Corrosion des alliages d'aluminium des circuits de refroidissement à eau de véhicules en contexte patrimonial : Diagnostic à l'aide d'outils d'analyse portables et en libre accès sur un coprus de véhicules conservés au Musée National de l'Automobile de Mulhouse (Collection Schlumpf)

Several vehicles conserved in the collections of the Mulhouse National Automobile Museum (Schlumpf Collection), notably Bugatti vehicles that have been kept in running conditions, develop recurring corrosions on parts of their cooling system made of aluminum alloys. This dissertation aims to diagnose these alterations on some of those vehicles, dating between 1920 and 1940, by assessing the...

The transition metal chalcogenide Ta2NiSe5 undergoes a second-order phase transition at Tc=328K involving a small lattice distortion. Below Tc, a band gap at the center of its Brillouin zone increases up to about 0.35 eV. In this work, we study the electronic structure of Ta2NiSe5 in its low-temperature semiconducting phase, using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Ni L3 edge....

Resonance raman optical activity shows unusual structural sensitivity for systems in resonance with multiple excited states: vitamin B12 case

Machalska, Ewa ; Zajac, Grzegorz ; Gruca, Anna ; Zobi, Fabio ; Baranska, Malgorzata ; Kaczor, Agnieszka

In this work, cobalamins with different upper axial substituents and a cobalamin derivative with a ring modification were studied using chiroptical spectroscopies, in particular resonance Raman optical activity (RROA), to shed light on the influence of structural modifications on RROA spectra in these strongly chiral systems in resonance with multiple excited states at 532 nm excitation. We...

Characterization of the shape anisotropy of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles during thermal decomposition

Vanhecke, Dimitri ; Crippa, Federica ; Lattuada, Marco ; Balog, Sandor ; Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara ; Petri-Fink, Alke

Magnetosomes are near-perfect intracellular magnetite nanocrystals found in magnetotactic bacteria. Their synthetic imitation, known as superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), have found applications in a variety of (nano)medicinal fields such as magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, multimodal imaging and drug carriers. In order to perform these functions in medicine,...

Backfolded acoustic phonons as ultrasonic probes in metal-oxide superlattices

Lyzwa, Fryderyk ; Chan, A. ; Khmaladze, Jarji ; Fürsich, K. ; Keimer, B. ; Bernhard, Christian ; Minola, M. ; Mallett, Benjamin P. P.

In: Physical Review Materials, 2020, vol. 4, no. 4, p. 043606

Ultrasonics have been an incisive probe of internal interfaces in a wide variety of systems ranging from stars to solids. For thin-film structures, however, ultrasound is largely ineffective because the signal is dominated by the substrate. Using confocal Raman spectromicroscopy, we show that multiple reflection of sound waves at internal interfaces of a metal-oxide superlattice generates...

Real- and Q-space travelling: multi-dimensional distribution maps of crystal-lattice strain (∊044) and tilt of suspended monolithic silicon nanowire structures

Dolabella, Simone ; Frison, Ruggero ; Chahine, Gilbert A. ; Richter, Carsten ; Schulli, Tobias U. ; Tasdemir, Zuhal ; Alaca, B. Erdem ; Leblebic, Yusuf ; Dommann, Alex ; Neels, Antonia

In: Journal of Applied Crystallography, 2020, vol. 53, no. 1, p. 58–68

Silicon nanowire-based sensors find many applications in micro- and nano- electromechanical systems, thanks to their unique characteristics of flexibility and strength that emerge at the nanoscale. This work is the first study of this class of micro- and nano-fabricated silicon-based structures adopting the scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy technique for mapping the in-plane crystalline...
