Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles with Defects

TL;DR: In this paper, the introduction of defects into nanoscale ZnO, their comprehensive analysis using a combination of techniques (powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Xray absorption spectroscopy/extended X ray absorption fine structure (XAS/EXAFS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV-vis, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies coupled with ab-initio calculations), and the investigation of
Journal ArticleDOI

Stabilization of polar ZnO surfaces: validating microscopic models by using CO as a probe molecule.

TL;DR: Combining several types of first-principles calculations with advanced molecular beam methods, this study is able to provide conclusive evidence that the polar O-terminated surface of ZnO is either reconstructed or hydrogen covered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrical control over the Fe(II) spin crossover in a single molecule: Theory and experiment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on theoretical and experimental work involving a particular molecular switch, an [FeII(L)2]2+ complex, that utilizes a spin transition (crossover) and demonstrate that within a single molecule this transition can be triggered by charging the ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Switching of a coupled spin pair in a single-molecule junction.

TL;DR: The mechanically controlled break-junction technique is used to measure electronic transport through a single-molecule junction containing two coupled spin centres that are confined on two Co(2+) ions and can be used to switch between two states of the molecule.
