Uniaxial strain-induced phase transition in the 2D topological semimetal IrTe2

Nicholson, Christopher W. ; Rumo, Maxime ; Pulkkinen, Aki ; Kremer, Geoffroy ; Salzmann, Björn ; Mottas, Marie-Laure ; Hildebrand, Baptiste ; Jaouen, Thomas ; Kim, Timur K. ; Mukherjee, Saumya ; Ma, KeYuan ; Muntwiler, Matthias ; von Rohr, Fabian O. ; Cacho, Cephise ; Monney, Claude

Strain is ubiquitous in solid-state materials, but despite its fundamental importance and technological relevance, leveraging externally applied strain to gain control over material properties is still in its infancy. In particular, strain control over the diverse phase transitions and topological states in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides remains an open challenge. Here, we...

Kinetics and mechanism of mineral respiration: how iron hemes synchronize electron transfer rates

Chabert, Valentin ; Babel, Lucille ; Füeg, Michael P. ; Karamash, Maksym ; Madivoli, Edwin S. ; Herault, Nelly ; Dantas, Joana M. ; Salgueiro, Carlos A. ; Giese, Bernd ; Fromm, Katharina M.

In: Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2020, vol. 59, no. 30, p. 12331-12336

Anaerobic microorganisms of the Geobacter genus are effective electron sources for the synthesis of nanoparticles, for bioremediation of polluted water, and for the production of electricity in fuel cells. In multistep reactions, electrons are transferred via iron/heme cofactors of c‐type cytochromes from the inner cell membrane to extracellular metal ions, which are bound to outer membrane...

Distance dependence of single-molecule energy transfer to graphene measured with DNA origami nanopositioners

Kaminska, I. ; Bohlen, J. ; Rocchetti, S. ; Selbach, F. ; Acuna, Guillermo P. ; Tinnefeld, P.

In: Nano Letters, 2019, vol. 19, no. 7, p. 4257–4262

Despite the thorough investigation of graphene since 2004, altering its surface chemistry and reproducible functionalization remain challenging. This hinders fabrication of more complex hybrid materials with controlled architectures, and as a consequence the development of sensitive and reliable sensors and biological assays. In this contribution, we introduce DNA origami structures as...

Physiological protein blocks direct the Mre11–Rad50–Xrs2 and Sae2 nuclease complex to initiate DNA end resection

Reginato, Giordano ; Cannavo, Elda ; Cejka, Petr

In: Genes and Development, 2017, vol. 31, no. 23-24, p. 2325-2330

DNA double-strand break repair by homologous recombination is initiated by DNA end resection, which is commenced by the Mre11–Rad50–Xrs2 complex and Sae2 in yeast. Here we report that the nonhomologous end joining factor Ku limits the exonuclease activity of Mre11 and promotes its endonuclease to cleave 5'-terminated DNA strands at break sites. Following initial endonucleolytic cleavage...

Enhanced pairing susceptibility in a photodoped two-orbital Hubbard model

Werner, Philipp ; Strand, Hugo U. R. ; Hoshino, Shintaro ; Murakami, Yuta ; Eckstein, Martin

In: Physical Review B, 2018, vol. 97, no. 16, p. 165119

Local spin fluctuations provide the glue for orbital-singlet spin-triplet pairing in the doped Mott insulating regime of multiorbital Hubbard models. At large Hubbard repulsion U, the pairing susceptibility is nevertheless tiny because the pairing interaction cannot overcome the suppression of charge fluctuations. Using nonequilibrium dynamical mean field simulations of the two-orbital...

Lattice-mediated magnetic order melting in ${\mathrm{TbMnO}}_{3}$

Baldini, Edoardo ; Kubacka, Teresa ; Mallett, Benjamin P. P. ; Ma, Chao ; Koohpayeh, Seyed M. ; Zhu, Yimei ; Bernhard, Christian ; Johnson, Steven L. ; Carbone, Fabrizio

In: Physical Review B, 2018, vol. 97, no. 12, p. 125149

Recent ultrafast magnetic-sensitive measurements [Johnson et al., Phys. Rev. B 92, 184429 (2015); Bothschafter et al., Phys. Rev. B 96, 184414 (2017)] have revealed a delayed melting of the long-range cycloid spin order in TbMnO3 following photoexcitation across the fundamental Mott-Hubbard gap. The microscopic mechanism behind this slow transfer of energy from the photoexcited carriers to...
