Cubic zirconia in >2370◦C impact melt records Earth’s hottest crust

Cyril Cayron

Bolide impacts influence primordial evolution of planetary bodies because they can cause instantaneous melting and vaporization of both crust and impactors. Temperatures reached by impact-generated silicate melts are unknown because meteorite impacts are e ...

Structure of a model TiO2 photocatalytic interface

Gabriele Tocci

The interaction of water with TiO2 is crucial to many of its practical applications, including photocatalytic water splitting. Following the first demonstration of this phenomenon 40 years ago there have been numerous studies of the rutile single-crystal T ...

Computational Characterization of the Dependence of Halide Perovskite Effective Masses on Chemical Composition and Structure

Michael Graetzel, Ursula Röthlisberger, Giulia Palermo, Simone Meloni, Amir Hesam Salavati, Negar Ashari Astani

Effective masses are calculated for a large variety of perovskites of the form ABX(3) differing in chemical composition (A= Na, Li, Cs; B = Pb, Sn; X= Cl, Br, I) and crystal structure. In addition, the effects of some defects and dopants are assessed. We s ...

Selecting the best AOP for isoxazolyl penicillins degradation as a function of water characteristics: Effects of pH, chemical nature of additives and pollutant concentration

César Pulgarin

To provide new insights toward the selection of the most suitable AOP for isoxazolyl penicillins elimination, the degradation of dicloxacillin, a isoxazolyl penicillin model, was studied using different advanced oxidation processes (AOPs): ultrasound (US), ...

Thermal spin torques in magnetic insulators

Yi Zhang, Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Cheng Zhao, Haiming Yu, Sylvain Bréchet, Ping Che, Sa Tu, Francesco Antonio Vetrò

The damping of spin waves transmitted through a two-port magnonic device implemented on a yttrium iron garnet thin film is shown to be proportional to the temperature gradient imposed on the device. The sign of the damping depends on the relative orientati ...
