Monodispersed bandgap tunable lead sulfide nanocrystals ranging from 0.6 to 1.7 eV have been synthesized by adjusting the reaction temperature and growth time. An evolution from cuboctahedra to perfect cube takes place at higher reaction temperature with longer annealing time. The nanocrystals absorb light both in the…

We report a quantitative wavelength-resolved analysis (460–600 nm) of the two-photon absorption (2PA) cross-section of water-soluble MPA-capped ZnS quantum dots (QDs). For that, we employed the open-aperture Z -scan technique using an amplified femtosecond laser system operating at low repetition rate (1 kHz). MPA-cap…

A series of phase separated La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 manganite samples with different grain sizes were studied by ac susceptibility, direct magnetocaloric effect (ΔT), and heat capacity measurements. The ac susceptibility shows that fractions of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases and consequently the phase separated sta…

VO2 films were deposited on Pt (111)/TiO2/SiO2/Si (001) substrates by means of a pulsed laser deposition technique. An x-ray diffraction peak at 2θ = 39.9° was deconvoluted into two pseudo-Voigt profiles of Pt (111) and VOx-originated components. The VOx diffraction peak was more obvious in a VOx/Pt (111)/Al2O3 (0001)…

The metal-free click polymerizations (MFCPs) of activated alkynes and azides have become a powerful technique for the preparation of functional polytriazoles. Recently, a new MFCP of activated azide and alkyne has been established, but no functional polytriazole is prepared. In this paper, polytriazole PIa with aggreg…

Using the framework of geometry-based fundamental-measure theory, we develop a classical density functional for hard polyhedra and their mixtures and apply it to inhomogeneous fluids of Platonic solids near a hard wall. As revealed by Monte Carlo simulations, the faceted shape of the polyhedra leads to complex layerin…
