Five-Membered Rings Create Off-Zero Modes in Nanographene

Oleg Yazyev, Kristians Cernevics, Ziyi Wang

The low-energy electronic structure of nanographenes can be tuned through zero-energy pi-electron states, typically referred to as zero-modes. Customizable electronic and magnetic structures have been engineered by coupling zero-modes through exchange and ...

From Surfactants to Viscoelastic Capsules

Esther Amstad, Gaia De Angelis, Natascha Ilena Gray

Micrometer sized capsules are often used as single entities for the encapsulation and release of active ingredients, for example in food, cosmetics, and drug delivery. Important parameters that determine the stability of capsules and the release of reagent ...

Non-destructive Prediction of the Buckling Load of Cylindrical Shells

Emilio José Lozano Vazquez

The current research focuses on the prediction of the maximum axial compression load a cylindrical shell is able to bear. This maximum axial compression load is the value at which a cylindrical shell loses stability and abruptly buckles. After the buckling ...

Mapping Orbital-Resolved Magnetism in Single Lanthanide Atoms

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha

Single lanthanide atoms and molecules are promising candidates for atomic data storage and quantum logic due to the long lifetime of their magnetic quantum states. Accessing and controlling these states through electrical transport requires precise knowled ...

Nondestructive Prediction of the Buckling Load of Imperfect Shells

Tobias Schneider, Emmanuel Georges Albert Virot, Emilio José Lozano Vazquez

From soda cans to space rockets, thin-walled cylindrical shells are abundant, offering exceptional load carrying capacity at relatively low weight. However, the actual load at which any shell buckles and collapses is very sensitive to imperceptible defects ...

Measuring the Intra-Atomic Exchange Energy in Rare-Earth Adatoms

Harald Brune, François Patthey, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta

We present the first experimental determination of the intra-atomic exchange energy between the inner 4f and the outer 6s5d shells in rare-earth elements. Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy on individual rare-earth atoms adsorbed on metal-supported ...

Mechano-responsive microcapsules with uniform thin shells

Esther Amstad, Antoine Claude Jean Vian

Capsules often prolong the shelf-life of active ingredients, such as many types of drugs, food additives, or cosmetic substances, because they delay oxidation of these substances or prevent their reactions with molecules contained in the surrounding. If ca ...

Buckling of geometrically confined shells

Matteo Pezzulla

We study the periodic buckling patterns that emerge when elastic shells are subjected to geometric confinement. Residual swelling provides access to range of shapes (saddles, rolled sheets, cylinders, and spherical sections) which vary in their extrinsic a ...

An Alternative One-Electron Oxidation Strategy to Access Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

Jérôme Waser, Marion Marie-Agnès Garreau

In this issue of Chem, Powers and co-workers demonstrate that iodanyl radicals are the key oxidants and chain carriers in a proposed open-shell mechanism for the aerobic synthesis of hypervalent iodine compounds. ...

Ultrafast Broadband Fluorescence Up-conversion Study of the Electronic Relaxation of Metalloporphyrins

Majed Chergui, Andrea Cannizzo, Olivier Christian Bräm

We present a systematic study of the ultrafast fluorescence with broadband detection and similar to 110 fs resolution of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphin (TPP) and 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-oc-taethylporphin (OEP), with open 3d-shell metals. We also revisit the cas ...
