Free color for The Journal of Chemical Physics |
| Authors publishing in The Journal of Chemical Physics have enjoyed the use of color free of charge in the web version of the journal since 2004. Effective 1 August 2009, JCP's not-for-profit publisher-the American Institute of Physics (AIP)-will begin to fully subsidize the expense of including color in the journal's printed version also. For any paper published in the journal after 1 August 2009, color in the printed journal will be provided free of charge to authors.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS |
| Tunneling transport and spectroscopy in carbon nanotube quantum dots
David E. Logan and Martin R. Galpin
|
 |
Theoretical description of sequential tunneling transport and spectroscopy, in carbon nanotube quantum dots weakly tunnel coupled to metallic leads under a voltage bias is provided. The effects of Coulomb blockade charging, spin-orbit fine structure, and orbital- and spin-Zeeman effects arising from coupling to applied magnetic fields are considered; and the dependence of the conductance upon applied gate voltage, bias voltage, and magnetic fields is determined.

| Vibrational mode specific bond dissociation in a single molecule
J. R. Hahn and W. Ho
|
 |
Tunneling electrons from a scanning tunneling microscope were used to image and dissociate single O2-water-O complexes adsorbed on a Ag(110) surface at 13 K. The dissociation rate was measured as a function of the energy and current of the tunneling electrons. Results indicate that the rate of bond dissociation is competitive with the other energy dissipation pathways of the stretch vibration. The barrier to the dissociation of the water molecules is lowered by the formation of hydrogen bonds with oxygen species.
