Ionic liquids are attractive liquid materials for many advanced applications. For targeted design, in-depth knowledge about their structure-property-relations is urgently needed. We prepared a set of novel protic ionic (PILs) with guanidinium cation either an ether or alkyl side chain and different anions. While being promising class, the available data insufficient to guide design. measured thermal transport properties, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra as well crystalline structures...
Color centers in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are promising candidates as quantum light sources for future technologies. In this work, we utilize a scattering-type near-field optical microscope (s-SNOM) to study the photoluminescence (PL) emission characteristics of such emitters metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy grown hBN. On one hand, demonstrate direct excitation and through interaction with nanofocus tip resulting sub-diffraction limited tip-enhanced PL hotspot. other show that indirect...
Synchrotrons can provide very intense and focused X-ray beams, which be used to study the structure of matter down atomic scale. In many experiments, quality results depends strongly on detector performance; in particular, experiments studying dynamics samples require fast, sensitive detectors. "LAMBDA" is a photon-counting hybrid pixel system for at synchrotrons, based Medipix3 readout chip. Its main features are combination comparatively small size (55 μm), high speed up 2000 frames per...
