Femtosecond broadband photoluminescence studies are presented for Ir(ppy)3 (Ir1), Ir(ppy)2(pic) (Ir2), Ir(ppy)2(bpy)(PF6) (Ir3), Ir(ppz)3 (Ir4), and Ir(ppz)2dipy (Ir5) (where ppy = 2-phenylpyridine, pic = picolinate, bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, ppz = 1-phenylpyrazole, and dipy = 5-phenyldipyrrinato) in solution. Upon 400-nm excitation of Ir1-Ir3, we obs...
Scientific Reports 5 : Article number: 14834 10.1038/srep14834 ; published online: 06 October 2015 ; updated: 10 June 2016 . This Article contains errors in Figure 1: the coloured axes have been inverted.
Using femtosecond-resolved photoluminescence up-conversion, we report the observation of the fluorescence of the high-lying ligand-centred (LC) electronic state upon 266 nm excitation of an iridium complex, Ir(ppy)3, with a lifetime of 70±10 fs. It is accompanied by a simultaneous emission of all lower lying electronic states, except the lowest tri...
Transition metal oxides are among the most promising solar materials, whose properties rely on the generation, transport and trapping of charge carriers (electrons and holes). Identifying the latter's dynamics at room temperature requires tools that combine elemental and structural sensitivity, with the atomic scale resolution of time (femtoseconds...
Significance
This work is the first demonstration, to our knowledge, of picosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy to probe ligand binding to heme proteins in physiological media. By Fe K-edge absorption spectroscopy, we directly interrogate the active center of the protein, delivering insight into its electronic and geometric structure. In particula...
A wide variety of physicochemical processes at a molecular level, in particular charge or energy transfer, electronic and vibrational relaxation, are at the origin of biological functionality of proteins and organometallic compounds. The work reported in this thesis is devoted to the study of these molecular dynamics in selected organometallic syst...
The effect of ambient temperature on the parameters of the single-bubble sonoluminescence in sulfuric acid (SA) diluted in water is studied. Using a hydrochemical model, three dominant instabilities of shape, Bjerknes, and diffusion are considered. The phase diagrams of the bubble in the (R0 - Pa) space are presented, and the parametric dependence...
The possibility of photonuclear transmutation of 93Zr, a highly radioactive nuclear waste with a half-life of 1.53 million years, into 92Zr its stable isotope, through a (γ, n) reaction has been analytically evaluated in this paper. By focusing Intensities more than 1020W/cm2 onto a solid target, high energy electron generation, Bremsstrahlung and...
Sonoluminescence (SL) radiation from an argon bubble in water and in different concentrations of sulfuric acid has numerically been studied to quantify the effects of vapor pressure and viscosity of the liquid on cavitation luminescence in a liquid with controllable vapor pressure and viscosity. For the solutions containing the noble gas with low p...
Effect of thermal conduction on radiation from a single cavitating bubble has been studied in a hydrochemical framework including variation of heat conductivity of noble gases up to 2500 K. Results of numerical simulation show that thermal conductivity plays an important role in determining ultimate cavitation temperature. Higher thermal conductivi...
