Evidence for a spin acoustic surface plasmon from inelastic atom scattering
Closed-shell atoms scattered from a metal surface exchange energy and momentum with surface phonons mostly via the interposed surface valence electrons, i.e., via the creation of virtual electron-hole pairs. The latter can then decay into surface phonons v ...
2021Monte Carlo Modeling of Crystal Channeling at High Energies
Charged particles entering a crystal close to some preferred direction can be trapped in the electromagnetic potential well existing between consecutive planes or strings of atoms. This channeling effect can be used to extract beam particles if the crystal ...
EPFL2014Novel applications of poly(ethylene glycol)-bl-poly(propylene sulfide) block copolymers
Block copolymers are comprised of repeating chemical groups (blocks) which commonly contain at least one hydrophilic block coupled to at least one hydrophobic block, forming an amphipathic macromolecule. This molecular arrangement drives the self assembly ...
EPFL2008Photodissociation studies of CH3I and CF3I in fluid 4Helium nanodroplets
A novel experimental apparatus to study the dynamics of photodissociation and photoionization processes in the interior or at the surface of helium droplets by means of imaging techniques has been designed, built and characterized. This molecular beam mach ...
EPFL2004The remarkable difference between surface and step atoms in the magnetic anisotropy of two-dimensional nanostructures
Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Philipp Buluschek, Nicolas Weiss, Laurent Claude
The original magnetic properties of nanometre-sized particles are due to the distinct contributions of volume, surface and step atoms. To disentangle these contributions is an ongoing challenge of materials science. Here we introduce a method enabling the ...
