Hi 

<span>Explicit- and implicit-solvent molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study complexation in two polyelectrolyte systems: poly(styrene sulfonate)/poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PSS/PAH) and poly(acrylic acid)/poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAA/PAH). Both these systems have been used in layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolyte films, with the first of these typically yielding linear growth in film thickness with increasing numbers of layers and the second yielding exponential growth. In both the systems, the polyelectrolytes have the same number of monomers and are present in stoichiometric proportion, and water is used as solvent. Simulations give important insights into the structure and composition of the complexes. We found that the PSS/PAH complex is more compact and has a smaller fraction of water than the PAA/PAH complex due to the presence of phenyl rings in the PSS chain and the hydrophilic nature of the charged group in the PAA chain. Either an increase in salt concentration or a decrease in partial charge fraction increases swelling and the water content in the complex. To overcome the computational limitations associated with the explicit-solvent simulation, a simple strategy to develop the force field for an implicit-solvent simulation is proposed. In the absence of salt and for fully charged polyelectrolytes, the radius-of-gyration and the various radial distribution functions predicted by the implicit-solvent simulation match well with those predicted by the explicit-solvent simulation, while reasonable agreement is obtained in the other cases. The implicit-solvent simulation was performed for bigger system sizes, and we observed trends similar to those observed for smaller system sizes, suggesting that the simulation results are independent of system size.

What is the volume of this bubble when it reaches the surface?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Volume will be 15 mL. Solution:- If we look at the given information then it is Boyle's law as the temperature is constant and the volume changes inversely as the pressure changes. So, the volume of the air bubble at the surface will be 15 mL.

Consider an optical cavity of length 40 cm. Assume the refractive index is 1, and use the formula for Icavity vs wavelength to p
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Diode Lasers  

Consider a InGaAsP-InP laser diode which has an optical cavity of length 250  

microns. The peak radiation is at 1550 nm and the refractive index of InGaAsP is  

4. The optical gain bandwidth (as measured between half intensity points) will  

normally depend on the pumping current (diode current) but for this problem  

assume that it is 2 nm.  

(a) What is the mode integer m of the peak radiation?  

(b) What is the separation between the modes of the cavity? Please express your  

answer as Δλ.  

(c) How many modes are within the gain band of the laser?  

(d) What is the reflection coefficient and reflectance at the ends of the optical  

cavity (faces of the InGaAsP crystal)?  

(e) The beam divergence full angles are 20° in y-direction and 5° in x-direction  

respectively. Estimate the x and y dimensions of the laser cavity. (Assume the  

beam is a Gaussian beam with the waist located at the output. And the beam  

waist size is approximately the x-y dimensions of the cavity.)  

Solution:  

(a) The wavelength λ of a cavity mode and length L are related by  

n

mL

λ = , where m is the mode number, and n is the refractive index.  

So the mode integer of the peak radiation is

(c) Since the optical gain bandwidth is 2nm and the mode spacing is 1.2nm, the  

bandwidth could fit in two possible modes.

What force is needed to move a barrel 45-m if 3600 J of work are accomplished?​
lesantik [10]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 80 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on the object can be found by using the formula

f =  \frac{w}{d}  \\

where

d is the distance

w is the work done

We have

f =  \frac{3600}{45}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>80 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
