Ceria (CeO2) is a promising catalyst for the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to liquid fuels and commodity chemicals, in part because of its high oxygen storage capacity, yet the fundamentals of CO2 adsorption and initial activation on CeO2 surfaces remain largely unknown. We use density functional theory, corrected…

We investigate the effect of uniaxial stress on InGaAs quantum dots in a charge tunable device. Using Coulomb blockade and photoluminescence, we observe that significant tuning of single particle energies (~ -0.5 meV/MPa) leads to variable tuning of exciton energies (+18 to -0.9 micro-eV/MPa) under tensile stress. Mod…

The short-term toxicity of citrate-stabilized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and ionic silver Ag(I) to the ichthyotoxic marine raphidophyte Chattonella marina has been examined using the fluorometric indicator alamarBlue. Aggregation and dissolution of AgNPs occurred after addition to GSe medium while uptake of dissolve…

Ligand exchange reactions are widely used for imparting new functionality on or integrating nanoparticles into devices. Thiolate-for-thiolate ligand exchange in monolayer protected gold nanoclusters has been used for over a decade; however, a firm structural basis of this reaction has been lacking. Herein, we present…

We demonstrate that ZnO/metal junctions, produced by a commonly used electrochemical oxidation procedure, are prone to lateral (two-dimensional) heterogeneities. These heterogeneities are not apparent in bulk structural measurements (such as X-ray diffraction data), but are evident in the electrodeposit's electrical (…

New series of iron, ruthenium, and osmium octabutoxynaphthalocyanines were synthesized by inserting corresponding metals into the metal-free octabutoxynaphthalocyanine. Although preparation of axial ligand-free iron octabutoxynaphthalocyanines was reported before, we could not reproduce the synthesis by following the…

We investigate the possibility of using light scattering data in the single-phase regions of a ternary liquid mixture phase diagram to infer ternary mixture coexistence curves, and to infer tie lines joining the compositions of isotropic liquid phases in thermodynamic equilibrium. Previous analyses of a nonlinear ligh…

The lattice deformation of a -ZnO films on r -plane Al 2 O 3 substrates, grown by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy (PAMBE), is strongly dependent on growth temperature: i) the unit cell volume is smaller than that of a reference ZnO bulk and it increases with the increase in growth temperature; ii) a -plane latt…

Mixing Cu(II)Cl 2 with free base tetraphenylporphyrin (( H 2 (TPP)) in dry deaerated 1,2-dichloroethane surprisingly yields a mixture of Cu(II) (TPP) and Cu(III) (TPP). The later is long-lived in the absence of water and slowly decomposes within days to yield Cu(II) (TPP). Furthermore, in the presence of air, a slight…
