We used inelastic x-ray scattering to gain insight into the complex terahertz dynamics of a diluted Au-nanoparticle suspension in glycerol. We observe that, albeit sparse, Au nanoparticles leave clear signatures on the dynamic response of the system, the main one being an additional mode propagating at the nanoparticl…

Abstract Heterogeneous reduction/oxidation reactions in fluidization state play vital roles in chemical looping combustion (CLC) processes. A key task in studying heterogeneous reduction/oxidation reactions and developing CLC technology is to measure the heterogeneous redox kinetics of oxygen carrier particles in flui…

A set of anthracene containing polyfluorenes (PFs) having 9,10-diphenylanthracene with alkyl substituents and aniline containing fluorenes were prepared. Commonly, light-emitting polymers were synthesized using expensive palladium-like catalysts. In the present work, palladium was replaced by copper as a cost-effectiv…

ABSTRACT Using image analysis of scanning electron micrographs (SEMs), we compared differences in growth of D-stage veligers [i.e. prodissoconch I and II (PI and PII) larvae] of eastern oysters Crassostrea virginica grown in mesohaline water under high- and low-CO2 conditions. We found SEMs to reveal no evidence of di…

Abstract Nanosheets are two-dimensional polymeric materials, which are among the most active areas of investigation of chemistry and physics. Many diverse physicochemical properties of compounds are closely related to their underlying molecular topological descriptors. Thus, topological indices are fascinating beginni…

InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) structures currently used in optical devices are based on highly strained InGaN films. The presence of strain reduces quantum efficiency and indium incorporation, two critical parameters in addressing the green gap. We report on the growth of InGaN-relaxed templates on GaN as subs…

We demonstrate a nickel/insulating-GaN (i-GaN)/p-type GaN junction and investigate its electrical properties. The i-GaN is formed by exposure to a low-power hydrogen plasma to passivate the p-GaN layer. Cathodoluminescence spectroscopy of the i-GaN is used to understand the passivation effect of the hydrogen plasma on…

Sono-photoacoustic (SPA) activation lowers the threshold of phase-change contrast agents by timing a laser shot to coincide with the arrival of an acoustic wave at a region of interest. The combination of photothermal heating from optical absorption and negative pressure from the acoustic wave greatly reduces the drop…

The optical properties of chromophores embedded in a water-solvated dimer of octa-acid that forms a molecular-shaped capsule are investigated. In particular, we address the anisotropic dielectric environment that appears to blue-shift excitation energies compared to the free aqueous chromophores. Recently we reported…

We investigate the bulk topological proximity effect in multilayer hexagonal lattice systems by which one can introduce topological properties into a system composed of multiple trivial layers by tunnel coupling to a single nontrivial layer described by the Haldane model. In a multilayer system arrangement of differen…

Paradigmatic quantum spin liquid has been in the past closely linked to the high-temperature superconductivity. Here we focus on a layered 1T-${\mathrm{TaS}}_{2}$, which has recently emerged as a surprising candidate for a quantum spin liquid on a triangular lattice. Upon doping 1T-${\mathrm{TaS}}_{2}$ with Se, the $^…
