The exceptional enhancement of Raman scattering by localized plasmonic resonances in the near field of metallic nanoparticles, surfaces or tips (SERS, TERS) has enabled spectroscopic fingerprinting down to the single molecule level. The conventional explan ...
This thesis deals with the supramolecular organization of chiral aminoacids and dipeptides on metal surfaces. The emergence of homochirality in biomolecular systems is one of the most intriguing open questions of Nature. The self-assembly and amplification ...
Periodic cellular configurations with negative Poisson's ratio have attracted the attention of several researchers because of their superior dynamic characteristics. Among the geometries featuring a negative Poisson's ratio, the chiral topology possesses a ...

Many processes in chemistry and physics rely on the structure, growth or change of material buried in solids. The impenetrable surrounding medium often prohibits the study of such material in situ. Nonlinear light scattering can be used to observe the inte ...
Organometallic ruthenium(II) arene complexes containing the PTA ligand ([Ru(eta(6)-arene)Cl-2(PTA)], PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo-[3.3.1.1] decane, termed RAPTA) show pharmacologically relevant antitumour properties in vitro. Two new enantiomeric p ...
High-energy pulses at 1.28 mu m are demonstrated by stimulated Raman scattering using two chirped pulses of a Ti:Sapphire laser in hydrogen. The Stokes pulse carrying record-high energy of 4.4 mJ is recompressed to 80 fs. ...
A systematic study of the Raman spectra of Pb(Zr1-xTix)O-3 (PZT) ceramics has been performed in a broad temperature interval (10-600 K) and a broad Ti/Zr concentration range around the morphotropic phase boundary (x = 0.25-0.70). The number of the spectral ...
The manuscript reports the outcome of investigations on the phononic properties of a chiral cellular structure. The considered geometry features in-plane hexagonal symmetry, whereby circular nodes are connected through six ligaments tangent to the nodes th ...
A new spin on C60: Axially chiral, pushpull buta-1,3-diene chromophores conjugated to vicinally methylated fullerenes (see picture) have high barriers of rotation about their chiral axes. These high barriers allowed their optical resolution and the determi ...
New enantiomerically pure alleno-acetylenic macrocycles were prepd. by oxidative homocoupling of optically active 1,3-diethynylallenes. Enantiomer sepn. resulted from a combined strategy of synthesis and chiral HPLC techniques. Two other achiral stereoisom ...
