Revealing the KH2PO4 soft-mode coupling mechanism with infrared spectroscopy under pressure
D. Santos-Cottin, S. Nasrallah, F. Capitani +4
We measured the far-infrared reflectivity of a KH2PO4 single crystal up to pressures of 2 GPa in the ferroelectric and paraelectric phases. We find that the nu4 vibrational mode of…
Pressure evolution of electron dynamics in the superconducting kagome metal CsVSb
Maxim Wenzel, Alexander A. Tsirlin, Francesco Capitani +5
The coexistence of the charge-density wave (CDW) and superconducting phases and their tunability under external pressure remains one of the key points in understanding the electron…
Far-Infrared Signatures for a Two-Steps Pressure-Driven Metallization in Transition Metal Dichalcogenides
Elena Stellino, Beatrice D'Alo', Francesco Capitani +6
We present a high-pressure investigation of the semiconductor-to-metal transition in MoS2 and WS2 carried out by synchrotron-based far-infrared spectroscopy, to reconcile the contr…
Broadband Infrared Study of Pressure-Tunable Fano Resonance and Metallization Transition in 2H-MoTe2
Elena Stellino, Francesco Capitani, Francesca Ripanti +4
High pressure is a proven effective tool for modulating inter-layer interactions in semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides, which leads to significant band structure chang…
Infrared study of the pressure-induced isostructural metallic transition in MoWS
Elena Stellino, Francesca Ripanti, Giacomo Nisini +3
Ternary compounds of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides are emerging as an interesting class of crystals with tunable electronic properties, which make them attractive for nano-elect…
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…
