Mechanochemical evolution of the giant muscle protein tititn as inferred from resurrecter proteins
(2017-07-07)
The sarcomere-based structure of muscles is conserved among vertebrates; however, vertebrate muscle physiology is extremely diverse. A molecular explanation for this muscle diversity and its evolution has not been proposed. ...
Relevance of the Quadratic Diamagnetic and Self-Polarization Terms in Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics
(American Chemical Society, 2020-04-15)
Experiments at the interface of quantum optics and chemistry have revealed that strong coupling between light and matter can substantially modify the chemical and physical properties of molecules and solids. While the ...
Fabrication and near-field characterization of mid-infrared transmission lines
(2017-07-11)
During this thesis, we fabricated infrared (IR) antennas and transmission lines (TLs), and characterizedthem by transmission-mode scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (transmission-mode s-SNOM). By means ...
Size-dependent electronic properties of metal nanoparticles.
(2016-01-14)
El trabajo de esta tesis doctoral comprende el estudio teórico de diferentes propiedades electrónicas de nanopartículas metálicas.Se utilizan técnicas de cálculo dentro del marco de la teoría del funcional de la densidad ...
Effect of surface plasmon resonance in TiO2/Au thin films on the fluorescence of self-assembled CdTe QDs structure
(IOP Publishing, 2015)
The exceptional properties of localised surface plasmons (LSPs), such as local field enhancement and confinement effects, resonant behavior, make them ideal candidates to control the emission of luminescent nanoparticles. ...
Advances in Click Chemistry for Single-Chain Nanoparticle Construction
(MDPI, 2013-03)
Single-chain polymeric nanoparticles are artificial folded soft nano-objects of ultra-small size which have recently gained prominence in nanoscience and nanotechnology due to their exceptional and sometimes unique properties. ...
Metal-Free Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Nanoparticles by Enamine "Click" Chemistry at Room Temperature
(MDPI, 2011-12)
"Click" chemistry has become an efficient avenue to unimolecular polymeric nanoparticles through the self-crosslinking of individual polymer chains containing appropriate functional groups. Herein we report the synthesis ...
Surface state tunable energy and mass renormalization from homothetic quantum dot arrays
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-12-28)
Quantum dot arrays in the form of molecular nanoporous networks are renowned for modifying the electronic surface properties through quantum confinement. Here we show that, compared to the pristine surface state, the band ...
Role of occupied d states in the relaxation of hot electrons in Au
(American Physical Society, 2000-07-15)
We present first-principles calculations of electron-electron scattering rates of low-energy electrons in Au. Our full band-structure calculations indicate that a major contribution from occupied d states participating in ...
Energy loss of charged particles moving parallel to a magnesium surface
(American Physical Society, 2008-10)
We present it ab initio calculations of the electronic energy loss of charged particles moving outside a magnesium surface, from a realistic description of the one-electron band structure and a full treatment of the dynamical ...
