We study the optical responses of metal nanoparticle chains. Multiple scattering calculations are used to study the extinction cross sections of silver nanosphere chains of finite length embedded in a glass matrix. The transmission and…

Several methods are constructed for large-scale electronic structure calculations. Test calculations are carried out with up to 10^7 atoms. As an application, cleavage process of silicon is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation with…

The electronic structures of epitaxially grown films of Ti3AlC2, Ti3SiC2 and Ti3GeC2 have been investigated by bulk-sensitive soft X-ray emission spectroscopy. The measured high-resolution Ti L, C K, Al L, Si L and Ge M emission spectra are…

X-ray standing wave (XSW) excited photoelectron emission was used to measure the site-specific valence band (VB) for 1/2 monolayer (ML) Pt grown on a SrTiO3 (001) surface. The XSW induced modulations in the core level (CL) and VB…

The structure of the adsorbed layer of alkali ions on the surface of colloidal silica solutions with a particle size of ~27 nm has been studied by reflectometry and diffuse scattering of synchrotron radiation with a photon energy of about…

A detailed study of poly-[Ni(Salen)] polymer in its oxidized (Ox) and reduced (Red) states was conducted using X-ray photoelectron (XPS) and ultraviolet photoemission (UV PES) spectroscopy, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS)…

We present first-principles studies of the adsorption of Sb and Ag on clean and Sb-covered Ag (111). For Sb, the {\it substitutional} adsorption site is found to be greatly favored with respect to on-surface fcc sites and to subsurface…

Surfaces of colloidal nanocrystals are frequently passivated with carboxylate ligands which exert significant effects on their optoelectronic properties and chemical stability. Experimentally, binding geometries of such ligands are…

Rock-salt lead selenide nanocrystals can be used as building blocks for large scale square superlattices via two-dimensional assembly of nanocrystals at a liquid-air interface followed by oriented attachment. Here we report measurements of…

The interaction of intense light with matter gives rise to competing nonlinear responses that can dynamically change material properties. Prominent examples are saturable absorption (SA) and two-photon absorption (TPA), which dynamically…

We stabilize monoatomic carbon chains in water by attaching them to gold nanoparticles (NPs) by means of the laser ablation process. Resulting nanoobjects represent pairs of NPs connected by multiple straight carbon chains of several…

Photoirradiation of silver nanoparticles in water solution of NaNO3 (0.01M) and in dissolved DNA was investigated by spectrophotometric and thermodynamic kinetic approaches. It is shown that only the irradiated complexes AgNPs-DNA have…

Atom specific valence electronic structures at interface are elucidated successfully using soft x-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy. In order to demonstrate the versatility of this method, we investigated SiO2/Si interface as a…

We obtained over 90 hours of spectroscopic observations of four exoplanetary systems with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET). Observations were taken in transit and out of transit, and we analyzed the differenced spectra---i.e., the…

Liquid metal (LM)-based composites hold promise for soft electronics due to their high conductivity and fluidic nature. However, the presence of {\alpha}_Ga2O3 and GaOOH layers around LM droplets impairs conductivity and performance. We…

The electronic structure of high-quality van der Waals multiferroic CuCrP$_2$S6 crystals was investigated applying photoelectron spectroscopy methods in combination with DFT analysis. Using X-ray photoelectron and near-edge X-ray absorption…

We demonstrate an electrically controlled coherent random lasing with silver nano-particles dispersed in a dye-doped nematic liquid crystal (NLC), in which external electric field dependent emission intensity and frequency-splitting are…

Molecular ions can be held in a chain of laser-cooled atomic ions by sympathetic cooling. This system is ideal for performing high-precision molecular spectroscopy with applications in astrochemistry and fundamental physics. Here we show…

We present a systematic theoretical investigation of the surface properties, stability and reactivity, of rock-salt type alkaline-earth metal oxides including MgO, CaO, SrO, and BaO. The accuracy of commonly used exchange-correlation…
