Ab initio prediction of Boron compounds arising from Borozene: Structural and electronic properties (2009)

Forte, G., La Magna, A., Deretzis, I., Pucci, R.

Structure and electronic properties of two unusual boron clusters obtained by fusion of borozene rings has been studied by means of first principles calculations, based on the generalized-gradient...

A multiscale study of electronic structure and quantum transport in $C_{6n^n}H_{6n}$-based graphene quantum dots (2009)

Deretzis, I., Forte, G., Grassi, A., La Magna, A., Piccitto, G., Pucci, R.

We implement a bottom-up multiscale approach for the modeling of defect localization in $C_{6n^n}H_{6n}$ islands, i.e. graphene quantum dots with a hexagonal symmetry, by means of density functional...

Modeling vacancies and hydrogen impurities in graphene: A molecular point of view (2008)

Forte, G., Grassi, A., Lombardo, G. M., La Magna, A., Angilella, G. G. N., Pucci, R., ...

We have followed a "molecular" approach to study impurity effects in graphene. This is thought as the limiting case of an infinitely large cluster of benzene rings. Therefore, we study several carbon...

Molecules in clusters: the case of planar LiBeBCNOF built from a triangular form LiOB and a linear four-center species FBeCN (2008)

Forte, G., Grassi, A., Lombardo, G. M., Angilella, G. G. N., March, N. H., Pucci, R.

Krueger some years ago proposed a cluster LiBeBCNOF, now called periodane. His ground-state isomer proposal has recently been refined by Bera et al. using DFT. Here, we take the approach of molecules...

Equilibrium molecular energies used to obtain molecular dissociation energies and heats of formation within the bond-order correlation approach (2005)

Grassi, A., Lombardo, G. M., Forte, G., Angilella, G. G. N., Pucci, R., March, N. H.

Ab initio calculations including electron correlation are still extremely costly except for the smallest atoms and molecules. Therefore, our purpose in the present study is to employ a bond-order...

Electronic structure of clusters (LiBC)_n: n=1, 2, 4 (2005)

Lombardo, G. M., Grassi, A., Forte, G., Angilella, G. G. N., Pucci, R., March, N. H.

A crystalline form of LiBC is known which has been predicted to be superconducting, with a Tc comparable to that of MgB_2. In both compounds, superconductivity is enhanced by the presence of two...

Morbo di Parkinson: biomonitoraggio degli elementi chimici e del danno ossidativo - Parkinson’s disease: bio-monitoring of the chemical elements and oxidative damage (2005)

Alimonti, A., Bocca, B., Forte, G., Pino, A., Ruggieri, F.

The aetiology of the Parkinson’s disease is still unclear, but it is accepted that different factors may play a role in the development of this neuropathology. Among them, exogenous toxins such...

Bond-order correlation energies for small Si-containing molecules compared with ab initio results from low-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (2004)

Grassi, A., Lombardo, G. M., Forte, G., Angilella, G. G. N., Pucci, R., March, N. H.

The present study of small molecules containing silicon has been motivated by (a) the considerable interest being shown currently in the kinetics and reactivity of such molecules, and (b) the...

Biomonitoring of a worker population exposed to platinum dust in a catalyst production plant

Petrucci, F, Violante, N, Senofonte, O, Cristaudo, A, Di, G, Forte, G, ...

Aims: To evaluate the occupational exposure to platinum in an industrial plant engaged in the production, recovery, and recycling of catalytic converters for the automotive traction and chemical...

A methodology for the electrical energy system planning of Tamil Nadu state (India)

Daniel, J., Dicorato, M., Forte, G., Iniyan, S., Trovato, M.

In this paper, an energy planning optimisation procedure of a selected territory is illustrated and applied using an energy flow optimisation model. The developed approach takes into account various...
