Using reflectance and excitation spectroscopy, host-to-Eu 3+ energy transfer efficiencies in YBO 3:Gd,Eu under vacuum ultraviolet excitation have been calculated, at various concentrations of both dopants. As the Gd 3+ concentration is increased, an increase in the transfer efficiency to Eu 3+ is observed, consistent…

Here we demonstrate, for the first time, the heterogeneous nucleation and growth of silver patches on submicrometer silica spheres. While patches can be grown directly onto native silica particles, it is shown that a higher patch yield can be obtained by first treating the silica with a mixture of an alkanolamine and…

Polymers films are attractive, in part, because their physical properties can be tuned by blending polymer with complementary characteristics. However, blending is typically challenging because most polymers will undergo phase separation, resulting in unpredictable behavior. Here, we introduce band excitation nanother…
