Static and dynamic structure of $ZnWO_4$ nanoparticles
2011
Abstract Static and dynamic structure of ZnWO 4 nanoparticles, synthesized by co-precipitation technique, has been studied by temperature dependent x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Zn K-edge and W L 3 -edge. Complementary experimental techniques, such as x-ray powder diffraction, Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopies, have been used to understand the variation of vibrational, optical, and structural properties of nanoparticles, compared to microcrystalline ZnWO 4 . Our results indicate that the structure of nanoparticles experiences strong relaxation leading to the significant distortions of the WO 6 and ZnO 6 octahedra, being responsible for the changes in optical and vibrational …
Interpretation of the Ni K-edge EXAFS in nanocrystalline nickel oxide using molecular dynamics simulations
2011
Abstract Analysis of atomic structure at the nanoscale is a challenging task, complicated by relaxation phenomena and thermal disorder. In this work, the x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Ni K-edge was used to address this problem in nanocrystalline NiO (nano-NiO) at 300 K. The analysis of the first two coordination shells using conventional two-shell single-scattering approximation allowed us to determine the expansion of the average lattice but contraction of the Ni―O bonds in the first coordination shell in nano-NiO in comparison with the bulk nickel oxide. The EXAFS signal generated within the first six coordination shells (up to ~ 6.5 A) was successfully interpreted using classical …

Klimt artwork: red-pigment material investigation by backscattering Fe-57 Mössbauer spectroscopy, SEM and p-XRF
2017
Material tests were performed on a rediscovered Klimt-artwork "Trompetender Putto". We performed studies on the red colored spots, mainly taken from non-restored parts. MIMOS II Fe-57 Mossbauer spectroscopy (novelty in art-pigment analysis) mainly reveals haematite and crystallized goethite in red colors. Electron microscopy can identify various layers of the original and overpainting of an artwork. The number of layers fluctuates between three and four chemically painted areas. The portable X-ray fluorescence analysis enables to reduce the pigment list to containing mercury (cinnabar), lead, zinc, iron and titanium. Infrared-light-irradiation visualizes the different age of the pigments.
Survival of Floquet–Bloch States in the Presence of Scattering
2021
Floquet theory has spawned many exciting possibilities for electronic structure control with light, with enormous potential for future applications. The experimental demonstration in solids, however, remains largely unrealized. In particular, the influence of scattering on the formation of Floquet-Bloch states remains poorly understood. Here we combine time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with time-dependent density functional theory and a two-level model with relaxation to investigate the survival of Floquet-Bloch states in the presence of scattering. We find that Floquet-Bloch states will be destroyed if scattering-activated by electronic excitations-prevents the Bloch elec…
Influence of Iron Sulfide Nanoparticle Sizes in Solid‐State Batteries**
2021
Abstract Given the inherent performance limitations of intercalation‐based lithium‐ion batteries, solid‐state conversion batteries are promising systems for future energy storage. A high specific capacity and natural abundancy make iron disulfide (FeS2) a promising cathode‐active material. In this work, FeS2 nanoparticles were prepared solvothermally. By adjusting the synthesis conditions, samples with average particle diameters between 10 nm and 35 nm were synthesized. The electrochemical performance was evaluated in solid‐state cells with a Li‐argyrodite solid electrolyte. While the reduction of FeS2 was found to be irreversible in the initial discharge, a stable cycling of the reduced sp…

This publication is with permission of the rights owner freely accessible due to an Alliance licence and a national licence (funded by the DFG, German Research Foundation) respectively. The investigations presented here show the results of an epigraphic analysis on ancient Roman lead ingots rescued from shipwrecks along the coast of Sicily (Italy) by means of Neutron Tomography (NT). The artefacts, including a lead horn, can be dated back to a period between the 3rd and 1st century BC. The three dimensional NT reconstructions helped the decipherment of hidden s…
Protonenvermittelter Ringschluss eines negativ photochromen, Azulen‐basierten Diarylethens
2020
Auf Protonen ansprechende photochrome Moleküle sind aufgrund ihrer Fähigkeit, auf nicht-invasive schnelle optische Stimuli zu reagieren, und wegen der ubiquitären Bedeutung von Protonierungs- und Deprotonierungsprozessen, sehr interessant. Üblicherweise befinden sich die sauren/basischen Stellen dieser Moleküle an Heteroatomen, die orthogonal zum photoaktiven π-Zentrum ausgerichtet sind. In dieser Arbeit wird Azulen, ein protonensensitiver reiner Kohlenwasserstoff, in das Gerüst eines Diarylethen-Photoschalters eingebaut. Dieser zeigt einen bisher ungekannten, protonenvermittelten, negativ photochromen Ringschluss. Veränderungen seiner optischen Eigenschaften durch Protonierung, sowohl in d…
X-ray absorption spectroscopy of Cu-doped $WO_{3}$ films for use inelectrochemical metallization cell memory
2014
Abstract We have performed the first synchrotron radiation X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS/XANES) study of the local atomic and electronic structure around Cu and W ions in WO 3 /Cu/WO 3 /Si and WO 3 /Cu/Si multilayered structures, aimed for the application in the electrochemical metallization cell memory. The influence of low-temperature annealing at 135 °C has been investigated in details, and a structural model of Cu-doped WO 3 films is proposed.
