The increasing interest in metallic nanoparticles (NP) is motivated by their potential applications in photonics, information storage, detection systems, therapeutics, diagnostics, photovoltaic and catalysis. Their size and shape (nanospheres,…

We report an original method for directly fabricating gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in a polymer matrix using a thermal treatment technique and theoretically and experimentally investigate their plasmonic properties. The polymeric-metallic…
We report on speeding-up equilibrium recovery in the previously unexplored general case of the underdamped regime using an optically levitated particle. We accelerate the convergence toward equilibrium by an order of magnitude compared to the…

We theoretically and numerically investigate the spin fluctuations induced in a thermal atomic ensemble by an external fluctuating uniaxial magnetic field, in the context of a standard spin noise spectroscopy (SNS) experiment. We show that…

The objective of the proposed macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO) mission is to harness space for achieving long free-fall times, extreme vacuum, nano-gravity, and cryogenic temperatures to test the foundations of physics in macroscopic quantum…

Nanographene materials are promising building blocks for the growing field of low-dimensional materials for optics, electronics and biophotonics applications. In particular, bottom-up synthesized 0D graphene quantum dots show great potential as…

The synthesis, spectroscopic and structural characterization, optical and electrochemical properties and theo-retical studies of a family of four new copper(II) complexes supported by a ferrocene-containing N2O2-tetra-dentate chiral Schiff base…
Polydiacetylenes are deeply investigated for their mechanofluorochromic behavior: the blue, non-emitting solid phase, obtained by photopolymerization of the diacetylene precursor, is converted to the red, emitting one by a mechanical stimulus…
