Beyond the coupled distortion model: structural analysis of the single domain cupredoxin AcoP, a green mononuclear copper centre with original features

Cupredoxins are widely occurring copper-binding proteins with a typical Greek-key beta barrel fold. They are generally described as electron carriers that rely on a T1 copper centre coordinated by four ligands provided by the folded polypeptide. The discov ...

Diversity of radial spin textures in chiral materials

Oleg Yazyev, Daniel Gosalbez Martinez, Alberto Crepaldi

We introduce a classification of the radial spin textures in momentum space that emerge at the high-symmetry points in crystals characterized by nonpolar chiral point groups (D2, D3, D4, D6, T, O). Based on the symmetry constraints imposed by these point g ...

Quantifying the Solution Structure of Metal Nanoclusters Using Small-Angle Neutron Scattering

Francesco Stellacci, Stefan Guldin, Ye Yang, Zhi Luo, Huayan Yang

Metal nanoclusters are a unique class of synthetic material, as their crystal structures can be resolved using X-ray diffraction, and their chemical formula can be precisely determinated from mass spectroscopy. However, a complete structure characterizatio ...

Experimental Analysis of Ductile Cutting Regime in Face Milling of Sintered Silicon Carbide

Lorenz Hagelüken

In this study, sintered silicon carbide is machined on a high-precision milling machine with a high-speed spindle, closed-loop linear drives and friction-free micro gap hydrostatics. A series of experiments was undertaken varying the relevant process param ...

Induced giant piezoelectricity in centrosymmetric oxides

Paul Muralt, Dragan Damjanovic, Vasiliki Tileli, Mahmoud Hadad, Lukas Riemer, Daesung Park

Piezoelectrics are materials that linearly deform in response to an applied electric field. As a fundamental prerequisite, piezoelectric materials must have a noncentrosymmetric crystal structure. For more than a century, this has remained a major obstacle ...

Shear and Breathing Modes of Layered Materials

Nicola Marzari, Giovanni Pizzi, Marco Gibertini

Layered materials (LMs), such as graphite, hexagonal boron nitride, and transition-metal dichalcogenides, are at the center of an ever-increasing research effort, due to their scientific and technological relevance. Raman and infrared spectroscopies are ac ...

Buffered Coordination Modulation as a Means of Controlling Crystal Morphology and Molecular Diffusion in an Anisotropic Metal-Organic Framework

Berend Smit, Sudabeh Jawahery

Significant advances have been made in the synthesis of chemically selective environments within metal-organic frameworks, yet materials development and industrial implementation have been hindered by the inability to predictively control crystallite size ...

Quantum spin liquid phases in the bilinear-biquadratic two-SU(4)-fermion Hamiltonian on the square lattice

Olivier Clément Romain Gauthé

We consider the phase diagram of the most general SU(4)-symmetric two-site Hamiltonian for a system of two fermions per site (i.e., self-conjugate 6 representation) on the square lattice. It is known that this model hosts magnetic phases breaking SU(4) sym ...

Cracks, porosity and microstructure of Ti modified polymer-derived SiOC revealed by absorption-, XRD- and XRF-contrast 2D and 3D imaging

Jürgen Brugger, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicola Casati, Lorenz Hagelüken

Morphology, phase composition, cracks and porosity are investigated in monolithic Ti modified SiOC polymer-derived ceramics pyrolyzed at 1000°C and 1400°C using synchrotron X-ray full field absorption- contrast tomographic microscopy and scanning XRF- and ...

Magnetic-field-induced reorientation in the spin-density-wave and the spin-stripe phases of the frustrated spin-1/2 chain compound beta-TeVO4

Helmuth Berger

beta-TeVO4 is a frustrated spin-1/2 zig-zag chain system, where spin-density-wave (SDW), vector-chiral (VC) and an exotic dynamic spin-stripe phase compete at low temperatures. Here we use torque magnetometry to study the anisotropy of these phases in magn ...
