The activation of small molecule is a topic of high current interest. A variety of homogeneous end heterogeneous catalysts have been studied to be able to promote chemical transformation of industrial relevance under mild condition and therefore decrease t ...
The fabrication of defined and high-quality metal nanostructures is an ongoing topic of research. Direct-write deposition of copper nanostructures is of great value for many fields of research and industrial applications. Focused electron beam induced depo ...
The need for efficient and selective catalysts, capable of driving important conversions to build a more sustainable society, encourages the development of synthetic approaches towards new nanomaterials. Cu-based bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) promise to f ...
This thesis is devoted to the investigation of static and dynamic properties of
two different sets of quantum magnets with neutron scattering techniques and
the help of linear spin wave theory.
Both systems are copper-based with spin-1/2, which makes them ...
This thesis presents a combined experimental and theoretical study of the classical and quantum magnetization dynamics in single magnetic adatoms and molecules, and on the classical and quantum coherent control thereof.First, a detailed description of t ...
This thesis presents results of studies of novel compounds modeling complex fundamental physics phenomena. Cu2OSO4 is a copper based magnetic Mott Insulator system, where spin half magnetic moments form a new type of lattice. These intrinsically quantum pi ...
We present a(1)H NMR investigation of spin dynamics in two finite integer spin molecular nanomagnetic rings, namely V7Zn and V7Ni. This study could be put in correlation with the problem of Haldane gap in infinite integer spin chains. While V7Zn is an appr ...
Long-range magnetic ordering and short-range spin correlations in layered noncentrosymmetric orthogermanate Li2MnGeO4 were studied by means of polarized and unpolarized neutron scattering. The combined Rietveld refinement of synchrotron and neutron powder ...
The concept of chirality has been influencing many branches of physics for centuries. On
the other hand, study of topology and related concepts have recently been introduced to the
physics community. Exotic quasiparticles, such as magnetic skyrmions emerge ...
The thermal spin crossover (SCO) phenomenon refers to an entropy-driven spin transition in some materials based on d(6)-d(9) transition metal complexes. While its molecular origin is well known, intricate SCO behaviours are increasingly common, in which th ...
