Direct observation of thermal hysteresis in the molecular dynamics of barocaloric neopentyl glycol
Frederic Rendell-Bhatti, Markus Appel, Connor S. Inglis +6
Barocalorics (BCs) are emerging as promising alternatives to vapour-phase refrigerants, which are problematic as they exacerbate climate change when they inevitably leak into the a…
Colossal Effect of Nanopore Surface Ionic Charge on the Dynamics of Confined Water
Armin Mozhdehei, Philip Lenz, Stella Gries +9
Interfacial interactions significantly alter the fundamental properties of water confined in mesoporous structures, with crucial implications for geological, physicochemical, and b…
How special are the dynamics of deep eutectic solvents? A Look at the Prototypical Case of Ethaline
Mohammad Nadim Kamar, Armin Mozhdehei, Basma Dupont +5
We investigated the molecular dynamics of the prototypical deep eutectic solvent (DES) ethaline. We disentangled the different motions of its two constituents, namely choline chlor…
Dynamics of Water Confined in Mesopores with Variable Surface Interaction
Aicha Jani, Mark Busch, J Benedikt Mietner +8
We have investigated the dynamics of liquid water confined in mesostructured porous silica (MCM-41) and periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) by incoherent quasielastic neutron…
Enhanced reversible barocaloric effect at low pressure in neopentyl plastic crystal solid solutions
Frederic Rendell-Bhatti, Melony Dilshad, Celine Beck +9
The discovery of colossal barocaloric effects in neopentyl glycol (NPG) makes plastic crystals promising candidates for solid-state refrigerants with lower environmental impact tha…
Fractional matter coupled to the emergent gauge field in a quantum spin ice
Victor Porée, Han Yan, Félix Desrochers +7
Electronic spins can form long-range entangled phases of condensed matter named quantum spin liquids. Their existence is conceptualized in models of two- or three-dimensional frust…
