A unique approach has been developed to deposit ZnO with tunable morphology and physical properties by introducing methanol in an electrochemical process. As the methanol increases in the aqueous electrolyte, the growth mode of ZnO transforms from thin films to nanostructures, corresponding to a crystalline orientatio…

The creation of caged molecules involves the attachment of protecting groups to biologically active compounds such as ligands, substrates and drugs that can be removed under specific conditions. Photoremovable caging groups are the most common due to their ability to be removed with high spatial and temporal resolutio…

A quantitative method for analysis of fast Mn 2+ -centered Auger processes in Mn 2+ -doped semiconductors is introduced. Analytical expressions have been derived that describe the Coulomb (″direct″) and exchange (″sp–d″) contributions to Mn 2+ -electron Auger de-excitation rate constants. All of the quantities in thes…

Thermoresponsive polymer gels exhibit pronounced swelling and deswelling upon changes in temperature, rendering them attractive for various applications. This transition has been studied extensively, but only little is known about how it is affected by nano- and micrometer-scale inhomogeneities in the polymer gel netw…

We report a computational study on the spontaneous self-assembly of spherical particles into two-dimensional crystals. The experimental observation of such structures stabilized by spherical objects appeared paradoxical so far. We implement patchy interactions with the patches point-symmetrically (icosahedral and cubi…

An unusual designated-tailoring on zone-axis preferential growth of surfactant-free ZnO mesocrystals with different features (shapes and sizes) was successfully achieved via an additive-free complex-precursor solution method. The formation of ZnO mesocrystals here is essentially determined by the characteristic of [Zn…

Abstract This paper describes the production of conducting polypyrrole (PPy) thin films by plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and its posterior use for sensing applications of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Since PECVD yields the non‐conducting form of PPy, a doping process consisting of exposure to iodine vap…

We address the problem of a Coulomb impurity in graphene in the presence of a perpendicular uniform magnetic field. We show that the problem can be solved below the supercritical impurity magnitude within the WKB approximation. Without impurity the semiclassical energies correctly reproduce the Landau level spectrum.…
