This article focuses on the adequate surfactant concentration regime in which MMA droplets are stabilized sufficiently against coalescence during high-pressure homogenization but still no diffusion processes from droplets to micelles take place in the polymerization. Monomer miniemulsions with different surfactant con…

By studying the dielectric properties of the geometrically frustrated spinel CdV${}_{2}$O${}_{4}$, we observe ferroelectricity developing at the transition into the collinear antiferromagnetic ground state. In this multiferroic spinel, ferroelectricity is driven by local exchange striction and not by the more common s…

High pressure, low temperature Raman measurements performed on LaMnO3 up to 34 GPa provide the first experimental evidence for the persistence of the Jahn-Teller distortion over the entire stability range of the insulating phase. This result resolves the ongoing debate about the nature of the pressure driven insulator…

A vast number of non-covalent interaction energies at the counterpoise corrected CCSD(T) level have been collected from the literature to build a diverse new dataset. The whole dataset, which consists of 2027 CCSD(T) energies, includes most of the published data at this level. A large subset of the data was then used…

Abstract In surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the scattered intensity is drastically increased due to a resonant interaction with surface plasmons of coin metals. SERS is a nondestructive spectroscopic method applied also to biomedical samples. It inherits the advantages of normal Raman spectroscopy and at the…

A doping strategy aimed at improving n-type conductivity in perovskite oxides by enhancing bulk oxide ion mobility is proposed and discussed. To justify and further assess this premise, the oxygen deficiency (δ) and conductivity (σ) of reduced La 0.4 Sr 0.4 Ga x Ti 1− x O 3− x /2−δ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15) samples were studied…

Distortion is the key: In situ EPR spectroscopy provides the first experimental confirmation that the adsorption of O2 molecules on a stoichiometric ultrathin MgO(001) film on Mo(001) leads to the spontaneous formation of O2.− radicals. The results show that polaronic distortion of the MgO lattice (see picture; Mg yel…
