AbstractThe modeling of atomistic processes in semiconductors based on the density functional theory is outlined. The role of intrinsic defects in the self and dopant diffusion, as well as in the dopant activation is investigated for the case of silicon carbide. A hierarchy of annealing mechanisms for vacancies and interstitials is proposed. The identification of the microscopic origin of experimental defect centers by calculated defect signatures establishes a link between theoretical modeling and experiments.

AbstractCatechin – a natural polyphenol substance – has excellent antioxidant properties for the treatment of diseases, especially for cholesterol lowering. Catechin can reduce cholesterol content in micelles by forming insoluble precipitation with cholesterol, thereby reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine. In this study, to better understand the molecular mechanism of catechin and cholesterol, we studied the interaction between typical catechins and cholesterol by the density functional theory. Results show that the adsorption energies between the four catechins and cholesterol are obviously stronger than that of cholesterol themselves, indicating that catechin has an advantage in reducing cholesterol micelle formation. Moreover, it is found that the molecular interactions of the complexes are mainly due to charge transfer of the aromatic rings of the catechins as well as the hydrogen bond interactions. Unlike the intuitive understanding of a complex formed by hydrogen bond interaction, which is positively correlated with the number of hydrogen bonds, the most stable complexes (epicatechin–cholesterol or epigallocatechin–cholesterol) have only one but stronger hydrogen bond, due to charge transfer of the aromatic rings of catechins.

Reduction of CCl4 by CrCl2 in THF afforded a trinuclear chromium(III) carbyne [CrCl(thf)2)]3(μ3-CCl)(μ-Cl)3. The chlorocarbyne complex reacted with aldehydes to afford chloroallylic alcohols and terminal alkynes. The density functional theory...
