The aggregation of achiral sulfonatophenyl- and phenyl-meso-substituted diprotonated porphyrins to chiral J-aggregates is a hierarchical noncovalent polymerization process preceded by a critical nucleation stage. This allows significant enantiomeric excesses by the formation of a few primary nuclei and the control of…

We synthesized, via anionic coupling reaction, poly(3-dodecylthiophene)- block -poly(methyl methacrylate) copolymers (P3DDT- b -PMMA) having narrow molecular weight distribution and several block compositions. P3DDT was chosen because of moderate rod/rod interaction compared with a weak interaction of poly(3-(2′-ethyl…

Here we ask the fundamental questions about the effect of peptide topology on self-assembly. The study revealed that the self-assembling behaviors of cyclic and linear peptides are significantly different in several respects, in addition to sharing several similarities. Their clear differences included the morphologic…

We demonstrate a 500-nm graphene frequency doubler with a record 3-GHz bandwidth, exceeding the device transit frequency by 50%, a previously unobserved result in graphene, indicating that graphene multiplier devices might be useful beyond their transit frequency. The maximum conversion gain of graphene ambipolar freq…

In this paper, a size-dependent formulation is presented for mechanical analyses of inhomogeneous micro-plates based on the modified couple stress theory. The plate properties can arbitrarily vary through the thickness. The governing differential equations of motion are derived for functionally graded (FG) plates with…

A planar bistable liquid crystal device, reported in Tsakonas et al. [Appl. Phys. Lett. 90, 111913 (2007)], is modeled within the Landau-de Gennes theory for nematic liquid crystals. This planar device consists of an array of square micrometer-sized wells. We obtain six different classes of equilibrium profiles and th…

We demonstrate a method for determining the full three-dimensional molecular-frame photoelectron angular distribution in polyatomic molecules using methane as a prototype. Simultaneous double Auger decay and subsequent dissociation allow measurement of the initial momentum vectors of the ionic fragments and the photoe…

Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we study thermal transport in graphene nanoribbons (GNR) subjected to uniform uniaxial and nonuniform strain fields. We predict significant thermal rectification (over $70%$) in a rectangular armchair GNR by applying a transverse force asymmetrically. The heat flux is larger…
