Femtosecond infrared spectroscopy is used to study the out‐of‐equilibrium dynamics of the ultrafast and persistent photoinduced phase transition of the Rb0.94Mn0.94Co0.06[Fe(CN)6]0.98 ⋅ 0.2H2O material, induced at room temperature. The data show that optical excitation creates small CT polarons within 250 fs.

Barocaloric effects at first-order phase transitions
Current refrigeration devices, based on vapour-compression cycles, employ refrigerants such as HFCs, which exhibit a global warming potential a thousand times higher than the one produced by CO2,. Furthermore, the increasing middle class, associated with their refrigeration needs, urges for research in new environmentally friendly refrigerant ...

This study showcases the airbrush method, a novel coating technique for the preparation of thin black paint coatings for infrared camera measurements. Using the method, coatings with an emissivity of 0.95, and as thin as 3 µm can be prepared. The method is affordable, non‐destructive, and can be prepared onto a wide range of substrates while ...

The impact of X‐ray damage in chemical crystals was minimised by the introduction of area detectors in the late 20th‐century. Now, ever‐brighter X‐ray sources are re‐establishing X‐ray damage as a key challenge. This article reviews recent observations of X‐ray‐induced processes in chemical samples and discusses state‐of‐the‐art methodologies for their

Switching Spin‐States: Spin Crossover vs. Coordination‐Induced Spin‐State Switching
The total spin of a metal center can be switched in different ways. In this concept, the phenomenon spin crossover is compared with coordination‐induced spin‐state switching. The impact of the switching progress on luminescent properties is briefly discussed. Abstract Switchable molecular materials have continued to attract the interest of chemists and
