In this paper, a new starch‐g‐lactic acid/montmorillonite nanocomposite was developed for controlled and sustained drug release. First, starch‐g‐lactic acid was synthesized by reaction between starch and lactic acid with azeotropic distillation. In order to achieve a high degree of grafting starch, effects of the reac…

We herein propose a new type of efficient neutral photoacid generator. A photoinduced 6π-electrocyclization reaction of photochromic triangle terarylenes triggers subsequent release of a Brønsted acid, which took place from the photocyclized form. A H-atom and its conjugate base were introduced at both sides of a 6π-s…

We report lanthanide-based micelles integrating hypericin (Hyp) for X-ray-triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT). The lanthanide luminescence induced by X-ray irradiation excites the photosensitizer, which leads to the generation of singlet oxygen. This versatile approach can be extended to other photosensitizers or oth…

White light-emitting diode (WLED) products currently available on the market are based on the blue LED combined with yellow phosphor approach. However, these WLEDs are still insufficient for general illumination and flat panel display (FPD) applications because of their low color-rendering index (CRI < 75) and high co…

In this work we carried out systematic experimental and theoretical investigations of the ferromagnetic (FMR) response of quasi-two-dimensional magnetic nano-objects - microscopically long nanostripes made of ferromagentic metals. We were interested in the impact of the symmetries of this geometry on the FMR response.…

It has been proposed that antiferromagnetic Fe adatom spins on semiconductor Cu-N surfaces can be used to store information [S. Loth {\it et al}, Science \textbf{335}, 196 (2012)]. Here, we investigate spin dynamics of such antiferromagnetic systems through Monte Carlo simulations. We find out the temperature and size…
