Long live(d) CsPbBr3 superlattices: colloidal atomic layer deposition for structural stability

Raffaella Buonsanti, Alexander Nicolas Chen, Philippe Benjamin Green, Victoria Lapointe

Superlattice formation afforded by metal halide perovskite nanocrystals has been a phenomenon of interest due to the high structural order induced in these self-assemblies, an order that is influenced by the surface chemistry and particle morphology of the ...

Seamless integration of design and Kirchhoff-Love shell analysis using analysis-suitable unstructured T-splines

Xiaodong Wei, Deepesh Toshniwal

Analysis-suitable T-splines (ASTS) including both extraordinary points and T-junctions are used to solve Kirchhoff-Love shell problems. Extraordinary points are required to represent surfaces with arbitrary topological genus. T-junctions enable local refin ...

Microfluidic Fabrication of Capsule Sensor Platform with Double-Shell Structure

Esther Amstad

Metal nanoparticles are frequently employed for the colorimetric detection of specific target molecules using an aggregation-induced shift of the localized surface plasmon resonance. However, metal nanoparticles dispersed in bulk solutions are prone to be ...

Cross-talk between emulsion drops: how are hydrophilic reagents transported across oil phases?

Bart Deplancke, Gianluca Nicolas Etienne, Esther Amstad, Antoine Claude Jean Vian, Marjan Biocanin

Emulsion drops are frequently used as vessels, for example, to conduct biochemical reactions in small volumes or to perform screening assays at high throughputs while consuming minimal sample volumes. These applications typically require drops that do not ...

Unexpected Insights about Cation-Exchange on Metal Oxide Nanoparticles and Its Effect on Their Magnetic Behavior

Davide Deiana

Tuning the magnetic behavior of nanoparticles via the control of their features has always been challenging because these features are mostly intertwined. In the last years, a novel synthetic approach based on cation-exchange has been reported, and one of ...

Surface passivation and self-regulated shell growth in selective area-grown GaN-(Ale,Ga)N core-shell nanowires

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Luca Francaviglia

The large surface-to-volume ratio of GaN nanowires implicates sensitivity of the optical and electrical properties of the nanowires to their surroundings. The implementation of an (Al, Ga) N shell with a larger band gap around the GaN nanowire core is a pr ...

Reducing the shell thickness of double emulsions using microfluidics

Esther Amstad, Antoine Claude Jean Vian

Double emulsion drops are well-suited templates to produce capsules whose dimensions can be conveniently tuned by adjusting those of the drops. To closely control the release kinetics of encapsulants, the composition and thickness of the capsule shell must ...

Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur Co-Doped Hollow Carbon Shell as Superior Metal-Free Catalyst for Selective Oxidation of Aromatic Alkanes

Shuliang Yang, Li Peng

Metal-free heteroatom-doped carbocatalysts with a high surface area are desirable for catalytic reactions. In this study, we found an efficient strategy to prepare nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur co-doped hollow carbon shells (denote as NPS-HCS) with a su ...

Single-top t-channel production with off-shell and non-resonant effects

Valentin Hirschi

This Letter details and discusses the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to t-channel electro-weak W(+)bj production, where finite top-width effects are consistently taken into account. The computation is done within the AMC@NLO framework and includes b ...

Concrete shells – Towards efficient structures: Construction of an ellipsoidal concrete shell in Switzerland

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Concrete shells have been widely used in the past as economical and suitable solutions for a number of structures such as roofs, silos, cooling towers or offshore platforms. Taking advantage of their single or double curvature, bending moments and shear fo ...

Four-lepton production at hadron colliders: aMC@NLO predictions with theoretical uncertainties

Valentin Hirschi, Paolo Torrielli

We use aMC@NLO to study the production of four charged leptons at the LHC, performing parton showers with both HERWIG and PYTHIA6. Our underlying matrix element calculation features the full next-to-leading order O(alpha(S)) result and the O(alpha(2)(S)) c ...

A PSDT shell finite element formulation including structural damping

Thomas Gmür, Alain Schorderet, Marco Matter, Joël Cugnoni

This paper describes efficient C-0-compatible finite elements for modelling structurally damped laminated composite plates and shells under harmonic vibrations. Based upon a shear deformation theory of any order p (PSDT), the elements are well adapted for ...

Increase in the Curie temperature and magnetic anisotropy in FePd/Pt-iron oxide core-shell nanoparticles

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez

Partially oxidized fcc FePd and FePt nanoparticles with mean diameters of 5 and 3 nm, respectively, were synthesized by a reverse micelle polyol process. In situ measurements of magnetic and structural properties during annealing showed a large increase in ...

Inkjet-Printed Multicolor Arrays of Highly Luminescent Nanocrystal-Based Nanocomposites

Jürgen Brugger, Vahid Fakhfouri, Joo Yeon Kim

Inkjet technology is a compelling method for the flexible and cost-effective printing of functional inks. We show that nanocomposite solutions based on polystyrene and differently sized core/shell-type nanocrystals (NCs) formed by a CdSe core coated with a ...
