Direct Visualization of Atomic-Scale Heterogeneous Structure Dynamics in MnO2 Nanowires

Kangning Zhao, Xin Peng, Yuyang Zhang

Manganese oxides are attracting great interest owing to their rich polymorphism and multiple valent states, which give rise to a wide range of applications in catalysis, capacitors, ion batteries, and so forth. Most of their functionalities are connected t ...

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 ...

Color neutral nanocomposite nickel-tantalum oxide for electrochromic windows

Andreas Schueler, Josef Andreas Schuler, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard

Electrochromic windows can darken on demand to limit the solar gains entering a building to reduce the risk of overheating, while preserving the view towards the exterior. Yet, the switching speed and contrast as well as the durability of commercial produc ...

Advanced Computational Methods for NMR Crystallography

Albert Hofstetter

Knowledge of the atomic-level structure is key to understanding and predicting properties of materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is the methods of choice for structures containing well-defined long-range order. However, many materials contain various degree ...

Effect of surface modification of colloidal silica nanoparticles on the rigid amorphous fraction and mechanical properties of amorphous polyurethane-urea-silica nanocomposites

John Christopher Plummer, Nicolas Candau, Oguzhan Oguz, Stéphane Henri Florian Bernhard

Colloidal silica nanoparticles (NPs) modified with eight different silane coupling agents were incorporated into an amorphous poly(tetramethylene oxide)-based polyurethane-urea copolymer matrix at a concentration of 10 wt % (4.4 vol %) in order to investig ...

Long-range symmetry breaking in embedded ferroelectrics

Dragan Damjanovic

The characteristic functionality of ferroelectric materials is due to the symmetry of their crystalline structure. As such, ferroelectrics lend themselves to design approaches that manipulate this structural symmetry by introducing extrinsic strain. Using ...

Synthesis and characterization of fluorinated anatase nanoparticles and subsequent N-doping for efficient visible light activated photocatalysis

Paul Bowen, Sami Rtimi

Fluorinated-titanium dioxide (TiO2-F) nanoparticles in a pure anatase polymorph was precipitated from solution by hydrolysis of titanium oxychloride, using urea and ammonia as precipitation agents and potassium fluoride as a source of fluorine anion. A fur ...

Atomistic Simulations of The Structure of Calcium Silicate Hydrates: Interlayer Positions, Water Content And A General Structural Brick Model

Aslam Kunhi Mohamed

Portland cement has been in use by human civilization for over a century. Yet, we do not fully understand its hydration reaction mechanisms due to the complexity of the system and its continued reaction over time making it hard to study it experimentally. ...

Structural, tribo-mechanical, and thermal properties of NbAlN coatings with various Al contents deposited by DC reactive magnetron sputtering

Silviu Cosmin Sandu

DC reactive magnetron sputtered Nb2AlyNx coatings with various Al contents (y/(y + z)) ranging from 0 to 0.75 were deposited using different ratios of the currents applied to the Al and Nb targets in order to systematically control their chemical compositi ...

Computational Characterization of the Dependence of Halide Perovskite Effective Masses on Chemical Composition and Structure

Michael Graetzel, Ursula Röthlisberger, Simone Meloni, Amir Hesam Salavati, Giulia Palermo, Negar Ashari Astani

Effective masses are calculated for a large variety of perovskites of the form ABX(3) differing in chemical composition (A= Na, Li, Cs; B = Pb, Sn; X= Cl, Br, I) and crystal structure. In addition, the effects of some defects and dopants are assessed. We s ...
