Fe Cations Control the Plasmon Evolution in CuFeS2 Nanocrystals
Research on the synthesis of CuFeS2, an exciting semiconductor, outlines a method to verify its phase purity and investigate its properties.
Approaching the ideal limit for spin-orbit-coupled quantum moments in iridium halides
New research from a large team from 5 Universities and 2 National Labs reports on a new family of iridium halide materials that provide the best-yet realization of the ideal quantum limit for spin-orbit coupled magnetic moments. These Jeff=½ magnets are promising systems to engineer new kinds of superconductors and realize new kinds of magnetic interactions.
BioSAXS facility at CHEXS develops stringent anoxic sample environment
From the gut microbiome to the depths of the ocean, life has evolved to thrive in the absence of oxygen. In fact, it is not hyperbole to say that life as we know it would not exist without the oxygen sensitive metalloenzymes that we all rely on.
High-pressure small-angle X-ray scattering cell for biological solutions and soft materials
Pressure is a fundamental thermodynamic parameter controlling the behavior of biological macromolecules. In many cases pressure alters molecular shape and therefore also the biological function. Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is a widely used method to determine the shape and size of macromolecules, but typical sample cells for SAXS experiments are unsuitable for use at high pressures.
