Mnsub.2 Dimers Encapsulated in Silicon Cages: A Complex Challenge to MC-SCF Theory
MC-SCF wavefunctions for three endohedral Mn/Si clusters, Mn[sub.2]Si[sub.10], Mn[sub.2]Si[sub.12], and [Mn[sub.2]Si[sub.13]][sup.+], show evidence for strong static correlation, both in the Mn-Si bonds (‘in–out correlation’) and between the two Mn centers (‘up–down correlation’). We use both Restricted and Generalized Active Spaces (RAS and GAS) to place constraints on the configurations included in the trial wavefunction, showing that, particularly in the high-symmetry cases, the GAS approach captures more of the static correlation. The important correlating pairs are similar across the series, indicating that the electronic structure of the endohedral Mn[sub.2] unit is, to a first approximation, independent of the size of the silicon cage in which it is embedded.

Single-electron devices and circuits in silicon
\"This book reviews research on single-electron devices and circuits in silicon. These devices provide a means to control electronic charge at the one-electron level and are promising systems for the development of few-electron, nanoscale electronic circuits. The book considers the design, fabrication, and characterization of single-electron transistors, single-electron memories, few-electron transfer devices such as electron pumps and turnstiles, and single-electron logic devices. A review of the many different approaches used for the experimental realisation of these devices is provided and devices developed during the author's own research are used as detailed examples. An introduction to the physics of single-electron charging effects is included.\"--Jacket.

Prediction of Wetting Behaviours of Femtosecond Laser Texturized Surfaces
It is well known that surface topography modification can be used to tune and control the surface wettability, and femtosecond laser ablation can be applied to modify a surface's topography with ultimate precision. However, it is not so well known how to predict the surface wettability based on the surface topography produced by femtosecond laser pulses. In this communication, a simulation tool based on previously developed Level Set Method (LSM) model is developed on the commercial multiphysics software platform, COMSOL, to evaluate the wettability of polished and ultrafast laser-patterned silicon and germanium surfaces. We demonstrate its capacity for simulation of the liquid droplet evolution on various topographies of laser-textured surface. The calculations suggest that to achieve more hydrophobic behavior on laser-textured silicon and germanium, more attention should be paid to the height of the relief, and caution should be exercised when varying the period of the relief during femtosecond laser processing. Keywords: wettability, femtosecond laser, contact angle, silicon, germanium, micro-roughness, roughness factor, hydrophobic, superhydrophobic.
