A novel dual-emitting fluorescence probe is developed for rapid and ultrasensitive detection of Fe(3+). The nanoprobe is prepared by coating CdSe semiconductor quantum dots (SQDs) onto the surface of carbon nanodot (CND) doped TiO2 microspheres. The as-prepared nanoprobe exhibits the corresponding dual emissions at 43…

We report a novel and facile self-limiting synthesis route of silicon nanocrystal (Si NC)-based colloidally stable semiconductor-metal (gold, silver and platinum) hybrid nanoparticles (NPs). For the formation of hybrid NPs, we employ ligand-free colloidal Si NCs with heavily boron (B) and phosphorus (P) doped shells.…

Chiral nematic liquid crystals possess a self-assembled helical structure and exhibit unique selective reflection in visible and infrared light regions. Their optical properties can be electrically tuned. The tuning involves the unwinding and restoring of the helical structure. We carried out an experimental study on…

The shear flow of microfibrillated cellulose dispersions is still not wholly understood as a consequence of their multi-length-scale heterogeneity. We added carboxymethyl cellulose, a charged polymer, that makes cellulose microfibril dispersions more homogeneous at the submicron and macro scales. We then compared the…

Metal-tube contact is known to play an important role in carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNT-FETs) which are fabricated on individual CNTs. Less attention has been paid to the contact effect in network type carbon nanotube thin film transistors (CNT-TFTs). In this study, we demonstrate that contact plays an…

A new noncentrosymmetric borate, Na3Y3(BO3)4, was grown in the Na2O-B2O3-NaF flux system. Its open-framework structure features a large hexagonal tunnel (5.92 Å in diameter), which is extremely rare in borates. First-principles calculations on its kinetic stability and optical properties were performed.

Nonepitaxial multilayer silicene with a lonsdaleite structure was synthesized from a 4H-SiC substrate using an implantation-assisted process. An sp(3)-like bonding signal was fitted in a lonsdaleite Si XPS spectrum. The multilayer silicene was directly observed and the derived interplanar distances were found to be ne…
