Ru(II)-Arene Complexes of Curcumin and Bisdesmethoxycurcumin Metabolites

Paul Joseph Dyson, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Mouna Hadiji

Curcuminoids and their complexes continue to attract attention in medicinal chemistry, but little attention has been given to their metabolic derivatives. Here, the first examples of (arene)Ru(II) complexes with curcuminoid metabolites, tetrahydrocurcumin ...

Magnetic structure and magnetoelectric properties of the spin-flop phase in LiFePO4

Paola Caterina Forino, Ellen Fogh, Sofie Janas

We investigate the magnetic structure and magnetoelectric(ME) effect in the high -field phase of the antiferromagnet LiFePO 4 above the critical field of 31 T. A neutron diffraction study in pulsed magnetic fields reveals the propagation vector to be q = 0 ...

Shaped Laser Pulses for Microsecond Time-Resolved Cryo-EM: Outrunning Crystallization during Flash Melting

Marcel Drabbels, Ulrich Lorenz, Constantin Richard Krüger, Nathan Junior Mowry

Water vitrifies if cooled at rates above 3 × 105 K/s. In contrast, when the resulting amorphous ice is flash heated, crystallization occurs even at a more than 10 times higher heating rate, as we have recently shown. This may present an issue for microseco ...

Neurobiological and metabolic basis of motivation and effort-based decision-making - A human 1H-MRS, fMRI and machine learning study

Arthur Barakat

Motivation is a multifaceted phenomenon that we explore within the framework of decision-making. Through this cognitive process, actions are directed towards specific goals by performing a trade-off between the cost and benefit of an action. The dorsomedia ...

Flash Melting Amorphous Ice

Marcel Drabbels, Ulrich Lorenz, Gabriele Bongiovanni, Constantin Richard Krüger, Nathan Junior Mowry

Water can be vitrified if it is cooled at high rates, which makes it possible to outrun crystallization in so-called no man’s land, a range of deeply supercooled temperatures where water crystallizes rapidly. Here, we study the reverse process in pure wate ...

High brightness neutron source optimized for very high pulsed magnetic field experiments

Mina Akhyani

Conducting neutron scattering experiments in the presence of high pulsed magnetic fields, namely above 40 T, provides valuable information about the magnetic structures of materials. However, these experiments are challenging and time-consuming because the ...

NMR Crystallography in the Big Data Era: New Methods and Applications Powered by Machine Learning

Manuel Cordova

Structure determination of materials is key to understanding their physical properties. While single-crystal X-ray diffraction is the gold standard for structures displaying long-range order, many materials of interest are polycrystalline and/or disordered ...

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization of Inorganic Halide Perovskites

David Lyndon Emsley, Dominik Józef Kubicki, Aditya Mishra, Gabriele Stevanato, Michael Allan Hope

The intrinsic low sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments limits their utility for structure determination of materials. Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) under magic angle spinning (MAS) has shown tremendous potential to overcome this ...

Imaging Radial Distribution Functions of Complex Particles by Relayed Dynamic Nuclear Polarization

David Lyndon Emsley, Arthur César Pinon, Pierrick Berruyer

The physical properties of many modern multi-component materials are determined by their internal microstructure. Tools capable of characterizing complex nanoscale architectures in composite materials are, therefore, essential to design materials with targ ...

Towards optical MAS magnetic resonance using optical traps

Giovanni Boero, Jens Anders, Nergiz Sahin Solmaz, Reza Farsi

Higher magic angle spinning (MAS) frequencies than currently available are desirable to improve spectral resolution in NMR and EPR systems. While conventional strategies employ pneumatic spinning limited by fluid dynamics, this paper demonstrates the devel ...

Anomalous Hall effect and magnetic structure of the topological semimetal (Mn0.78Fe0.22)3Ge

Jian Rui Soh, Jan Persson

Me3+8Ge, being a Weyl semimetal, shows a large anomalous Hall effect (AHE), which decreases slowly with an increase in 8 from 0.1 to 0.4. However, AHE in this compound remains significantly large in the whole range of 8 because of the robust nature of the ...

Two-dimensional Pure Isotropic Proton Solid State NMR

David Lyndon Emsley, Manuel Cordova, Pinelopi Moutzouri, Bruno Simões de Almeida, Daria Torodii

One key bottleneck of solid-state NMR spectroscopy is that H-1 NMR spectra of organic solids are often very broad due to the presence of a strong network of dipolar couplings. We have recently suggested a new approach to tackle this problem. More specifica ...
