Two analytical approaches quantifying the electron donating capacities of dissolved organic matter to monitor its oxidation during chlorination and ozonation

Electron-donating activated aromatic moieties, including phenols, in dissolved organic matter (DOM) partially control its reactivity with the chemical oxidants ozone and chlorine. This comparative study introduces two sensitive analytical systems to direct ...

Orientational ordering of water in extended hydration shells of cations is ion-specific and is correlated directly with viscosity and hydration free energy

Sylvie Roke, Yixing Chen, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Chung-Wen Liang

Specific ion effects in aqueous solutions are investigated at the molecular, nanoscopic and macroscopic levels. Femtosecond elastic second harmonic scattering (fs-ESHS) is used here to assess the chemical effects of ions on molecular and nanoscopic length ...

High-energy electronic interaction in the 3d band of high-temperature iron-based superconductors

Helmuth Berger, Maryna Viazovska

One of the most unique and robust experimental facts about iron-based superconductors is the renormalization of the electronic band dispersion by factor of 3 and more near the Fermi level. Obviously related to the electron pairing, this prominent deviation ...

Predictive Determination of Band Gaps of Inorganic Halide Perovskites

Ursula Röthlisberger, Alfredo Pasquarello, Julia Anna Wiktor

We carry out first-principles calculations of band gaps of cubic inorganic perovskites belonging to the class CsBX3, with B = Pb, Sn and X = Cl, Br, I. We use the quasi particle self-consistent GW method with efficient vertex corrections to calculate the e ...

Valence and conduction band tuning in halide perovskites for solar cell applications

Ursula Röthlisberger, Giulia Palermo, Simone Meloni, Negar Ashari Astani

We performed density functional calculations aimed at identifying the atomistic and electronic structure origin of the valence and conduction band, and band gap tunability of halide perovskites ABX(3) upon variations of the monovalent and bivalent cations ...

Two-dimensional metal-organic networks as templates for the self-assembly of atom and cluster arrays

Giulia Elisabetta Pacchioni

This thesis presents a study of the use of two-dimensional metal-organic systems as templates for the organization of metal atoms and clusters on surfaces. We start with a systematic characterization of the metal-organic porous networks formed on Cu(111) b ...
