We explore the structure of a series protic Ionic Liquids based on choline cation and amino acid anions. In series, length branching alkyl chain varies. Ab initio molecular dynamics, X-ray diffraction measurements, infrared spectra have been used to provide reliable picture short-range short-time dynamic process that characterize fluids. put special emphasis peculiar complicated network hydrogen bonds stem from amphoteric nature anion moiety. The use ab dynamics allows us calculate "exact"...
Topological insulator nanoparticles (TINPs) host topologically protected Dirac surface states, just like their bulk counterparts. For TINPs of radius <100 nm, quantum confinement on the results in discretization cone. This system discrete energy levels is referred to as a topological dot (TQD) with level spacing order Terahertz (THz), which tunable material-type and particle size. The presence these discretized turn leads new electron-mediated phonon-light coupling THz range, resulting mode...
The ultra-short electron beams, produced through the velocity bunching compression technique at SPARC_LAB test Facility (Frascati, Italy), are used to produce Coherent Transition Radiation in terahertz (THz) range. This paper reports on main features of this THz source, which have a spectral coverage up 5 THz, pulse duration down 100 fs, and an energy per order tens μJ. These figures merits open possibility apply source for nonlinear pump-probe experiments Solid-State Physics material science.
Idiopathic scoliosis is a complicated orthopedic disorder marked by side-to-side curvature of the spine, cause which unknown and it predominantly affects children adolescents. The Cobb angle conventional technique for evaluating severity through X-rays; however, has limitations, including inter intra-observer variability that can compromise measurement accuracy. LiDAR (Light Detection Ranging) technology presents promising radiation-free alternative generating accurate three-dimensional...
Idiopathic scoliosis is a complex orthopedic condition marked by lateral spinal curvature, typically affecting children and adolescents. The Cobb angle key metric for evaluating severity through X-rays, but its measurement can suffer from variability due to imaging quality, positioning physician experience, with an acceptable range of variation up 5 degrees. LiDAR technology offers advantages over traditional methods, as it eliminates ionizing radiation provides precise three-dimensional...
The linac-based Terahertz source at the SPARC_LAB test facility is able to generate highly intense broadband pulses <i>via</i> coherent transition radiation (CTR) from high brightness electron beams. THz pulse duration typically down 100 fs RMS and can be tuned through bunch shaping. measured stored energy in a single has reached 40 μJ, which corresponds peak electric field of 1.6 MV/cm focus. Here we present main features, particular spatial spectral distributions characterizations source,...
Topological insulators (TIs) present a neoteric class of materials, which support delocalised, conducting surface states despite an insulating bulk. Due to their intriguing electronic properties, optical properties have received relatively less attention. Even well studied is behaviour in the nanoregime, with most studies thus far focusing on bulk samples - part due technical challenges synthesizing TI nanostructures. We study topological insulator nanoparticles (TINPs), for quantum effects...
Abstract We explore the possibility of detecting anomalous structures buried under skin surface by studying deviations from ideal Airy pattern point-spread function (PSF) a terahertz microscope that includes as one reflecting surfaces optical system. Using custom with monochromatic point source emitting at 0.611 THz, we record PSF images microbolometer camera. Skin simulants based on collagen gel, and without artificial structures, have been analyzed. The geometrical features characterizing...
