Slow Charge Carrier Relaxation in Gold Nanoparticles

Majed Chergui, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Malte Oppermann, Lars-Hendrik Mewes, Lijie Wang, Benjamin Bauer, Davood Zare

We report on ultrafast transient absorption (TA) studies of surface plasmon-excited similar to 25 nm-diameter Au nanoparticles in solution, monitoring the response of the surface plasmon resonance in the visible region (1.7-3.0 eV) and that of the inter- a ...

Cooling dynamics of electrons in MAPbBr(3) probed in the deep-UV

Majed Chergui, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Malte Oppermann, Peter Chen, Lijie Wang, Yu-Hsien Chiang

Transient absorption in the Visible and in the deep-UV is performed on MAPbBr(3) thin films with 3.1 eV pump excitation. The UV probe can access higher order transitions in the material exploring different high-symmetry points of the Brillouin zone. Uncorr ...

Intracellular bacteria engage a STING-TBK1-MVB12b pathway to enable paracrine cGAS-STING signalling

Andrea Ablasser, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Bing Zhang, Alix Martin, Ensieh Farahani

The innate immune system is crucial for eventual control of infections, but may also contribute to pathology. Listeria monocytogenes is an intracellular Gram-positive bacteria and a major cause of food-borne disease. However, important knowledge on the int ...

X-ray absorption linear dichroism at the Ti K edge of anatase TiO2 single crystals

Majed Chergui, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Dominik Kinschel, Oliviero Cannelli, Jérémy Raymond Jean Maurice Rouxel

Anatase TiO2 (a-TiO2) exhibits a strong x-ray absorption linear dichroism in the pre-edge, the XANES and the EXAFS at the titanium K edge. In the pre-edge region, the behavior of the A1-A3 and B peaks originating from the 1s - 3d transitions is due to the ...

Ultrafast broadband circular dichroism in the deep ultraviolet

Majed Chergui, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Malte Oppermann, Benjamin Bauer, Jérôme Lacour

The measurement of chirality and its temporal evolution are crucial for the understanding of a large range of biological functions and chemical reactions. Steady-state circular dichroism (CD) is a standard analytical tool for measuring chirality in chemist ...
