Simulating Energy Relaxation in Pump-Probe Vibrational Spectroscopy of Hydrogen-Bonded Liquids

We introduce a nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation approach, based on the generalized Langevin equation, to study vibrational energy relaxation in pump probe spectroscopy. A colored noise thermostat is used to selectively excite a set of vibration ...

Electronic Levels of Excess Electrons in Liquid Water

Alfredo Pasquarello, Giacomo Francesco Leonardo Miceli, Francesco Ambrosio

We provide a consistent description of the electronic levels associated with localized and delocalized excess electrons in liquid water by combining hybrid-functional molecular dynamics simulations with a grand canonical formulation of solutes in aqueous s ...

Emergent transport in a many-body open system driven by interacting quantum baths

Vincenzo Savona, Eduardo Carlo Mascarenhas Moraes, Juris Reisons

We analyze an open many-body system that is strongly coupled at its boundaries to interacting quantum baths. We show that the two-body interactions inside the baths induce emergent phenomena in the spin transport. The system and baths are modeled as indepe ...

EEG topographies provide subject-specific correlates of motor control

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Silvestro Micera, Elvira Pirondini, Martina Coscia, Jesús Minguillón Campos

Electroencephalography (EEG) of brain activity can be represented in terms of dynamically changing topographies (microstates). Notably, spontaneous brain activity recorded at rest can be characterized by four distinctive topographies. Despite their well-es ...

Conservation et extension de la bibliothèque centrale de Lucerne

Chantal Blanc

En 1951, la bibliothèque centrale de Lucerne a été construite par Otto Dreyer. L'architecte arrange, dans un espace vert d'un quartier d'îlots, des volumes différents. Cette composition par addition est faite avec un jeu précis des volumes, positionnés ave ...

High variability in cross-shore thermally driven exchange

Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

The variability of cross-shore thermally driven exchange was examined using ensemble averages of observations from the Kilo Nalu Observatory on the south shore of Oahu Hawaii. The cross-shore vertical shear, top-bottom temperature difference, and cross-sho ...

Remotely Controlled Isomer Selective Molecular Switching

Klaus Kern, Hagen Klauk, Uta Schlickum, Peter Wahl, Ivan Pentegov, Verena Katharina Schendel

Non local addressing-the "remote control"- of molecular switches promises more efficient processing for information technology, where fast speed of switching is essential. The surface state of the (111) facets of noble metals, a confined two-dimensional el ...

Multiuser Random Coding Techniques for Mismatched Decoding

Jonathan Mark Scarlett, Albert Guillén i Fàbregas

This paper studies multiuser random coding techniques for channel coding with a given (possibly suboptimal) decoding rule. For the mismatched discrete memoryless multiple-access channel, an error exponent is obtained that is tight with respect to the ensem ...

Cooperative motion of a key positively charged residue and metal ions for DNA replication catalyzed by human DNA Polymerase-eta

Matteo Dal Peraro, Vito Genna

Trans-lesion synthesis polymerases, like DNA Polymerase-eta (Pol-eta), are essential for cell survival. Pol-eta bypasses ultraviolet-induced DNA damages via a two-metal-ion mechanism that assures DNA strand elongation, with formation of the leaving group p ...

Confinement and inhomogeneous broadening effects in the quantum oscillatory magnetization of quantum dot ensembles

Dirk Grundler, Florian Herzog

We report on the magnetization of ensembles of etched quantum dots with a lateral diameter of 460 nm, which we prepared from InGaAs/InP heterostructures. The quantum dots exhibit 1/B-periodic de-Haas–van-Alphen-type oscillations in the magnetization M(B) f ...
