Charge transfer between metal ions occupying distinct crystallographic sublattices in an ordered material is a strategy to confer visible light absorption on complex oxides to generate potentially catalytically active electron and hole charge carriers. CaCu3Ti4O12 has distinct octahedral Ti4+ and square planar Cu2+ si…
Substitution of La by Sr in the 25% Ni doped charge transfer insulator LaFeO3 leads to structural changes that inflect the electrical conductivity, which is caused by small polaron hopping via charge transfer and exchange interactions. The substitution forms electron holes and causes a structural transition from ortho…
We have studied the electron-phonon and superconducting properties of the Mg{1-x}AlxB2 and MgB{2(1-y)}C{2y} alloys within the framework of density functional theory using the self-consistent virtual-crystal approximation. For both alloys, the Eliashberg spectral functions and the electron-phonon coupling constants hav…
It is demonstrated that the near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) provides a powerful local probe of functional groups in novel charge transfer (CT) compounds. Microcrystals of tetra- and hexamethoxypyrene as donors with the strong acceptor tetracyanoquinodimethane (TMPx/HMPx - TCNQy) were grown from solu…
Josephson junctions were fabricated using two different methods of barrier formation. The trilayers employed were Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb on sapphire, where the first two layers were epitaxial. The oxide barrier was formed either by exposing the Al surface to O2 or by codepositing Al in an O2 background. The codeposition proces…
Successful applications of nanoparticles are often limited by insufficient nanoparticle stability due to low binding affinity of dispersants. However, excellent Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticle stability was reported in a recent study ( Nano Lett. 2009, 9, 4042−4048) that compared different catechol derivative-anchored low molec…
Bilayer graphene has attracted considerable interest due to the important role played by many-body effects, particularly at low energies. Here we report local compressibility measurements of a suspended graphene bilayer. We find that the energy gaps at filling factors ν= ± 4 do not vanish at low fields, but instead me…
Six new inorganic-organic salts, all containing iodobismuthate anions and d-metal coordination cations, were synthesized solvothermally from reactions of bismuth iodide, a transition metal (M) nitrate salt (M = Co, Fe or Zn), and a heterocyclic, chelating organic ligand: 1,10-phenanthroline (1,10-phen), 3,4,7,8-tetram…
Both photoswitchable fluorescent nanoparticles and photoactivatable fluorescent proteins have been used for super-resolution far-field imaging on the nanometer scale, but the photoactivating wavelength for such photochemical events generally falls in the near-UV (NUV) region (<420 nm), which is not preferred in cellul…
Mesoporous carbon nanospheres (MCS) with particle size of about 65 nm and primary mesopores of about 2.7 nm in diameter were prepared and used as supercapacitor electrodes. Ferrocene was employed as the carbon precursor and mesoporous silica nanospheres were used as the template. High-resolution transmission electron…
Abstract We demonstrate a new method for the direct conversion of heat to electricity using the recently discovered multiferroic alloy, Ni 45 Co 5 Mn 40 Sn 10 . This alloy undergoes a low hysteresis, reversible martensitic phase transformation from a nonmagnetic martensite phase to a strongly ferromagnetic austenite p…
The morphological evolution of uniform Cu(2)O nanocrystals with different morphologies in a weak acetic acid solution (pH = 3.5) has been studied for cubic, octahedral, rhombic dodecahedral, {100} truncated octahedral, and {110} truncated octahedral nanocrystals. Cu(2)O nanocrystals undergo oxidative dissolution in we…
The generation of novel multifunctional materials with hierarchical ordering is a major focus of current materials science and engineering. For such endeavors, fluid interfaces, such as air-liquid and liquid-liquid interfaces, offer ideal platforms where nanoparticles or colloidal particles can accumulate and self-ass…
Low-dimensional electronic systems in thermoelectrics have the potential to achieve high thermal-to-electric energy conversion efficiency. A key measure of performance is the efficiency when the device is operated under maximum power conditions. Here we study the efficiency at maximum power, in the absence of phonon-m…
A phenanthroline ligand decorated at the 5,6-position with a 15-crown-5 ether was used to prepare a metalorganic-polyoxometalate hybrid complex Re(I)(L)(CO)(3)CH(3)CN-MHPW(12)O(40) (L = 15-crown-5-phenanthroline, M = Na(+), H(3)O(+)). X-ray diffraction, (1)H and (13)C NMR, ESI-MS, IR, and elemental analysis were used…

Co-Fe layered double hydroxides at different Fe/Co ratios were synthesized from brucite-like Co(2+)(1-x)Fe(2+)(x)(OH)(2) (0 ≤ x ≤ 1/3) via oxidative intercalation reaction using an excess amount of iodine as the oxidizing agent. A new redoxable species: triiodide (I(3)(-)), promoted the formation of single-phase Co-Fe…
We present an overview of the challenges and practices of thermoelectric metrology on bulk materials at high temperature (300 to 1300 K). The Seebeck coefficient, when combined with thermal and electrical conductivity, is an essential property measurement for evaluating the potential performance of novel thermoelectri…
We demonstrate multicolor tuning of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) derived from o-carborane. Both electron-donating and electron-accepting arylacetylenes underwent efficient palladium coupling reaction with bis(4-bromophenyl)-o-carborane, resulting in moderate yields. The emission spectra of these compounds span a…
We report for the first time, the synthesis of highly stable exfoliated graphene based nanofluids with water and ethylene glycol as base fluids with out any surfactant and the subsequent studies on their thermal and electrical conductivities. Graphene was synthesized by thermal exfoliation of graphene oxide at 1050 °C…
