Structure-transport correlation reveals anisotropic charge transport in coupled PbS nanocrystal superlattices
Andre Maier, Dmitry Lapkin, Nastasia Mukharamova +14
Semiconductive nanocrystals (NCs) can be self-assembled into ordered superlattices (SLs) to create artificial solids with emerging collective properties. Computational studies have…
Femtosecond laser produced periodic plasma in a colloidal crystal probed by XFEL radiation
Nastasia Mukharamova, Sergey Lazarev, Janne-Mieke Meijer +20
With the rapid development of short-pulse intense laser sources, studies of matter under extreme irradiation conditions enter further unexplored regimes. In addition, an applicatio…
Revealing Grain Boundaries and Defect Formation in Nanocrystal Superlattices by Nanodiffraction
Nastasia Mukharamova, Dmitry Lapkin, Ivan A. Zaluzhnyy +8
X-ray nanodiffraction is applied to study the formation and correlation of domain boundaries in mesocrystalline superlattices of PbS nanocrystals with face-centered cubic structure…
Ghost Imaging at an XUV Free-Electron Laser
Young Yong Kim, Luca Gelisio, Giuseppe Mercurio +18
Radiation damage is one of the most severe resolution limiting factors in x-ray imaging, especially relevant to biological samples. One way of circumventing this problem is to expl…
Unravelling structural rearrangement of polymer colloidal crystals under dry sintering conditions
Alexey V. Zozulya, Ivan A. Zaluzhnyy, Nastasia Mukharamova +7
Structural rearrangement of polystyrene colloidal crystals under dry sintering conditions has been revealed by in situ grazing incidence X-ray scattering. Measured diffraction patt…
Evidence of a first-order smectic -- hexatic transition and its proximity to tricritical point in smectic films
Ivan A. Zaluzhnyy, Ruslan P. Kurta, Nastasia Mukharamova +10
Experimental and theoretical studies of a smectic-hexatic transition in freely suspended films of 54COOBC compound are presented. X-ray investigations revealed a discontinuous firs…
