Calculation of images of oriented C_60 molecules using molecular orbital theory (2010)
Journal Article
Hands, I. D., Dunn, J. L., & Bates, C. A. (2010). Calculation of images of oriented C_60 molecules using molecular orbital theory. Physical Review B, 81(20), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.81.205440

Using Hückel molecular-orbital theory, images are created to represent the electron distributions expected
for a C60 molecule adsorbed on a substrate. Three different orientations of the C60 molecule on the substrate are
considered. The effect of t... Read More about Calculation of images of oriented C_60 molecules using molecular orbital theory.

Convergent adaptive finite element methods for photonic crystal applications (2010)
Journal Article
Giani, S. Convergent adaptive finite element methods for photonic crystal applications. Manuscript submitted for publication

We prove the convergence of an adaptive finite element method for computing the band structure of 2D
periodic photonic crystals with or without compact defects in both the TM and TE polarization cases. These
eigenvalue problems involve non-coerci... Read More about Convergent adaptive finite element methods for photonic crystal applications.

Although there are various types of cancer treatments, none of these currently take into account the e®ect of ageing of the immune system and hence altered responses to cancer. Recent studies have shown that in vitro stimulation of T cells can help i... Read More about Defining a simulation strategy for cancer immunocompetence.
