We report on the heterobimetallic system, Eu[Ag(x)Au(1-x)(CN)(2)](3) (x = 0-1) in which sensitization of europium luminescence occurs by energy transfer from [Ag(x)Au(1-x)(CN)(2)](-) donor excited states. The donor states have energies which are tunable and dependent on the Ag/Au stoichiometric ratio. These layered sy…

Recently, a new family of piezoelectric perovskite materials based on the solid solution (1- x )BiMeO 3 – x PbTiO 3 (where Me is one or a combination of cations with sum valance +3) have been developed. Specifically, the (1- x )BiScO 3 – x PbTiO 3 (BS–PT) system is noted for its high Curie temperature ( T C =450°C) an…

The liquid-phase oxidation of benzene was carried out in aqueous acetic acid solvent over V-substituted heteropolyacids (V−HPAs) using molecular O 2 and ascorbic acid as the oxidant and reducing reagent, respectively. Phenol was exclusively obtained as the oxygenation product. The elimination of the V species from the…

We investigate the possibility to use coated metallic nanoparticles for single-molecule surface-enhanced spectroscopy by extending the Mie theory. The aggregates of metallodielectric spheres of Au and Ag show a strong local intensity enhancement in the cavity between particles, which can result in up to a 1014-fold in…

Molecular dynamics simulations have recently shown that the presence of grown-in twin boundaries in nc-Al promotes slip activity in the form of twin boundary migration. In this letter we investigate the effect of grown-in twin boundaries on the plastic deformation mechanism in nc-Ni and Cu, and show that (1) for these…

Compressive and tensile stress in colloidal CdSe quantum dots (QDs) is examined using resonance Raman spectroscopy. We find that the dispersion of the longitudinal optical phonon mode with size does not follow theoretical calculations based on phonon confinement models. To account for these deviations, the presence of…

The type of barrier at a metal/CNT junction is one of the key issues in nanotube electronics. Despite the extensive experimental work done to clarify this issue, there is no consensus in the nano-electronics community. We present here the first ab initio calculation on the Schottky barrier and tunneling barrier height…
