Most of the miniaturized electromagnetic vibrational energy harvesters (EVEHs) are based on oscillating proof mass suspended by several springs or a cantilever structure. Such structural feature limits the miniaturization of the device's footprint. This paper presents an EVEH device based on a torsional vibrating magnet over a stack of flexible planar coils. The torsional movement of the magnet is enabled by microfabricated silicon torsional springs, which effectively reduce the footprint of the device. With a size of 1 cm × 1 cm × 1.08 cm, the proposed EVEH is capable of generating an open-circuit peak-to-peak voltage of 169 mV and a power of 6.9 μW, under a sinusoidal excitation of ±0.5 g (g = 9.8 m/s) and frequency of 96 Hz. At elevated acceleration levels, the maximum peak-to-peak output voltage is 222 mV under the acceleration of 7 g (±3.5 g).

The analysis of Raman and Infrared (IR) phonons in monolayered tetragonal (Sr, Ba)HfO compounds, which exhibit D symmetry and belong to the I4/mmm phase of space group 139 with Z = 2, has been conducted using normal coordinates. The SrHfO and BaHfO compounds are the first members of the Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) series denoted as (Sr, Ba)HfO with n = 1. Nine Short-Range Force Constants (SRFC) have been included in theoretical calculations to analyze the optical phonons of SrHfO and BaHfO compounds within the I4/mmm phase.

Rotational spectroscopy is an excellent tool for structure determination, which can provide additional insights into local electronic structure by investigating the hyperfine pattern due to nuclear quadrupole coupling. Jet-cooled molecules are good experimental benchmark targets for electronic structure calculations, as they are free of environmental effects. We report the rotational spectra of 2-chlorobenzaldehyde, 3-chlorobenzaldehyde, and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde, including a complete experimental description of the nuclear quadrupole coupling constants, which were previously not experimentally determined.

Controlling reaction outcomes through external influences is a central goal in chemistry. Vibrational coupling between molecular vibrations and cavity modes is rapidly emerging as a distinct strategy compared with conventional thermochemical and photochemical methods; however, insight into the fundamental mechanisms remains limited. Here we investigate how vibrational weak and strong coupling in plasmonic nanocavities modifies the thermal dehydration of copper sulfate pentahydrate.

January 2025

Center for Computational Molecular Science and Technology, School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and School of Computational Science and Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0400, USA.

We present pyVPT2, a program to perform second-order vibrational perturbation theory (VPT2) computations to obtain anharmonic vibrational frequencies. This program is written in Python and can utilize any of the several quantum chemistry programs that have been interfaced to the QCEngine project of the Molecular Sciences Software Institute (MolSSI). The requisite single point energy, gradient, or Hessian computations can be automatically performed in a distributed-parallel fashion by optionally using the MolSSI's QCFractal software.

The cyano-cyclopentadiene molecule (CN-CH) has attracted significant interest since its detection in the interstellar medium, but the radical (CN-CH) and anionic (CN-CH) forms of cyano-cyclopentadiene have not been studied. The cyano-cyclopentadienyl radical (CN-Cp) has a strong dipole moment, rendering it an ideal system for vibrational and rotational spectroscopy. We report an investigation of the cryogenically cooled cyano-cyclopentadienide anion (CN-Cp) using high-resolution photoelectron imaging, photodetachment spectroscopy, and resonant photoelectron imaging.
