Individual PbSe nanocrystals (NCs) were prepared by a chemical reaction between lead-cyclohexanebutirate and tri-butyl-phosphine/selenium precursors in a tri-octyl-phosphine oxide/tri-butyl-phosphine surfactant, at 118 °C. Increasing precursor concentration, accompanied by an additional heating, up to 150 °C, enabled…
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) were grafted to both ends of Pluronic F127 (PEO−PPO−PEO) to produce novel amphiphilic PLA-F127−PLA block copolymers. The aggregation behaviors of three different modified polymers were examined by laser light scattering and transmission electron microscopic techniques. The structure of aggregat…
We observed novel nanoscale surface structures of segregated pinned micelles and craterlike micelles formed by grafted Y-shaped molecules and their reversible reorganization in selective solvents. The Y-shaped molecules have two incompatible polymer chains (polystyrene and poly(tert-butyl acrylate)) attached to a func…
Hyperbranched polymers have received significant attention due to their unique combination of low viscosity, excellent solubility, and facile synthesis. This paper describes an efficient approach to hyperbranched poly(aryl ester)s via the polycondensation of A 2 and B 3 monomers. A dilute bisphenol A (A 2 ) solution w…
The ground- and excited-state properties of a series of meso -tetraphenylporphyrin (H 2 TPP) diacids, [H 4 TPP](X) 2 (X = F, Cl, Br, I), ad hoc synthesized and characterized by 1 H NMR, RLS, and UV−vis spectroscopies, have been studied theoretically using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density func…
Geometric disassembly of dendritic structures was realized by a cascade cleavage reaction triggered by an initially stimulated group at the dendrimer core. Release of an exponential number of dendrimer fragments was a result of the branching nature of the cleavage pathway. Evidence for the completion of the disassembl…
Ordered arrays of Au, Ni, and Si nanorings have been fabricated using Ar + sputter redeposition of material in a porous alumina mask. Typical ring dimensions are 50 nm inner diameter and 10−15 nm wall thickness with heights ranging from 50 to 200 nm. Ring composition was confirmed by electron microscopy. Ring diameter…
A novel synthetic approach to a series of bulky triarylamines substituted by various electron-withdrawing groups and forming amorphous materials is presented. Under vacuum evaporation, thin films with high optical quality are obtained and exhibit spontaneous second-order nonlinear optical activity. This unprecedented…
In this work we explore the transmission properties of a single slit in a metallic screen. We analyze the dependence of these properties on both slit width and angle of incident radiation. We study in detail the crossover between the subwavelength regime and the geometrical-optics limit. In the subwavelength regime, r…
When propagating through periodically structured media, i. e. photonic crystals, optical waves will be modulated with the periodicity. As a result, the dispersion of waves will no longer behave as in a free space, and so called frequency band structures appear. Under certain conditions, waves may be prohibited from pr…
We present numerical measurements of the critical correlation length exponent nu in the three-dimensional fuse model. Using sufficiently broad threshold distributions to ensure that the system is the strong-disorder regime, we determine nu to be nu = 0.86 +/- 0.06 based on analyzing the fluctuations of the survival pr…
We incorporate realistic pair potential energies directly into a non-linear least-square fit of diffraction data to quantitatively compare structure models with experiment for the Ni-rich $d$(AlNiCo) quasicrystal. The initial structure models are derived from a few {\it a priori} assumptions (gross features of the Pat…
Elastic constants and zone-boundary phonon frequencies of gold are calculated by total energy electronic structure methods to twofold compression. A generalized force constant model is used to interpolate throughout the Brillouin zone and evaluate moments of the phonon distribution. The moments are used to calculate t…
We consider the flow of polarization current J(t)=dP/dt produced by a homogeneous electric field E(t) or by rapidly varying some other parameter in the Hamiltonian of a solid. For an initially insulating system and a collisionless time evolution, the dynamic polarization P(t) is given by a nonadiabatic version of the…

We have measured potentiometric titration curves of the weak polyelectrolytes, PAH 1 and PAA, interpolyelectrolyte complexes PAH−PAA, PDADMAC−PAA, and PAH−PAA, prepared by mixing of the polyelectrolyte solutions, and multilayered microcapsules made by layer-by-layer adsorption of the same pairs of oppositely charged p…
Single-crystalline perovskite nanostructures with reproducible shape have been prepared using a simple, readily scaleable solid-state reaction in the presence of NaCl and a nonionic surfactant. Pristine BaTiO3 nanowires have diameters ranging from 50 to 80 nm with an aspect ratio larger than 25. Single-crystalline SrT…
Time-resolved second-harmonic generation (TRSHG) and transient photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy are utilized to probe the ultrafast creation and subsequent relaxation of excited carriers immediately following band-gap excitation in single ZnO nanowire and nanoribbon lasers. The TRSHG signal consists of a 1−5 ps rec…
A simple hydrothermal method has been developed for the systematic synthesis of lanthanide orthophosphate crystals with different crystalline phases and morphologies. It has been shown that pure LnPO(4) compounds change structure with decreasing Ln ionic radius: i.e., the orthophosphates from Ho to Lu as well as Y exi…
The surfactant-mediated shape evolution of titanium dioxide anatase nanocrystals in nonaqueous media was studied. The shape evolves from bullet and diamond structures to rods and branched rods. The modulation of surface energies of the different crystallographic faces through the use of a surface selective surfactant…
