We report a novel approach to synthesize monodisperse hydrogel nanoparticles that are tunable in size. The distinctive feature of our approach is the use of a multicopper oxidase enzyme, laccase, as both a biocatalyst and template for nanoparticle growth. We utilize the ferroxidase activity of laccase to initiate loca…

A graphene transistor with a bottom-gate coplanar structure and an atomic layer deposition (ALD) aluminum oxide (Al2O3) gate dielectric is demonstrated. Wetting properties of ALD Al2O3 under different deposition conditions are investigated by measuring the surface contact angle. It is observed that the relatively hydr…

We studied the carrier dynamics in a series of SnOx thin films using femtosecond transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. The observed carrier relaxation was found to be strongly dependent on thin film stoichiometry. The TA spectra corresponding to free carriers, trapped carriers, and state filling were observed in the…

We show both computationally and analytically that grain boundaries that exhibit shear-coupled motion become morphologically unstable in solid alloys that phase separate into coherent domains of distinct chemical compositions. We carry out simulations of continuum models demonstrating that this instability is mediated…

Twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) is constituted of a two-graphene layer with a mismatch angle θ between the two hexagonal structures. It has recently attracted much attention—thanks to its diverse electronic and optical properties. Here, we study the tBLG fabricated by the direct transfer of graphene monolayer prepared…

We present a density functional study of Lennard-Jones liquids in contact with a nanocorrugated wall. The corresponding substrate potential is taken to exhibit a repulsive hard core and a Van der Waals attraction. The corrugation is modeled by a periodic array of square nanopits. We have used the modified Rosenfeld de…

In this study, the polymer was synthesized via template-free oxidative reaction of 3-amino-2-naphthol (AN). For this purpose, bifunctional monomer was polymerized by NaOCl as oxidant in aqueous basic medium to give the corresponding poly (3-amino-2-naphthol) (PAN) with molecular weight ca. 11,100 Da. The chemical and…

Thermoelectric energy conversion is a direct but low-efficiency process, which precludes the development of long-awaited wide-scale applications. As a breakthrough permitting a drastic performance increase is seemingly out of reach, we fully reconsider the problem of thermoelectric coupling enhancement. The cornerston…

We show theoretically that a two-dimensional periodic array of metallic nanocubes in close proximity to a metallic film acts as a metasurface with tunable absorbance. The presence of a metallic film underneath the array of plasmonic nanocubes leads to an impedance matched plasmonic metasurface enhancing up to 4 times…
