Network dynamics in nanofilled polymers
(Nature Publishing, 2016-04-25)
It is well accepted that adding nanoparticles (NPs) to polymer melts can result in significant property improvements. Here we focus on the causes of mechanical reinforcement and present rheological measurements on favourably ...
A redox-active radical as an effective nanoelectronic component: stability and electrochemical tunnelling spectroscopy in ionic liquids
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-10-28)
A redox-active persistent perchlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM) radical chemically linked to gold exhibits stable electrochemical activity in ionic liquids. Electrochemical tunnelling spectroscopy in this medium demonstrates that ...
Quantifying electronic band interactions in van der Waals materials using angle-resolved reflected-electron spectroscopy
(Nature Publishing, 2016-11-29)
High electron mobility is one of graphene's key properties, exploited for applications and fundamental research alike. Highest mobility values are found in heterostructures of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride, which ...
Quantum plasmonics: from jellium models to ab initio calculations
(Walter de Gruyter, 2016-08)
Light-matter interaction in plasmonic nanostructures is often treated within the realm of classical optics. However, recent experimental findings show the need to go beyond the classical models to explain and predict the ...
Spin-texture inversion in the giant Rashba semiconductor BiTeI
(Nature Publishing, 2016-05)
Semiconductors with strong spin-orbit interaction as the underlying mechanism for the generation of spin-polarized electrons are showing potential for applications in spintronic devices. Unveiling the full spin texture in ...
Characterisation of Exposure to Non-Ionising Electromagnetic Fields in the Spanish INMA Birth Cohort: Study Protocol
(Biomed Central, 2016-02-18)
Background: Analysis of the association between exposure to electromagnetic fields of non-ionising radiation (EMF-NIR) and health in children and adolescents is hindered by the limited availability of data, mainly due to ...
Strain-induced effects in the electronic and spin properties of a monolayer of ferromagnetic GdAg 2
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)
We report on the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of a monolayer of GdAg2, forming a moire pattern on Ag(111). Combining scanning tunneling microscopy and ab initio spin-polarized calculations, we show that ...
