Temperature plays a significant role in determining the dynamics of flow on the nanoscale. This is particularly important with carbon nanotubes, which are likely to form an integral part of future nanofluidic and biological devices. We demonstrate through first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) that the orientation of the individual water molecules plays a significant role in determining the temperatures and energies at which water is able to enter the nanotube. This has a number of implications for the flow of water through the nanotube at different temperatures and densities, particularly when considering low-density water vapour.

Temperature plays a significant role in determining the dynamics of flow on the nanoscale. This is particularly important with carbon nanotubes, which are likely to form an integral part of future nanofluidic and biological devices. We demonstrate through first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) that the energies and temperatures at which individual water molecules are able to enter the nanotube depends very strongly on their orientation. This has a number of implications for the flow of water through the nanotube at different temperatures and densities, particularly when considering low-density water vapour.

Adsorption Of Water

We present the results from first principle calculations of H2O adsorption on oxygen-covered Fe (100) surface. The calculations are based on a density-functional theory, surface modeling which uses supercell slab models. As a surface oxygen coverage increases, the surface is not activated, which makes the adsorption of water molecules on Fe surface unfavorable. It has been found that the surface covered oxygen exerts an influence on the adsorption of H2O molecule on Fe surface.

In the previous chapters we described the basic principles of density functional theory, gave examples of how accurate it is to describe static magnetic properties in general, and derived from this basis the master equation for atomistic spin-dynamics; the SLL (or SLLG) equation. However, one term was not described in these chapters, namely the damping parameter. This parameter is a crucial one in the SLL (or SLLG) equation, since it allows for energy and angular momentum to dissipate from the simulation cell. The damping parameter can be evaluated from density functional theory, and the Kohn-Sham equation, and it is possible to determine its value experimentally. This chapter covers in detail the theoretical aspects of how to calculate theoretically the damping parameter. Chapter 8 is focused, among other things, on the experimental detection of the damping, using ferromagnetic resonance.
