Numerical investigation of bound states in quantum magnets

Mithilesh Nayak

Bound-states of particles are an interesting problem in quantum mechanics dating back to 1931 Bethe's solution of spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain. These exotic composite states are realized in quantum magnets and are detectable in inelastic neutron scattering (I ...

Symmetry-Induced Singlet-Triplet Inversions in Non-Alternant Hydrocarbons

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Jacob Terence Blaskovits, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

Molecules with inversion of the singlet and triplet excited-state energies are highly promising for the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). To date, azaphenalenes are the only class of molecules where these inversions have been identified ...

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 ...

Thermal spin crossover in Fe(ii) and Fe(iii). Accurate spin state energetics at the solid state

Sergio Vela Llausi, Maria Fumanal Quintana

The thermal spin crossover (SCO) phenomenon refers to an entropy-driven spin transition in some materials based on d(6)-d(9) transition metal complexes. While its molecular origin is well known, intricate SCO behaviours are increasingly common, in which th ...

Ultrafast X-ray Spectroscopy of Heme Proteins

Dominik Kinschel

With the advent of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) time-resolved X-ray spectroscopic techniques have advanced to the femtosecond regime. These are element selective techniques which offer unique insight into the electronic and chemical environment and d ...

Mixed scalar-current bootstrap in three dimensions

Alessandro Vichi, Marten Jan Reehorst

We study the mixed system of correlation functions involving a scalar field charged under a global U(1) symmetry and the associated conserved spin-1 current J(mu). Using numerical bootstrap techniques we obtain bounds on new observables not accessible in t ...

Toward time-resolved laser T-jump/X-ray probe spectroscopy in aqueous solutions

Majed Chergui, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Oliviero Cannelli, Dominik Kinschel, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Benjamin Bauer, Rebecca Ann Ingle

Most chemical and biochemical reactions in nature and in industrial processes are driven by thermal effects that bring the reactants above the energy barrier for reaction. In aqueous solutions, this process can also be triggered by the laser driven tempera ...

A systematic investigation on the bactericidal transient species generated by photo-sensitization of natural organic matter (NOM) during solar and photo Fenton disinfection of surface waters

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis

In this work, the role of dissolved oxygen in the solar and the photo-Fenton-mediated E. coli inactivation process was put under scrutiny. The effect of transient species that were produced in the presence of various natural organic matter isolates (NOM), ...

On the Generality of Molecular Volcano Plots

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Matthew Wodrich, Boodsarin Sawatlon, Michael Markus Busch

In homogeneous catalysis, the structure and electronic config-uration of the active catalysts can vary significantly. Changes inligation, oxidation, and spin states have the potential to influ-ence the catalytic cycle energet ics strongly that, to a larged ...
