Evaluating CO2 breakthrough in a shaly a caprock material: a multi-scale experimental approach

Lyesse Laloui, Eleni Stavropoulou

The potential of underground CO2 storage relies on the sealing efficiency of an overlaying caprock that acts as a geological barrier. Shales are considered as potential caprock formations thanks to their favourable hydro-mechanical properties. In this work ...

Insights into the microbial reduction of pentavalent and hexavalent uranium species by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1

Margaux Camille Andréa Molinas

Decades of uranium-related activities such as ore mining, nuclear power generation, weapon manufacture, storage of nuclear wastes, have contributed to the release of U in the environment. U occurrence is concerning, since in surface environments, U is typi ...

Is a Single Conformer Sufficient to Describe the Reorganization Energy of Amorphous Organic Transport Materials?

Iwona Swiderska, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Kun-Han Lin, Jacob Terence Blaskovits, Raimon Fabregat I De Aguilar-Amat

The reorganization energy (lambda), which quantifies the structural rearrangement of a molecule when accommodating a charge, is a key parameter in the evaluation of charge mobility in molecular solids. However, it is unclear how lambda is influenced by con ...

Permanganate Reduction by Hydrogen Peroxide: Formation of Reactive Manganese Species and Superoxide and Enhanced Micropollutant Abatement

Urs von Gunten

Permanganate (MnO4-, Mn(VII)) is widely applied at the initial stage of water treatment to, e.g., abate taste and odor compounds, Mn(II) and Fe(II). However, its selectivity limits its application for micropollutant abatement. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), whi ...

A universal signature in the melting of metallic nanoparticles

Kevin Rossi

Predicting when phase changes occur in nanoparticles is fundamental for designing the next generation of devices suitable for catalysis, biomedicine, optics, chemical sensing and electronic circuits. The estimate of the temperature at which metallic nanopa ...

Unified analysis of topological defects in 2D systems of active and passive disks

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Pasquale Digregorio

We provide a comprehensive quantitative analysis of localized and extended topological defects in the steady state of 2D passive and active repulsive Brownian disk systems. We show that, both in and out-of-equilibrium, the passage from the solid to the hex ...

Inferring the flow properties of epithelial tissues from their geometry

Matthieu Wyart, Marko Popovic

Amorphous materials exhibit complex material properties with strongly nonlinear behaviors. Below a yield stress they behave as plastic solids, while they start to yield above a critical stress sigma(c). A key quantity controlling plasticity which is, howev ...

Phase separation of self-propelled disks with ferromagnetic and nematic alignment

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Elena Sesé Sansa

We present a comprehensive study of a model system of repulsive self-propelled disks in two dimensions with ferromagnetic and nematic velocity alignment interactions. We characterize the phase behavior of the system as a function of the alignment and self- ...

A combined molecular dynamics and experimental study of two-step process enabling low-temperature formation of phase-pure α-FAPbI3

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Ursula Röthlisberger, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Paramvir Ahlawat, Essa Awadh R Alharbi, Haizhou Lu

It is well established that the lack of understanding the crystallization process in a two-step sequential deposition has a direct impact on efficiency, stability, and reproducibility of perovskite solar cells. Here, we try to understand the solid-solid ph ...

Thermally activated flow in models of amorphous solids

Matthieu Wyart, Thomas Willem Jan de Geus, Marko Popovic, Wencheng Ji

Amorphous solids yield at a critical value Sigma(c) of the imposed stress Sigma through a dynamical phase transition. While sharp in athermal systems, the presence of thermal fluctuations leads to the rounding of the transition and thermally activated flow ...

One-dimensional composite host-guest structure in BaVS3

László Forró, Helmuth Berger, Gervais Chapuis, Philip Pattison, Alla Arakcheeva, Neven Barisic

A detailed synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) study performed with a single crystal of BaVS3 (barium vanadium trisulfide) in the temperature range between 10 and 295 K is reported. Aside from the known tetragonal–orthorhombic (240 K) and orthorhombic–mono ...

Focusing on the liquid role in the vapour liquid solid growth mechanism

Lea Ghisalberti

In this work we dive into key questions regarding the wetting of a nanoscale droplet which provides fundamental understanding of Vapor-Liquid-Solid growth mode of nanowires. This understanding is important to performreproducible NW fabrication and allow th ...
