A scattering amplitude in Conformal Field Theory

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Marco Meineri, Marc Gillioz

We define form factors and scattering amplitudes in Conformal Field Theory as the coefficient of the singularity of the Fourier transform of time-ordered correlation functions, as p(2) -> 0. In particular, we study a form factor F(s, t, u) obtained from a ...

Chalcogenide glasses for innovation in applied science: fundamental issues and new insights

Assil Bouzid, Carlo Massobrio

We provide an overview of what has been accomplished by our team, since 1998, in the area of first-principles molecular dynamics (FPMD) modeling of glassy chalcogenides, a prototypical family of network-forming disordered materials. After a broad introduct ...

Electrons leave the flatland: out-of-plane charge dynamics in layered materials

Edoardo Martino

The goal of this thesis is to explore the "neglected" third dimension of layered materials, by studying the interlayer charge dynamics through dc conductivity, optical spectroscopy and ab-initio calculations. This project was designed to respond to the gro ...

New Evidence for Ag-Sputtered Materials Inactivating Bacteria by Surface Contact without the Release of Ag Ions: End of a Long Controversy?

Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

The study provides new evidence for Ag-coated polyester (PES) mediating Escherichia colt inactivation by way of genetically engineered E. coli (without porins, from now denoted porinless bacteria). This allows the quantification of the bactericidal kinetic ...

Characterizing crystalline defects in single nanoparticles from angular correlations of single-shot diffracted X-rays

Christoph Bostedt, Alessandro Colombo, Giorgio Rossi

Characterizing and controlling the uniformity of nanoparticles is crucial for their application in science and technology because crystalline defects in the nanoparticles strongly affect their unique properties. Recently, ultra-short and ultra-bright X-ray ...

The atomic-resolution crystal structure of activated [Fe]-hydrogenase

Xile Hu, Matthew Wodrich

Hydrogenases are promising templates for constructing new H-2-based catalysts. [Fe]-hydrogenase, which features an ironguanylylpyridinol (FeGP) cofactor, catalyses a reversible hydride transfer from H-2 to methenyl-tetrahydromethanopterin (methenyl-H4MPT+, ...

Soft-phonon driven hexagonal-orthorhombic phase transition in BaVS3

Helmuth Berger

The lattice dynamics of low-dimensional BaVS3 is reported across the hexagonal-orthorhombic phase transition occurring at T-S = 250 K using a combination of the thermal diffuse scattering of x rays, inelastic x-ray scattering, and density functional theory ...

The S-matrix bootstrap. Part III: higher dimensional amplitudes

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Jonathan Campbell Toledo

We consider constraints on the S-matrix of any gapped, Lorentz invariant quantum field theory in 3+1 dimensions due to crossing symmetry, analyticity and unitarity. We extremize cubic couplings, quartic couplings and scattering lengths relevant for the ela ...

Magnetic structure of the quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet NiPS3

Diane Virginie Marie Lançon

The magnetic structure of the quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet NiPS3 has been determined by magnetometry and a variety of neutron diffraction techniques. The experiments show that the samples must be carefully handled, as gluing influences the magneto ...

Pressure dependence of the magnetic order in CrAs: A neutron diffraction investigation

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Jonathan White, Peter Babkevich

The suppression of magnetic order with pressure concomitant with the appearance of pressure-induced superconductivity was recently discovered in CrAs. Here we present a neutron diffraction study of the pressure evolution of the helimagnetic ground state to ...
