An octupolar bis(porphyrinato) terbium(iii) complex with the highest off-resonant hyperpolarizability

Study of the flexural sensitivity and resonant frequency of an inclined AFM cantilever with sidewall probe

The resonant frequency and sensitivity of an atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever with assembled cantilever probe (ACP) have been analyzed and a closed-form expression for the sensitivity of vibration modes has been obtained. The proposed ACP comprises an inclined cantilever and extension, and a tip located at the free end of the extension, which makes the AFM capable of topography at sidew...

Complex-band structure: a method to determine the off-resonant electron transport in oligomers

We validate that off-resonant electron transport across ultra-short oligomer molecular junctions is characterised by a conductance which decays exponentially with length, and we discuss a method to determine the damping factor via the energy spectrum of a periodic structure as a function of complex wavevector. An exact mapping to the complex wavevector is demonstrated by first-principle-based c...
