      The bending process of 2D materials, subject to an external force, is investigated, and applied to graphene, molybdenum disulphide (MoS2), and imogolite. For graphene we obtained 3.43 eV angstrom(2) per atom for the bending ...
    • Carrasco, Sebastián; Rogan Castillo, José; Valdivia Hepp, Juan (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
      The problem of controlling the quantum state of a system is investigated using a time varying potential. As a concrete example we study the problem of a particle in a box with a periodically oscillating infinite square-well ...
    • Ramírez González, Max; Rogan Castillo, José; Valdivia Hepp, Juan; Varas, Alejandro; Kiwi Tichauer, Miguel (Walter de Gruyter, 2016)
      We characterize, by means of the definition of a generalized distance, the differences and similarities between binary nanoclusters. To define analytically, and to compute numerically this distance, we have generalized an ...

      We studied the soft landing of Ni atoms on a previously damaged graphene sheet by means of molecular dynamics simulations. We found a monotonic decrease of the cluster frequency as a function of its size, but few big ...
    • Díaz Rodríguez, Pablo; Muñoz Sáez, Francisco; Rogan Castillo, José; Martin Bragado, Ignacio; Perlado, J. M.; Peña Rodríguez, Ovidio; Rivera, Antonio; Valencia, Felipe (IOP, 2020)
      Plasma-facing materials (PFMs) for nuclear fusion, either in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) or in magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) approaches, must withstand extremely hostile irradiation conditions. Mitigation strategies ...
    • Valencia, Felipe; González, Rafael I.; Tramontina, Diego; Rogan Castillo, José; Valdivia Hepp, Juan; Kiwi Tichauer, Miguel; Bringa, Eduardo (American Chemical Society, 2016-10-20)
      The potential and properties of palladium hollow nano particles (hNPs) as a possible H storage material are explored by means of classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. First, we study the stability of pure Pd hNPs ...
    • González, Rafael I.; Rojas Núñez, Javier; Valencia, Felipe; Muñoz Sáez, Francisco; Baltazar, Samuel; Allende, Sebastián; Rogan Castillo, José; Valdivia Hepp, Juan; Kiwi Tichauer, Miguel; Ramírez, Ricardo; Greathouse, Jeffery A. (Elsevier, 2020)
      Imogolite is a fascinating inorganic nanotube that is found in nature or synthesized in a laboratory. The synthesis process is carried out in liquid media, and leads to the formation of almost monodisperse diameter nanotubes. ...
    • Valencia, Felipe J.; González, Rafael I.; Valdivia Hepp, Juan; Kiwi Tichauer, Miguel; Bringa, Eduardo M.; Rogan Castillo, José (American Chemical Society, 2017)
      The large surface-to-volume ratio of hollow palladium nanoparticles (hNPs) offers room to improve their hydrogen storage capacity as well as their catalytic activity. However, a less explored possibility is to use, in ...
    • Valdivia Hepp, Juan; Toledo Cabrera, Benjamín; Gallo, N.; Muñoz Gálvez, Víctor; Rogan Castillo, José; Stepanova, M.; Moya Fuentes, Pablo; Navarro, R. E.; Viñas, A. F.; Araneda, J.; López, R. A.; Díaz, M. (Elsevier, 2016)
      The observations in the solar wind, which are usually organized in a beta-anisotropy diagram, seem to be constrained by linear instability thresholds. Unexpectedly, under these quasi-stable conditions, there is a finite ...
    • González, Rafael I.; Rogan Castillo, José; Bringa, Eduardo; Valdivia Hepp, Juan (American Chemical Society, 2016)
      The mechanical response of aluminosilicate nano tubes (imogolite) under compression is investigated by means of classical molecular dynamics simulations using the CLAYFF potential. Using the uncompressed length L-0, when ...
