The facets create regions of local compression that induce exothermic reaction that leads to local hotspots and an increased shock sensitivity to detonation. Two mechanisms for compression and hotspot formation are identified that depend on the shock impedance mismatch between the binder and energetic crystal, namely shock focusing and local compression of the facets. These results provide a possible explanation for why spherical RDX crystals in cast polymer-bonded explosives appear less shock sensitive than RDX with more faceted morphologies.}, number={47}, journal={JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY B}, author={Shi, Yunfeng and Brenner, Donald W.}, year={2008}, month={Nov}, pages={14898–14904} } @article{shi_he_zhu_2008, title={Photoluminescence-enhanced biocompatible quantum dots by phospholipid functionalization}, volume={43}, ISSN={["1873-4227"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.materresbull.2007.10.034}, abstractNote={A simple two-step strategy using phospholipid (PPL) to functionalize core/shell CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) has been described. The experimental data show that the use of S–H terminated PPL results not only in the high colloidal stability of core/shell CdSe/ZnS QDs in the aqueous phase, but also in the significant enhancement of photoluminescence. The degree of the enhancement is a function of the PPL–CdSe/ZnS QDs sample concentration. These results might be promising for future biological platform in new devices ranging from photovoltaic cells to biosensors and other devices.}, number={10}, journal={MATERIALS RESEARCH BULLETIN}, author={Shi, Yunfeng and He, Peng and Zhu, Xinyuan}, year={2008}, month={Oct}, pages={2626–2635} } @article{shi_brenner_2007, title={Simulated thermal decomposition and detonation of nitrogen cubane by molecular dynamics}, volume={127}, number={13}, journal={Journal of Chemical Physics}, author={Shi, Y.
