Picture of the Week: Perovskite Crystals in Textile
…The crystallization is done as follows: a special solution of halide salts, polyethylene glycol, and other precursors is mixed in a specific way at a given temperature. Then, the solution is applied to polyester fiber (in this case, a white one). After that, the sample is heated so as to eliminate the solvent. As soon as the solvent evaporates, the crystals start to …

Molecular Building Blocks: Scientists Demonstrate Controlled Melamine Cyanurate Nucleation
…of the educational programs at ITMO’s Infochemistry Research Center. “We examined the nucleation process of the supramolecular complex of melamine cyanurate to pinpoint the specific features of such formations. Our research team decided to explore the structuring process from nucleation to crystal formation. It was revealed that variations of component concentration …

Scientists Predict Two-Photon Analog to Quantum Hall Effect
…external fields. This way, two-photon analogs of electronic Landau levels and edge states emerge in the chain of qubits. Regarding our system, these phenomena correspond to specific forms of the distributions characterizing the probability of one photon being detected in the qubit with number m, while the other photon is detected at the qubit with number n. What’s mo…

ITMO Master’s Student Tatiana Statsenko on Internship Abroad During COVID-19
…es. First, we obtain a precursor and check whether we really got what we need. Then, we use the precursor to create a different material, which will stimulate the growth of specific participles. It takes time and a number of reagents, which must be 100% pure. Otherwise, we won’t be able to produce participles of the desired shape and phase. Are you going to contin…
