Upon re-writing the equations from Kinetic theory of solids I stumbled across a phrase that seemed out of place. searching for it I located it in a book by Mott and Jones. This material is copyrighted and cannot be included in wikipedia

Personal attacks by Logger9

edit
  • Who do you think you are to make comments such as "along with his other articles on how he likes to torture himself physically". As if this somehow diverts the attention away from the fact that you are unable to edit here constructively and away from the fact that pretty much all of your contributions have been found to be plagiarised. Why attack me personally? I was willing to give you a chance, I made a point of saying in order to give you that chance you will need to accept the philosophy behind creating this encyclopedia. You cannot accept this and now resort to attacking me personally on the basis that I edit the Self-harm article. Unacceptable. Polyamorph (talk) 09:27, 2 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • And what's this "JD was so desparately concerned about his own WP status that he immediately swapped barnstars with Afluegel -- who reciprocated with the condition that JD would keep his discussion of self-torture and mutilation off of the glass dicsussion pages." This is completely fabricated by you. Sure we gave each other barnstars but for valid reasons. Why this obsession with my contributions to Self-harm? The only way I can interpret this is as a personal attack on me, a quite nasty kind of personal attack which quite frankly warrants either an apology from you or further action by an admin. Polyamorph (talk) 10:11, 2 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
I hence ask any admin reading this to take action by blocking Logger9 from editing this page due to personal attacks made while subject to an indefinite block. Polyamorph (talk) 12:33, 2 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yepsters....the truth always stings a bit! You might wish to consider this again the next time your politics get messy. Loyalty and support are vital to any successful organization. -- logger9 (talk) 04:12, 3 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

  logger9, this is the kind of behavior to which I am referring below. Any additional personal attacks of this nature will result in the suspension of your ability to edit your user talk page. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:05, 3 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

DFT Rewrite

A quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) model obtained by using multiple linear stepwise regression analysis, with correlation coefficient R of 0.979 for the training set and 0.951 for the validation set, was developed to predict the glass transition temperature (T g) values of polyacrylates. Three quantum chemical descriptors (the molecular average polarizability a, the entropy S, and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital E LUMO) obtained directly from polyacrylates monomer structure by density function theory (DFT) calculation, were used to produce the model. The result confirmed the role that quantum chemical descriptors play in studying QSPR of glass transition temperature for polymers.

These descriptors were then used in order to produce the model. The result confirmed the primary role of such descriptors in studying QSPR models of the Tg for these polymers.

The glass transition of a hard sphere system is investigated within the framework of the density functional theory (DFT). Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to study the dynamical behavior of the system on the one hand and to provide the data to produce the density field for the DFT on the other hand. Energy landscape analysis based on the DFT shows that there appears a metastable (local) free energy minimum representing an amorphous state as the density is increased. This state turns out to become stable, compared with the uniform liquid, at some density around which we also observe a sharp slowing down of the alpha relaxation in the MD simulations.

Glasses and glass ceramics in the ternary xEu2O3·(100 - x)[7TeO2·3P2O5] systems .. have been prepared from melt quenching method. Influence of europium ions on structural behavior in phosphate–tellurate glasses has been investigated using infrared spectroscopy. The addition of high Eu2O3 content resulted in gradual depolymerization of the phosphate chains and formation of the EuPO4 crystalline phase. Presence of the multiple cations of europium and tellurium in the glasses to attract the [PO4] structural units
Comparing the theoretical and experimental IR spectral characteristic features, we conclude that the performance of the method/basis sets used on the prediction of the structural data and vibrational modes is good.

Raman spectra have been interpreted using density functional theory (DFT) harmonic frequency calculations on specific clusters of GaS4H4 and/or GaS3H3Cl tetrahedral subunits. The assignment of the observed vibrational bands confirms the main structural conclusions obtained with X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments
however, no Raman signature of chlorine-doped subunits has been found to be caused by their insufficient intensity. For higher CsCl concentrations, distinct spectral features corresponding to chlorine-doped clusters appear
The added chlorine atoms induce a fragmentation of the glass network and replace the sulfur atoms in the CS tetrahedral environment. The comparison of the observed spectra with theoretical predictions and diffraction data favoured one-fold coordinated chlorine atoms in the glass network.

However, no Raman signature of chlorine-doped subunits has been found, which may be caused by their lack of intensity..for higher CsCl concentrations, distinct spectral features which are typically associated with chlorine-doped clusters appear
The added chlorine atoms thus appears to induce a fragmentation of the glassy network by replacing the sulfur atoms in the CS tetrahedral environment. The comparison of the observed Raman spectra with theoretical DFT predictions and diffraction data tends to favor a 1-fold coordination for chlorine atoms within the glassy network.

The local structures of two metallic glasses with good plasticity, i.e., Al89La6Ni5 and Cu49Hf42Al9, were studied by reduced density functions (RDFs) from electron diffraction in a transmission electron microscope. Atomic models were refined against the RDF data using the reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) method and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This approach allows the contributions of different bond types to the total G(r) to be examined. For Al89La6Ni5, RDFs from different local areas showed three distinct amorphous structures while RDFs from different local areas in Cu49Hf42Al9 were identical, but with a broad spread of Hf-Hf bond lengths. The coexistence of three distinct amorphous states in Al89La6Ni5 and the wide variation of Hf-Hf first neighbour distances in Cu49Hf42Al9 could be associated with the high plasticity for both glasses.

