  • Computational Modelling Approaches to Energy Storage Materials

    Operating Mechanisms, State-of-the-Art Methods, and Applications to the Atomistic Modelling of Batteries and Capacitors
    • 1st Edition
    • Daniele Fazzi + 1 more
    • English
    One of the most important goals in sustainable energy management is the design of new energy storage materials capable of increasing battery performance, durability, and at the same time, taking up the global challenge of increasing the energy saving capabilities through sustainable solutions. Atomistic design has experienced a tremendous boost in the last two decades thanks to the implementation and application of quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics-based approaches coupled, very recently, to artificial intelligent/machine learning algorithms. Such methods pave the way for the discovery and design of new materials for energy storage technologies. Computational Modelling Approaches to Energy Storage Materials: Operating Mechanisms, State-of-the-Art Methods, and Applications to the Atomistic Modelling of Batteries and Capacitors demonstrates how theoretical and computational chemistry methods can be applied in describing and predicting the properties of energy storage materials. Part I of the book introduces the reader to this heterogeneous topic, providing a general overview of the different types of batteries and capacitors, highlighting (from both historical and mechanistic points of view) the physical and operating principles of such systems. Part II contains the methodological core of the book, in terms of theoretical and computational methods. Most existing books includes a similar section where the formalisms of different methods are given, such as by explaining the theoretical concepts. Although this approach is certainly valid, this book goes a step further by giving more relevance to the computational side. Part III concerns the application of the methods described in Part II (as standalones or as a combination of those methods) to study mechanisms, processes, properties, and working principles of several energy storage systems, all based on the initial description in Part I. Computational Modelling Approaches to Energy Storage Materials is written primarily for chemists, physicists and materials scientists at graduate, post-doc, and researcher level (with both theory and experimental background), wishing to apply computational methods to model the complexity of energy storage materials. The book will be highly relevant to researchers interested in applying different atomistic methods to the topic of energy materials, as well as specialists across the fields of physics, chemistry, materials science, and related engineering areas who require a better understanding of materials modelling.

    • English
    Sensitivity of Energetic Materials: Prediction and Measurement of Shock, Impact, Friction, and Spark Sensitivity provides an in-depth exploration of the sensitivity of energetic materials, including how compounds such as explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics respond to various external stimuli (sparks, shocks, impacts, and friction). Starting from foundational principles, the book systematically builds toward advanced experimental techniques and state-of-the-art computational models that predict material sensitivity and behavior. Key themes include the underlying science of sensitivity, experimental protocols, computational and machine learning models, and real-world case studies that address both established and emerging materials (including nitramines, polynitro arenes, and ionic liquids).The book’s structure encompasses theoretical background, measurement techniques, predictive modeling, and practical applications. Its target audience includes academic researchers, postgraduate students, and industry professionals in chemistry, materials science, engineering, defense, aerospace, mining, and industrial safety. By bridging theory and practice, and addressing inconsistencies in testing and data management, the book fills a critical gap in safety and innovation.

  • Unveiling the Atom and Its Nucleus

    Discoveries, Insights, and Understanding
    • 1st Edition

    • English
    Unveiling the Atom and Its Nucleus: Discoveries, Insights, and Understanding explores how chemists and physicists have used scientific principles and experimentation to unveil the structure of the atom, factors governing nuclear stability and decay, modes of nuclear decay, and how the components of the atom interrelate to govern nuclear stability or predict its instability. Examples are featured, showing how discoveries (some considered insignificant at the time) have led to remarkable findings and resulted in our knowledge of the concepts and properties of the atom, such as Oliphant’s discovery of nuclear fusion, Bethe’s energy production in stars, and consequent current fusion energy development.The book also describes a dichotomy in the application of atomic energy that includes current advances in vital applications such as nuclear medicine and nuclear energy upon which we depend dearly and the current proliferation of nuclear weapons that threaten our continued existence.

  • Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 119
    • English
    Magnetic resonance now has a history exceeding 70 years. Not only has the range of applications of magnetic resonance-based techniques grown exponentially but so too has the literature. Consequently, a distillation and synthesis of the literature is in itself an extremely important research tool, providing an efficient means to take newcomers to the research frontiers and keeping experienced researchers aware of contemporary practice.Since 1968 Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy been at the vanguard of reviewing the magnetic resonance literature. Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy covers magnetic resonance in all its forms, including theory, experiment, applications, and interconnections with other techniques. It also provides the opportunity to make coherent aspects of magnetic resonance that were scattered and opaque. Historical articles are also welcomed.Potential authors are encouraged to consult with the Editor.William S. PriceWestern Sydney University, NSW, Australiae-mail address: w.price@westernsydne...
