Size Limitations for the Formation of Ordered Striped Nanoparticles

Francesco Stellacci, Randy Patrick Carney, Jiwon Kim

A combination of immiscible molecules in the ligand shell of a gold nanoparticle (NP) has been shown to phase separate into a rippled structure; this phase separation can be used to direct the assembly of the NPs into chains. Here we demonstrate that only ...

Effect of rare-gas adsorption on the spin-orbit split bands of a surface alloy: Xe on Ag(111)-(root 3 x root 3) R30 degrees-Bi

Marco Grioni, Christian Reinhard Ast, Luca Moreschini

We have investigated by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy changes induced by Xe adsorption on the spin-orbit-split bands of the epitaxial Ag(111) (root 3x root 3)R30 degrees-Bi surface alloy. We observe an extensive backfolding of the alloy band st ...

Towards the Rational Design of MRI Contrast Agents: Electron Spin Relaxation Is Largely Unaffected by the Coordination Geometry of Gadolinium(III)-DOTA-Type Complexes

Lothar Helm, Alain Borel, Loïck Moriggi

Electron-spin relaxation is one of the determining factors in the efficacy of MRI contrast agents. Of all the parameters involved in determining relaxivity it remains the least well understood, particularly as it relates to the structure of the complex. On ...

Highly efficient MRI contrast agents

Loïck Moriggi

Since contrasts agents are used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), numerous efforts have been done to increase their relaxivity (parameter allowing to quantify contrast agent efficiency). Few years ago, the Merbach group developed the chelating agent DTT ...

Spin-orbit split two-dimensional electron gas with tunable Rashba and Fermi energy

Klaus Kern, Marco Grioni, Luca Moreschini, Daniela Pacilè

We demonstrate that it is possible to tune the Rashba energy, introduced by a strong spin-orbit splitting, and the Fermi energy in a two-dimensional electron gas by a controlled change of stoichiometry in an artificial surface alloy. In the BixPb1-x/Ag(111 ...

Energy levels of a two-dimensional hydrogen atom with spin-orbit Rashba interaction

Claudio Grimaldi

Electronic bound states around charged impurities in two-dimensional systems with structural inversion asymmetry can be described in terms of a two-dimensional hydrogen atom in the presence of a Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Here, the energy levels of the ...

Local detection of spin-orbit splitting by scanning tunneling spectroscopy

Klaus Kern, Marco Grioni, Luca Moreschini, Daniela Pacilè, Peter Wahl

We demonstrate that the spin-orbit coupling of two-dimensional surface states can be detected locally by scanning-tunneling spectroscopy (STS). The spin splitting of the surface state induces a singularity in the local density of states which can be detect ...

In silico DNA-binding and rational design of ruthenium-arene anticancer drugs

Christian Gossens

Organometallic ruthenium(II)-arene (RA) antitumour compounds of the general type [Ru(II)(η6-arene)(X)2(pta)], RA-pta, and [Ru(II)(η6-arene)X(en)], RA-en, (X=leaving group; pta=1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane, en=ethylenediamine) have been investigated com ...

Periodic Green's function for skewed 3-D lattices using the Ewald transformation

Juan Ramon Mosig, Ivica Stevanovic

We apply the Ewald acceleration technique to the efficient evaluation of periodic Green's functions (GFs) for 3-D skewed lattices like those arising in electromagnetic/photonic band-gap (EBG/PBG) structures and metamaterials (MTMs). We develop the expressi ...

A Theoretical Characterization of Covalency in Rare Earth Complexes through Their Absorption Electronic Properties: f-f Transitions

Alain Borel

Experimental uncertainties concerning the coordination mode of trivalent plutonium in concentrated LiCl have led us to theoretically evaluate the f-f transitions of a series of rare earth aquo and chloro complexes. The calculation of Pr(III), U(III), Np(II ...
