We report the synthesis and ultrafast excited-state dynamics of two new meso-meso, β-β, β-β triply fused diporphyrins, Zn-3DP and Pd-3DP. Both compounds were found to have short excited-state lifetimes: Zn-3DP possessed an average S1 lifetime of 14 ps before nonradiative deactivation to the ground state, whereas Pd-3D…

Using density functional theory with the climbing-image nudged-elastic-band method, we study the hydrogen-induced disruption of the ZnO(0001) polar surface. We show that a hydrogen atom adsorbed on the (0001) Zn surface can penetrate into the subsurface by overcoming an energy barrier. When a hydrogen atom approaches…

We experimentally verify that a flat metamaterial lens formed by nonconnected crossed metallic wires enables the partial focusing of electromagnetic waves, as a consequence of the phenomenon of all-angle broadband negative refraction in such media. We prove that the strength of the negative refraction effect can be co…

We investigate nematic wetting and filling transitions of crenellated surfaces (rectangular gratings) by numerical minimization of the Landau-de Gennes free energy as a function of the anchoring strength, for a wide range of the surface geometrical parameters: depth, width, and separation of the crenels. We have found…

Ice is known to collapse to amorphous ice upon pressurization at low temperatures and shows the unusual feature of multiple distinct solid amorphous water states, which have inspired models of liquid water’s structure and unusual properties. Here, we use heat capacity C p measurements to show that similarly collapsed…
