Metasurfaces, planar arrays of subwavelength resonators, have emerged as powerful tools for versatile light manipulation in compact formats across different spectral ranges. Among these, the mid-infrared (mid-IR) is uniquely characterized by its interactio ...
The increasing global demand for sustainable energy solutions necessitates innovative approaches to hydrogen production. This study investigates the use of laser pyrolysis as a rapid and efficient method for converting biomass into hydrogen-rich gas, bioch ...
TiO2 has been widely used in developing self-cleaning coatings on textiles. Spin coating is widely used to prepare films due to its simplicity and the ability to control the thickness and the characteristics of the deposited layers. However, it has been sp ...
Fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOHs) and acrylates (FTACs) have been reported as precursors of perfluoroalkyl acids and are known to contaminate biotic and abiotic compartments. Here, a detailed study was carried out for assessing the capability of dielectric ba ...
Background: Despite major advances in cancer treatment in the past years, there is a need to optimize chemotherapeutic drug dosing strategies to reduce toxicities, suboptimal responses, and the risk of relapse. Most cancer drugs have a narrow therapeutic i ...
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a widely used imaging tool for obtaining a variety of information for a range of samples. Although it was initially intended to serve as a method of observing very flat solid surfaces, its use expanded into several other fi ...
This thesis reports on the realization of the first experiments conducted with superfluid, strongly interacting Fermi gases of 6Li coupled to the light field of an optical cavity. In the scope of existing ultracold atomic platforms, this is the first time ...
State-to-state molecule/surface scattering experiments prepare the incident molecules in a specific quantum state and measure the quantum state distribution of the scattered molecules. The comparison of state resolved experiments with theory can serve as s ...
1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) is widely used as a model substrate for measuring the enzyme activity of glutathione S-transferases in toxicity studies and in studies focusing on the metabolic capacity of different test systems. To allow the quantificat ...
A method for analyzing a plurality of molecules with cryogenic vibrational spectroscopy including the steps of providing a packet of molecules in a ionized form, injecting the packet into an ion mobility section, spatially separating the ions of the packet ...
Nanofluidic systems offer a huge potential for discovery of new molecular transport and chemical phenomena that can be employed for future technologies. Herein, we report on the transport behavior of surface-reactive compounds in a nanometer-scale flow of ...
Cells modulate the functional properties of their environment by depositing extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins during biological processes in vivo and in vitro. Despite the ECMs central role in tissue formation, its quantification in hydrogels like Matrig ...
The study of the electronic band structure of solids is a central task in materials science. Indeed, knowing a material's band structure is key to an understanding of its macroscopic electronic properties. In recent years, a new class of materials has emer ...
We have investigated the infrared spectra of the quarter-filled charge-ordered insulators delta-(EDT-TTF-CONMe2)(2)X (X=AsF6, Br) along all three crystallographic directions in the temperature range from 300 to 10 K. DFT-assisted normal mode analysis of th ...
