Abstract
We present estimates of the turbulent energy-cascade rate derived from a Hall-magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) third-order law. We compute the contribution from the Hall term and the MHD term to the energy flux. Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) data accumulated in the magnetosheath and the solar wind are compared with previously established simulation results. Consistent with the simulations, we find that at large (MHD) scales, the MMS observations exhibit a clear inertial range dominated by the MHD flux. In the subion range, the cascade continues at a diminished level via the Hall term, and the change becomes more pronounced as the plasma beta increases. Additionally, the MHD contribution to interscale energy transfer remains important at smaller scales than previously thought. Possible reasons are offered for this unanticipated result.

Abstract
A careful choice of the surface coverage of iron phthalocyanine (FePc) on Ag (110) around the single monolayer allows us to drive with high precision both the long-range supramolecular arrangement and the local adsorption geometry of FePc molecules on the given surface. We show that this opens up the possibility of sharply switching the catalytic activity of FePc in the oxygen reduction reaction and contextual surface oxidation in a reproducible way. A comprehensive and detailed picture built on diverse experimental evidence from scanning tunnelling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, coupled with density functional theory calculations, sheds new light on the nature of the catalytically active molecule-surface coordination and on the boundary conditions for its occurrence. The results are of relevance for the improvement of the catalytic efficiency of metallo-macrocycles as viable substitutes for platinum in the cathodic compartment of low-temperature fuel cells.

Abstract
We demonstrate the possibility to achieve the doping of eumelanin thin films through K(+) incorporation during the electrodeposition of the film. K-doping changes the optical properties of the eumelanin thin films, reducing the energy gap from 1.0 to 0.6 eV, with possible implications for the photophysical properties. We have identified the doping-related occupied and unoccupied electronic states and their spectral weight using resonant photoemission spectroscopy (ResPES) and x-ray absorption at the C and N K-edges (near edge x-ray absorption fine spectroscopy, NEXAFS). All data are consistently interpreted by ab initio calculations of the electronic structure within the frame of the macrocycle model developed for the eumelanin protomolecule. Our analysis puts in evidence the intercalation of K with one specific oligomer (a tetramer composed of one indolequinone and 3 hydroquinone monomers) in correspondence of the nitrogen macrocycle. The predicted variation of the tetramer spacing is also in agreement with the recent x-ray diffraction experiments. The charge donation from K to N and C atoms gives rise to new electronic states at the top of the valence band and in NEXAFS resonances of the unoccupied orbitals. The saturation of the tetramer macrocycles leaves an excess of K that bind to N and C atoms in alternative configurations, as witnessed by the occurrence of additional spectral features in the carbon-related ResPES measurements.

Abstract
The transition from weak to strong turbulence when passing from large to small scales in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence with guide field is a cornerstone of anisotropic turbulence theory. We present the first check of this transition, using the Shell-RMHD, which combines a shell model of perpendicular nonlinear coupling and linear propagation along the guide field. This model allows us to reach Reynolds numbers around 10(6). We obtain surprisingly good agreement with the theoretical predictions, with a reduced perpendicular energy spectrum scaling as k(⊥)(-2) at large scales and as k(⊥)(-5/3) at small scales, where critical balance between nonlinear and propagation time is reached. However, even in the strong regime, a high level of excitation is found in the weak coupling region of Fourier space, which is due to the rich frequency spectrum of large eddies. A corollary is that the reduced parallel spectral slope is not a definite test of the spectral anisotropy, contrary to standard belief.

Abstract
Resonant photoemission from the valence band of a (√3 × √3)R30° reconstructed Mn:Ge(111) metallic interface has been carefully analyzed with the aim to track the transition from resonant Raman to normal Auger emission. The transition energy has been compared with the Mn 2p binding energy, as well as with the Mn L(3) absorption edge energy. Close similarities emerge with respect to the case of elemental Mn thin films, suggesting that the excitation dynamics is dominated by the electronic properties of Mn 3d states, in spite of the bonding with Ge atoms. The switching from the resonant Raman Auger (RRAS) to the normal Auger regime is found about 2 eV below the Mn L(3) absorption edge. A change of the lineshape due to the transition from an overall N - 1 electron final state (RRAS channel) to an N - 2 electron final state (normal Auger channel) is evidenced by the analysis of the experimental data, which also allowed the ratio to be tracked between charge delocalization and core-hole time scales as the photon energy is tuned across the Mn L(3) edge.

