However, the legal status of marijuana in different parts of the world remains a problem when conducting experiments for academic purposes. In this way, algorithms based on molecular dynamics are of great help to study the change in the physical properties of membranes, which is our first defense barrier, in the presence of external agents. Here we used equilibrium molecular dynamics to study the interactions of a DPPC/DPPG monolayer membrane with CBD and THC, these two molecules being one of the main components of Cannabis, and compare the interactions with morphine and lidocaine which are drugs with well-known anesthetic properties. We also used the umbrella sampling method to determine the variations of the potential of mean forces as every single drug crosses the membrane obtaining an approximation of the hydration free energy, we obtained a value of 57 kJ mol-1 for CBD and 5 kJ mol-1 for THC; values reported for the first time using molecular dynamics.","PeriodicalId":21538,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana De Fisica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44923562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phenomena of overdamping has been studied classically and quantum mechanically only for the case of the linear damped harmonic oscillator. Here we study the classical and quantum dynamics of a family of over-damped non linear systems. The main objective of this paper is to find a Lagrangian and Hamiltonian framework to study over-damped non linear systems and to show that a quantum mechanical description can be developed in the momentum representation. Our results reduce to the well known solution of the linear damped harmonic oscillator when the non linear part is set to zero.","PeriodicalId":21538,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana De Fisica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43424789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For various side lengths of the quantum box, we compare the spectra gain curves of compressive, tensile-strained, and unstrained structures of the GaN/Al0.2Ga0.8N cubic quantum-dot (QD) laser.

These acetates were structurally characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and, along with all the oxides generated, by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Calculations obtained from TG data showed that manganese acetate lost two waters after freeze-drying, also confirmed by X-ray data and that the same phenomenon may be occurring for zinc acetate. The results indicate that exothermic events occurred at lower temperatures for freeze-dried acetates, which may be related to the high surface area of the material, and consequent greater reactivity. The total decomposition temperatures of the acetates in the ZnO and ZrO2 semiconducting oxides and the manganese oxides Mn2O3 and Me3O4, with excellent crystallization, were obtained.","PeriodicalId":21538,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana De Fisica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46417070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to achieve such understanding we have performed an ab-initio calculations with spin polarization using plane-wave pseudo potential technique based on the density-functional theory (DFT), the exchange-correlation potential was treated with the generalized gradient approximation (PBE-GGA), whereas for the treatment of on-site electron-electron correlations the PBE-GGA+U approximation (where U is the Hubbard Coulomb energy term) are applied for the calculation of the structural, electronic, elastic and magnetic properties of Pd2PrX (X=Cl, F). The results showed that for Pd2PrCl and Pd2PrF, Hg2CuTi-type structure is energetically more stable than Cu2MnAl-type structure at the equilibrium volume. Electronically, Pd2PrCl and Pd2PrF exhibit half-metallicity with small band gaps of 0.06 and 0.25eV respectively with GGA-PBE+U in the spin-down channels whereas spin-up channels are conducting. The calculated total magnetic moment of 2.00 μB per formula unit is very close to integer value and agree well with the Slater-Pauling rules ( Mtot=34-Ztot), where the magnetic moment is basically carried by Pr atoms. However, the elastic properties show that Pd2PrX (X=Cl, F) compounds are ductile and anisotropic according to the analysis of B/G and Cauchy’s pressure. The Thermodynamic properties were also analyzed using the quasi-harmonic Debye model. Both the compounds are found structurally stable.","PeriodicalId":21538,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana De Fisica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47017577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The available theoretical and experimental data for the bandgap energy were reported to determine whether there is a correlation with our results. The electronic structure revealed that our compound is a direct semiconductor at the R-symmetry point with a bandgap of 1.22 eV, which this value agrees well with the experimental values for the first time.
