Viruses at solid-water interfaces: A systematic assessment of interactions driving adsorption

Related publications (61)

Indirect exposure to waterborne viruses increases risk of infection, especially amongst children with frequent hand-to-mouth contacts. Here, we quantified the transfer of one bacteriophage (MS2) and two enteric viruses (adenovirus and coxsackievirus) from ...

In the last two decades, linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (LR-TDDFT) has become one of the most widely used approaches for the computation of the excited-state properties of atoms and molecules. Despite its success in describing the ...

A series of functionalised imidazolium halide salts with substituents able to form pi-bonds have been prepared and characterised. Subsequent reaction of these imidazolium halides with Ag[C(CN)(3)] affords imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs), some of whic ...

Origin of the Strong Interaction between Polar Molecules and Copper(II) Paddle-Wheels in Metal Organic Frameworks

Berend Smit, Daniele Ongari, Davide Tiana

The copper paddle-wheel is the building unit of many metal organic frameworks. Because of the ability of the copper cations to attract polar molecules, copper paddle-wheels are promising for carbon dioxide adsorption and separation. They have therefore bee ...

Reservoir-induced decoherence of resonantly excited confined polaritons

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Daniel Oberli, François Morier-Genoud, Marcia Portella Oberli, Claudéric Ouellet-Plamondon, Grégory Chilpéric Sallen

We report on the effect of decoherence on polariton bistability. The polariton hysteresis loop is shown to collapse in a similar way when increasing the temperature or under nonresonant excitation power. The hysteresis upward threshold is pulled to lower e ...

Several aspects in the field of molecular self assembly are addressed in this thesis. Thanks to the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM), structural, electronic and magnetic properties on surfaces can be studied down to the size of a single atom. In this t ...

On-Surface Assembly and Reactions of Organic Molecules in Ultra-High Vacuum

Claudius Morchutt

This thesis comprises the study of two types of 2D materials, those stabilized by non-covalent and those by covalent interactions. They are synthesized and studied on well-defined metallic surfaces in ultra-high vacuum (UHV). The self-assembly of terephtha ...

Vibrational Signatures of Conformer-Specific Intramolecular Interactions in Protonated Tryptophan

Natalia Nagornova, Aleksandr Pereverzev

Because of both experimental and computational challenges, protonated tryptophan has remained the last aromatic amino acid for which the intrinsic structures of low-energy conformers have not been unambiguously solved. The IR-IR UV hole-burning spectroscop ...

Vibrational Response of Methylammonium Lead Iodide: From Cation Dynamics to Phonon-Phonon Interactions

Filippo de Angelis, Giulia Grancini

The dynamic evolution of the vibrational interactions in the prototypical CH3NH3PbI3 was studied through a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation with a focus on the interactions between the organic cations and the inorganic cage. To date ...

Intramolecular symmetry-adapted perturbation theory with a single-determinant wavefunction

Antonio Prlj, Jérôme Florian Gonthier, Ewa Maria Pastorczak

We introduce an intramolecular energy decomposition scheme for analyzing non-covalent interactions within molecules in the spirit of symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT). The proposed intra-SAPT approach is based upon the Chemical Hamiltonian of May ...
