Tip-Enhanced Infrared Difference-Nanospectroscopy of the Proton Pump Activity of Bacteriorhodopsin in Single Purple Membrane Patches
Valeria Giliberti, Raffaella Polito, Eglof Ritter +11
Photosensitive proteins embedded in the cell membrane (about 5 nm thickness) act as photoactivated proton pumps, ion gates, enzymes, or more generally, as initiators of stimuli for…
Infrared study of the quasi-two-dimensional electron system at the interface between SrTiO and crystalline or amorphous LaAlO
A. Nucara, M. Corasaniti, A. Kalaboukhov +9
We have used grazing-angle infrared spectroscopy to detect the Berreman effect (BE) in the quasi-two-dimensional electron system (q-2DES) which forms spontaneously at the interface…
Infrared evidence of a Slater metal-insulator transition in NaOsO3
Irene Lo Vecchio, Andrea Perucchi, Paola Di Pietro +6
The magnetically driven metal-insulator transition (MIT) was predicted by Slater in the fifties. Here a long-range antiferromagnetic (AF) order can open up a gap at the Brillouin e…
Sub-THz electrodynamics of the graphene-like superconductor CaAlSi
S. Lupi, L. Baldassarre, M. Ortolani +7
We report the first optical study of CaAlSi, a superconductor which displays both the crystal structure of MgB2 and the electronic band structure of intercalated graphites. The ref…
Low-energy electrodynamics of superconducting diamond
M. Ortolani, S. Lupi, L. Baldassarre +6
Heavily-boron-doped diamond films become superconducting with critical temperatures well above 4 K. Here we first measure the reflectivity of such a film down to 5 cm,…
Infrared properties of MgAlBC) single crystals in the normal and superconducting state
D. Di Castro, M. Ortolani, E. Cappelluti +3
The reflectivity of -oriented MgAl(BC) single crystals has been measured by means of infrared microspectroscopy for cm$^{-1}…
