Superexchange mechanism and quantum many body excitations in the archetypal di-Cu oxo-bridge

Cédric Weber, Edward Baxter Linscott

The hemocyanin protein binds and transports molecular oxygen via two copper atoms at its core. The singlet state of the Cu2O2 core is thought to be stabilised by a superexchange pathway, but detailed in situ computational analysis is complicated by the mul ...

Diffraction artefacts from twins and stacking faults, and the mirage of hexagonal, polytypes or other superstructures

Cyril Cayron

Recently, a hexagonal phase has been reported in high carbon steels in several studies. Here, we show that the electron microscopy results used in these studies were erroneously interpreted. The extra-spots in the diffraction patterns and the odd contrasts ...

A New Concept of Sensor for Ultra-high Levels of Radiation based on Radiation Enhanced Oxidation of Copper Thin-films

Georgi Gorine

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) is the envisioned particle accelerator to be installed in the Geneva area (Switzerland). It could achieve an energy of 100 TeV by colliding proton beams (FCC-hh) travelling through a 100 km tunnel. Unprecedented radiation ...

Fine-tuning the coordination atoms of copper redox mediators: an effective strategy for boosting the photovoltage of dye-sensitized solar cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Chong Liu

Natural systems have marvelously utilized copper complexes featuring sulfur-coordinating ligands, known as blue copper proteins, as efficient electron-transfer mediators in biological processes. Copper complexes with sulfur-coordinating ligands have been a ...

Radiation enhanced oxidation of proton-irradiated copper thin-films: Towards a new concept of ultra-high radiation dosimetry

Jean-Michel Sallese, Didier Bouvet, Georgi Gorine

The effects of extreme radiation levels on the electrical resistivity of metal thin films made of copper were studied by means of electrical measurements and post irradiation imaging. Different 3x3 mm(2) chips were produced by depositing 500 nm of meander ...

Overcritical Current Resistivity of YBCO-Coated Conductors Through Combination of PCM and Finite-Element Analysis

Bertrand Dutoit, Bertrand Dutoit, Francesco Grilli, Nicolo' Riva

Understanding the electro-thermal behavior of high-temperature superconductor (HTS) materials is a critical aspect for designing efficient and reliable applications. In order to optimize cost and performance, one needs to understand the role played by the ...

FVPM numerical simulation of the effect of particle shape and elasticity on impact erosion

François Avellan, Ebrahim Jahanbakhsh, Audrey Paulette Solange Maertens, Sebastián Camilo Leguizamón Sarmiento, Siamak Alimirzazadeh

The erosion of hydraulic machines by solid particle impacts is a widespread problem that leads to outage for expensive repairs, efficiency reduction, and cavitation enhancement. Numerical simulations can be used to study the phenomenon, provided they featu ...
