Application of the Lagrangian descriptors method to Hamiltonian systems with emphasis to models of barred galaxies by Theron, Dylan Grant

“…We first study a Hamiltonian system of galactic type to highlight normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds (NHIMs), examining the impact of different pattern speeds and energy levels on the NHIMs' structure and determine how these features influence orbital morphologies seen in the model's configuration space. Thereafter, we apply the LDs method to a dynamical system whose evolution is governed by fractional ordinary differential equations (FDEs) and showcase the utility of this method in qualitatively revealing phase space structures for systems described by FDEs. …”

Mixed-ligand diruthenium complexes: theoretical modelling and interpretation of electronic absorption spectra by Mutomb, Jean-Luc

“…This study therefore investigates the characteristics of Ru₂(μ-O₂CCH₃)₃(μ-2-Fap)X complexes using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations that utilize the PBE/LANL2DZ level of theory and an Integral Equation Formalism Polarizable Continuum (IEF-PCM) solvent model using water, DCM and DMSO. Calculation of natural transition orbitals (NTOs) and spectrum deconvolution methods have aided in characterizing the electronic transitions of the prominent UV band at 250-350 nm as a combination of δ(Ru₂) → π*(Np,C), π(Cl) → π*(Cp,Np) and π(Cl) → π*(Cₐ) transitions, where the subscript “a” and “p” represents the aniline and pyridine moieties, respectively. …”
