The single-atom bit represents the ultimate limit of the classical approach to high-density magnetic storage media. So far, the smallest individually addressable bistable magnetic bits have consisted of 3-12 atoms(1-3). Long magnetic relaxation times have ...
Organometallic multi-decker sandwich complexes containing f-elements remain rare, despite their attractive magnetic and electronic properties. The reduction of the Ce-III siloxide complex, [KCeL4] (1; L = OSi(OtBu)(3)), with excess potassium in a THF/tolue ...
Contrairement à l'axe ferroviaire Lausanne-Genève, l'axe Lausanne-Yverdon n'a pas encore fait l'objet de nombreux projets de développement. Cette voie dessert trois arrêts principaux: Bussigny, Cossonay-Penthalaz et Chavornay, dont l'attrait découle princi ...
Coordination-directed self-assembly has become a well-established technique for the construction of functional supramolecular structures. In contrast to the most often exploited transition metals, trivalent lanthanides Ln(III) have been less utilized in th ...
We investigate the composition and temperature (10-450 K) dependence of the Yb valence in YbMn6Ge6-xSnx (x = 0.0, 3.8, 4.2, 4.4, and 5.5) using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). The observed change in the Yb valence with composition (from v simil ...
Complexes of lanthanide (III) ions have been used in structural studies of biomolecules and as contrast agents (CA). Clinically approved CAs have only one water molecule in their first coordination sphere. Structure and water exchange rate of these complex ...
Materials based on a combination of cerium-tungsten-titanium are potentially durable catalysts for selective catalytic NOx reduction using NH3 (NH3-SCR). Flame-spray synthesis is used here to produce WO3/CeOx-TiO2 nanoparticles, which are characterized wit ...
Optical imaging emerges as a vital component of the various techniques needed to meet the stringent requirements of modern bioanalysis and bioimaging. Lanthanide luminescent bioprobes (LLBs) have greatly contributed to this field during the past 35 years b ...
Single-ion magnets (SIMs) are mononuclear molecular complexes exhibiting slow relaxation of magnetization. They are currently attracting a lot of interest because of potential applications in spintronics and quantum information processing. However, exploit ...
A few years ago, single molecule Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscope (FRET SNOM) images were demonstrated using CdSe semiconductor nanocrystal-dye molecules as donor-acceptor pairs. Corresponding experiments reveal ...
