Water Solvation of Charged and Neutral Gold Nanoparticles
Fabio Novelli, Miguel Bernal Lopez, Gerhard Schwaab +2
Gold nanoparticles are unique electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction, carbon dioxide reduction, and alcohol oxidation. Electrocatalytic processes are influenced by the interaction w…
Size-dependence of hydrophobic hydration at electrified gold/water interfaces
Alessandra Serva, Mathieu Salanne, Martina Havenith +1
Hydrophobic hydration at metal/water interfaces actively contributes to the energetics of electrochemical reactions, e.g. CO and N reduction, where small hydrophobic molecu…
Strong Anisotropy in Liquid Water upon Librational Excitation using Terahertz Laser Fields
Fabio Novelli, Luis Ruiz Pestana, Kochise C. Bennett +9
Tracking the excitation of water molecules in the homogeneous liquid is challenging due to the ultrafast dissipation of rotational excitation energy through the hydrogen-bonded net…
Design of a plasmonic near-field tip for super-resolution IR-imaging
Fouad Ballout, Erik Bründermann, Diedrich A. Schmidt +1
The concepts of spoof surface plasmon polaritons and adiabatic field compression are employed to design metallic near-field probes that allow guiding and focusing of mid-infrared w…
