Boron Nitride Nanotube Peapod under Ultrasonic Velocity Impacts: A Fully Atomistic Molecular Dynamics Investigation

In this work, we investigated the mechanical response and fracture dynamics of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs)-peapods under ultrasonic velocity impacts (from 1 km/s to 6 km/s) against a solid target. BNNT-peapods are BNNTs containing an encapsulated linear arrangement of C60 molecules. We carried out fully atomistic reactive (ReaxFF) molecular dynamics simulations. We have considered the case of horizontal and vertical shootings. Depending on the velocity values we observed tube bending, tube fracture, and C60 ejection. One interesting result was tube unzipping with the formation of bilayer nanoribbons 'incrusted' with C60 molecules.

Non-standard neutrinos interactions in a 331 model with minimum Higgs sector

We present a detailed analysis of a class of extensions to the SM Gauge chiral symmetry $SU(3)_{C}\times SU(3)_{L}\times U(1)_{X}$ (331 model), where the neutrino electroweak interaction with matter via charged and neutral current is modified through new gauge bosons of the model. We found the connections between the non-standard contributions on 331 model with non-standard interactions. Through limits of such interactions in cross section experiments we constrained the parameters of the model, obtaining that the new energy scale of this theory should obey $V>1.3$ TeV and the new bosons of the model must have masses greater than 610 GeV.

A Relation Between Gravity in $(3+1)$--Dimensions and Pontrjagin Topological Invariant

A relation between the MacDowell-Mansouri theory of gravity and the Pontrjagin toplogical invariant in $(3+1)$ dimensions is discussed. This relation may be of especial interest in the quest of finding a mechanism to go from non-dynamical to dynamical gravity.
