Vibrational Energy Redistribution in a Gas-Surface Encounter: State-to-State Scattering of CH4 from Ni(111)

Rainer Beck, Maarten Eduard van Reijzen, Bo-Jung Chen, Jörn Werdecker

The fate of vibrational energy in the collision of methane (CH4) in its antisymmetric C-H stretch vibration (ν3) with a Ni(111) surface has been studied in a state-to-state scattering experiment. Laser excitation in the incident molecular beam prepared the ...

Solvent fluctuations and nuclear quantum effects modulate the molecular hyperpolarizability of water

Michele Ceriotti, Sylvie Roke, David Mark Wilkins, Andrea Grisafi, Gabriele Tocci, Chung-Wen Liang

Second-harmonic scattering (SHS) experiments provide a unique approach to probe noncentrosymmetric environments in aqueous media, from bulk solutions to interfaces, living cells, and tissue. A central assumption made in analyzing SHS experiments is that ea ...

First-principles calculation of lattice thermal conductivity in crystalline phase change materials: GeTe, Sb2Te3, and Ge2Sb2Te5

Davide Campi, Lorenzo Paulatto, Giorgia Fugallo

Thermal transport is a key feature for the operation of phase change memory devices which rest on a fast and reversible transformation between the crystalline and amorphous phases of chalcogenide alloys upon Joule heating. In this paper we report on the ab ...

Vibrational energy transfer near a dissociative adsorption transition state: State-to-state study of HCl collisions at Au(111)

In this work we seek to examine the nature of collisional energy transfer between HCl and Au(111) for nonreactive scattering events that sample geometries near the transition state for dissociative adsorption by varying both the vibrational and translation ...

State-to-state scattering of CH₄ from Ni(111) and Gr/Ni(111)

Maarten Eduard van Reijzen

In this thesis, I describe the design and implementation of the first state-to-state surface scattering experiments for methane from clean single crystalline surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum. The experiments use infrared laser pumping to prepare the incident C ...

Investigation of interactions in two-dimensional electron gases with angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy

Carola Strasser

In this thesis, angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is used to study the electronic structure of different two-dimensional electron systems (2DES). This technique is very surface sensitive and the most direct method to probe the surface ban ...

Spin Texture of Bi2Se3 Thin Films in the Quantum Tunneling Limit

Jan Hugo Dil, Stefan Peter Muff

By means of spin- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy we studied the spin structure of thin films of the topological insulator Bi2Se3 grown on InP(111). For thicknesses below six quintuple layers the spin- polarized metallic topological surface s ...

Hydrogen adsorption in the metal-organic frameworks Fe2(dobdc) and Fe2(O2)(dobdc)

Wendy Lee Queen

The hydrogen storage properties of Fe2(dobdc) (dobdc4- = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) and an oxidized analog, Fe2(O2)(dobdc), have been examd. using several complementary techniques, including low-pressure gas adsorption, neutron powder diffractio ...

Helical fluctuations in the Raman response of the topological insulator Bi2Se3

Helmuth Berger, Kazimierz Conder

The topological insulator Bi2Se3 shows a Raman-scattering (RS) response related to topologically protected surface states amplified by a resonant interband transition. Most significantly this signal has a characteristic Lorentzian lineshape and spin-helica ...

Hydrogen storage properties of copper and silver exchanged zeolite SSZ-13

Wendy Lee Queen

Copper and silver cation-exchanged zeolite SSZ-13 present an interesting opportunity to study the mechanism of interaction of adsorbate gases, primarily hydrogen (H2), with the ion-exchange sites in zeolites as there is only one type of cation site, in con ...
