Electromagnetic processes of nuclear excitation: from direct photoabsorption to free electron and muon capture
In the vast expanse of the Universe and on our planet, nuclei exist in a state of excitement. These excited nuclear states (isomers) can persist for varying periods, from fractions of a second to billions of years and beyond, before decaying to their groun ...
EPFL2023Seismic Assessment of a Masonry Church and Retrofitting Propositions. Case study of the Kapela Sveti Nikola in Petrinja
The seismic assessment of historical unreinforced masonry buildings is a challenging task, because of their vulnerability to earthquakes and the uncertainties about the material properties. This work studies the case of the Kapela Sveti Nikola, a chapel in ...

David Lyndon Emsley, Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Michael Allan Hope, Federico De Biasi, Saumya Badoni, Aaron James Rossini, Dominik Józef Kubicki, Jonas Milani, Moreno Lelli, Gabriele Stevanato, Aditya Mishra, Claudia Esther Avalos
Low sensitivity is the primary limitation to extendingnuclearmagnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to more advanced chemical andstructural studies. Photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization(photo-CIDNP) is an NMR hyperpolarization technique where ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2023Nuclear quantum effects at aqueous metal interfaces captured by molecular dynamics simulations
In this review, we summarize the recent development in modeling nuclear quantum effects at aqueous metal interfaces. First, we review the nuclear quantum effects on the water-metal interface at ultrahigh vacuum. Then, we illustrate the nuclear quantum effe ...
ELSEVIER2022Magnetic Properties of Surface Adsorbed Metal Adatoms and Dimers
This thesis investigates the magnetic properties of single atoms and dimers adsorbed on graphene and oxide decoupling layers supported by single crystal metal substrates, using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spin-polarized scanning tunneling micro ...
EPFL2022Dynamical Control of Nuclear Isomer Depletion via Electron Vortex Beams
Fabrizio Carbone, Simone Gargiulo
Some nuclear isomers are known to store a large amount of energy over long periods of time, with a very high energy-to-mass ratio. Here, we describe a protocol to achieve the external control of the isomeric nuclear decay by using electron vortex beams who ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2022Measuring the Intra-Atomic Exchange Energy in Rare-Earth Adatoms
Harald Brune, François Patthey, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta
We present the first experimental determination of the intra-atomic exchange energy between the inner 4f and the outer 6s5d shells in rare-earth elements. Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy on individual rare-earth atoms adsorbed on metal-supported ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2020Low-energy excitations in type-II Weyl semimetal T-d-MoTe2 evidenced through optical conductivity
Molybdenum ditelluride, MoTe2, is a versatile material where the topological phase can be readily tuned by manipulating the associated structural phase transition. The fine details of the band structure of MoTe2, key to understanding its topological proper ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2020A Weak Form Implementation of Nonlinear Axisymmetric Shell Equations With Examples
Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Matteo Pezzulla
We present a weak form implementation of the nonlinear axisymmetric shell equations. This implementation is suitable to study the nonlinear deformations of axisymmetric shells, with the capability of considering a general mid-surface shape, non-homogeneous ...
2019To bend or not to bend, the dilemma of multiple bonds
Beyond the second row of the periodic table, the nature of the multiple bonds between the elements of the main groups remains yet elusive, and "non-classical" bonding schemes are often invoked for their description. Here, focusing on group 14, we have perf ...
