A critical evaluation of novel algorithms for the off-lattice Monte Carlo simulation of condensed polymer phases
Leontidis, Epameinondas; De Pablo, J. J.; Laso, M.; Suter, U. W. (1994)Novel composite algorithms for efficient off-lattice simulations of dense polymer phases are implemented and evaluated in the case of polyethylene in the united and explicit atom approximations. The simulation algorithms ...

The Mechanism of Spectral Shift and Inhomogeneous Broadening of an Aromatic Chromophore in a Polymer Glass
Leontidis, Epameinondas; Suter, U. W.; Schütz, M.; Lüthi, H. -P; Renn, A.; Wild, U. P. (1995)We have attempted to obtain microscopic-level understanding of the absorption band of the chromophore s-tetrazine in a glassy polymer matrix (atactic polypropylene) at low temperatures. Our investigation has focused on the ...

Normal and defective perylene substitution sites in alkane crystals
Leontidis, Epameinondas; Heinz, H.; Palewska, K.; Wallenborn, E. -U; Suter, U. W. (2001)The substitution nature of perylene in polycrystalline solid alkane matrices was examined. Low temperature excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy was used to determine substitution sites in alkane matrices from hexane to ...

A normal-mode study of a polymer glass containing a chromophore impurity
Forrest, B. M.; Leontidis, Epameinondas; Suter, U. W. (1996)We examine the vibrational density of states of atomistic models of polypropylene glasses containing a single impurity molecule of s-tetrazine. We discuss existing methods and develop new ones to achieve significant data ...

The Shpol'skii system perylene in n-hexane: A computational study of inclusion sites
Wallenborn, E. -U; Leontidis, Epameinondas; Palewska, K.; Suter, U. W.; Wild, U. P. (2000)We present a combined quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics study of the Shpol'skii system perylene/n-hexane. The system was modeled utilizing a customized pcff-derived force field optimized with a balanced set of optimization ...

Simple and accurate computations of solvatochromic shifts in π → π* transitions of aromatic chromophores
Heinz, H.; Suter, U. W.; Leontidis, Epameinondas (2001)A new approach is introduced for calculating the spectral shifts of the most bathochromic π → π * transition of an aromatic chromophore in apolar environments. As an example, perylene in solid and liquid n-alkane matrixes ...
