Classifying interactions is key in the physical sciences, and bonding mechanisms in matter-antimatter systems remain particularly enigmatic. Here we focus on a paradigmatic example of positronium hydride (PsH) dimer composed of two protons,…
Transition-metal atoms with d electrons sometimes form clusters in crystals, which significantly affects the physical properties. Such a cluster formation frequently accompanies a change in the crystal system, leading to the presence of…
The $(p,d,\bar{p},\bar{d})$ molecule, with a proton, a deuteron and their antiparticles, is stable againt spontaneous dissociation, but none of its three-body subsystems are stable. This molecule should be built by combining two atoms, for…
Motivated by the idea that intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) condense into liquid-like droplets within cells, we carry out Monte Carlo simulations of a polymer lattice model to study the relationship between charge patterning and…
RNA molecules in living cells form what look like liquid droplets formed by liquid/liquid phase separation. But unlike the molecules in conventional phase separating mixtures, RNA molecules are transported by molecular motors that consume…
We report on studies of collisions between 3 keV Ar$^+$ projectile ions and neutral targets of isolated 1,3-butadiene (C$_4$H$_6$) molecules and cold, loosely bound clusters of these molecules. We identify molecular growth processes within…
The phenomenon of Euclidean resonance (a strong enhancement of quantum tunneling through a nonstationary potential barrier) is applied to disintegration of atoms and molecules through tunnel barriers formed by applied constant and…
Bilayer crystals, formed by stacking monolayers of two-dimensional (2D) crystals, create interlayer potentials that govern excitonic phenomena but are constrained by their fixed covalent lattices. Replacing one layer with an atomically thin…
The ability of metal adsorption to transfer charge to the surface of single molecular carbon sheets is explored in this paper. Though other metals are considered we basically will deal with Lithium We concentrate on fairly small sheets and…
We derive an explicit expression for the quantum conductivity of a molecular wire containing a redox center, which is embedded in an electrochemical environment. The redox center interacts with the solvent, and the average over the solvent…

We explore the quantum dynamics of heteronuclear atomic collisions in waveguides and demonstrate the existence of a novel mechanism for the resonant formation of polar molecules. The molecular formation probabilities can be tuned by…
The crystallization of electrons in quasi low-dimensional solids is studied in a model which retains the full three-dimensional nature of the Coulomb interactions. We show that restricting the electron motion to layers (or chains) gives…
Light chemical elements are, for instance, produced through ion collisions taking place in the core of stars, where fusion is particularly important to the synthesis of chemical elements. Meanwhile soliton provides non-interacting…
A mechanism of disappearance and formation of the Efimov levels of the helium ^4He_3 trimer is studied when the force of interatomic interaction is changed. The resonances including virtual levels are calculated by the method based on the…
As a prototypical self-organization in the system with orbital degeneracy, we theoretically investigate trimer formation on a triangular lattice, as observed in LiVO2. From the analysis of an effective spin-orbital coupled model in the…
Droplets on fibers have been extensively studied in the recent years. Although the equilibrium shapes of simple droplets on fibers are well established, the situation becomes more complex for compound fluidic systems. Through experimental…
Vitrimers are polymer networks that can undergo bond exchange reactions. They dynamically rearrange their structures while maintaining their overall integrity, thus resulting in unique properties such as self-healing, reprocessability,…
Ruthenium(II) polypyridine compounds often have a relatively long lived triplet metalligand charge transfer (3MLCT) state, making these complexes useful as chromophores for photoactivated electron transfer in photomolecular devices (PMDs).…