New version

Applicable work in the field of DFT has been abundant over the last several years. In particular, one model was developed in order to predict the glass transition temperature Tg values of several polyacrylates [1] as well as other polymers, including 60 polyvinyls, polyethylenes and polymethacrylates [2] In addition, The glass transition of a hard sphere system has been investigated, where Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been utilized in order to study the dynamical behavior of the system. In these studies, a minimum in the free energy landscape is representative of an amorphous state as the density is increased. The stability of this state becomes evident as compared with the uniform liquid. This occurs at some density value whic corresponds with a distinct slowing down of the relaxation in the MD simulations. [3]

DFT calcualations have been carried out on glasses as well as glass ceramics in the ternary u2O3·7TeO2·3P2O5 system which have been prepared utilizing the melt quenching method. In these studies, the influence of europium ions on microstructural behavior in phosphate-tellurate glasses has been investigated using IR spectroscopy. IR changes attribute the influence[PO4] microstructural units in helping to explain a drastic reduction of the characteristic features corresponding to bandwidth, position and intensity. [4] In another study, several vanadate-tellurate vitreous systems were prepared by using the conventional method of melt quenching. Microstructural features have been investigated using FTIR spectroscopy as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations. [5]

The alkali metal halide doping of gallium-sulfide glasses has been shown to optimize both optical and thermal properties, as well as enhancing the glass forming capacity of these compounds. [6] One group used DFT in order to calculate the structure, bond length (picometer, pm), and vibrational frequencies(intensities)[degeneracy] for various clusters of arsenic selenide. It was confirmed in these studies that linear As-Se-As -- for which the calculated fundamental vibrational frequency is 27.6 cm-1 -- is in agreement with the data of Nemanich (Phys. Rev. B, Vol. 16, p. 1655, 1977), and J.C. Phillips, et al., (Phys. Rev B, Vol. 21, p. 5724,1980). The same group have also successfully calculated several higher (harmonic or overtone) vibrational frequencies. Interestingly, these data are in excellent agreement with the Raman data in the same system [J. Non-Cryst. Solids, Vol. 351, 489(2005); Vol., 353, 111, 2007]. [7]

Finally, the local structures of two metallic glasses with good plasticity, i.e., Al89La6Ni5 and Cu49Hf42Al9, were studied by using reduced density functions (RDFs) from electron diffraction in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Atomic models were refined against the RDF data using the reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) method and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. These samples showed a broad spread of Hf-Hf bond lengths, which could be associated with the high plasticity for both of these metallic glasses. [8]

Comparison

Logger, your new version is still a clear copyright violation. Compare your final paragraph with the source you claim above to have paraphrased it from (identical phrases are in bold):

The fact that you can't manage to write a few non-plagiarised paragraphs when you're attempting to demonstrate your reformed character in the middle of a copyright investigation is concerning. Djr32 (talk) 11:46, 3 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Unblocking

edit

At this point, I am not willing to unblock you. No one has stepped forward to volunteer to monitor your contributions, and the contributors I have approached have declined to do so. As I indicated in section above, I consider this essential. As it has been pointed out immediately above, by Djr32, your rewrite proposed here is still not in keeping with Wikipedia's standards as some of the text is far too closely paraphrased. While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation - including both structure and language - are. I agree with Djr32 that it is concerning that this is the sample you produce while under scrutiny; it suggests that there may be considerable work in learning to rewrite content "from scratch", as is required by our copyright policy. Your past history suggests that you may have difficulty perceiving issues in this regard. Besides your denial of copying at the CCI subpage, for instance, you wrote on December 22nd, "If you actually expect me to rewrite my previously thorough rewrites, then please see your messages -- and try to be far more specific." (emphasis added) User:Materialscientist's next edit demonstrates how very non-thorough your rewrite was. I'm sorry to say that I do not feel at this point that permitting you access to Wikipedia is an acceptable risk for the project. It is better to have no content on a subject than to host content in violation of copyright, which can create legal problems for us and for our downstream reusers, some of whom (with our permission) print and market our materials in books and who may be put to considerable expense in correcting these issues.

In terms of conversations on your user talk page, I have not been reviewing your conversations with others, but it has been drawn to my attention that they have become heated and personal. Your use of your talk page should at this point be focused on whether and how you might move forward with contributing to Wikipedia. I would recommend you focus on that and not respond to comments from anyone that you feel distract you from that purpose, including in focusing on past behaviors. If your comments to others are abusive, your access to your talk page may also be blocked, and this would make the already challenging task of negotiating an unblock (should you wish to continue in that effort) even more difficult. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:57, 3 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Oopsie ! You are both absolutely right. I had actually rewritten this summary a couple of weeks ago when doing a rewrite for another purpose. This last section slipped in under my old habits. MY BAD !
Let's try instead for that last paragraph:


Finally, reduced density functions (RDFs) were utilized in order to characterize the microstructures of two metallic glasses with good plasticity. The compositions studied in this work are Al89La6Ni5 and Cu49Hf42Al9. RDFs were obtained using TEM-derived electron diffraction patterns. Interestingly, these samples exhibited a wide variation of interatomic (Hf-Hf) bond lengths. The results could possibly be related to the plasticity observed in these glassy compositions. [1]
