Abstract:
In this paper, first principles calculations are used to investigate atomic structure and mechanical properties of germanene nanosheet. By applying uniaxial and biaxial tensile strains as well as shear strain, the tensile and shear properties of the germanene nanosheet, including Young's and bulk moduli, Poisson's ratio, and shear moduli are computed. Furthermore, the parameters of the modified Morse potential function are calculated for Ge-Ge interaction in the germanene nanosheet. Also, the mechanical behavior of germanene nanosheet is studied under tensile loading at large strains extended to the plastic range. Based on the simulations, Young's modulus of the armchair and zigzag germanene nanosheet are computed as 52.8 and 49.9N/m, respectively. Besides, the values of Poisson's ratio of the armchair and zigzag germanene nanosheet are obtained as 0.35 and 0.29, respectively.

π Molecular Orbitals of 1,3-Butadiene
The simplest conjugated diene is 1,3-butadiene: a four-carbon system where each carbon is sp2-hybridized and has an unhybridized p orbital that contains an unpaired electron. According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals such that the number...

The ring is divided into infinitesimal small arcs such that point M is equidistant from all the arcs. Here, the cylindrical coordinate system is used to calculate the electric potential at point M. A general element of the arc between angles θ and θ + dθ is of the length Rdθ and has a charge of...
The Nernst Equation
The interconnection between standard cell potentials and various thermodynamic parameters such as the standard free energy change ΔG° and equilibrium constant K has been previously explored. For example, a redox reaction involving zinc(II) and tin(II) ions at 1 M concentration with Eºcell = +0.291 V and ΔG° = −56.2 kJ is spontaneous.
