This thesis investigates the development, characterization, and potential applications of a novel instrument designed to measure the transverse profile of accelerated beams with high resolution, sensitivity, and frame rate. The study explores various fabr ...

Dynamical perturbations modify the states of classical systems in surprising ways and give rise to important applications in science and technology. For example, Floquet engineering exploits the possibility of band formation in the frequency domain when a ...

Herein, a post-synthetic modification strategy is used to covalently graft polyamines, including ethylenediamine (ED), diethylenetriamine (DETA), tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TAEA), and polyethyleneimine (PEI) to the amino-ligand inside of a Cr-MOF, NH2-Cr-BDC ...

Metasurfaces have opened the way for gaining control over the frequency and the polarization responses of electromagnetic waves. However, it is still challenging to control their electromagnetic angular response. Here, the potential of diffractive surfaces ...

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) is a material having an intrinsically high radiation hardness that can be deposited on flexible substrates such as polyimide (PI). For these properties, a-Si:H can be used for the production of flexible sensors. a-Si ...

Crystallization of amorphous layers has been demonstrated under various radically different laser-exposure conditions, including continuous wave (cw) and pulsed lasers. Here, we investigate the specific role of ionization in the crystallization of dielectr ...

Curcuminoids and their complexes continue to attract attention in medicinal chemistry, but little attention has been given to their metabolic derivatives. Here, the first examples of (arene)Ru(II) complexes with curcuminoid metabolites, tetrahydrocurcumin ...

Multi-spectral imaging of helium atomic emission (HeMSI) has been used to create 2D poloidal maps of T-e and ne in TCV's divertor. To achieve these measurements, TCV's MANTIS multispectral cameras (Perek et al 2019 Rev. Sci. Instrum. 90 123514) simultaneou ...

Carbon K-edge resonant Auger spectra of gas-phase allene following excitation of the pre-edge 1s -> pi* transitions are presented and analysed with the support of EOM-CCSD/cc-pVTZ calculations. X-Ray absorption (XAS), X-ray photoelectron (XPS), valence ban ...

The discovery of superconductivity in doped infinite-layer nickelate thin films has brought increased attention to the behavior of the doped perovskite phase. Despite this interest, the majority of existing studies pertain to hole-doped perovskite rare-ear ...

Tantalum oxide Ta2O5 nanotubes (NTs) were prepared by electrochemical anodization and were decorated with lead sulfide nanoparticles PbS (NPs) by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction commonly known as the SILAR method. The PbS NPs/Ta2O5 NTs were ...

Structure determination of materials is key to understanding their physical properties. While single-crystal X-ray diffraction is the gold standard for structures displaying long-range order, many materials of interest are polycrystalline and/or disordered ...

Medical research and technological advancements are heading towards tailored healthcare approaches that prioritize individual needs, allowing for more accurate diagnoses, more effective treatments, and better patient outcomes overall. One such approach is ...

Machine learned interatomic interaction potentials have enabled efficient and accurate molecular simulations of closed systems. However, external fields, which can greatly change the chemical structure and/or reactivity, have been seldom included in curren ...

Regio- and stereoselective nucleophilic attack of cyanide (from NBu4CN) to cationic diiron vinyliminium compounds [Fe2Cp2(CO)(mu-CO){mu-eta(1):eta(3)-C-(R')C(R '')-CNMe2}]CF3SO3 ([1a-f]CF3SO3) affords the nitrile-aminoallylidene derivatives 2a-f in good to ...

The role of halide substitution in a lead-free 2D hybrid perovskite is investigated on the BZA(2)SnX(4) (BZA = benzylammonium; X = Cl, Br and I) system, by reporting the synthesis and the structural analysis by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction dat ...

Microscopic visualisation of optically transparent samples has been a topic of interest for several decades. Features such as density or chemical composition can influence the optical phase of transmitted light, and phase contrast can reveal these structur ...

Supported ruthenium was used in the liquid phase catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural. To improve the stability of Ru against leaching, phosphorous was introduced on a Ru/Al2O3 based catalyst upon impregnation with ammonium hypophosphite followed b ...

Quantitative molecular detection based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is still a great challenge because of the highly nonuniform distribution of the SERS hot spots and the nondeterministic spatial and spectral overlap of the analyte with th ...

The recent demonstration of isolated attosecond pulses from an X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) opens the possibility for probing ultrafast electron dynamics at X-ray wavelengths. An established experimental method for probing ultrafast dynamics is X-ray t ...
