📢 Publication News! 📚🔬 We are pleased to present a new paper, in which Florian Johst and 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳. 𝗔𝗹𝗳 𝗠𝗲𝘄𝘀 were involved. It is a collaboration between the University of Hamburg, University of Leipzig and the Frauenhofer-IAP-CAN, including 𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗮 𝗟𝗲𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲, 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗻, Sonja Zeller (geb. Krohn), 𝗞𝗹𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂, 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳. 𝗞𝗻𝘂𝘁 𝗔𝘀𝗺𝗶𝘀, and 𝗕𝗷ö𝗿𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻. The paper is titled "Probing the Temperature of Single Quantum Dots Confined in a Nanoparticle Ion Trap by Fluorescence Thermometry."   🔍 Research Highlights: This study introduces an innovative method to determine the temperature of single CdSe/CdS quantum dots inside an ion trap through their temperature dependent emission spectra. Utilizing the empirical Varshni relation, this method allows for precise temperature determination. The research shows a linear correlation between the QD and ion trap temperatures, with a slope of one and an offset of 113 K. Such findings are consistent with a simple power balance model, providing valuable perspectives on the of various heating and cooling processes, such as photoabsorption, fluorescence, and collisional cooling, on trapped particles. This work stands as a significant contribution to the field by gaining insights into the relevance of various heating and cooling processes for particles caught in ion traps.   For more insights into the methodology and implications of this research, we encourage you to delve into the full article. https://lnkd.in/gys4GZYj #Nanotechnology #QuantumDots #ResearchInnovation #ScientificDiscovery

Researchers from JNCASR have introduced a new quantitative measure to evaluate the mechanical flexibility of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Their method assesses flexibility based on internal structural rearrangements and can rate crystals on a scale from zero to one. This novel approach offers deeper insights into MOFs' flexibility, facilitating the identification of next-generation flexible materials through database screening. The interdisciplinary study, involving scientists from Oxford University and UC Santa Barbara, aims to revolutionize materials science by enhancing the design and application of ultra-flexible crystalline materials.
