The Journal of Chemical Physics publishes quantitative and rigorous science of long-lasting value in methods and applications of chemical physics.
The details of the contact between two surfaces determine their interaction strength, adhesion, and the resistance against relative motion, the friction. Friction is estimated to be responsible for ~20% of…
John Perdew is a renowned theoretical physicist who has made significant contributions to the field of materials and electronic structure theory, in particular density functional theory (DFT), which is used…
There remain enormous scientific challenges to fully understanding how to harness abundant and sustainable, but diffuse and intermittent, solar energy to generate portable or storable chemical fuels. A molecular-level understanding…
Sustainable energy conversion and storage technologies are a vital prerequisite for a neutral carbon future. Therefore, carbon materials with attractive features, such as tunable pore architectures, good electrical conductivity, outstanding…
The spatial displacement of charges in metallic nanostructures lies at the core of the spectral tunability of plasmonic systems, as their geometry determines and constrains the resonant modes that metallic…
Nanoconfinement alters many aspects of polymer structure and dynamics, impacting the properties of nanocomposites (including surface attached polymers), microphase separated polymers, and ultrathin films. Alterations include large changes in glass…
Announcing the 2023 Emerging Investigators Collection and Awards! The Journal of Chemical Physics is committed to recognizing the excellent work of early career investigators. We are therefore proud to open the…
