Separation of kinetic rate orders in extreme ultraviolet transient grating spectroscopy

Majed Chergui, Michele Puppin, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Oliviero Cannelli, Rebecca Ann Ingle, Serhii Polishchuk, Hugo Jean Baptiste Marroux

We present an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) transient grating (TG) experiment of the spinel Co3O4 compound using tuneable incident energies across the Co M-2,M-3-edge and a 395 nm probe pulse, detecting both the first and the second diffraction orders (SDOs). ...

Early bird or night owl? Controlling the ultrafast photodynamics of triphenylamine substituted 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine

Majed Chergui, Etienne Christophe Socie, Malte Oppermann, Oliviero Cannelli

Controlling the ultrafast photodynamics of metal-free organic molecules has great potential for technological applications. In this work, we use solvent polarity and viscosity as "external knobs" to govern the photodynamics of an electron-donating derivati ...

Ultrafast Energy Transfer from Photoexcited Tryptophan to the Haem in Cytochrome c

Majed Chergui, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Dominik Kinschel, Oliviero Cannelli, Rebecca Ann Ingle, Yang Zhao, Jérémy Raymond Jean Maurice Rouxel

: We report femtosecond Fe K-edge absorption (XAS) and nonresonant X-ray emission (XES) spectra of ferric cytochrome C (Cyt c) upon excitation of the haem (>300 nm) or mixed excitation of the haem and tryptophan (

Atomic-Level Description of Thermal Fluctuations in Inorganic LeadHalide Perovskites

Majed Chergui, Alfredo Pasquarello, Nicola Colonna, Michele Puppin, Oliviero Cannelli, Ludmila Maria Diniz Leroy

A comprehensive microscopic description of thermally induceddistortions in lead halide perovskites is crucial for their realistic applications, yetstill unclear. Here, we quantify the effects of thermal activation in CsPbBr3nanocrystals across length scale ...

Decoupled Structural Responses upon Light and Thermal Functional Activation in CsPbBr3 Perovskites

Majed Chergui, Alfredo Pasquarello, Michele Puppin, Oliviero Cannelli

We combine time-resolved and temperature-dependent X-ray absorption spectroscopy with state-of-the-art first principles simulations to quantify light- and thermally-induced structural distortions in CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals with atomic-level precisi ...

Hard X-ray helical dichroism of disordered molecular media

Majed Chergui, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Malte Oppermann, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Dominik Kinschel, Oliviero Cannelli, Christian David, Jérôme Lacour

Chirality is a structural property of molecules lacking mirror symmetry that has strong implications in diverse fields, ranging from life sciences to materials science. Chirality-sensitive spectroscopic methods, such as circular dichroism, exhibit weak sig ...

Push-Pull Effect of Terpyridine Substituted by Triphenylamine Motive-Impact of Viscosity, Polarity and Protonation on Molecular Optical Properties

Etienne Christophe Socie, Oliviero Cannelli

The introduction of an electron-donating triphenylamine motive into a 2,2',6',2''-terpyridine (terpy) moiety, a cornerstone molecular unit in coordination chemistry, opens new ways for a rational design of photophysical properties of organic and inorganic ...

Quantifying Photoinduced Polaronic Distortions in Inorganic Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals

Majed Chergui, Nicola Colonna, Michele Puppin, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Andre Al Haddad, Dominik Kinschel, Oliviero Cannelli, James Michael Budarz, Ludmila Maria Diniz Leroy

The development of next-generation perovskite-based optoelectronic devices relies critically on the understanding of the interaction between charge carriers and the polar lattice in out-of-equilibrium conditions. While it has become increasingly evident fo ...

Femtosecond X-ray spectroscopy of haem proteins

Majed Chergui, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Dominik Kinschel, Oliviero Cannelli, Boris Sorokin

We discuss our recently reported femtosecond (fs) X-ray emission spectroscopy results on the ligand dissociation and recombination in nitrosylmyoglobin (MbNO) in the context of previous studies on ferrous haem proteins. We also present a preliminary accoun ...

Photo- and thermally-induced electronic and structural dynamics in perovskites and transition metal oxides

Oliviero Cannelli

In this thesis, we exploited optical and X-ray pump-probe methods in a synergistic approach to study the interplay of the electronic, spin and structural degrees of freedom in two class of complex systems relevant for solar energy conversion applications: ...
