New plasmonic materials with tunable properties are in great need for nanophotonics and metamaterials applications. Here we present two-dimensional layered, metal chalcogenides as tunable metamaterials that feature both dielectric photonic and plasmonic modes across a wide spectral range from the infrared to ultraviol…
The construction of nanostructures from biodegradable precursors and shell/core crosslinking have been pursued as strategies to solve the problems of toxicity and limited stability, respectively. Polyphosphoester (PPE)-based micelles and crosslinked nanoparticles with non-ionic, anionic, cationic, and zwitterionic sur…
Experimental evidence is given of the breakdown of Raman selection rules in high vacuum tip‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (HV‐TERS), where molecular Raman‐active, IR‐active, and overtone modes are simultaneously observed in situ, due to the strong tip‐enhanced near‐field gradient effects. Theoretical calculations firmly…
The growth of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is of much interest owing to its outstanding properties and for scalable two dimensional (2D) electronics applications. Here, we report the controllable growth of h-BN on a copper substrate using the atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) method using ammoni…
A facile approach for preparing magnetically driven durable superhydrophobic polyester materials is developed by simply dip-coating in a nanocomposite solution. The nanocomposite is prepared by the polymerization of tetraethoxysilane and n-hexadecyltriethoxysilane in the presence of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The coated…
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are among the most commercially used nanomaterials and their toxicity and genotoxicity are controversial. Although many in vitro studies have been conducted to evaluate the genotoxicity of AgNPs, in vivo genotoxicity studies on the nanomaterials are limited. Given the unique physicochemica…
To study the reorientational motion of icosahedral [B 12 H 12 ] 2– anions in A 2 B 12 H 12 (A = Na, K, Rb, Cs) and the translational diffusion of Na + cations in Na 2 B 12 H 12, we have measured the 1 H, 11 B, and 23 Na NMR spectra and spin–lattice relaxation rates in these compounds over the temperature range of 170–…
Charge density of the VBM (green) and CBM (blue) for armchair MoS <sub>2</sub> –WS <sub>2</sub> heterostructures, indicating the spontaneous separation of photo-generated electrons and holes, which could strongly enhance the photocatalytic activity due to suppression of the electron–hole recombination.
We synthesize colloidal particles with various anisotropic shapes and track their orientationally resolved Brownian trajectories using confocal microscopy. An analysis of appropriate short-time correlation functions provides direct access to the hydrodynamic friction tensor of the particles revealing nontrivial coupli…
calculations and a two-stage RESP-fitting procedure in an ether-like implicit solvent environment. The charges were found to be generally consistent with others previously reported for phosphorylated amino acids, and trimethyllysine, using different parameterization methods. Pairs of modified and their corresponding u…
We present a biwaveguide paradigm composed of joined positive-index-material (PIM)/negative-index-material (NIM) slabs, demonstrating ultraslow-light propagation stemming from the competing propagation disposition in the PIM and NIM regions. We report for the first time a mesoscopic extended electromagnetic (EM) enhan…
Spin-density-functional calculations of tip-suspended gold chains, with molecular oxygen, or dissociated oxygen atoms, incorporated in them, reveal structural transitions for varying lengths. The nanowires exhibit enhanced strength for both oxygen incorporation modes, and upon stretching tip atoms join the wire. With…
We study analytically and numerically the magnetotransport of strained graphene in a Corbino geometry gating in the presence of an external perpendicular magnetic field. The conductance of the Corbino disc of deformed graphene with a uniaxial and an inhomogeneous strain is calculated by using the Landauer-B\"uttiker m…
We present an investigation of Mn $\ensuremath{\delta}$-doped layers in Si(001) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. We discovered that a Pb surfactant has significant effect on the structural and magnetic properties of the submonolayer of Mn, which depends on the Si capping layer growth temperature ${T}_{\mathrm{Si}}$, a…
Ruby red colloids of gold have been used for thousands of years and in the past have attracted much attention due to their optical properties. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) bands are responsible for gold colloid colors and typically appear for nanometer-sized gold nanoparticles (GNPs). These lie in the visible range…
A novel ferric-phosphate induced shape memory (SM) hydrogel is prepared by the one-step copolymerization of isopropenyl phosphonic acid (IPPA) and acrylamide (AM) in the presence of a crosslinker polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA). Different from the traditional SM hydrogels, our SM hydrogel can be processed into…
Two acentric metal borates Ba3M2- [B3O6(OH)]2[B4O7(OH)2] (M=Al, Ga) have been made under hydrothermal conditions; the MO4 groups and two types of oxoboron cluster units interconnect to form a 3D porous layer with 9-/14-membered-ring intersecting channels (see figure), showing a good second harmonic generation effect o…
We propose the 14-band $\mathbf k \cdot \mathbf p$ model to calculate spin-orbit splittings of the valence subbands in semiconductor quantum wells. The reduced symmetry of quantum well interfaces is incorporated by means of additional terms in the boundary conditions which mix the $Γ_{15}$ conduction and valence Bloch…
The relevant parameters at the microstructure scale that govern the macroscopic toughness of disordered brittle materials are investigated theoretically. We focus on planar crack propagation and describe the front evolution as the propagation of a long-range elastic line within a plane with random distribution of toug…
Recently completely new types of domain walls (DWs) have been discovered in helical magnets, consisting generically of a regular array of {\it pairs} of magnetic vortex lines \cite{Li+12}. Only for special orientations DWs are free of vortices. In this article we calculate their elastic and pinning properties, using t…
