The study of particle motion on spherical surfaces is relevant to adsorption on buckyballs and other solid particles. This paper reports results for the binding energy of such dimers, consisting of two light particles (He atoms or hydrogen molecules) constrained to move on a spherical surface. The binding energy reaches a particularly large value when the radius of the sphere is about 3/4 of the particles diameter.

We study the self-assembly on a spherical surface of a model for a binary mixture of amphiphilic dimers in the presence of guest particles via Monte Carlo (MC) computer simulation. All particles have a hard core, but one monomer of the dimer also int
eracts with the guest particle by means of a short-range attractive potential. We observe the formation of aggregates of various shape as a function of the composition of the mixture and of the size of guest particles. Our MC simulations are a further step towards a microscopic understanding of experiments on colloidal aggregation over curved surfaces, such as oil droplets.
We investigate the structure of a dilute mixture of amphiphilic dimers and spherical particles, a model relevant to the problem of encapsulating globular guest molecules in a dispersion. Dimers and spheres are taken to be hard particles, with an addi
tional attraction between spheres and the smaller monomers in a dimer. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we document the low-temperature formation of aggregates of guests (clusters) held together by dimers, whose typical size and shape depend on the guest concentration $chi$. For low $chi$ (less than $10%$), most guests are isolated and coated with a layer of dimers. As $chi$ progressively increases, clusters grow in size becoming more and more elongated and polydisperse; after reaching a shallow maximum for $chiapprox 50%$, the size of clusters again reduces upon increasing $chi$ further. In one case only ($chi=50%$ and moderately low temperature) the mixture relaxed to a fluid of lamellae, suggesting that in this case clusters are metastable with respect to crystal-vapor separation. On heating, clusters shrink until eventually the system becomes homogeneous on all scales. On the other hand, as the mixture is made denser and denser at low temperature, clusters get increasingly larger until a percolating network is formed.
A new method SREAG (spherical rectangular equal-area grid) is proposed to divide a spherical surface into equal-area cells. The method is based on dividing a sphere into latitudinal rings of near-constant width with further splitting each ring into e
qual-area cells. It is simple in construction and use, and provides more uniform width of the latitudinal rings than other methods of equal-area pixelization of a spherical surface. The new method provides a rectangular grid cells with the latitude- and longitude-oriented boundaries, near-square cells in the equatorial rings, and the closest to uniform width of the latitudinal rings as compared with other equal-area isolatitudinal grids. The binned data is easy to visualize and interpret in terms of the longitude-latitude rectangular coordinate system, natural for astronomy and geodesy. Grids with arbitrary number of rings and, consequently, wide and theoretically unlimited range of cell size can be built by the proposed method. Comparison with other methods used in astronomical research showed the advantages of the new approach in sense of uniformity of the ring width, a wider range of grid resolution, and simplicity of use.
The configuration of graphene (GE) sheet conforming to the spherical surface substrate is studied through theoretical model and molecular simulations. Two basic configurations are observed: fully conformation and wrinkling. The final configuration of
the adsorbed GE results from the competition between two energy terms: the adhesion energy between GE and substrate, the strain energy stored in the GE due to the deformations. Here, we derive theoretical solutions by accounting for two energy terms, and predict the final morphology of GE on the spherical surface (a special kind of nano-developable curved surface) substrate with using the phase diagram. A critical cone angle of the absorbed GE for an arbitrary spherical surface substrate is obtained. Fully conformation of GE is observed when the cone angle of absorbed GE is below the critical value, otherwise wrinkles appear. Molecular simulations are implemented to verify the theoretical model with results agree well with theoretical predictions. Results from our present work can offer a guide for designing new functional graphene electronical devices (such as nanoswithes) and fabricating high quality nanostructured coating (Fig. 13).
A bound state between a quantum emitter (QE) and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can be formed, where the QE is partially stabilized in its excited state. We put forward a general approach for calculating the energy level shift at a negative freque
ncy $omega$, which is just the negative of the nonresonant part for the energy level shift at positive frequency $-omega$. We also propose an efficient formalism for obtaining the long-time value of the excited-state population without calculating the eigenfrequency of the bound state or performing a time evolution of the system, in which the probability amplitude for the excited state in the steady limit is equal to one minus the integral of the evolution spectrum over the positive frequency range. With the above two quantities obtained, we show that the non-Markovian decay dynamics in the presence of a bound state can be obtained by the method based on the Greens function expression for the evolution operator. A general criterion for identifying the existence of a bound state is presented. These are numerically demonstrated for a QE located around a nanosphere and in a gap plasmonic nanocavity. These findings are instructive in the fields of coherent light-matter interactions.
