Narrow zero-phonon emission lines are observed in single CdSe/CdZnS core/shell colloidal nanocrystals over a range of cryogenic temperatures up to 40 K. These nanocrystals display dramaticaly improved spectral stability enabling the observation of acoustic phonon sidebands accompanying most zero-phonon lines. A discre…
MOTIVATION: Knowledge of the oligomeric state of a protein is often essential for understanding its function and mechanism. Within a protein crystal, each protein monomer is in contact with many others, forming many small interfaces and a few larger ones that are biologically significant if the protein is a homodimer…
Highly regular patterns with amazingly well-defined uniform truncated octahedrons of PbS nanocrystals as building blocks were prepared via a simple one-pot solution method. Each truncated octahedron has a composition of six {100} squares and eight {111} hexagons, and the overall structure shares 24 identical edges in…
Singlet oxygen sensitization by organic molecules is a topic of major interest in the development of both efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT) and aerobic oxidations under complete green chemistry conditions. We report on the design, synthesis, biology, and complete spectroscopic characterization (vis-NIR linear and t…
A new approach for the estimation of kinetic parameters of crystallization from data obtained during the determination of metastable zone width is presented. The method is based on a simplified dynamic model of the system, which combines the population balance and mass balance, as well as information provided by conce…
Various electron-donating and -withdrawing groups in aromatic and aliphatic backbones of solvent have been introduced to tailor the electronic structures of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). In the case of solvent with a withdrawing group, electrons were extracted mainly from metallic SWCNTs, whereas small char…
We demonstrate a method to grow height controlled, dislocation-free InGaAs quantum posts (QPs) on GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) which is confirmed by structural investigations. The optical properties are compared to realistic 8-band k.p calculations of the electronic structure which fully account for strain and…
We propose a model for magnetic noise based on spin-flips (not electron-trapping) of paramagnetic dangling-bonds at the amorphous-semiconductor/oxide interface. A wide distribution of spin-flip times is derived from the single-phonon cross-relaxation mechanism for a dangling-bond interacting with the tunneling two-lev…
Mn−Co−O nanocrystals, with a defective rock salt-type structure, were prepared by anodic electrodeposition. The structural and chemical stability of the as-deposited oxide nanocrystals were investigated using wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron mi…
A template-directed synthesis strategy is an ideal tool to fabricate oxide nanotubes in that their physical dimensions can be precisely controlled and monodisperse samples can be harvested in large quantity. The wall thickness of the oxide nanotubes is controllable by varying the deposition conditions, and the length…
This paper reports a simple procedure for derivatizing the surface of anatase TiO2 nanofibers with Pt nanoparticles and then Pt nanowires. The nanofibers were prepared in the form of a nonwoven mat by electrospinning with a solution containing both poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) and titanium tetraisopropoxide, followed by ca…
Enzymes, a class of highly efficient and specific catalysts in Nature, dictate a myriad of reactions that constitute various cascades in biological systems. Self-assembly, a process prevalent in Nature, also plays important roles in biology, from maintaining the integrity of cells to performing cellular functions and…
Mannose 6-phosphate isomerase (MPI; EC 5.3.1.8) catalyzes the reversible isomerization of D-mannose 6-phosphate (M6P) and D-fructose 6-phosphate (F6P). In the eukaryotes and prokaryotes investigated to date, the enzyme has been reported to play a crucial role in D-mannose metabolism and supply of the activated mannose…
Abstract A basic problem in making cellulose‐reinforced composites is achieving a dispersion of cellulosic fibers in an often olephinic polymer matrix. Drying cellulosic fibers results in the formation of fiber flocs/nodules because of their strong interfiber bonding, and this makes the hydrophilic cellulosic fibers d…
Abstract FTIR study of the hydrogen bonding interactions within blends of different ratios of poly(styrene‐ co ‐acrylic acid) containing 18, 27, and 32 mol% of acrylic acid (SAA) and poly(styrene‐ co ‐ N , N ‐dimethylacrylamide) containing 17 mol% of N , N ‐dimethylacrylamide (SAD‐17) was carried out qualitatively and…
The phase constitution, microstructure, and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in low-cost iron-based binary Y2Fe17 ribbons have been investigated by using x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and measuring their magnetic properties, respectively. It is found that the crystal structure of the as-spun ribbons…
Adsorption and decomposition of methanol on Au nanoclusters supported on an ordered ultrathin film of Al 2 O 3 /NiAl(100) have been investigated by means of their photoelectron spectra excited with synchrotron radiation and scanning tunneling microscopy. The results show adsorption sites on the clusters of at least tw…
Abstract We studied the stress‐relaxation behavior of natural rubber (NR)/polystyrene (PS) blends in tension. The effects of strain level, composition, compatibilizer loading, and aging on the stress‐relaxation behavior were investigated in detail. The dispersed/matrix phase morphology always showed a two‐stage mechan…
Abstract In this paper, porous silicon (PS) layers of different porosity and thickness have been investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The estimation of built‐in strain in PS is reported. Moreover, wetting phenomena in PS layers have been also investigated. The results prove a reversible blue shift of Raman spectra of w…
A series of donor-bridge-acceptor (D-B-A) systems with varying donor-acceptor distances has been studied with respect to the temperature dependence of the triplet excitation energy transfer (TEET) rates. The donor and acceptor, zinc(II) and free-base porphyrin, respectively, were separated by oligo-p-phenyleneethynyle…
