We report on nanometer-scale patterning of single layer graphene on SiO2/Si substrate through femtosecond laser ablation. The pulse fluence is adjusted around the single-pulse ablation threshold of graphene. It is shown that, even though both SiO2 and Si have more absorption in the linear regime compared to graphene,…
Self-assembling of reduced graphene oxide platelets, as a tailored interconnected network within a natural rubber matrix, is proposed as a mean for obtaining nanocomposites with improved gas barrier, as compared to neat natural rubber. Interestingly, this nanocomposite structure results to be much more effective than…
We study second harmonic generation in $h$-BN and MoS${}_{2}$ monolayers using an ab initio approach based on many-body theory. We show that electron-hole interaction doubles the signal intensity at the excitonic resonances with respect to the contribution from independent electronic transitions. This implies that ele…
The dielectric properties and microwave attenuation performance of N-doped SiC have been evaluated in 8.2–12.4 GHz in the temperature range of 293–673 K. The N doping dramatically improves the microwave absorption capability of SiC. The minimum reflection loss of N-doped SiC is enhanced to nearly −30 dB with the effec…
In this work, we demonstrate how LaF3 nanoparticles activated with large concentrations (up to 25%) of Nd3+ ions can simultaneously operate as biologically compatible efficient nanoheaters and fluorescent nanothermometers under single beam (808 nm) infrared laser excitation. Nd3+:LaF3 nanoparticles emerge as unique mu…
The distance dependence of localized surface plasmon (LSP) coupled Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is experimentally and theoretically investigated using a trilayer structure composed of separated monolayers of donor and acceptor quantum dots with an intermediate Au nanoparticle layer. The dependence of the e…
Ceria nanorods were investigated using in situ Raman and FTIR spectroscopies for CO adsorption and subsequent reaction with water at 200 and 350 °C. The involvement of defects in ceria nanorods during CO adsorption and reaction with H 2 O is dependent on the temperature. At 200 °C, most of the carbonate and formate sp…

Plasmon enhancement of optical properties is both fundamentally important and appealing for many biological and photonic applications. Although metal-enhanced two-photon excitation fluorescence has been demonstrated in the solid substrates, there is no report on metal enhanced overall two-photon excitation fluorescenc…
Graphene nanoribbon aerogels are fabricated by directly unzipping multi-walled carbon nanotube sponges. These fascinating materials have potential applications as high performance nanocomposites and supercapacitor electrodes.
High forward current density of 103 A/cm2 (at 6 V) and a breakdown field larger than 7.7 MV/cm for diamond diodes with a pseudo-vertical architecture, are demonstrated. The power figure of merit is above 244 MW/cm2 and the relative standard deviation of the reverse current density over 83 diodes is 10% with a mean val…
Nanostructures of the conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) with large surface areas enhance the performance of energy storage devices such as electrochemical supercapacitors. However, until now, high aspect ratio nanofibers of this polymer could only be deposited from the vapor-phase, utilizing extrinsi…
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been widely used in cosmetics and sunscreens, advanced textiles, self-charging and electronic devices; the potential for human exposure and the health impact at each stage of their manufacture and use are attracting great concerns. In addition to pulmonary damage, nanoparticle e…
A simple approach to estimating the detection limits of X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for any element in any elemental matrix is presented, using the intensity of the background at the expected position for the photoelectron peak to be detected. The approach has been extended to estimate the detection limit f…
The preparation of 3d-transition metal-doped EuO thin films by molecular beam epitaxy is investigated using the example of Sc doping. The Sc-doped EuO samples display a good crystalline structure, despite the relatively small ionic radius of the dopant. The Sc doping leads to an enhancement of the Curie temperature to…
We report the first experimental realization of a three-dimensional thermal cloak shielding an air bubble in a bulk metal without disturbing the external conductive thermal flux. The cloak is made of a thin layer of homogeneous and isotropic material with specially designed three-dimensional manufacturing. The cloak's…
Invisibility has attracted intensive research in various communities, e.g., optics, electromagnetics, acoustics, thermodynamics, dc, etc. However, many experimental demonstrations have only been achieved by virtue of simplified approaches due to the inhomogeneous and extreme parameters imposed by the transformation-op…
We report selective ionic transport through controlled, high-density, subnanometer diameter pores in macroscopic single-layer graphene membranes. Isolated, reactive defects were first introduced into the graphene lattice through ion bombardment and subsequently enlarged by oxidative etching into permeable pores with d…
With the rapid advancement of nanoscience and nanotechnology, detailed knowledge of interactions between engineered nanomaterials and cells, tissues and organisms has become increasingly important, especially in regard to possible hazards to human health. This review intends to give an overview of current research on…
Electrical energy storage (EES) is one of the most critical areas of technological research around the world. Storing and efficiently using electricity generated by intermittent sources and the transition of our transportation fleet to electric drive depend fundamentally on the development of EES systems with high ene…
