Here we report organic light-emitting diodes incorporating linear and cyclic porphyrin hexamers which have red-shifted emission (λ(PL) = 873 and 920 nm, respectively) compared to single porphyrin rings as a consequence of their extended π-conjugation. We studied the photoluminescence and electroluminescence of blends…
The complex physiopathological events occurring after spinal cord injury (SCI) make this devastating trauma still incurable. Self-assembling peptides (SAPs) are nanomaterials displaying some appealing properties for application in regenerative medicine because they mimic the structure of the extra-cellular matrix (ECM…
Hexagonal hierarchical microtubular structures are produced by diphenylalanine self-assembly and the ratio of the relative humidity in the growth chamber to the diphenylalanine concentration (defined as the RH-FF ratio) determines the microtubular morphology. The hexagonal arrangement of the diphenylalanine molecules…
The temperature evolution of the crystal and magnetic structures of the ferroelectric sulfide AgCrS${}_{2}$ has been investigated by means of neutron scattering. AgCrS${}_{2}$ undergoes at ${T}_{N}=41.6$ K a first-order phase transition, from a paramagnetic rhombohedral $R$3$m$ structure to an antiferromagnetic monocl…
InMnO$_3$ is a peculiar member of the hexagonal manganites h-RMnO$_3$ (where R is a rare earth metal element), showing crystalline, electronic and magnetic properties at variance with the other compounds of the family. We have studied high quality samples synthesized at high pressure and temperature by powder neutron…
In this investigation, the size-scale in mechanical properties of individual [0001] ZnO nanowires and the correlation with atomic-scale arrangements were explored via in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) equipped with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanoindentation (NI) systems. The Young's…
We report on the inelastic neutron scattering measurements aimed at investigating the origin of temperature-induced paramagnetism in narrow-gap semiconductor FeSb${}_{2}$. We find that inelastic response for energies up to 60 meV and at temperatures $\ensuremath{\approx}$$4.2$, $\ensuremath{\approx}$$300$, and $\ensur…
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are now widely used in antibacterial and personal care products. However, the underlying physicochemical mechanisms leading to the toxicity of AgNPs are still under debate. The present study revealed the different effects of three surface coatings (including lactate, polyvinylpyrrolidone,…
PURPOSE: To retrospectively determine the incidence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in a large academic medical center after the adoption of restrictive gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) administration guidelines. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For this retrospective HIPAA-compliant study, institutional review boa…
We report on the temperature dependence of the anharmonic decay rate of zone-center ($G$ mode) optical phonons in both single-walled carbon nanotubes and graphite. The measurements are performed using a pump-probe Raman scattering scheme with femtosecond laser pulses. For nanotubes, measured over a temperature range o…
Graphene is the physical realization of many fundamental concepts and phenomena in solid state-physics, but in the long list of graphene remarkable properties, a fundamental block is missing: superconductivity. Making graphene superconducting is relevant as the easy manipulation of this material by nanolytographic tec…
Fluorescent imaging in the second near infrared window (NIR II, 1-1.4 μm) holds much promise due to minimal autofluorescence and tissue scattering. Here, using well functionalized biocompatible single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as NIR II fluorescent imaging agents, we performed high frame rate video imaging of mi…
We demonstrate remarkably enhanced yield of C60 fullerenes in an aerosol discharge chamber due to the additional presence of a strong spatial temperature gradient. The role of the temperature gradients in the increased yield of C60 and fullerene-like structures is discussed. The reaction is not fully reversible and ca…
We report on the structural properties of ScAlMgO4 studied under quasi-hydrostatic pressure using synchrotron high-pressure x-ray diffraction up to 40 GPa. We also report on single-crystal studies of ScAlMgO4 performed at 300 K and 100 K. We found that the low-pressure phase remains stable up to 24 GPa. At 28 GPa, we…
The electronic excitations of manganese phthalocyanine (MnPc) films were studied as a function of potassium doping using electron energy-loss spectroscopy in transmission. Our data reveal doping induced changes in the excitation spectrum, and they provide evidence for the existence of three doped phases: K(1)MnPc, K(2…
The resistive switching phenomenon in MgO-based tunnel junctions is attributed to the effect of charged defects inside the barrier. The presence of electron traps in the MgO barrier, that can be filled and emptied, locally modifies the conductance of the barrier and leads to the resistive switching effects. A double-w…
We use a combination of conventional density functional theory (DFT) and post-DFT methods, which include the local density approximation plus Hubbard $U$ ($\text{LDA}+U$), PBE0, and self-consistent $\mathit{GW}$, to study the electronic properties of Ni-substituted PbTiO${}_{3}$ (Ni-PTO) solid solutions. We find that…
Luminescent carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) are newcomers to the world of nanomaterials and have shown great impact in health and environmental applications as well as being promising building blocks for future nanodevices because of their fascinating photoluminescence and potential to serve as nontoxic replacements for t…
Eu(2+)-activated Sr(8)MgY(PO(4))(7) and Sr(8)MgLa(PO(4))(7) yellow-emitting phosphors were successfully synthesized by solid-state reactions for applications in excellent color rendering index white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The excitation and reflectance spectra of these phosphors show broad band excitation and a…
A fluorescent compound, 9,10-bis(2-(10-hexyl-10H-phenothiazin-3-yl)vinyl) anthracene, has been synthesized and studied. The results show that the compound possesses piezofluorochromic properties as well as aggregation-induced emission enhancement effect. The spectroscopic properties and morphological structures are re…
