A single-step doping method capable of high resolution n- and p-type doping of large area graphene is presented. Thin films of hydrogen silsesquoxane on exfoliated graphene are used to demonstrate both electron and hole doping through control of the polymer cross-linking process. This dual-doping is attributed to the…

The synthesis of mannose-substituted tetraphenylethenes (TPEs) and their aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior, induced by interactions with concanavalin A (Con A), are reported. A mixture of the mannose-TPE conjugates and Con A in a buffer solution displays an intense blue emission on agglutination within a few…

Rotor speed regulation in the hybrid walls of porous p-phenylenesilica can be achieved by guest uptake and removal. A graduation from slow to ultrafast motional regimes (k=104–108 s−1) can be experienced by the molecular rotors depending on guest nature and temperature, as detected by solid-state spin-echo 2H NMR spec…

A series of six low-molecular-weight elastomers with hydrogen bonding end groups have been designed, synthesized, and studied. The poly(urethane)-based elastomers all contained essentially the same hard block content (ca . 11%) and differ only in the nature of their end groups. Solution-state 1 H NMR spectroscopic ana…

We show that it is possible to reach one of the ultimate goals of organic electronics: producing organic field-effect transistors with trap densities as low as in the bulk of single crystals. We studied the spectral density of localized states in the band gap (trap DOS) of small molecule organic semiconductors as deri…

p-Type ZnO microwires were first synthesized by a simple chemical vapor deposition method using Na as the dopant source. p-Type doping was confirmed by the electrical transport in single-wire field-effect transistors and low-temperature photoluminescence. The carrier mobility of the microwires was estimated to be appr…

We study spacing selection in directional solidification of Al-Cu alloys under transient growth conditions. New experimental results are presented which reveal that dendritic spacing versus solidification rate evolves in an almost step-wise fashion, consistent with previous theoretical predictions of Langer and co-wor…

We study the electrical and transport properties of monoatomic Mo wires with different structural characteristics. We consider first periodic wires with inter-atomic distances ranging between the dimerized wire to that formed by equidistant atoms. We find that the dimerized case has a gap in the electronic structure w…

We implement a bottom-up multiscale approach for the modeling of defect localization in $C_{6n^2}H_{6n}$ islands, i.e. graphene quantum dots with a hexagonal symmetry, by means of density functional and semiempirical approaches. Using the \textit{ab initio} calculations as a reference, we recognize the theoretical fra…

Fluorescent quantum dots (QDs) have great potential for in vivo biomedical imaging and diagnostic applications. However, these nanoparticles are composed of heavy metals and are very small in diameter, and their possible toxicity must therefore be considered. As yet, no studies have reported the transfer of QDs betwee…
