Gold Chain Formation via Local Lifting of Surface Reconstruction by Hot Electron Injection on H-2(D-2)/Au(111)

Klaus Kern, Anna Maria Roslawska, Abhishek Grewal

The hexagonal close packed surface of gold shows a 22 x root 3 "herringbone" surface reconstruction which makes it unique among the (111) surfaces of all metals. This long-range energetically favored dislocation pattern appears in response to the strong te ...

Local photo-mechanical stiffness revealed in gold nanoparticles supracrystals by ultrafast small-angle electron diffraction

Francesco Stellacci, Fabrizio Carbone, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Tatiana Latychevskaia, Francesco Pennacchio, Javier Reguera Gomez

We demonstrate that highly ordered two-dimensional crystals of ligand-capped gold nanoparticles display a local photo-mechanical stiffness as high as that of solids such as graphite. In out-of-equilibrium electron diffraction experiments, a strong temperat ...

Experimental and theoretical investigation of crystallography and variant selection during massive transformation in Zr alloy

Cyril Cayron

Massive transformation, as a non-conventional solid-state phase transformation mode, is scarcely observed in metals with hexagonal closed packed (HCP) structure, especially in Zr and its alloys. In this study, however, we report the massive transformation ...

Imaging of transition charge densities involving carbon core excitations by all X-ray sum-frequency generation

Jérémy Raymond Jean Maurice Rouxel

X-ray diffraction signals from the time-evolving molecular charge density induced by selective core excitation of chemically inequivalent carbon atoms are calculated. A narrowband X-ray pulse selectively excites the carbon K-edge of the -CH3 or -CH2F group ...

Statics and dynamics of multivalley charge density waves in Sb (111)

Davide Campi, Daniele Dragoni

Charge density waves (CDWs), periodic modulations of the charge density, are among the most abundant and non-trivial ordered phases in condensed matter. Here we demonstrate the occurrence of multi-valley charge density waves (MV-CDW) on the semimetal Sb(11 ...
