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

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 ...

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

Arthur César Pinon, David Lyndon Emsley, 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 ...

Revealing the Structure of Tryptophan in Microhydrated Complexes by Cold Ion Spectroscopy

Oleg Boyarkine, Natalia Nagornova, Manuel Dömer, Andrei Zviagin, Ruslan Yamaletdinov

The geometry of biomolecules isolated in the gas phaseusuallydiffers substantially from their native structures in aqueous solution,which are the only ones truly relevant to life science. To connectthe high resolution of cold ion spectroscopy that can be a ...

Bridging Native and Intrinsic Structures of Microhydrated Biomolecules by Cold Ion Spectroscopy

Andrei Zviagin

Solving native structures of such large molecules, like biomolecules, is often challenging, particularly due to the potentially infinite number of non-covalent interactions with water. In this thesis, we report the use of cold ion gas-phase action spectros ...

Five-Membered Rings Create Off-Zero Modes in Nanographene

Oleg Yazyev, Kristians Cernevics, Ziyi Wang

The low-energy electronic structure of nanographenes can be tuned through zero-energy pi-electron states, typically referred to as zero-modes. Customizable electronic and magnetic structures have been engineered by coupling zero-modes through exchange and ...

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization of Inorganic Halide Perovskites

Dominik Józef Kubicki, David Lyndon Emsley, Gabriele Stevanato, Aditya Mishra, 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 ...

Deuterated TEKPol Biradicals and the Spin-Diffusion Barrier in MAS DNP

Dominik Józef Kubicki, David Lyndon Emsley, Yu Rao, Amrit Venkatesh, Federico De Biasi

The sensitivity of NMR spectroscopy is considerably enhanced by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). In DNP polarization is transferred from unpaired electrons of a polarizing agent to nearby proton spins. In solids, this transfer is followed by the transpo ...

Development of strategies to improve 1H resolution in NMR of solids at 100 kHz magic-angle spinning

Bruno Simões de Almeida

In solid-state NMR, homonuclear dipolar couplings contribute greatly to the broadening of 1H spectral line shapes. Even at the fastest magic-angle spinning rates (MAS) available today [100-150kHz], the linewidths still extend over several hundred Hertz, li ...

Hierarchy of the Components in Spray-Dried, Protein-Excipient Particles Using DNP-Enhanced NMR Spectroscopy

David Lyndon Emsley, Baptiste Busi, Pierrick Berruyer, Andrea Bertarello

Protein-based drugs are becoming increasingly important, but there are challenges associated with their formulation (for example, formulating stable inhalable aerosols while maintaining the proper long-term stability of the protein). Determining the morpho ...

Gas/Surface reactions probed by reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy

Harmina Vejayan

In my thesis, I present an investigation of the dissociation reactions of gas phase molecules on single crystal metal surfaces studied by a molecular beam in combination with Reflection Absorption Infrared Spectroscopy (RAIRS). Two gas/surface systems were ...

Valence Orbitals Driving the Spin Dynamics in a Rare-Earth Single-Atom Magnet

Harald Brune, François Patthey, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Dante Philippe Sblendorio, Alberto Curcella

We combine spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy with quantum master equation analysis to investigate the spin dynamics of the single atom magnet Dy on graphene/Ir(111). By performing reading and writing experiments, we show that the strongly spin p ...
