Solving native structures of such large molecules, like biomolecules, is often challenging, particularly due to the potentially infinite number of non-covalent interactions with water. In this thesis, we report the use of cold ion gas-phase action spectros ...
We present an alternative to conventional Electron the use of bulky magnets and magnetron equipment, we use the photoluminescence of an ensemble of Nitrogen-Vacancy centers at the surface of a diamond. Monitoring their relaxation time (or T1), we detected ...
Small-scale dynamos play important roles in modern astrophysics, especially on galactic and extragalactic scales. Owing to dynamo action, purely hydrodynamic Kolmogorov turbulence hardly exists and is often replaced by hydromagnetic turbulence. Understandi ...
In the study of small molecule ligands and candidate macromolecular targets, water spins in long-lived association with macromolecules (proteins or nanoparticles) constitute a remarkable source of magneti-zation that can be exploited to reveal ligand-targe ...
Phase transitions and related anelastic effects are examined in Fe-xGa alloys (x =19 and 27 at.%) by means of in situ neutron diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry, dilatometry, and three different mechanical spectroscopy techniques: torsion forced pe ...
Phase transitions in AuCu alloy are investigated using in situ temperature XRD and mechanical spectroscopy. The measurements are carried out from room temperature up to 973 K starting from the ordered phase AuCuI. Using a temperature ramp rate of 1 K/min, ...
This review paper shows that grain boundary sliding (GBS) is a general phenomenon occurring in all classes of inorganic materials: ceramics, metals and composite materials. The occurrence of relaxations attributed to GBS is also quite general and therefore ...
Cemented carbides are widely used in the cutting tools industry for their mechanical properties. They are composite materials made of hard tungsten carbide grains jointed together by a ductile cobalt binder. Due to the extreme conditions of use of the tool ...
This paper presents a low power microwave oscillator designed as sensor for electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Low power consumption is necessary for low temperature operation. Additionally, lower power consumption allows for a lower microwave mag ...
Near-perfect absorption across the entire VIS based on metallic nano-composite materials was realized experimentally by Hedayati et.al. in 2011 and optimized based on simulations by Etrich et.al. in 2014. However, both works did not reveal the mechanisms t ...
