Experimental data show that gemini surfactants have critical micelle concentrations that are almost tenfold lower than the CMCs of single chain ones. It is believed that the spacer groups play an important role in this subject. Short hydrophilic or long hydrophobic spacers can reduce CMC dramatically. In this paper, self-assembling processes of double-chain and one-chain surfactants with the same head to tail ratio are compared. Dimeric chain structure is exactly double of single chain. In other words, hydrophilic-lyophilic balances of two chain models are the same. Two single chains are connected head-to-head to form a dimeric chain, without introducing extra head or tail beads as a spacer group. Premicellar, micellar, and shape/phase transition ranges of both models are investigated. To do this, lattice Monte Carlo simulation in canonical ensemble has been used. Results show that without introducing extra beads as spacer group, the CMC of (H3T3)2as a dimeric surfactant is much lower than the CMC of its similar single chain, H3T3. For dimeric case of study, it is shown that bolaform aggregates are formed.

ABSTRACTThe Monte Carlo technique was used to calculate the phase diagram of the fee superstructures in the Pd-V system using up to fourth nearest neighbor, concentration independent, pair and multiplet interactions. The interactions were computed by the method of Direct Configurational Averaging using a Linearized Muffin-Tin Orbital Hamiltonian cast into the tight binding form. The phase diagram was computed with a fast Monte Carlo simulation technique using environment sampling. The two fee ground states in experimental diagram are predicted to be stable. The computed transition temperatures are higher than those found experimentally.

AbstractWe present microscopic calculations of the cohesive energy of amorphous metallic alloys. Our method is based on a tight-binding and Monte Carlo simulation approaches to calculate the equilibrium atomic structure. The same model tight-binding Hamiltonian is then used to calculate electronic structure and energy using a Bethe-Cluster approximation.
