The group of 2D materials contains almost all the elements of the periodic table. In contrast to the graphene sheet, they are abundant, this creates a variety of electronic properties including metals, semimetals, insulators and semiconductors. Band gaps of these materials are direct or indirect by ranging from ultraviolet to infrared, for this reason, have received much attention for nanoelect...

In this paper, we provide detailed insights into the electronic structure of the gas phase biphenylene molecule through core and valence spectroscopy. By comparing results of X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) measurements with ΔSCF core-hole calculations in the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT), we could decompose the characteristic contributions to the total spectra and assign ...

Spontaneous Raman spectroscopy is a formidable tool to probe molecular vibrations. Under electronic resonance conditions, the cross section can be selectively enhanced enabling structural sensitivity to specific chromophores and reaction centers. The addition of an ultrashort, broadband femtosecond pulse to the excitation field allows for coherent stimulation of diverse molecular vibrations. Wi...

A theoretical description of femtosecond two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy of multichromophoric systems is presented. Applying the stationary phase approximation to the calculation of photon echo spectra and taking into account exciton relaxation processes, we obtain an analytic expression for numerical simulations of time- and frequency-resolved 2D photon echo signals. The delocalization...

Lead tungstate (PbWO4) crystallizes in the scheelite (CaWO4) structure, is transparent (Eg ≈ 4.2 eV), and has a broad intrinsic luminescence band at 420 nm. The high atomic numbers, high density, short electron and γ-ray stopping range, radiation hardness, and short lifetime of its intrinsic luminescence at room temperature (~10ns), have resulted in the selection of PbWO4 as the scintillator fo...

Two triarylamine centers bridged through an aliphatic bridge feature unexpected charge transfer properties, bearing an important electronic coupling between them in the absence of a π linker; EPR, electrochemistry, electronic spectroscopy and first principles molecular calculations are combined to study the electronic structure of this compound.

We report a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy study of the structural and electronic properties of a bilayer of terbium double-decker (bis(phthalocyaninato)terbium(III), TbPc2) molecules on Au(111) at 5 K. The TbPc2 molecules are found to adsorb flat on top of a first compact TbPc2 monolayer on Au(111), forming a square-like packing similar to the underlying first l...

Changes in the electronic structure of pigments in protein environments and of polar molecules in solution inevitably induce a re-adaption of molecular nuclear structure. Both changes of electronic and vibrational energies can be probed with visible or infrared lasers, such as two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy or vibrational spectroscopy. The extent to which the two changes are correlated...

the surface and interfacial analysis of silicon oxide film on silicon substrate is particularly crucial in the nano-electronic devices. for this purpose, series of experiments have been demonstrated to grow oxide film on si (111) substrate. then these films have been used to study the structure of the film by using x-ray photo emission spectroscopy (xps) technique. the obtained results indicate...
