Development and characterization of electrochromic oxide and ion conductor deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering

Andreas Schueler, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard, Djamel Eddine Mansour

In order to modulate the solar gains of a building, electrochromic windows can be used. To improve their durability, inorganic solid state electrolytes are considered. This work reports on the investigation of tungsten trioxide (WO3) and lithium phosphorou ...

First-principles calculation of lattice thermal conductivity in crystalline phase change materials: GeTe, Sb2Te3, and Ge2Sb2Te5

Davide Campi, Lorenzo Paulatto, Giorgia Fugallo

Thermal transport is a key feature for the operation of phase change memory devices which rest on a fast and reversible transformation between the crystalline and amorphous phases of chalcogenide alloys upon Joule heating. In this paper we report on the ab ...

Thermodynamic anomaly above the superconducting critical temperature in the quasi-one-dimensional superconductorTa4Pd3Te16

Philip Johannes Walter Moll

We study the intrinsic electronic anisotropy and fermiology of the quasi-one-dimensional superconductor Ta4Pd3Te16. Below T∗=20 K, we detect a thermodynamic phase transition that predominantly affects the conductivity perpendicular to the quasi-one-dimensi ...

Hard-sphere displacive model of deformation twinning in hexagonal close-packed metals. Revisiting the case of the (56, a) contraction twins in magnesium

Cyril Cayron

Contraction twinning in magnesium alloys leads to new grains that are misoriented from the parent grain by a rotation (56°, a). The classical shear theory of deformation twinning does not specify the atomic displacements and does not explain why contractio ...

Advanced Plasmonic Nanostructures for Engineering Fluorescence Applications

Xiaolong Wang

The appeal of plasmonics lies in the unique properties of coinage metal nanoparticles to strongly confine and enhance electromagnetic fields at the subwavelength. A simple 50 nm colloidal plasmonic particle can not only break the classical diffraction limi ...

Implications of the DFT plus U method on polaron properties in energy materials

Amina Matt

To model polaronic behavior in strongly correlated transition-metal oxideswith ab initio methods, one typically requires a level of theory beyond that of local density or general gradient density functional theory (DFT) approximations to account for the st ...

Natural inspirations for metal–ligand cooperative catalysis

Xile Hu, Matthew Wodrich

In conventional homogeneous catalysis, supporting ligands act as spectators that do not interact directly with substrates. However, in metal–ligand cooperative catalysis, ligands are involved in facilitating reaction pathways that would be less favourable ...

Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Enantiotopic C-HActivation Enables Access to P-Chiral Cyclic Phosphinamides

Nicolai Cramer, Yang Sun

Compounds with stereogenic phosphorus atoms are frequently used as ligands for transition-metal as well as organocatalysts. A direct catalytic enantioselective method for the synthesis of P-chiral compounds from easily accessible diaryl phosphinamides is p ...

Experimental campaign on thin RC columns prone to out-of-plane instability: numerical simulation using shell element models

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Angelica Rosso, Lisandro Arturo Jimenez Roa

Construction of multi-storey reinforced concrete (RC) wall buildings in areas of moderate to high seismicity has become a common practice in several Latin-American countries such as Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Mexico. The large material cost has led to the ...
