Long-ranged Cu-based order with $$d_{z^2}$$ orbital character at a YBa2Cu3O7/ manganite interface

Gaina, Roxana ; Nicholson, Christopher W. ; Rumo, Maxime ; Sarkar, Subhrangsu ; Khmaladze, Jarji ; Paris, Eugenio ; Tseng, Yi ; Zhang, Wenliang ; Asmara, Teguh C. ; McNally, Daniel ; Piamonteze, Cinthia ; Weschke, Eugen ; Schmitt, Thorsten ; Monney, Claude ; Bernhard, Christian

The interplay of nearly degenerate orders in quantum materials can lead to a myriad of emergent phases. A prominent case is that of the high-Tc cuprates for which the relationship between superconductivity and a short-ranged, incommensurate charge density wave in the CuO2 planes involving the dx2−y2 orbitals (Cu-CDW) is a subject of great current interest. Strong modifications of the...

Inverting structures: from micelles via emulsions to internally self-assembled water and oil continuous nanocarriers

Glatter, Otto ; Salentinig, Stefan

In: Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 2020, vol. 49, p. 82–93

Fluid-like colloidal structures are key components in nature's own functional materials and important for various applications. For instance, self-assembled structures are formed spontaneously by amphiphilic molecules in solvent, tailored by directional noncovalent intermolecular forces. These structures form the framework of cells defining their geometry and microenvironments for chemical...

Transition from light diffusion to localization in three-dimensional amorphous dielectric networks near the band edge

Haberko, Jakub ; Froufe-Pérez, Luis S. ; Scheffold, Frank

In: Nature Communications, 2020, vol. 11, no. 1, p. 4867

AbstractLocalization of light is the photon analog of electron localization in disordered lattices, for whose discovery Anderson received the Nobel prize in 1977. The question about its existence in open three-dimensional materials has eluded an experimental and full theoretical verification for decades. Here we study numerically electromagnetic vector wave transmittance through realistic...

Colloidal transformations in ms2 virus particles: driven by ph, influenced by natural organic matter

Watts, Samuel ; Julian, Timothy R. ; Maniura-Weber, Katharina ; Graule, Thomas ; Salentinig, Stefan

In: ACS Nano, 2020, vol. 14, no. 2, p. 1879–1887

Enteric viruses, such as enterovirus, norovirus, and rotavirus, are among the leading causes of disease outbreaks due to contaminated drinking and recreational water. Viruses are difficult to remove from water through filtration based on physical size exclusion—for example by gravity-driven filters—due to their nanoscale size. To understand virus removal in drinking water treatment ...

Internal lamellar and inverse hexagonal liquid crystalline phases during the digestion of krill and astaxanthin oil-in-water emulsions

Yaghmur, Anan ; Lotfi, Saleh ; Ariabod, Sarah Atoussa ; Bor, Gizem ; Gontsarik, Mark ; Salentinig, Stefan

In: Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2019, vol. 7, p. -

Krill oil represents an important alternative natural source of omega-3 (ω-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Considering the beneficial health effects of these essential fatty acids, particularly in various disorders including cancer, cardiovascular, and inflammation diseases, it is of paramount importance to gain insight into the digestibility of krill oil. In this work, we study the...

Colloidal dynamics and elasticity of dense wax particle suspensions over a wide range of volume fractions when tuning the softness by temperature

Yoon, Jiwon ; Scheffold, Frank ; Ahn, Kyung Hyun

In: Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 2019, vol. 576, p. 1–8

We report on the colloidal dynamics and rheology of liquid droplet emulsions and solid particle suspensions over a wide range of volume fractions. Diffusing wave spectroscopy and rheometry were utilized to study the micro/macroscale properties of 1-eicosene wax particles dispersed in water. By changing the temperature, the wax droplets change their properties from soft to hard or vice versa,...

Magnetic-field effects on one-dimensional Anderson localization of light

Schertel, Lukas ; Irtenkauf, Oliver ; Aegerter, Christof M. ; Maret, Georg ; Aubry, Geoffroy J.

In: Physical Review A, 2019, vol. 100, no. 4, p. 043818

Transport of coherent waves in multiple-scattering media may exhibit fundamental, nonintuitive phenomena such as halt of diffusion by disorder called Anderson localization. For electromagnetic waves, this phenomenon was observed only in one and two dimensions so far. However, none of these experiments studied the contribution of reciprocal paths nor their manipulation by external fields. In...
