Bottom-up approach to scalable growth of molecules capable of optical cycling
Guanming Lao, Taras Khvorost, Antonio Macias +10
Gas-phase molecules capable of repeatable, narrow-band spontaneous photon scattering are prized for direct laser cooling and quantum state detection. Recently, large molecules inco…
Aperiodic defects in periodic solids
Robert H. Lavroff, Daniel Kats, Lorenzo Maschio +4
To date, computational methods for modeling defects (vacancies, adsorbates, etc.) rely on periodic supercells in which the defect is far enough from its repeated image such that th…
Extending the large molecule limit: The role of Fermi resonance in developing a quantum functional group
Guo-Zhu Zhu, Guanming Lao, Claire E. Dickerson +4
Polyatomic molecules equipped with optical cycling centers (OCCs), enabling continuous photon scattering during optical excitation, are exciting candidates for advancing quantum in…
Coking-Resistant Sub-Nano Dehydrogenation Catalysts: PtSn/SiO (n = 4, 7)
Timothy J. Gorey, Borna Zandkarimi, Guangjing Li +3
We present a combined experimental/theoretical study of Pt/SiO and PtSn/SiO (n = 4, 7) model catalysts for the endothermic dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons, usin…
Sn-modification of Pt7/alumina model catalysts: Suppression of carbon deposition and enhanced thermal stability
Guangjing Li, Borna Zandkarimi, Ashley C. Cass +4
An atomic layer deposition process is used to modify size-selected Pt7/alumina model catalysts by Sn addition, both before and after Pt7 cluster deposition. Surface science methods…
Photo-driven Molecular Wankel Engine B
Jin Zhang, Alina P. Sergeeva, Manuel Sparta +1
We report a molecular Wankel motor, the dual-ring structure B13+, driven by circularly-polarized infrared electromagnetic radiation, under which a guided uni-directional rotation o…
Structures of Li-Doped Alkali Clusters are Dictated by AO-Hybridization
Anastassia N. Alexandrova
Hybridization of atomic orbitals is a widely appreciated phenomenon whose impact on the structure and properties of, for example, organic molecules is well-established. Here, we de…
