Density functional theory study of the Jahn-Teller effect in cobaltocene

Zlatar, Matija ; Schläpfer, Carl-Wilhelm ; Penka Fowe, Emmanuel ; Daul, Claude A.

In: Pure and Applied Chemistry, 2009, vol. 81, no. 8, p. 1397-1411

A detailed discussion of the potential energy surface of bis(cyclopentadienyl)cobalt(II), cobaltocene, is given. Vibronic coupling coefficients are calculated using density functional theory (DFT). Results are in good agreement with experimental findings. On the basis of our calculation there is no second-order Jahn–Teller (JT) effect as predicted by group theory. The JT distortion can be...

Excited states of Pt(PF₃)₄ andb their role in focused electron beam nanofabrication

Zlatar, Matija ; Allan, Michael ; Fedor, Juraj

In: The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2016, vol. 120, no. 19, p. 10667–10674

Electron induced chemistry of metal-containing precursor molecules is central in focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID). While some elementary processes leading to precursor decomposition were quantitatively characterized, data for neutral dissociation is missing. We provide this data for the model precursor Pt(PF3)4 by using the available cross sections for electronic excitation...

Sampbias, a method for quantifying geographic sampling biases in species distribution data

Zizka, Alexander ; Antonelli, Alexandre ; Silvestro, Daniele

In: Ecography, 2020/n/a/n/a/-

Geo-referenced species occurrences from public databases have become essential to biodiversity research and conservation. However, geographical biases are widely recognized as a factor limiting the usefulness of such data for understanding species diversity and distribution. In particular, differences in sampling intensity across a landscape due to differences in human accessibility are...

Automated conservation assessment of the orchid family with deep learning

Zizka, Alexander ; Silvestro, Daniele ; Vitt, Pati ; Knight, Tiffany M.

In: Conservation Biology, 2020, p. cobi.13616

International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List assessments are essential for prioritizing conservation needs but are resource intensive and therefore available only for a fraction of global species richness. Automated conservation assessments based on digitally available geographic occurrence records can be a rapid alternative, but it is unclear how reliable these assessments...

Electron spectra for associative detachment in low-energy collisions of Cl⁻ and Br⁻ with H and D

Živanov, Svetlana ; Cížek, M. ; Horáček, J. ; Allan, Michael

In: Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 2003, vol. 36, no. 16, p. 3513-3531

Energy spectra of electrons detached in collisions of Cl⁻ and Br⁻ with atomic hydrogen and deuterium have been measured for laboratory frame ion energies between 0.2 and 8.0 eV. Their shapes agree very well with the predictions of nonlocal resonance theory. Both types of structure predicted by the theory are observed. They are the 'v steps', at ro-vibrational thresholds, and the 'S...

Effects of interchannel coupling in associative detachment: electron spectra for H+Cl⁻ and H+Br⁻ collisions

Živanov, Svetlana ; Allan, Michael ; Cížek, M. ; Horáček, J. ; Thiel, F. A. U. ; Hotop, Hartmut

In: Physical Review Letters, 2002, vol. 89, no. 7, p. 073201

We present experimental and theoretical energy spectra of the electrons detached in collisions of slow Cl⁻ and Br⁻ ions with atomic hydrogen. Nonlocal resonance theory predicts two kinds of features in the spectra: steplike structures associated with rovibrational onsets and steep rises associated with interchannel coupling, the latter being absent in a calculation using the simpler...

Dissociative electron attachment and electron energy-loss spectra of phenyl azide

Živanov, Svetlana ; Ibanescu, Bogdan C. ; Paech, M. ; Poffet, Martine ; Baettig, Pio ; Sergenton, A.-C. ; Grimme, S. ; Allan, Michael

In: Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 2007, vol. 40, no. 1, p. 101-109

Electron-induced chemistry—dissociative electron attachment (DEA)—was studied for phenyl azide. The major fragment corresponded to the loss of N₂ and formation of the phenylnitrene anion. This process has an onset already at zero kinetic energy of the incident electron and is interpreted as proceeding via the A″π* electronic ground state of the phenyl azide anion. Other fragments,...

Inelastic x-ray scattering in the vicinity of xenon L₃ edge

Žitnik, M. ; Kavcic, M. ; Bucar, K. ; Mihelic, A. ; Štuhec, M. ; Kokalj, J. ; Szlachetko, Jakub

In: Physical Review A, 2007, vol. 76, p. 032506

A series of x-ray emission spectra of xenon in the region of L₃M 5,4(Lα1,2) and L₃N5,4 (Lβ2,15) lines were recorded along the polarization direction of the incoming photons with energies ranging from 4779.4 to 4804.4 eV. A combination of monochromatic photon beam and high resolution x-ray spectrometer...

Dynamic conformational transitions of the EGF receptor in living mammalian cells determined by FRET and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy

Ziomkiewicz, Iwona ; Loman, Anastasia ; Klement, Reinhard ; Fritsch, Cornelia ; Klymchenko, Andrey S. ; Bunt, Gertrude ; Jovin, Thomas M. ; Arndt-Jovin, Donna J.

In: Cytometry Part A, 2013, vol. 83, no. 9, p. 794–805

We have revealed a reorientation of ectodomain I of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; ErbB1; Her1) in living CHO cells expressing the receptor, upon binding of the native ligand EGF. The state of the unliganded, nonactivated EGFR was compared to that exhibited after ligand addition in the presence of a kinase inhibitor that prevents endocytosis but does not interfere with binding or the...
