We have synthesized water-dispersible cysteinate(2-)-capped CdSe nanocrystals and attached them to TiO2 using one-step linker-assisted assembly. Room-temperature syntheses yielded CdSe magic-sized clusters (MSCs) exhibiting a narrow and intense first excitonic absorption band centered at 422 nm. Syntheses at 80 °C yie…
This article primarily summarises our work, presented at the 24th International Liquid Crystals Conference in Mainz, on the dispersion of various functionalised nanoparticles such as gold nanoparticles, cadmium selenide quantum dots, single-wall carbon nanotubes and gold nanorods in the supramolecular order of columna…
The effective thermal conductivity models for particulate composites are usually restricted to the dilute limit, with volumetric concentrations of particles typically less than 15%. By considering the particle interactions through a crowding factor, in this work, a new formula is developed to describe the thermal cond…
The synthesis of diblock and miktoarm star polymers containing poly(vinylferrocene) (PVFc) and poly( l -lactide) (PLA) blocks is introduced. End functionalization of PVFc was carried out via end capping of living carbanionic PVFc chains with benzyl glycidyl ether (BGE). By hydrogenolysis of the benzyl protecting group…
Charge transfer introduced by a conductive junction bridging a nanoparticle dimer can have a pronounced effect on the optical properties of the system. We have extended the plasmon hybridization model to include conductive junctions and charge transfer effects. From our model, we are able to derive all the plasmon res…
Peptide oligomerization is necessary but not sufficient for amyloid fibril formation. Here, we use a combination of experiments and simulations to understand how pH influences the aggregation properties of a small hydrophobic peptide, YVIFL, which is a mutant form of [Leu-5]-Enkephalin. Transmission electron microscop…
The photoinduced structural dynamics in 2H-TaSe2 in the charge-density wave (CDW) state is investigated using MeV ultrafast electron diffraction. By simultaneously tracking both the melting of the periodic lattice distortion (PLD) associated with the CDW and the lattice heating, following an impulsive photoexcitation,…
In this study, the tryptophan derivative of ferrocene-1,1′-dicarboxylic acid self-assembles in toluene to form a supramolecular nanofibrillar network structure. The ferrocene bioconjugate based nanofibers are responsive toward oxidation/reduction and show thermo and redox reversibility. Interestingly, redox-induced re…

We report on the development of a new measurement method, resonant critical-dimension small-angle x-ray scattering (res-CDSAXS), for the characterization of the buried structure of block copolymers (BCP) used in directed self assembly (DSA). We use resonant scattering at the carbon edge to enhance the contrast between…
The influence of biaxial strain on both the electronic and magnetic properties in double perovskite La2FeMnO6 is investigated by using density-functional calculations. The results show that La2FeMnO6 exhibits ferromagnetic semiconductor at ambient condition and turns into ferromagnetic half-metal under the whole tensi…
The ascomycin-producer strain Streptomyces ascomycinicus has been proven to be an extracellular poly(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) degrader. The fkbU gene, encoding a PHB depolymerase (PhaZ Sa ), has been cloned in E. coli and Rhodococcus sp. T104 strains for gene expression. Gram-positive host Rhodococcus sp. T104 was a…
Topological defects in two-dimensional materials such as graphene are considered as a tool for tailoring their physical properties. Here, we studied defect structures on a single-layer silica (silicatene) supported on Ru(0001) using a low energy electron diffraction, scanning tunneling microscopy, infrared reflection-…
Glow discharge polymerization is not well understood due to the rapid/complex reaction at the plasma/gas precursor interface. Plasma reaction in a submerged condition allows post-plasma-polymerization, leading to further polymer growth and thus a stable structure. Electron collision with acetonitrile at the interface…
The convergence of supramolecular chemistry and polymer science offers many powerful approaches for building functional nanostructures with well-defined dynamic behaviour. Herein we report the efficient "click" synthesis and self-assembly of AB2 - and AB4 -type multitopic porphyrin-polymer conjugates (PPCs). PPCs were…
In contrast to their photochromism, the electrochemistry of spiropyrans in self-assembled monolayers has attracted only modest attention in recent years. In this contribution the electrochemical oxidation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 6-nitro-BIPS spiropyran (SP) prepared on polycrystalline gold surfaces is d…
We study the influence of the band structure on the symmetry and superconducting transition temperature in the (solvable) weak-coupling limit of the repulsive Hubbard model. Among other results we find that (1) as a function of increasing nematicity, starting from the square-lattice (zero nematicity) limit where a nod…
The metal- and solvent-free single-step approach for the synthesis of carbon microspheres using various municipal plastic wastes at 700 °C under autogenic pressure is reported. The obtained carbon spheres have been characterized with different microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The microscopic analysis showed f…
Electromagnetic properties of pyrolytic carbon (PyC) films with thickness from 5 to 241 nm are studied experimentally and numerically at 28 GHz. We observe experimentally that PyC films are capable to absorb up to 50% of microwave power in the Ka-band. By using boundary conditions in the rectangular waveguide, we demo…
We report on the fabrication and characterization of etched graphene quantum dots (QDs) on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and SiO2 with different island diameters. We perform a statistical analysis of Coulomb peak spacings over a wide energy range. For graphene QDs on hBN, the standard deviation of the normalized peak…
