Modeling high-entropy transition metal alloys with alchemical compression

Michele Ceriotti, Guillaume André Jean Fraux, Sandip De, Nataliya Lopanitsyna

Alloys composed of several elements in roughly equimolar composition, often referred to as high-entropy alloys, have long been of interest for their thermodynamics and peculiar mechanical properties, and more recently for their potential application in cat ...

Implementing Multi-Electron Transfer Strategies in Uranium Chemistry

Dieuwertje Katelijn Modder

In the last decades, the activation of small molecules has attracted increasing attention for their use as cheap and abundant feedstock. Low-oxidation state uranium complexes have displayed high reactivity towards small molecules thanks to their unique pro ...

Element- and enantiomer-selective visualization of molecular motion in real-time

Majed Chergui, Malte Oppermann, Jérémy Raymond Jean Maurice Rouxel

Ultrafast optical-domain spectroscopies allow to monitor in real time the motion of nuclei in molecules. Achieving element-selectivity had to await the advent of time resolved X-ray spectroscopy, which is now commonly carried at X-ray free electron lasers. ...

Nuclei with Up to A=6 Nucleons with Artificial Neural Network Wave Functions

Giuseppe Carleo

The ground-breaking works of Weinberg have opened the way to calculations of atomic nuclei that are based on systematically improvable Hamiltonians. Solving the associated many-body Schrodinger equation involves non-trivial difficulties, due to the non-per ...

The first generations of stars in the Local Group

Romain Ely Roland Lucchesi

The different projects of this thesis contribute to improving our understanding of the early chemical evolution of the galaxies. The standard cosmological model states an hierarchical formation of the galaxies, the dwarf galaxies being the first stellar sy ...

The Status Quo of Rashba Phenomena in Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Perovskites

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

In this Perspective, we address the fundamentals and possible implications of Rashba phenomena particularly for noncentrosymmetric and heavy element-containing hybrid perovskite systems. The work sheds light on the application paradigm of these exciting ph ...

Ultralow-Profile Circularly Polarized Reflectarray Antenna for CubeSat Intersatellite Links in K-B and

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

An ultralow-profile circularly polarized (CP) reflectarray (RA) antenna is presented in this article, based on the variable-rotation technique for beam collimation and scanning. Starting from a conventional split-loop element, a new wideband element is des ...

Bosonic superfluid transport in a quantum point contact

Jean-Philippe Brantut

We present a microscopic theory of heat and particle transport of an interacting, low-temperature Bose- Einstein condensate in a quantum point contact.We show that, in contrast to charged, fermionic superconductors, bosonic systems feature tunneling proces ...

A three-dimensional macroelement for modelling the in-plane and out-of-plane response of masonry walls

Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin, Andrea Penna

The seismic performance of unreinforced masonry buildings is commonly assessed using equivalent frame modelling. Its computational efficiency allows for a large number of analyses to be conducted, which are often required to account for epistemic and aleat ...

Toward time-resolved laser T-jump/X-ray probe spectroscopy in aqueous solutions

Majed Chergui, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Dominik Kinschel, Oliviero Cannelli, Rebecca Ann Ingle, Benjamin Bauer

Most chemical and biochemical reactions in nature and in industrial processes are driven by thermal effects that bring the reactants above the energy barrier for reaction. In aqueous solutions, this process can also be triggered by the laser driven tempera ...
