Delineating Conformation Control in the Photophysical Behaviour of a Molecular Donor-Acceptor-Donor Triad

Mechanochromic luminescent materials, exhibiting a change in luminescence behavior under external stimuli have emerged as one of the promising candidates for upcoming efficient OLEDs. Recently mechanochromic luminescence was reported in a donor-acceptor-do ...

Shapes of rotating normal fluid He-3 versus superfluid He-4 droplets in molecular beams

Christoph Bostedt, Andre Al Haddad

Previous single-pulse extreme ultraviolet and x-ray coherent diffraction studies revealed that superfluid He-4 droplets obtained in a free jet expansion acquire sizable angular momentum, resulting in significant centrifugal distortion. Similar experiments ...

Moire Flat Bands in Twisted Double Bilayer Graphene

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Seyedeh Fatemeh Haddadi Givi

We investigate twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG), a four-layer system composed of two AB-stacked graphene bilayers rotated with respect to each other by a small angle. Our ab initio band structure calculations reveal a considerable energy gap at the c ...

Analytic stability criteria for edge MHD oscillations in high performance ELM free tokamak regimes

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Daniele Brunetti, Alberto Mariani

A new dispersion relation, and associated stability criteria, is derived for low-n external kink and infernal modes, and is applied to modelling the stability properties of quiescent H-mode like regimes. The analysis, performed in toroidal geometry with la ...

Empirical and analytical analyses of laboratory granular flows to investigate rock avalanche propagation

Vincent Labiouse, Irene Manzella

Laboratory experiments which consist of releasing dry rigid non-cohesive grains or small bricks on an unconfined chute have been designed to investigate rock avalanche propagation mechanisms and to identify parameters influencing their deposit characterist ...
