Isotope Effects on the Electronic Spectra of Ammonia from Ab Initio Semiclassical Dynamics

Jiri Vanicek, Yannick Calvino Alonso, Eriks Kletnieks

Despite its simplicity, the single-trajectory thawed Gaussian approximation has proven useful for calculating the vibrationally resolved electronic spectra of molecules with weakly anharmonic potential energy surfaces. Here, we show that the thawed Gaussia ...

Reconfigurable nonreciprocal excitation of propagating exchange spin waves in perpendicularly magnetized yttrium iron garnet thin films

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Peng Chen, Jilei Chen, Jinlong Wang, Tao Liu, Rundong Yuan, Yu Zhang

We report the nonreciprocal excitation of propagating forward volume exchange spin waves in yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin film with perpendicular anisotropy by bringing the in-plane magnetization of Co20Fe60B20 (CoFeB) nanowires to resonance. All-electric ...

Nanomechanical resonators with low dissipation for quantum optomechanics

Alberto Beccari

Fields of technology as diverse as microwave filter construction, characterization of material interfaces with atomic precision, and detection of gravitational waves from astronomical sources employ mechanical resonators at their core. The utility of mecha ...

Distributed Lossy Computation with Structured Codes: From Discrete to Continuous Sources

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Adriano Pastore, Sung Hoon Lim, Chen Feng

This paper considers the problem of distributed lossy compression where the goal is to recover one or more linear combinations of the sources at the decoder, subject to distortion constraints. For certain configurations, it is known that codes with algebra ...

State-to-state surface scattering of methane studied by bolometric infrared laser tagging detection

Bo-Jung Chen

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 ...

Methylidyne Adsorption on Pt(211) Probed by Reflection Absorption Infrared Spectroscopy (RAIRS)

Rainer Beck, Ana Gutiérrez González, Harmina Vejayan

Methylidyne, CH(ads), adsorbed on a Pt(211) surface and its interaction with chemisorbed hydrogen atoms was studied by reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS). Methylidyne was formed on Pt(211) by methane dissociation from a molecular beam foll ...

Making Molecules Vibrate: Interactive Web Environment for the Teaching of Infrared Spectroscopy

Luc Patiny, Berend Smit, Kevin Maik Jablonka

Infrared spectroscopy (IR) is a staple structural elucidation and characterization technique because of its ability to identify functional groups and its ease of use. Interestingly, it allows the capture of electronic effects via their influence on the bon ...

Quantitative Analysis of Nanorough Hydrogenated Si(111) Surfaces through Vibrational Spectral Assignment by Periodic DFT Calculations br

Christophe Ballif, Stefaan De Wolf, Jakub Holovsky

In this work, we use periodic density functional theory(periodic DFT) to rigorously assign vibrational spectra measured on nanorough wet-processed hydrogenated Si(111) surfaces. We compare Si(111)-(1x1) surfaces etched by dilute HF and NH4F, featuring two ...

Structures of the (Imidazole)(n)H+ ... Ar (n=1,2,3) complexes determined from IR spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations

Valeriu Scutelnic

Here, we present new cryogenic infrared spectra of the (Imidazole) H-n(+) (n=1,2,3) ions. The data was obtained using helium tagging infrared predissociation spectroscopy. The new results were compared with the data obtained by Gerardi et al. (Chem. Phys. ...
