We demonstrate efficient coupling between plasmons in a single silver nanowire and nanocrystals doped with rare earth ions, α-NaYF4:Er(3+)/Yb(3+). Plasmonic interaction results in a sevenfold increase of the up-converted emission of nanocrystals located in the vicinity of the nanowires as well as much faster luminesce…

Composite "wet" alginate films were manufactured from alginate-carbohydrate solutions containing 5% alginate and 0.25% pectin, carrageenan (kappa or iota), potato starch (modified or unmodified), gellan gum, or cellulose (extracted or commercial). The "wet" alginate films were used as a model to understand co-extruded…

The interactions between nucleic acids and mineral surfaces have been the focus of many studies in environmental sciences, in biomedicine, as well as in origin of life studies for the prebiotic formation of biopolymers. However, few studies have focused on a wide range of environmental conditions and the likely modes…

Particle-polymer attractions in nanocomposites can cause significant heterogeneities in the polymer dynamics and remarkably impact the material properties. Dynamical perturbations are generally expected to be limited to interfacial polymer segments. However, composites with highly anisotropic nanoparticles usually exh…

We report on low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements on epitaxial graphene flakes on Au(111). We show that using quasiparticle interference (QPI) mapping, we can discriminate between the electronic systems of graphene and Au(111). Beyond the scattering vectors, which can be ascribed to the elastic…

Herein we report a series of porous organic polymers (POPs) synthesized through a Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction containing hexaphenylbenzene (HEX) and hexabenzocoronene (HBC) with varying peripheral substitution. We observed vastly different gas sorption properties depending on substituent size and the extent of…

We demonstrate the multilevel hierarchy of nanoscale wax crystals on nanowire (NW) structures that strongly repels not only water but also olive oil and hexadecane. We deposited C24F50-fluorinated wax (F-wax) using thermal evaporation on the surface of CuO NWs. Fluorinated wax crystals are self-assembled on the CuO NW…

A photoluminescence (PL) peak has been observed from a monolayer of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD), which is known to be an ideal 2D semiconductor. The PL peak appears near the low-energy side of neutral free excitons with very sharp peak width (∼10 meV) at low temperature (83 K). Systematic temperature-depende…

We report the discovery of superconductivity in BiOFxBiS2, an isostructural compound of the REOFxBiS2 (RE: La, Nd, Pr, Ce, and Yb) superconductors. The parent compound, Bi2OS2, is nonsuperconductive. Superconductivity is observed in a wide range of F-doping content (0.06 x 0.27). The optimal F-doping concentration is…

A chiral time-reversal symmetry breaking $d+id$-wave superconducting state is likely to emerge in graphene doped close to the Van Hove singularity. As heavy doping procedures are expected to introduce defects, we investigate here the effects of microscopic defects on the $d+id$-wave superconducting state at the Van Ho…
