Effects of Hyporheic Exchange and Settlement on the Particle Size Distribution of Colloids

David Andrew Barry, Qihao Jiang

Colloid particle size plays an important role in contaminant adsorption and clogging in the hyporheic zone, but it remains unclear how the particle size changes during the transport of colloids. This study investigated the variation of the particle size of ...

The role of dispersion forces on the atomic structure of glassy chalcogenides: The case of GeSe4 and GeS4

Assil Bouzid

Recent first-principles molecular dynamics simulations (FPMD) results on two chalcogenide glasses (glassy GeS4 and GeSe4) are revisited by accounting explicitly for van der Waals (vdW) dispersion forces. This effort is motivated by the observation that suc ...
