From a periodic array of commercially available zirconia cubes, we demonstrate artificial magnetic and electric dipoles due to the combination of displacement currents and Mie resonance. By scaling the size and periodicity of these dielectric resonators, the corresponding magnetic and electric responses are shifted to…

The adsorption of HAuCl 4, the typical precursor for gold grafting on metal oxide surfaces, is investigated on amorphous silica support. The adsorption of the precursor is investigated as a function of its chlorinated form, depending on the pH, using periodic DFT. The results are supported with experimental data based…

We show that the thermal annealing of thiol-capped PbS colloidal quantum dots provides a means of narrowing the nanoparticle size distribution, increasing the size of the quantum dots and facilitating their coalescence preferentially along the 100 crystallographic axes. We exploit these phenomena to tune the photolumi…

The thermodynamic nature of the mixtures consisting of Mg(NH 2 ) 2 and LiH determines the reaction sequence and pathways between the components. That is, the reaction resulting in the formation of Li 2 Mg(NH) 2 and H 2, which is useful for on-board hydrogen storage, first takes place in the mixtures in spite of variou…

A simple method for the controlled growth of single crystalline palladium nanorods is presented. Through tuning the molar ratio of two surfactants, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), single crystalline palladium nanorods with different aspect ratios can be synthesized in large qua…

Bipyridazines were modified with heterocyclic amines such as piperazine to give symmetric quadrupolar (SPBP) and asymmetric dipolar (APBP) bipyridazine. The fluorescence of SPBP and APBP was highly sensitive to solvent polarity, giving a synthetic rainbow of emission in different organic solvents. The solvent-induced…
