High- fi delity non-adiabatic cutting and stitching of a spin chain via local control
(IOP Publishing, 2018-10-18)
We propose and analyze, focusing on non-adiabatic effects, a technique of manipulating quantum spin systems based on local 'cutting' and 'stitching' of the Heisenberg exchange coupling between the spins. This first operation ...
Water Adsorption on the β-Dicalcium Silicate Surface from DFT Simulations

; López Arbeloa, Iñigo María; Shen, Xiaodong (MDPI, 2018-09-04)
; López Arbeloa, Iñigo María; Shen, Xiaodong (MDPI, 2018-09-04)
beta-dicalcium silicate (beta-Ca2SiO4 or beta-C2S in cement chemistry notation) is one of the most important minerals in cement. An improvement of its hydration rate would be the key point for developing environmentally-friendly ...
Energetic cost of quantum control protocols
(IOP, 2019-10-28)
We quantitatively assess the energetic cost of several well-known control protocols that achieve a finite time adiabatic dynamics, namely counterdiabatic and local counterdiabatic driving, optimal control, and inverse ...
Enhanced precision bound of low-temperature quantum thermometry via dynamical control
(Nature, 2019-12-13)
High-precision low-temperature thermometry is a challenge for experimental quantum physics and quantum sensing. Here we consider a thermometer modeled by a dynamically-controlled multilevel quantum probe in contact with a ...
Ready Access to Molecular Rotors Based on Boron Dipyrromethene Dyes-Coumarin Dyads Featuring Broadband Absorption
; ; Bañuelos Prieto, Jorge ; ; ; ; (MDPI, 2020-02-12)
; ; ; ; (MDPI, 2020-02-12)
Herein we report on a straightforward access method for boron dipyrromethene dyes (BODIPYs)-coumarin hybrids linked through their respective 8- and 6- positions, with wide functionalization of the coumarin fragment, using ...
In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation of a Folate-Targeted Copolymeric Submicrohydrogel Based on N-Isopropylacrylamide as 5-Fluorouracil Delivery System
(MDPI, 2011-09)
Folate-targeted poly[(p-nitrophenyl acrylate)-co-(N-isopropylacrylamide)] nanohydrogel (F-SubMG) was loaded with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) to obtain low (16.3 +/- 1.9 mu g 5-FU/mg F-SubMG) and high (46.8 +/- 3.8 mu g 5-FU/mg ...
Pumped double quantum dot with spin-orbit coupling
(Springer, 2011-03)
We study driven by an external electric field quantum orbital and spin dynamics of electron in a one-dimensional double quantum dot with spin-orbit coupling. Two types of external perturbation are considered: a periodic ...
Temperature-and pH-Sensitive Nanohydrogels of Poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) for Food Packaging Applications: Modelling the Swelling-Collapse Behaviour
(Public Library Science, 2014-02-10)
Temperature-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) nanohydrogels were synthesized by nanoemulsion polymerization in water-in-oil systems. Several cross-linking degrees and the incorporation of acrylic acid as comonomer ...
The effect of low solubility organic acids on the hygroscopicity of sodium halide aerosols
Miñambres Durán, Lorena; Méndez Alija, Estíbaliz; Sánchez Rayo, María Nieves; Castaño Almendral, Fernando; Basterrechea Elguezabal, Francisco José (Copernicus Gesellschaft, 2014)
(Copernicus Gesellschaft, 2014)
In order to accurately assess the influence of fatty acids on the hygroscopic and other physicochemical properties of sea salt aerosols, hexanoic, octanoic or lauric acid together with sodium halide salts (NaCl, NaBr and ...
Development of Geometry-Controlled All-Orthogonal BODIPY Trimers for Photodynamic Therapy and Phototheragnosis

; Rebollar, Esther ; ; ; ; ; (American Chemical Society, 2022-05)
We have established an easy synthetic protocol for selectively developing all-orthogonal BODIPY trimers with unprece-dented geometries on the basis of selecting methyl oxidation versus electrophilic formylation of key ...
