Spin Evolution in the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, François Reuse, Klaus Maschke

The first part of this article attempts to highlight in chronological order some prominent papers that have direct connexion with the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. This timeline successively points to the role of level crossing, the notions of gauge fiel ...

Quantum vibronic effects on the electronic properties of solid and molecular carbon

Michele Ceriotti

We study the effect of quantum vibronic coupling on the electronic properties of carbon allotropes, including molecules and solids, by combining path integral first principles molecular dynamics (FPMD) with a colored noise thermostat. In addition to avoidi ...

Theory and simulations of homonuclear three-spin systems in rotating solids

David Lyndon Emsley, Gabriele Stevanato, Pinelopi Moutzouri, Bruno Simões de Almeida

The homonuclear dipolar coupling is the internal spin interaction that contributes the most to the line shapes in magic-angle-spinning (MAS) H-1 NMR spectra of solids, and linewidths typically extend over several hundred Hertz, limiting the H-1 resolution. ...

Quantum yield and brightness

Jean-Claude Bünzli

Brightness has different meaning in different contexts and some of these are reviewed. The scientific definition of brightness does not represent our perception. The current definition is that from the IUPAC Gold Book and is mainly restricted to solutions. ...

Homonuclear Decoupling in H-1 NMR of Solids by Remote Correlation

David Lyndon Emsley, Gabriele Stevanato, Pinelopi Moutzouri, Federico Maria Paruzzo, Bruno Simões de Almeida

The typical linewidths of H-1 NMR spectra of powdered organic solids at 111 kHz magic-angle spinning (MAS) are of the order of a few hundred Hz. While this is remarkable in comparison to the tens of kHz observed in spectra of static samples, it is still th ...

Fast and ultrafast electron microscopies for skyrmions and plasmonics

Gabriele Berruto

In recent years, topology gained a central role in physics. We learnt that energetics could be often explained better by classes of objects defined by having qualitative differences. In today's jargon, we say they are topologically distinct. The process of ...

Unveiling the Nature of Charge Carrier Interactions by Electroabsorption Spectroscopy: An Illustration with Lead-Halide Perovskites

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Joël Teuscher, Andrés Burgos Caminal, Marine Eva Fedora Bouduban

Unravelling the nature of the interactions between photogenerated charge carriers in solar energy conversion devices is key to enhance performance. In this perspective, we discuss electroabsorption spectroscopy (EAS), as the spectral bandshape of the elect ...

Apparatus for salt separation under supercritical water conditions

François Maréchal, Daniel Favrat, Adriano Viana Ensinas, Alberto Mian

Apparatus for salt separation (2) under supercritical water conditions, comprising a heat exchanger (4) and a fluidized bed reactor (6). The fluidized bed reactor comprising a supercritical water pressure containing wall (8) defining therein a fluidized be ...

Flexoelectric Effect in Solids

Alexander Tagantsev

Flexoelectricity-the coupling between polarization and strain gradients-is a universal effect allowed by symmetry in all materials. Following its discovery several decades ago, studies of flexoelectricity in solids have been scarce due to the seemingly sma ...

Fundamentals of flexoelectricity in solids

Alexander Tagantsev, Petr Yudin

The flexoelectric effect is the response of electric polarization to a mechanical strain gradient. It can be viewed as a higher-order effect with respect to piezoelectricity, which is the response of polarization to strain itself. However, at the nanoscale ...

Uniform broadband excitation of crystallites in rotating solids using interleaved sequences of delays alternating with nutation

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Marc Anthony Caporini, Simone Ulzega

In solids that are spinning about the magic angle, trains of short pulses in the manner of Delays Alternating with Nutations for Tailored Excitation (DANTE) allow one to improve the efficiency of the excitation of magnetization compared to rectangular puls ...

Broadband excitation and indirect detection of nitrogen-14 in rotating solids using Delays Alternating with Nutation (DANTE)

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Marc Anthony Caporini, Simone Ulzega

A train of short rotor-synchronized pulses in the manner of Delays Alternating with Nutations for Tailored Excitation (DANTE) applied to nitrogen-14 nuclei (I = 1) in samples spinning at the magic angle at high frequencies (typically nu(rot) = 62.5 kHz so ...

Chemical Developments in DNP-NMR

Pascal Miéville

The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is an extraordinary tool to understand molecular structures. Its main limitation resides in its relatively low sensitivity when compared with other physico-chemical methods such as Mass Spectrometry (MS) or Optical Spec ...

A 3D Granular Model Of Equiaxed-Granular Solidification

Michel Rappaz, Jean-Luc Desbiolles

The solidification of an aluminum-copper alloy has been simulated in 3D using a granular model. Compared to previous similar 2D approaches for where only one phase is continuous, the extension to 3D allows for concurrent continuity of the solid and liquid ...
