The structural and electronic properties of small uranium oxide clusters UnOm (n=1-3, m=1-3n) are systematically studied within the screened hybrid density functional theory. It is found that the formation of U-O-U bondings and isolated U-O bonds are energetically more stable than U-U bondings. As a result, no uranium…

We investigate photoluminescence from individual “giant” CdSe/CdS core/thick-shell quantum dots (gQDs) placed near an epitaxial Ag film with an atomically smooth surface. The key observation is that the lifetimes of the gQDs are drastically reduced and exhibit a remarkably narrow distribution compared to the gQDs depo…
