¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling01:27

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling

2.9K
The coupling interactions of nuclei across four or more bonds are usually weak, with J values less than 1 Hz. While these are usually not observed in spectra, the presence of multiple bonds along the coupling pathway can result in observable long-range coupling.
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)

2.0K
Two NMR-active nuclei bonded to a central atom can be involved in geminal or two-bond coupling. Geminal coupling is commonly seen between diastereotopic protons in chiral molecules and unsymmetrical alkenes, among others.
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

Electrostatic Boundary Conditions in Dielectrics

2.1K
When an electric field passes from one homogeneous medium to another, crossing the boundary between the two mediums imparts a discontinuity in the electric field. This results in electrostatic boundary conditions that depend on the type of mediums the field propagates through.
Consider a case where both the mediums across a boundary are two different dielectric materials. Recall that the electric field and electric displacement are proportional and related through the material's permittivity....

The Electrical Double Layer01:30

The Electrical Double Layer

182
In the region where two bulk phases meet, an intricate electric charge distribution arises due to charge transfer, ion adsorption, molecular orientation, and charge distortion. This complex distribution is commonly referred to as the electrical double layer.When a solid electrode interfaces with ions in an electrolyte solution, the speed of electron transfer dictates the rates of oxidation and reduction. The electrode acquires a charge through the escape of atoms into the solution as cations or...

Bending of Members Made of Several Materials

In analyzing a structural member composed of two different materials with identical cross-sectional areas, it is crucial to understand how their distinct elastic properties affect the member's response under load. The analysis involves assessing stress and strain distributions using the transformed section concept, which accounts for variations in material properties.
Hooke's Law determines stress in each material, stating that stress is proportional to strain but varies due to each material's...

Relation between Poisson's ratio, Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity01:15

Relation between Poisson's ratio, Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity

759
Deformation occurs in axial and transverse directions when an axial load is applied to a slender bar. This deformation impacts the cubic element within the bar, transforming it into either a rectangular parallelepiped or a rhombus, contingent on its orientation. This transformation process induces shearing strain. Axial loading elicits both shearing and normal strains. Applying an axial load instigates equal normal and shearing stresses on elements oriented at a 45° angle to the load axis.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Condensed Matter Physics

Background:

  • Two-dimensional (2D) materials like graphene possess strong in-plane bonds but weak inter-layer interactions.
  • Existing methods for studying in-plane elasticity are well-established, but out-of-plane elasticity measurements are limited.
  • Measuring perpendicular elasticity is difficult due to the small interlayer distances requiring sub-nanometer indentation depths.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply a high-resolution indentation technique for measuring the out-of-plane elasticity of 2D materials.
  • To investigate the perpendicular elasticity of few-layer graphene and graphene oxide films.
  • To understand the influence of intercalation on the mechanical properties of 2D materials.

Main Methods:

  • Sub-ångström-resolution indentation measurements.
  • Integration of experimental data with semi-analytical models.
  • Density functional theory (DFT) calculations for theoretical validation.

Main Results:

  • Successfully measured the perpendicular-to-the-plane elasticity of 2D materials with high precision.
  • Determined the perpendicular Young's modulus of few-layer graphene and graphene oxide.
  • Observed a maximum perpendicular Young's modulus in graphene oxide films when one water layer intercalated the graphitic planes.

Conclusions:

  • The developed indentation methodology enables precise measurement of out-of-plane elasticity in 2D materials.
  • Intercalation significantly affects the interlayer coupling and perpendicular mechanical properties of 2D films.
  • This technique offers a non-destructive approach to map interlayer interactions and intercalation in layered materials.
