Temperature dependence of chromatic dispersion for hygroscopic liquids
Using a modified Abbe refractometer, the chromatic dispersion and temperature dependence of the refractive index of a range of hygroscopic liquids was measured from 390 to 1070 nm for temperatures from 1 to 45°C. To obtain an analytical formula, t...
Topological phase diagram of Eu-based compounds
Combined experimental, theoretical, and computational investigations have identified the origin of outstanding magnetooptical and magnetotransport properties of EuCd2As2 and provided topological and magnetic phase diagrams for various classes of E...
Interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with host cells and antibodies: experiment and simulation
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the primary etiological agent responsible for the catastrophic global COVID-19 pandemic, as officially declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020. This pandemic h...
How soluble misfolded proteins bypass chaperones at the molecular level
Subpopulations of soluble, misfolded proteins can bypass chaperones within cells. The extent of this phenomenon and how it happens at the molecular level are unknown. Through a meta-analysis of the experimental literature we find that in all quan...
Excited-state singlet–triplet inversion in hexagonal aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds
Ab initio computations performed by physicists from IF PAS and Technical University of Munich indicate on existence of a wide class of organic molecules with inverted sequence of the lowest singlet and triplet states. This discovery may have impor...
Carbon Oxide Decomposition as a Novel Technique for Ultrahigh Quality ZnO Nanowire Crystallization
By modifying the classic method of growing ZnO nanowires, we were able to achieve an exceptionally high level of structural and optical quality in individual ZnO nanowires. The half-width of the exciton bound to the donor measured an unprecedented...
Fast Electrically Switchable Large Gap Quantum Spin Hall States
First-principles calculations by physicists from IF PAN and collaborators indicate the presence of a wide energy gap and the possibility of rapid switching between quantum spin Hall states in a recently discovered family of two-dimensional materials.
Universality of Internal Correlations of Strongly Interacting p-Wave Fermions in One-Dimensional Geometry
The various properties of ultracold atomic gases significantly depend on the shape of the trap in which they are contained. However, it turns out that the quantum correlations between their subsystems can be completely independent of this. Such is...
