Functionalization of harmonic nanoparticles for drug release and multimodal imaging applications

Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide, and as knowledge of the disease continues to grow there is an increasing interest towards precision medicine: more specifically towards the theranostics field, i.e the development of targeted molecular ...

GeSn as next-generation material for short-wave infrared single-photon detection

Andrea Giunto

In recent years, the automotive industry has aspired to bring self-driving vehicles to the general public and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors have emerged as the preferred solution for car vision systems. At present, LiDAR technologies employ e ...

Influence of Hf on the heat treatment response of additively manufactured Ni-base superalloy CM247LC

Roland Logé, Jamasp Jhabvala, Christian Leinenbach, Hossein Ghasemi Tabasi, Shreyas Sanjay Joglekar

The influence of Hf on the heat treatment response of a Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) fabricated Ni-base superalloy was investigated. A Hf-free version of CM247LC, CM247LC NHf, and CM247LC (similar to 1.4 wt% Hf) were subjected to identical thermal treat ...

Gate Control of Spin-Layer-Locking FETs and Application to Monolayer LuIO

Nicola Marzari, Antimo Marrazzo, Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier, Rong Zhang

A recent 2D spinFET concept proposes to switch electrostatically between two separate sublayers with strong and opposite intrinsic Rashba effects, exploiting the spin-layer-locking mechanism in centrosymmetric materials with local dipole fields. Here, we p ...

Core-Valence Attosecond Transient Absorption Spectroscopy of Polyatomic Molecules

Jiri Vanicek, Nikolay Golubev

Tracing ultrafast processes induced by interaction of light with matter is often very challenging. In molecular systems, the initially created electronic coherence becomes damped by the slow nuclear rearrangement on a femtosecond timescale which makes real ...

Design of Ductile Rare-Earth-Free Magnesium Alloys

William Curtin, Binglun Yin, Zhaoxuan Wu, Rasool Ahmad

Pure Mg has low ductility due to a transition of < c+a > pyramidal dislocations to a sessile basal-oriented structure. Dilute alloying generally improves ductility. Enhancement of pyramidal cross-slip from the lower-energy pyramidal II plane to the higher- ...

Local structural investigation of hafnia-zirconia polymorphs in powders and thin films by X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Reinis Ignatans

Despite increasing attention for the recently found ferro- and antiferroelectric properties, the polymorphism in hafnia- and zirconia-based thin films is still not sufficiently understood. In the present work, we show that it is important to have a good qu ...

Quantifying residual hydrogen adsorption in low-temperature STMs

Harald Brune, François Patthey, Donat Fabian Natterer

We report on low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy observations demonstrating that individual Ti atoms on hexagonal boron nitride dissociate and adsorb hydrogen without measurable reaction barrier. The clean and hydrogenated states of the adatoms a ...

Dispersion engineering of thick high-Q silicon nitride ring-resonators via atomic layer deposition

Tobias Kippenberg, Victor Brasch, Tobias Herr

We demonstrate dispersion engineering of integrated silicon nitride based ring resonators through conformal coating with hafnium dioxide deposited on top of the structures via atomic layer deposition. Both, magnitude and bandwidth of anomalous dispersion c ...

Tribocorrosion behavior of beta titanium alloys in physiological solutions containing synovial components

Stefano Mischler

In this work, the tribocorrosion behavior of Ti-12.5Mo, Ti-13Nb-13Zr and Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr beta titanium alloys which are candidate biomaterials for joint prostheses is studied against ultra high molecular weight polyethylene in Hank's balanced salt solut ...

Proton Diffusion in Amorphous SiO2 and Hafnium Silicate by Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics

Alfredo Pasquarello

We study proton diffusion in amorphous SiO2 and hafnium silicates at the atomic scale. In amorphous SiO2, ab initio molecular dynamics suggest that the dominant atomic process consists in cross-ring interoxygen hopping assisted by network vibrations. In ha ...

Band gaps and dielectric constants of amorphous hafnium silicates: A first-principles investigation

Alfredo Pasquarello, Peter Broqvist

Electronic band gaps and dielectric constants are obtained for amorphous hafnium silicates using first-principles methods. Models of amorphous (HfO2)(x)(SiO2)(1-x) for varying x are generated by ab initio molecular dynamics. The calculations show that the ...

Tuning the decay time of lanthanide-based near infrared luminescence from micro- to milliseconds through d->f energy transfer in discrete heterobimetallic complexes

Jean-Claude Bünzli

Inert and optically active pseudo-octahedral CrIIIN6 and RuIIN6 chromophores have been incorporated by self-assembly into heterobimetallic triple-stranded helicates HHH-[CrLnL3]6+ and HHH-[RuLnL3]5+. The crystal structures of CrLnL36 (Ln=Nd, Eu, ...
