Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) describes the relativistic interaction between the spin and momentum degrees of freedom of electrons, and is central to the rich phenomena observed in condensed matter systems. In recent years, new phases of matter have emerged from the interplay between SOC and low dimensionality, such as ch…
Colloidal quantum dots are robust, efficient, and tunable emitters now used in lighting, displays, and lasers. Consequently, when the spaser, a laser-like source of surface plasmons, was first proposed, quantum dots were specified as the ideal plasmonic gain medium. Subsequent spaser designs, however, have required a…
The spin-split indirect bandgap in hybrid-halide perovskites provides a momentum-space realisation of a photon-ratchet intermediate band. Excited electrons thermalise to recombination-protected Rashba pockets offset in momentum space, building up the charge density to have sufficient flux to the higher lying conductio…
The energetics and the electronic structure of methylammonium lead bromine (CH3NH3PbBr3) perovskite (001) surfaces are studied based on density functional theory. By examining the surface grand potential, we predict that the CH3NH3Br-terminated (001) surface is energetically more favorable than the PbBr2-terminated (0…
Phonons are produced when an excited vacancy in cuprous oxide (Cu$_2$O) relaxes. Time resolved luminescence was used to find the excited copper vacancy (acceptor) and oxygen vacancy (donor) trap levels and lifetimes. It was also used to determine the typical energy and number of phonons in the phonon pulses emitted by…
Although many processes of nanostructure evolution in solids occur at elevated temperatures, basic data obtained from ground state energetics are used in the modeling of these phenomena. In order to illustrate the effect of phonon and electron excitations on the free binding energy of defect clusters, first-principles…
Design and operation of advanced reactors such as fuel reformers require reliable micro-kinetic models that capture the dynamics of the reaction. The negative temperature coefficient phenomenon causes a reduction in mixture temperature for increasing inlet temperatures. However, micro-kinetic models available in the l…
Sr-substituted perovskites, La1.8Sr0.2MMnO6 (M = Ni, Co), were synthesized using the solid-state reaction technique to present a systematic study on their morphological, structural and magnetic properties. The average grain size of the as-prepared La1.8Sr0.2NiMnO6 samples are in the range of 0.2–0.7 µm and those for L…
Nanoribbons of MoS$_2$ present a unique electronic structure that consists of a semiconducting bulk bounded by metallic edges; same holds for other Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) (Mo-,W-,S$_{2}$,Se$_{2}$). We perform first-principles calculations for TMD nanoribbons with reconstructed zig-zag metal terminated…
Polymer–nanoparticle (NP) interfacial interactions are expected to strongly influence the properties of nanocomposites, but surprisingly, experiments often report small or no changes in the glass transition temperature, T g . To understand this paradoxical situation, we simulate nanocomposites over a broad range of po…
Abstract Magnetic and electronic transport properties of perovskite manganite La 0.6 Er 0.1 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 have been thoroughly examined through the measurements of magnetization, electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR), and resistivity. It was found that the substitution of Er 3+ for La 3+ ions introduced the chemical dis…
Abstract Herein, a conceptually new and straightforward aqueous route is described for the synthesis of hydroxyl‐ and amino‐functionalized boron nitride quantum dots (BNQDs) with quantum yields (QY) as high as 18.3 % by using a facile bottom‐up approach, in which a mixture of boric acid and ammonia solution was hydrot…
Formic acid is a potential hydrogen storage molecule which dehydrogenates to form CO 2 and H 2 on metal surfaces. However, it can also decompose via a competing dehydration reaction that forms CO and H 2 O, reducing the amount of H 2 produced and poisoning the catalyst with CO. Formic acid re-formation to hydrogen is…
Marine optical instruments are bearing serious biofouling problem, which affects the accuracy of data collected. To solve the biofouling problem of marine optical instruments, a novel instance of slippery lubricant-infused porous surface (SLIPS) with high underwater-transparency was designed over glass substrate via i…
Different samples of graphite oxide (GrO) were prepared by modification of the Improved Hummers Method reported in the literature. Graphite was used as the raw material and KMnO 4 and H 2 SO 4 were used as chemical reagents. GrO samples were analyzed by Raman spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, elemental analysis, X-ray diffracti…
Radiation damage is a major limitation to synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering analysis of biomacromolecules. Flowing the sample during exposure helps to reduce the problem, but its effectiveness in the laminar-flow regime is limited by slow flow velocity at the walls of sample cells. To overcome this limitation,…
We present terahertz metasurfaces based on aligned rectangular graphene patches placed on top of a dielectric layer to convert the transmitted linearly polarized waves to circular or elliptical polarized radiation. Our results lead to the design of an ultrathin broadband terahertz quarter-wave plate. In addition, ultr…
The main properties of graphene derivatives facilitating optical and electrical biosensing platforms are discussed, along with how the integration of graphene derivatives, plastic, and paper can lead to innovative devices in order to simplify biosensing technology and manufacture easy-to-use, yet powerful electrical o…
This review covers the functionalization reactions of meso-arylcorroles, both at the inner core, as well as the peripheral positions of the macrocycle. Experimental details for the synthesis of all known metallocorrole types and for the N-alkylation reactions are presented. Key peripheral functionalization reactions s…
CeO2−x nanorods are functional mimics of natural haloperoxidases. They catalyze the oxidative bromination of phenol red to bromophenol blue and of natural signaling molecules involved in bacterial quorum sensing. Laboratory and field tests with paint formulations containing 2 wt% of CeO2−x nanorods show a reduction in…
