We studied the structural and electronic properties of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and erythritol tetranitrate (ETN) crystals within the framework of density functional theory with van der Waals interactions. The computed lattice parameters have good agreement with experimental data. Electronic...

Clustering is experimentally and theoretically verified during the complicated processes involved in heating high explosives, and has been thought to influence their detonation properties. However, a detailed description of the clustering that occurs has not been fully elucidated. We...

Obtaining the Hessian from the force covariance matrix: Application to crystalline explosives PETN and RDX.

We show that for solids the effective Hessian matrix, averaged over the canonical ensemble, can be calculated from the force covariance matrix. This effective Hessian reduces to the standard Hessian as the temperature approaches zero, while at finite temperatures...

Quantitative thermodynamic analysis of sublimation rates using an atomic force microscope.

Raman spectra from 50 to 3500 cm(-1) and 4-296 K are analyzed for molecular crystal powders of the explosives pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), beta-octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX), and 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) and the inert naphthalene. Temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy is utilized for its sensitivity...

First-principles-based calculations of vibrational normal modes in polyatomic materials with translational symmetry: application to PETN molecular crystal.

The journal of physical chemistry. B

PMID: 18821785
J Phys Chem B. 2008 Oct 23;112(42):13252-7. doi: 10.1021/jp804980a. Epub 2008 Sep 27.

Numerical studies of vibrational energy transport and associated (non)linear infrared and Raman response in polyatomic materials require knowledge of the multidimensional vibrational potential-energy surface and the ability to perform normal-mode analysis on that potential. The presence of translational symmetry,...

Photothermal initiation of hybrid organic/inorganic metastable interstitial composites: synergistic effects on the dynamics of energy release.

The journal of physical chemistry. A

J Phys Chem A. 2008 Dec 11;112(49):12568-71. doi: 10.1021/jp8064344.

The organic high-energy material pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) was incorporated at low concentrations into Al (100 nm)/Fe(2)O(3) metastable intersitital composites (MIC) to form a hybrid organic/inorganic high-energy material.
