Light-induced structural changes in a monomeric bacteriophytochrome
2016
International audience; Phytochromes sense red light in plants and various microorganism. Light absorption causes structural changes within the protein, which alter its biochemical activity. Bacterial phytochromes are dimeric proteins, but the functional relevance of this arrangement remains unclear. Here, we use time-resolved X-ray scattering to reveal the solution structural change of a monomeric variant of the photosensory core module of the phytochrome from Deinococcus radiodurans. The data reveal two motions, a bend and a twist of the PHY domain with respect to the chromophore-binding domains. Infrared spectroscopy shows the refolding of the PHY tongue. We conclude that a monomer of th…
1-(Pyridin-4-yl)-3-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)benz[4,5]imidazo[1,2-d][1,2,4]triazin-4(3H)-one
2016
In the title compound, C20H10Cl3N5O, the 13-membered ring system makes dihedral angles of 78.64 (9)° with the trichlorophenyl ring and 62.60 (10)° with the pyridine ring. The crystal packing is dominated by π–π interactions between the 13-membered ring systems [centroid–centroid distance = 3.6655 (11)°].
Beating Darwin-Bragg losses in lab-based ultrafast x-ray experiments
2017
The use of low temperature thermal detectors for avoiding Darwin-Bragg losses in lab-based ultrafast experiments has begun. An outline of the background of this new development is offered, showing the relevant history and initiative taken by this work. (C) 2017 Author(s).

Comparative Ab Initio Calculations of ReO3, SrZrO3, BaZrO3, PbZrO3 and CaZrO3 (001) Surfaces
2020
We performed, for first time, ab initio calculations for the ReO2-terminated ReO3 (001) surface and analyzed systematic trends in the ReO3, SrZrO3, BaZrO3, PbZrO3 and CaZrO3 (001) surfaces using first-principles calculations. According to the ab initio calculation results, all ReO3, SrZrO3, BaZrO3, PbZrO3 and CaZrO3 (001) surface upper-layer atoms relax inwards towards the crystal bulk, all second-layer atoms relax upwards and all third-layer atoms, again, relax inwards. The ReO2-terminated ReO3 and ZrO2-terminated SrZrO3, BaZrO3, PbZrO3 and CaZrO3 (001) surface band gaps at the &Gamma
2,2-Difluoro-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2H-benzo[e][1,3,2]oxazaborinin-3-ium-2-uide
2017
There is one independent molecule in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C13H9BF3NO, which crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space groupCc. In the molecular structure, the BF2-carrying ring is distorted from planarity and its mean plane makes a dihedral angle of 42.3 (1)° with the 4-fluorophenyl ring. F atoms are involved in all of the short intermolecular contacts of the crystal structure, which link molecules to form chains along [001] and [010].

2020
The molecule of the title compound, C30H22N4, exhibits inversion symmetry adopting the shape of a St Andrew's Cross. It shows dihedral angles between adjacent aryl units of around 50° whereas torsion angles of ca 10° are found along the arylene vinylene path.
LiCrO2 Under Pressure: In-Situ Structural and Vibrational Studies
2018
The high-pressure behaviour of LiCrO2, a compound isostructural to the battery compound LiCoO2, has been investigated by synchrotron-based angle-dispersive X-ray powder diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and resistance measurements up to 41, 30, and 10 Gpa, respectively. The stability of the layered structured compound on a triangular lattice with R-3m space group is confirmed in all three measurements up to the highest pressure reached. The dependence of lattice parameters and unit-cell volume with pressure has been determined from the structural refinements of X-ray diffraction patterns that are used to extract the axial compressibilities and bulk modulus by means of Birch&ndash
Polarization Modulation Instability in Dispersion-Engineered Photonic Crystal Fibers
2021
Generation of widely spaced polarization modulation instability (PMI) sidebands in a wide collection of photonic crystal fibers (PCF), including liquid-filled PCFs, is reported. The contribution of chromatic dispersion and birefringence to the net linear phase mismatch of PMI is investigated in all-normal dispersion PCFs and in PCFs with one (or two) zero dispersion wavelengths. Large frequency shift sidebands are demonstrated experimentally. Suitable fabrication parameters for air-filled and liquid-filled PCFs are proposed as guidelines for the development of dual-wavelength light sources based on PMI.
Layered Double Hydroxides
2020
The impact of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) within the multidisciplinary fields of materials sciences, physics, chemistry, and biology is rapidly growing, given their easiness of synthesis, flexibility in composition, tunable biocompatibility and morphology. LDHs constitute a versatile platform for the realization of new classes of functional systems, showing unique enhanced surface effects and unprecedented properties for application in very different fields, namely, surface chemistry and catalysis, storage and triggered release of functional anions, flame retardants, drug delivery and nanomedicine, remediation, energy storage and conversion. These systems can be synthesized as self-ass…
