Functional electric field changes in photoactivated proteins revealed by ultrafast Stark spectroscopy of the Trp residues

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Andrea Cannizzo, Erwin Portuondo Campa, Stefan Haacke

Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy of wild-type bacteriorhodopsin (WT bR) and 2 tryptophan mutants (W86F and W182F) is performed with visible light excitation (pump) and UV probe. The aim is to investigate the photoinduced change in the charge dis ...

Indirect detection of nitrogen-14 in solid-state NMR spectroscopy

Simone Cavadini

This thesis describes new methods for the detection of 14N nuclei by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. So far, the low natural abundance (0.4 %) 15N isotope has been widely used to study nitrogen-containing samples because of its spin-1/2 nature. The ...

Coherence transfer between spy nuclei and nitrogen-14 in solids

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Simone Cavadini

Coherence transfer from ‘spy nuclei’ such as 1H or 13C (S = 1/2) was used to excite single- or double-quantum coherences of 14N nuclei (I = 1) while the S spins were aligned along the static field, in the manner of heteronuclear single-quantum correlation ...

Large vacuum Rabi splitting in a multiple quantum well GaN-based microcavity in the strong-coupling regime

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Pierre Stadelmann, Raphaël Butté, Antonino Francesco Castiglia, Eric Feltin, Anas Mouti, Gabriel Christmann

An AlInN/AlGaN microcavity (MC) containing a GaN/Al0.2Ga0.8N multiple quantum well (MQW) structure is investigated through room temperature (RT) photoluminescence and reflectivity experiments. A vacuum Rabi splitting as large as 50 meV at RT is reported fo ...

Dielectric spectroscopy in a micromachined flow cytometer: theoretical and practical considerations

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Shady Didier Gawad, Urban Seger, Karen Cheung

We propose a model to determine the influence of different cell properties, such as size, membrane capacitance and cytoplasm conductivity, on the impedance spectrum as measured in a microfabricated cytometer. A dielectric sphere of equivalent complex permi ...
