Step-ScanInterferometry for High-Fidelity HyperspectralNanoscopy

Abstract Fourier transform infrared nanospectroscopy (nano-FTIR) is an increasingly adopted characterization method that leverages decades of established knowledge in infrared spectroscopy at the nanoscale. It enables detailed characterization of composite materials and nanophoto...

Donor-SetSwitching in Morpholine-Functionalized 8-Hydroxyquinolines:Consequences for Metal Binding and the Bioactivity of RhCp* Complexes

Abstract Morpholine-functionalized 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ) derivatives with reduced Schiff base linkers, Morph-Et-HQ and Morph-Pr-HQ, were synthesized and comprehensively characterized to investigate the influence of linker length on donor-set preference, metal binding, and the b...

Inscription of Quasi-Sinusoidal Surface Relief Optical Gratings in ZEONOR™ Cyclic Olefin Polymer by a 10.5 MeV N4+ Ion Microbeam at Low Implanted Fluences

Direct writing of microstructures in ZEONOR™ cyclic olefin polymer, using a high-energy medium-mass ion microbeam, was proposed and demonstrated. Microbeams of 10.5 MeV N4+ ions were used. The implanted fluences were between 2.5·1012 and 2.0·1013 ion/cm2. The microstructures were...
