Quantitative and sensitive mapping of imidacloprid on plants using Multiphoton Electron Extraction Spectroscopy
10.1016/j.chemphys.2018.03.031 2018-04-04 Neonicotinoids, including imidacloprid, are extensively used for plant protection against insects. Unfortunately, these effective pesticides are one of the reasons for the decline of the bee population in recent decades. Ensuring application of minimal pestic... |

Hydrogen bonding between hydrides of the upper-right part of the periodic table
10.1016/j.chemphys.2018.03.036 2018-04-04 One of the most important electrostatic interactions between molecules is most definitely the hydrogen bond. Understanding the basis of this interaction may offer us the insight needed to understand its effect on the macroscopic scale. Hydrogen bonding is for... |

The protonated water trimer and its giant Fermi resonances
10.1016/j.chemphys.2018.04.003 2018-04-03 The protonated water trimer is a prototype “proton wire” that can transport two protons nearly concertedly. This “proton transfer mode” (PTM) is an important contributor to the infrared spectrum of the isolated gas-phase cluster. We have simulated its infrare... |

Effects of Al2O3 Atomic Layer Deposition on Interfacial Structure and Electron Transfer Dynamics at Re-Bipyridyl Complex/TiO2 Interfaces
10.1016/j.chemphys.2018.03.033 2018-04-03 Atomic layer deposition (ALD) of oxide layers on sensitizer- and/or catalyst- functionalized semiconductor surfaces have been used to improve the stability of dye-sensitized solar cells and photoelectrosynthesis cells. However, how the ALD layer affects the i... |

Entangled Photons from Single Atoms and Molecules
10.1016/j.chemphys.2018.04.001 2018-04-03 The first two-photon entanglement experiment performed 50 years ago by Kocher and Commins (KC) provided isolated pairs of entangled photons from an atomic three-state fluorescence cascade. In view of questioning of Bell’s theorem, data from these experiments ... |

An investigation about the structures, thermodynamics and kinetics of the formic acid involved molecular clusters
10.1016/j.chemphys.2018.03.029 2018-04-02 Despite the very important role of atmospheric aerosol nucleation in climate change and air quality, the detailed aerosol nucleation mechanism is still unclear. Here we investigated the formic acid (FA) involved multicomponent nucleation molecular clusters in... |

The Lord Armstrong's experiment in the view of band theory of liquid water
10.1016/j.chemphys.2018.03.020 2018-03-28 Liquid water considered in the band theory differs from the ice by localization of electrons in “tails” of the allowed energy bands separated by the wide band gap which defines electrochemical properties of water by means of the allowed energy levels above th... |

Ultrafast dynamics of coherent optical phonon in a thin film of Bi3Se2Te
10.1016/j.chemphys.2018.03.034 2018-03-28 We have performed ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy of transient absorption for a thin film of Bi3Se2Te, in which recent study result implies the existence of topological surface state. The observed relaxation signal was attributed to the band filling and ... |

Synthesis of hierarchical flower-like Co3O4 superstructure and its excellent catalytic property for ammonium perchlorate decomposition
10.1016/j.chemphys.2018.03.035 2018-03-28 Hierarchical flower-like cobalt tetroxide (Co3O4) was successfully synthesized via a facile precipitation method in combination with heat treatment of the cobalt oxalate precursor. The samples were systematically characterized by thermo gravimetric analysis a... |