Abstract
The gap state that appears upon reduction of TiO2 plays a key role in many of titania's interesting properties but its origin and spatial localization have remained unclear. In the present work, the TiO2(110) surface is reduced in a chemically controlled way by sodium adsorption. By means of resonant photoelectron diffraction, excess electrons are shown to be distributed mainly on subsurface Ti sites strikingly similar to the defective TiO2(110) surface, while any significant contribution from interstitial Ti ions is discarded. In agreement with first principles calculations, these findings demonstrate that the distribution of the band gap charge is an intrinsic property of TiO2(110), independent of the way excess electrons are produced.

Abstract
Using photoemission spectroscopy, we determine the relationship between electronic energy level alignment at a metal-molecule interface and single-molecule junction transport data. We measure the position of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) relative to the Au metal Fermi level for three 1,4-benzenediamine derivatives on Au(111) and Au(110) with ultraviolet and resonant X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. We compare these results to scanning tunnelling microscope-based break-junction measurements of single molecule conductance and to first-principles calculations. We find that the energy difference between the HOMO and Fermi level for the three molecules adsorbed on Au(111) correlate well with changes in conductance and agree well with quasiparticle energies computed from first-principles calculations incorporating self-energy corrections. On the Au(110) that presents Au atoms with lower-coordination, critical in break-junction conductance measurements, we see that the HOMO level shifts further from the Fermi level. These results provide the first direct comparison of spectroscopic energy level alignment measurements with single molecule junction transport data.

Abstract
The charge distribution of the defect states at the reduced TiO(2)(110) surface is studied via a new method, the resonant photoelectron diffraction. The diffraction pattern from the defect state, excited at the Ti-2p-3d resonance, is analyzed in the forward scattering approach and on the basis of multiple scattering calculations. The defect charge is found to be shared by several surface and subsurface Ti sites with the dominant contribution on a specific subsurface site in agreement with density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
We have investigated the controversy surrounding the (sqrt[3] x sqrt[3]) R30 degrees structure of self-assembled monolayers of methylthiolate on Au(111) by first principles molecular dynamics simulations, energy and angle resolved photoelectron diffraction, and grazing incidence x-ray diffraction. Our simulations find a dynamic equilibrium between bridge site adsorption and a novel structure where 2 CH3S radicals are bound to an Au adatom that has been lifted from the gold substrate. As a result, the interface is characterized by a large atomic roughness with both adatoms and vacancies. This result is confirmed by extensive photoelectron and grazing incidence x-ray diffraction measurements.

Abstract
Core level and valence band photoemission measurements combined with near edge x-ray absorption fine structure measurements were performed on a single C(70) layer adsorbed on polycrystalline Al (1 ML-C(70)/Al) (ML-monolayer), pure and doped with sodium atoms. The data obtained from the pure ML chemisorbed on Al surface show a semiconducting behavior of the system, which is characterized by a covalent bond between the adsorbate and the substrate. The same data show also that the C(70) molecules tend to orient themselves with the C(5v) axis perpendicular to the surface in analogy to what observed for 1 ML-C(70)/Cu(111). By doping the sample with sodium atoms a charge transfer from the alkali atoms to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the C(70) molecules takes place, as underlined by the gradual increasing intensity of the C(70) LUMO peak as a function of doping. Nevertheless, no metallic phases are observed for any doping step.

Abstract
Szöke's concept for electron holography is hampered by forward scattering that dominates electron diffraction from electron point sources below the surface top layer. Forward scattering was proposed to be suppressed if the anisotropic nature of the electron source wave is exploited [T. Greber and J. Osterwalder, Chem. Phys. Lett. 256, 653 (1996)]. Experiments show a strong suppression of forward scattering in Al(111) if Al 2s photoelectrons (E(kin) = 952 eV) are measured near the nodal plane of the outgoing p wave. The holographic reconstruction from such diffraction data provides three dimensional images of atomic sites in unit cells with a size of more than 10 A.

Abstract
Tuftsin, a natural linear tetrapeptide (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg) of potential antitumor activity, has been studied in DMSO-d6 solution by 2D NMR spectroscopy. 1H and 13C spectra show the presence of two families of conformations characterized by a trans or cis Lys-Pro bond, respectively. The family of conformers containing the cis peptide bond is a mixture of extended structures as expected for a short linear peptide. On the contrary, the trans isomer appears to be a rigid, folded conformer, as indicated by crucial NOEs and by the exceptionally low temperature coefficient of Arg NH. Analysis of the solution data by means of energy calculations leads to a unique structure, characterized by a Lys-Pro inverse gamma-turn.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of poly(DL-proline) are reported in relation with its predicted property of forming ion channels across membranes. The analysis of the conductance induced in synthetic bilayer membranes doped with poly(DL-proline) shows ionic permeoselectivity and the characteristic time course of fluctuations of ion channels, according to the similarity with the active structure of gramicidin A in membranes during the ion passage. An alternative mechanism of ion transport across bilayer membranes is also advanced.
