Context. We describe the atomic and molecular data that were used for the abundance analyses of FGK-type stars carried out within the Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey in the years 2012 to 2019. The Gaia-ESO Survey is one among several current and futur ...
EDP SCIENCES S A2021Ultrafast X-ray Spectroscopy of Heme Proteins
With the advent of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) time-resolved X-ray spectroscopic techniques have advanced to the femtosecond regime. These are element selective techniques which offer unique insight into the electronic and chemical environment and d ...
EPFL2020Shape staggering of midshell mercury isotopes from in-source laser spectroscopy compared with density-functional-theory and Monte Carlo shell-model calculations
Neutron-deficient Hg177-185 isotopes were studied using in-source laser resonance-ionization spectroscopy at the CERN-ISOLDE radioactive ion-beam facility in an experiment combining different detection methods tailored to the studied isotopes. These includ ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2019Chemical exchange at the ferroelectric phase transition of lead germanate revealed by solid state Pb-207 nuclear magnetic resonance
David Lyndon Emsley, Arnaud Magrez, Brennan James Walder, Jasmine Viger-Gravel, Claudia Esther Avalos
The nature of the dynamics and structural changes that take place at the ferroelectric phase transition in lead oxides is a rich field of study. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of Pb-207 is well suited to study the local structure and disorder ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2019Quantum state manipulation of single atom magnets using the hyperfine interaction
Harald Brune, François Patthey, Edgar Fernandes, Donat Fabian Natterer, Patrick Robert Forrester, Dante Philippe Sblendorio
The magnetic quantum states of holmium single atom magnets on MgO(100) have proven extremely robust when exposed to high magnetic fields and temperatures up to 35 K. Here we address the stability of Ho at small magnetic fields, where the hyperfine interact ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2019Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy with Superconducting Junctions
This thesis contains two major topics, the restriction of tunneling to only a few channels in the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and the interaction of local magnetic impurities with superconductivity. At a temperature of 15mK, the quantum back-action ...
EPFL2018Observation of the hyperfine spectrum of antihydrogen
The observation of hyperfine structure in atomic hydrogen by Rabi and co-workers(1-3) and the measurement(4) of the zero-field ground-state splitting at the level of seven parts in 10(13) are important achievements of mid-twentieth-century physics. The wor ...
Springer Nature2017Dimensional Reduction in Quantum Dipolar Antiferromagnets
Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Martin Mansson, Peter Babkevich, Ivan Kovacevic
We report ac susceptibility, specific heat, and neutron scattering measurements on a dipolar-coupled antiferromagnet LiYbF4. For the thermal transition, the order-parameter critical exponent is found to be 0.20(1) and the specific-heat critical exponent -0 ...
2016High-energy collective electronic excitations in layered transition-metal dichalcogenides
We characterize experimentally and theoretically the collective electronic excitations in two prototypical layered transition-metal dichalcogenides, NbSe2 and Cu0.2NbS2. The energy- and momentum-dependent dynamical structure factor was measured by inelasti ...
Amer Physical Soc2014Iterative deconvolution of quadrupole split NMR spectra
We propose a simple method to deconvolute NMR spectra of quadrupolar nuclei in order to separate the distribution of local magnetic hyperfine field from the quadrupole splitting. It is based on an iterative procedure which allows to express the intensity o ...
