Physics Faculty Publications

Atoms remaining as recognizably distinct constituents of bulk condensed phases can have properties modified from those of the isolated species. Dense helium bubbles at high pressures are a common form of radiation damage degrading the mechanical and electrical properties of host materials. Detailed knowledge is critical for predicting their long term performance. Modifications of the ground and first singlet excited states of confined compressed helium are investigated using an entirely non-empirical theory based on the results of ab initio self-consistent field calculations with corrections for the effects of electron correlation. For finite sized portions representing bulk condensed fcc and bcc …

Identification Of New Pathways For Co Oxidation On Rh(111) & Spatial And Structural Control Of O-Induced Reconstruction Of Ag(111), Marie Turano

Dissertations

Understanding the fundamentals of oxygen surface structures under a variety of conditions is pivotal to determining reactivity of heterogeneous catalysis. Exposure of catalytically active metal surfaces to high oxygen coverages results in a myriad of surface structures. A further complication is the formation of subsurface oxygen (Osub) or oxygen present in the near subsurface region of the metal. It is known to form in transition metals yet the absorption of oxygen and resultant formation of Osub is not equivalent across all catalytically relevant metals. As a result, it is difficult to predict the stability and efficacy of the formation of …

Development Of Small Molecule Inhibitors Of Therapeutic Target Enzymes: Paths To Discover Novel Antimicrobials, Thahani Shifna Habeeb Mohammad Jan 2021

Development Of Small Molecule Inhibitors Of Therapeutic Target Enzymes: Paths To Discover Novel Antimicrobials, Thahani Shifna Habeeb Mohammad

Dissertations

The rising antimicrobial resistance to antibiotics is a major global problem, which has been exacerbated by the inappropriate use of antibiotics. The effectiveness of frequently prescribed penicillin derivatives and β-lactamase inhibitors are compromised by the evolution of bacterial β-lactamases and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Consequently, design and synthesis of small-molecule inhibitors of identified novel antibiotic targets is an urgent unmet medical need. We previously demonstrated that N-functionalized α-aminocyclobutanones can act as peptidomimetic enzyme inhibitors, including inhibition of a key esterase in Francisella Tularensis. The carbonyl of a cyclobutanone is electrophilic due to ring strain, therefore cyclobutanone derivatives can serve as transition state …

Synthesis And Application Of Polymeric Micelles Assembled From Pentafluorophenyl Ester-Containing Amphiphilic Block Copolymers, Panittha Damsongsang

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Functionalizable pentafluorophenyl ester (PFP)-based polymer precursors, namely poly(pentafluorophenyl acrylate) (PPFPA) and poly(pentafluorophenyl metharylate) (PPFPMA), and zwitterionic poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC) are the two polymers having extremely different solubility. It is therefore almost impossible to synthesize their block copolymers in a controlled manner by the conventional approach. Herein, we demonstrated, for the first time, that the synthesis and in situ formation of nanoassemblies of their diblock copolymer can be done via polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) using reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization. PMPC was synthesized as the first block and further employed as a macro chain transfer agent (PMPC Macro-CTA) for the synthesis …
