Binding Sites, Vibrations and Spin-Lattice Relaxation Times in Europium(II)-Based Metallofullerene Spin Qubits.
2021
Abstract To design molecular spin qubits with enhanced quantum coherence, a control of the coupling between the local vibrations and the spin states is crucial, which could be realized in principle by engineering molecular structures via coordination chemistry. To this end, understanding the underlying structural factors that govern the spin relaxation is a central topic. Here, we report the investigation of the spin dynamics in a series of chemically designed europium(II)‐based endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs). By introducing a unique structural difference, i. e. metal‐cage binding site, while keeping other molecular parameters constant between different complexes, these manifest the ke…
Large Conductance Switching in a Single-Molecule Device through Room Temperature Spin-Dependent Transport
2016
Controlling the spin of electrons in nanoscale electronic devices is one of the most promising topics aiming at developing devices with rapid and high density information storage capabilities. The interface magnetism or spinterface resulting from the interaction between a magnetic molecule and a metal surface, or vice versa, has become a key ingredient in creating nanoscale molecular devices with novel functionalities. Here, we present a single-molecule wire that displays large (>10000%) conductance switching by controlling the spin-dependent transport under ambient conditions (room temperature in a liquid cell). The molecular wire is built by trapping individual spin crossover Fe-II comple…

Il programma di ricerca, partendo dalla terracruda, mira a creare dei materiali nanocompositi, una nuova classe di materiali, caratterizzati da una dispersione delle fasi ultra ne, tipicamente dell’ordine di pochi nanometri; in virtù di questa dispersione, i nanocompositi possiedono proprietà uniche, non condivise dai convenzionali compositi o microcompositi. in altri termini, la ricerca mira a potenziare la terracruda con rinforzi nanostrutturati, allo scopo di migliorare le prestazioni chimico-fisiche e meccaniche del prodotto finale. La proposta di ricerca investe aspetti che riguardano la tradizione culturale e materiale e l’in- novazione come criterio per rinnovare la prassi costruttiv…
Novel architectures and materials for perovskite opto‐electronics
2018
Photovoltaic and light emitting devices based on perovskites have shown an impressive development in the last years. Despite the fast progress, many studies relied still on a trial and error approach in order to further boost device efficiencies. The aim of the thesis is therefore to get further inside into phenomena related to the fundamental photophysics on both perovskite solar cells and LEDs. The work has been structured in three parts: Perovskite‐Perovskite Homojunctions via Compositional Doping. One of the most important properties of semiconductors is the possibility to control their electronic properties via intentional doping. Nevertheless doping in perovskite remains nearly unexpl…
In situ transmission electron microscopy study of electron beam-induced transformations in colloidal cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals
2017
An increasing number of studies have recently reported the rapid degradation of hybrid and all-inorganic lead halide perovskite nanocrystals under electron beam irradiation in the transmission electron microscope, with the formation of nanometer size, high contrast particles. The nature of these nanoparticles and the involved transformations in the perovskite nanocrystals are still a matter of debate. Herein, we have studied the effects of high energy (80/200 keV) electron irradiation on colloidal cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) nanocrystals with different shapes and sizes, especially 3 nm thick nanosheets, a morphology that facilitated the analysis of the various ongoing processes. Our resul…
Molecular Iodine for a General Synthesis of Binary and Ternary Inorganic and Hybrid Organic-inorganic Iodide Nanocrystals
2018
We report the synthesis of various binary and ternary inorganic and hybrid organic–inorganic iodide nanocrystals (NCs) starting from molecular iodine (I2). The synthesis described herein utilizes a reaction between I2 and oleylamine, which results in oleylammonium iodide, an iodide precursor that can be directly used in the preparation of iodide-based NCs. The generality of the synthesis was demonstrated by synthesizing KI, RbI, CsI, AgI, CsPbI3, FAPbI3, Cs4PbI6, Cs3Bi2I9, FA3Bi2I9, and RbAg4I5 NCs. Furthermore, the syntheses are facile and are carried out in vials heated on a hot plate in air. They exhibit not only narrow size distributions, but also, in the case of lead-based perovskites …

Nanopore charge inversion and current-voltage curves in mixtures of asymmetric electrolytes
2018
[EN] We consider the screening of the negative charges (carboxylic acid groups) fixed on the surface of a conical-shaped track-etched nanopore by divalent magnesium (Mg2+) and trivalent lanthanum (La3+). The experimental current (I)-voltage (V) curves and current rectification ratios allow discussing fundamental questions about the overcompensation of spatially-fixed charges by multivalent ions over nanoscale volumes. The effects of charge inversion or reversal on nanopore transport are discussed in mixtures of asymmetric electrolytes (LaCl3 and MgCl2 with KCl). In particular, pore charge inversion is demonstrated for La3+ as well as for mixtures of this trivalent ion at low concentrations …
