Phase diagram of the J-Jd Heisenberg model on the maple leaf lattice: Neural networks and density matrix renormalization group

We microscopically analyze the nearest-neighbor Heisenberg model on the maple leaf lattice through neural quantum state (NQS) and infinite density matrix renormalization group (iDMRG) methods. Embarking to parameter regimes beyond the exact dimer singlet g ...

A Multiconfigurational Wave Function Implementation of the Frenkel Exciton Model for Molecular Aggregates

Francesco Aquilante

We present an implementation of the Frenkel exciton model into the OpenMolcas program package enabling calculations of collective electronic excited states of molecular aggregates based on a multiconfigurational wave function description of the individual ...

Deuterated TEKPol Biradicals and the Spin-Diffusion Barrier in MAS DNP

David Lyndon Emsley, Federico De Biasi, Yu Rao, Dominik Józef Kubicki, Amrit Venkatesh

The sensitivity of NMR spectroscopy is considerably enhanced by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). In DNP polarization is transferred from unpaired electrons of a polarizing agent to nearby proton spins. In solids, this transfer is followed by the transpo ...

Charge fluctuations in the intermediate-valence ground state of SmCoIn5

Nicola Colonna, Vladimir N. Strocov, Neeraj Kumar

The microscopic mechanism of heavy band formation, relevant for unconventional superconductivity in CeCoIn5 and other Ce-based heavy fermion materials, depends strongly on the efficiency with which f electrons are delocalized from the rare earth sites and ...

Single Chip Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Microsystems

Nergiz Sahin Solmaz

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods are powerful tools employed in many fields, including physics, chemistry, material science, biology, and medicine. The use of NMR methodologies in an even wider range of applications is often hindered by the relativ ...

Controlling the magnetic and electric responses of dielectric nanoparticles via near-field coupling

Olivier Martin, Andrei Kiselev

Among the two materials families used in nanophotonics, the fundamental mode for metal nanostructures is electric, while that for dielectric nanostructures is magnetic. Consequently, the optical properties of hybrid dimers that incorporate both materials h ...

Design, synthesis, reactivity, and magnetic properties of uranium based oxide and nitride complexes

Luciano Barluzzi

The activation of small molecules is a paramount challenge in modern chemistry. The use of cheap and abundant molecules such as N2, H2, CO2, or CO as energy supplies or as precursors for fine chemicals production is highly desirable. In particular, the onl ...

TinyPols: a family of water-soluble binitroxides tailored for dynamic nuclear polarization enhanced NMR spectroscopy at 18.8 and 21.1 T

David Lyndon Emsley, Gabriele Stevanato, Moreno Lelli, Georges Guévork Jean-Jacques Menzildjian, David Benjamin Roger Antoine Gajan

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) has recently emerged as a key method to increase the sensitivity of solid-state NMR spectroscopy under Magic Angle Spinning (MAS). While efficient binitroxide polarizing agents such as AMUPol have been developed for MAS D ...

Open and Closed Radicals: Local Geometry around Unpaired Electrons Governs Magic-Angle Spinning Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Performance

David Lyndon Emsley, Gabriele Stevanato, Yu Rao, Dominik Józef Kubicki, Moreno Lelli, Manuel Cordova, Georges Guévork Jean-Jacques Menzildjian

The development of magic-angle spinning dynamic nuclear polarization (MAS DNP) has allowed atomic-level characterization of materials for which conventional solid-state NMR is impractical due to the lack of sensitivity. The rapid progress of MAS DNP has be ...

Fast and Sensitive Detection of Paramagnetic Species Using Coupled Charge and Spin Dynamics in Strongly Fluorescent Nanodiamonds

Claudia Esther Avalos

Sensing of a few unpaired electron spins, such as in metal ions and radicals, is a useful but difficult task in nanoscale physics, biology, and chemistry. Single negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV-) centers in diamond offer high sensitivity and spatia ...
