Abstract In this paper, by defining a new physical quantity called as the frequency offset in the harmonic oscillator model and combining with the established plasmon coupling model, we successfully explain the anti-crossing property caused by plasmon coupling of dimer composed of a silver nanoring and a silver nanorod. In the plasmons coupling model, we reasonably reveal that the physical mechanism of the coupling between bright mode and dark mode of the plasmons is mainly represented by the coulomb potential and the electrostatic potential. With this model, we explain also the asymmetric feature the variation of frequency offset and coupling coefficient with coupling distance.

The decomposition of GeH 4 on Si (100)(2×1) was investigated on different adsorption models of fragments using density functional theory method. The most probable adsorption model of fragments corresponding to the growth steps of SiGe film has been obtained by geometry optimization and single value total energy calculations. The relative adsorption energies of GeH 3, GeH 2 and GeH have been found to be -5.6, -5.1, and -4.5 eV for their most probable adsorption models respectively. It has been found that, the asymmetric dimer bond rows of Ge on Si (100) surface can be constructed by following the adsorption models corresponding to the relative adsorption energies of GeH 3, GeH 2 and GeH .

The effect of the bridging diamine upon the aggregation properties of a ZnII Schiff-base complex is reported. The X-ray crystal structure indicates the presence of an asymmetric dimer which is preserved even in solution.

Spider silk is a biomaterial with exceptional mechanical toughness, and there is great interest in developing biomimetic methods to produce engineered spider silk-based materials. However, the mechanisms that regulate the conversion of spider silk proteins (spidroins) from highly soluble dope into silk are not completely understood. The N-terminal domain (NT) of Euprosthenops australis dragline silk protein undergoes conformational and quaternary-structure changes from a monomer at a pH above 7 to a homodimer at lower pH values. Conversion from the monomer to the dimer requires the protonation of three conserved glutamic acid residues, resulting in a low-pH `locked' dimer stabilized by symmetric electrostatic interactions at the poles of the dimer. The detailed molecular events during this transition are still unresolved. Here, a 2.1 Å resolution crystal structure of an NT T61A mutant in an alternative, asymmetric, dimer form in which the electrostatic interactions at one of the poles are dramatically different from those in symmetrical dimers is presented. A similar asymmetric dimer structure from dragline silk of Nephila clavipes has previously been described. It is suggested that asymmetric dimers represent a conserved intermediate state in spider silk formation, and a revised `lock-and-trigger' mechanism for spider silk formation is presented.
