The energy densities achieved during central collisions of large nuclei at the AGS may be high enough to allow the formation of quark--gluon plasma. We propose that most collisions at AGS energies produce superheated hadronic matter, but in…

We study computationally and experimentally the propagation of chemical pulses in complex geometries.The reaction of interest, CO oxidation, takes place on single crystal Pt(110) surfaces that are microlithographically patterned; they are…

We theoretically investigate the interaction between a single molecule and a metallic nanoparticle. We develop a general quantum mechanical description for the calculation of the enhancement of radiative and non-radiative decay channels for…

The physics of collective optical response of molecular assemblies, pioneered by Dicke in 1954, has long been at the center of theoretical and experimental scrutiny. The influence of the environment on such phenomena is also of great…

Carbon-carbon (C-C) coupling reactions are widely used reactions in the production of fine chemicals, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. In our recent contribution (Green Chemistry, 2019, 21, 5284-5290), cuprous oxide (Cu2O) nanospheres…

We introduce a modular approach for efficiently interfacing photonic integrated circuits with deep-sub-wavelength hybrid plasmonic functionality. We demonstrate that an off-the-shelf silicon-on-insulator waveguide can be post-processed into…

To experimentally search for signals of the Gardner transition, an active quasi-thermal granular glass is constructed using a monolayer of air-fluidized star-shaped granular particles. The pressure of the system is controlled by adjusting…

A computational approach for predictive simulations of the nanoscale morphology in the early steps of the formation of the interface between metals and organic molecular semiconductors is presented. Despite the relevance of the…

We show how state-dependent optical potentials can be used to trap a pair of molecules in different internal states at a separation much smaller than the wavelength of the trapping light. This close spacing greatly enhances the…

We present our work on the simulation of the early stages of heavy-ion collisions with finite longitudinal thickness in the laboratory frame in 3+1 dimensions. In particular we study the effects of nuclear thickness on the production of a…

Strong light-matter interactions facilitate not only emerging applications in quantum and non-linear optics but also modifications of materials properties. In particular the latter possibility has spurred the development of advanced…

Understanding and controlling heat transport in molecular junctions would provide new routes to design nanoscale coupled electronic and phononic devices. Using first principles full quantum calculations, we tune thermal conductance of a…

We consider how trapped molecules can be sympathetically cooled by ultracold atoms. As a prototypical system, we study LiH molecules co-trapped with ultracold Li atoms. We calculate the elastic and inelastic collision cross sections of LiH…

Noble gas atoms such as Kr and Xe are byproducts of nuclear fission in nuclear plants. How to trap and confine these volatile even radioactive gases is particularly challenging. Recent studies have shown that they can be trapped in…

We present a method to design a finite decay rate for excited rotational states in polar molecules. The setup is based on a hybrid system of polar molecules with atoms driven into a Rydberg state. The atoms and molecules are coupled via the…

We demonstrate the measurement and manipulation of the temperature of cold CO molecules in a microchip environment. Through the use of time-resolved spatial imaging, we are able to observe the phase-space distribution of the molecules, and…

For investigation of electron transport on the nanoscale, a system possessing a simple to interpret electronic structure is composed of alkane chains bridging two electrodes via end groups; to date the majority of experiments and…

We study the dynamic electrical response of a silicon-molecular monolayer-metal junctions and we observe two contributions in the admittance spectroscopy data. These contributions are related to dipolar relaxation and molecular organization…

Arguments are presented that the reaction products of central high energy nuclear collisions up to collider energies can rigorously be interpreted in terms of a continuous decoupling mechanism based on continuous equations of motion. The…

Over the past years, radiofrequency ion traps have become an attractive platform for studying chemical reactions as they enable a high degree of control over ion-molecule dynamics. In this review, we summarize techniques for the trapping…
