending on the sequence of charges, with their movement characteristics differing based on charge arrangement.
- For semi-flexible PAs, changes in bending rigidity and electrostatic interactions lead to various shapes, such as globules and toruses, with transitions between these conformations measurable through specific shape factors.
Investigations on the EPR g factors and local structures for the orthorhombic and tetragonal Cu centers in Pb[ZrTi]O.
Magn Reson Chem

Jiangxi Province Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Information Science and Technology, Nanchang Hangkong University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China.
The defect models of the orthorhombical and tetragonal Cu centers in Pb[ZrTi]O are attributed to Cu ions occupying the sixfold coordinated octahedral Ti site with and without charge compensation, respectively. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g factors g (i = x, y, z) of the Cu centers in Pb[ZrTi]O are theoretically studied by using the perturbation formulas of a 3d ion under orthorhombically and tetragonally elongated octahedra. Based on the calculation, the impurity off-center displacements are about 0.

Statement Of Problem: Axial displacement is inevitable when connecting scan bodies to implants for digital scans using intraoral scanners, and axial displacement may reduce implant position accuracy in digital casts. However, studies assessing scan body type and accuracy are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the linear and angular displacements of implants in digital casts using 2 scan body types with or without a vertical stop to minimize the axial displacement and 2 internal conical connection implants (ICCIs) with different internal conical angles.
