Diffuse interstellar clouds have long been thought to be relatively devoid of molecules,
because of their low densities and high radiation fields. However, in the past ten years or so …

Investigators have recorded the electronic spectra of assorted carbon-chain systems in the
gas phase using a variety of methods, ranging from direct cavity ringdown absorption …

Confining carbyne to a space that allows for stability and controlled reactivity is a very
appealing approach to have access to materials with tunable optical and electronic …

In 2019 it was exactly 100 years ago that the first two DIBs, diffuse interstellar bands, were
discovered by Mary Lea Heger. Today some 500+ DIBs are known. In numerous …

The concept of building logically functional networks employing spintronics or magnetic
heterostructures is becoming more and more popular today. Incorporating logical segments …

We combine the high-level quantum chemistry theory CCSD and EOM-CCSD together with
local and global Λ processes to investigate the details of the laser-induced ultrafast spin …

Because the laboratory gas-phase electronic spectra of only the three polyatomic bare
carbon chains C 3, C 4 and C 5 are available, we have made a further attempt to detect the …

The electronic and optical properties of extended functionalized carbyne chains, polyynes
and cumulenes, are investigated with the localized Hartree–Fock method, with conventional …

1-Diazo-2, 4-pentadiyne (6a), along with both monodeuterio isotopomers 6b and 6c, has
been synthesized via a route that proceeds through diacetylene, 2, 4-pentadiynal, and 2, 4 …

Linear carbon chains (LCCs) have been shown to grow inside double-walled carbon
nanotubes (DWCNTs), but isolating them from this hosting material represents one of the …
