The structure of a polystyrene matrix filled with tightly cross-linked polystyrene nanoparticles, forming an athermal nanocomposite system, is investigated by means of a Monte Carlo sampling formalism. The polymer chains are represented as…
Embedded clusters, which are embedded in bulk materials and different from the surroundings in structures, should be common in materials. This paper studies resonance of such clusters. This work is stimulated by a recent experimental…
Metal clusters are partway between molecular and bulk systems and thus exhibit special physical and chemical properties. Atoms can rearrange within a cluster to form different structural isomers. Internal degrees of freedom and the…
In this work we present the development of small angle scattering components in McStas that describe the neutron interaction with 70 different form and structure factors. We describe the considerations taken into account for the generation…
A consistent theory, which describes the incoherent scattering of classically moving relativistic particles by the nuclei of crystal planes without any phenomenological parameter is presented. The basic notions of quantum mechanics are…
