Controlling crystal cleavage in focused ion beam shaped specimens for surface spectroscopy
Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Andrew Scott Hunter
Our understanding of quantum materials is commonly based on precise determinations of their electronic spectrum by spectroscopic means, most notably angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and scanning tunneling microscopy. Both require atomicall ...
Melville2024Quantified interface chemistry and biophysics via water imaging
High throughput wide-field second harmonic imaging enables the label-free imaging of interfacial (< 3 nm thick) water, with a spatial resolution of similar to 370 nm using similar to 100 ms acquisition times per image. The obtained interfacial orientationa ...
Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2024Hybrid organic/metal-oxide shells on semiconductor nanocrystals via colloidal atomic layer deposition
The escalating energy demand and the imperative necessity to reduce the carbon footprint require transformative approaches to energy conversion. Materials chemistry plays a pivotal role in addressing these global challenges by developing novel materials fo ...
EPFL2024Heterogeneous catalysis via light-heat dual activation: A path to the breakthrough in C1 chemistry
A hybrid photothermal catalytic system, which combines both the photochemical (light) and thermal (heat) activation pathways over a bifunctional catalyst, has demonstrated remarkable levels of reaction activity and selectivity when compared with individual ...
Cell Press2024Long live(d) CsPbBr3 superlattices: colloidal atomic layer deposition for structural stability
Raffaella Buonsanti, Philippe Benjamin Green, Alexander Nicolas Chen, Victoria Lapointe
Superlattice formation afforded by metal halide perovskite nanocrystals has been a phenomenon of interest due to the high structural order induced in these self-assemblies, an order that is influenced by the surface chemistry and particle morphology of the ...
Cambridge2024Controlling On-Surface Photoactivity: The Impact of π-Conjugation in Anhydride-Functionalized Molecules on a Semiconductor Surface
On-surface synthesis has become a prominent method for growing low-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials on metal surfaces. However, the necessity of decoupling organic nanostructures from metal substrates to exploit their properties requires either trans ...
Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh2024A diversity-driven discovery of potential nanoporous materials for energy-related applications
The design and discovery of potential novel materials is critical for the advancement of climate change mitigation technologies. In this respect, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received considerable attention over the last two decades. The combinatio ...
EPFL2024A cut-cell method for the numerical simulation of 3D multiphase flows with strong interfacial effects
Marco Picasso, Alexandre Caboussat, Alexandre Masserey, Julien Hess
We present a numerical model for the approximation of multiphase flows with free surfaces and strong interfacial effects. The model relies on the multiphase incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and includes surface tension effects on the interfaces betw ...
Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science2024Quasi-operando Transmission Electron Microscopy Diagnostics for Electrocatalytic Processes in Liquids
It is of great interest to the energy community to understand how the mechano-physico-chemical phenomena that eventually lead to device degradation are related to the startup, operation, and shutdown phases. For electrocatalytic systems operating in liquid ...
Swiss Chemical Soc2024Switching the on-surface orientation of oxygen-functionalized helicene
Christian Wäckerlin, Karl-Heinz Ernst, Jan Voigt
Helicenes represent an important class of chiral organic material with promising optoelectronic properties. Hence, functionalization of surfaces with helicenes is a key step toward new organic materials devices. The deposition of a heterohelicene containin ...
