Assembling patchy plasmonic nanoparticles with aggregation-dependent antibacterial activity
Francesco Brasili, Angela Capocefalo, Damiano Palmieri +5
We realise an antibacterial nanomaterial based on the self-limited assembly of patchy plasmonic colloids, obtained by adsorption of lysozyme to gold nanoparticles. The possibility…
Structural phase transition and bandgap control through mechanical deformation in layered semiconductors 1T-ZrX2 (X = S, Se)
Edoardo Martino, David Santos-Cottin, Florian Le Mardele +10
Applying elastic deformation can tune a material physical properties locally and reversibly. Spatially modulated lattice deformation can create a bandgap gradient, favouring photo-…
Probing intraband excitations in ZrTe: a high-pressure infrared and transport study
D. Santos-Cottin, M. Padlewski, E. Martino +12
Zirconium pentatetelluride, ZrTe5, shows remarkable sensitivity to hydrostatic pressure. In this work we address the high-pressure transport and optical properties of this compound…
High-pressure behavior of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) hybrid perovskite
Francesco Capitani, Carlo Marini, Simone Caramazza +6
In this paper we provide an accurate high-pressure structural and optical study of MAPbI3 hybrid perovskite. Structural data show the presence of a phase transition towards an orth…
Optical study of the vibrational and dielectric properties of BiMnO3
W. S. Mohamed, A. Nucara, G. Calestani +5
BiMnO3 (BMO), ferromagnetic (FM) below Tc = 100 K, was believed to be also ferroelectric (FE) due to a non-centro-symmetric C2 structure, until diffraction data indicated that its…
Raman phonon spectrum of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya helimagnet Ba2CuGe2O7
F. Capitani, S. Koval, R. Fittipaldi +9
The Raman spectrum of Ba2CuGe2O7, a tetragonal insulator which develops Dzyaloshinsky- Moriya helical magnetism below TN = 3.2 K, has been detected at temperatures varying from 300…
