Real space and reciprocal space investigations of the spin dynamics in skyrmion-hosting materials

Magnetic skyrmions are whirl-like spin configurations with particle-like properties protected by non-trivial topology. Due to their unique spin structures and dynamical properties, they have attracted tremendous interests over the past decade, from fundame ...

Assessing the persistence of chalcogen bonds in solution with neural network potentials

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Veronika Juraskova, Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Frédéric Célerse

Non-covalent bonding patterns are commonly harvested as a design principle in the field of catalysis, supramolecular chemistry, and functional materials to name a few. Yet, their computational description generally neglects finite temperature and environme ...

Pitfalls in the spectral measurements of polarization-altering metasurfaces

Olivier Martin, Hsiang-Chu Wang

The optical characterization of metasurfaces and nanostructures that alter the polarization of light is tricky and can lead to unphysical results, such as reflectance beyond unity. We track the origin of such pitfalls to the response of some typical optica ...

Solid-state synthesis of CdFe2O4 binary catalyst for potential application in renewable hydrogen fuel generation

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin

Clean energy is highly needed at this time when the energy requirements are rapidly increasing. The observed increasing energy requirement are largely due to continued industrialization and global population explosion. The current means of energy source is ...

Optical metasurfaces: synthesis, nanofabrication, and colorful applications

Hsiang-Chu Wang

In this thesis, we mainly utilize silver to construct the meta-atoms. Although suffering from easily oxidized, its excellent lossless property throughout the visible range makes it suitable for study. When preserved properly, silver-made metasurfaces can s ...

cell2mol: encoding chemistry to interpret crystallographic data

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Sergio Vela Llausi, Yuri Cho, Rubén Laplaza Solanas

The creation and maintenance of crystallographic data repositories is one of the greatest data-related achievements in chemistry. Platforms such as the Cambridge Structural Database host what is likely the most diverse collection of synthesizable molecules ...

Binding affinity of p-PD-based schiff-bases towards human serum albumin; in-vitro and in-silico assessment

Kurt Schenk

The Schiff-bases [N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-benzene-1,4-diamine (L-1), N,N'-Bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-benzene-1,4-diamine (L-2), N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzylidene)-benzene-1,4-diamine (L-3), and N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxynaphthylidene)-benzene- ...

Magneto-optical study of metamagnetic transitions in the antiferromagnetic phase of alpha-RuCl3

Zhe Wang

alpha-RuCl3 is a promising candidate material to realize the so far elusive quantum spin liquid ground state. However, at low temperatures, the coexistence of different exchange interactions couple the effective pseudospins into an antiferromagnetically zi ...

Photo- and thermally-induced electronic and structural dynamics in perovskites and transition metal oxides

Oliviero Cannelli

In this thesis, we exploited optical and X-ray pump-probe methods in a synergistic approach to study the interplay of the electronic, spin and structural degrees of freedom in two class of complex systems relevant for solar energy conversion applications: ...

Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering Studies of Low-Dimensional and Frustrated 3d Transition-Metal Oxides

Yi Tseng

3d transition-metal oxide materials with strong electron correlations and low dimensionality give rise to emerging exotic phases. Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) has developed as a powerful spectroscopic tool for probing the collective excitatio ...
