The two neutron star-black hole mergers (GW200105 and GW200115) observed in gravitational waves by advanced LIGO Virgo, mark the first ever discovery of such binaries nature. We study these systems through isolated binary evolution, using a grid population synthesis models. Using both mass spin observations (chirp mass, effective remnant spin) binaries, we probe their different possible formati...

Results of gel-phase proton high resolution magic angle spinning (HR MAS) NMR spectroscopy are described for a systematic study of the reversible, thermodynamically-controlled assembly of surface-attached neutral rotaxanes and pseudorotaxanes based on a three-component system consisting of a naphthodiimide thread unit, a naphthalene crown shuttle, and metalloporphyrin stoppers. Further to the p...

Copper nanoparticles with a mean carbon coating of about 1 nm were continuously produced at up to 10 g h(-1) using a modified flame spray synthesis unit under highly reducing conditions. Raman spectroscopy and solid state (13)C magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed that the thin carbon layer consisted of a sp(2)-hybridized carbon modification in the form of graph...
