Carbon dots (Cdots) are an important probe for imaging and sensing applications because of their fluorescence property, good biocompatibility, and low toxicity. However, complex procedures and strong acid treatment are often required and Cdots suffer from low photoluminescence (PL) emission. Herein, a facile and gener…

Carbon nanotubes: The end section of a carbon nanotube, cut by acid treatment, contains hydrophilic oxygen groups, around which water molecules can assemble to block the entry of the tube. Hydrogen of pressures up to 10 000 bar can be locked inside the tube by such an “aqueous valve” (see picture).

We propose and analyze a novel mechanism for long-range spin-spin interactions in diamond nanostructures. The interactions between electronic spins, associated with nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, are mediated by their coupling via strain to the vibrational mode of a diamond mechanical nanoresonator. This couplin…

A series of novel, highly symmetrical phthalocyanines bearing eight peptide residues has been prepared by microwave-assisted Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (‘click’ reaction). Water-soluble conjugates were obtained after straightforward deprotection of the amine and amide functionalities. The phthalocyanin…

Recent experiments suggest that the interfacial thermal conductance of transfer printed metal-dielectric interfaces is ∼45 MW/m2K at 300 K, approaching that of interfaces formed using physical vapor deposition. We investigate this anomalous result using a combination of theoretical deformation mechanics and nanoscale…

Abstract Two porphyrin‐based dyes were synthesized that incorporate two additional chromophores to absorb in a wider UV/Vis region. In the first dye, a porphyrin ring is linked through an amide bond to two [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ units, forming a symmetric [Ru(bpy) 3 ]‐porphyrin‐[Ru(bpy) 3 ] {Por(COOH) 2 [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2 } syst…

It is shown that the nanocryatalline silicon ballistic electron emitter operates in a SiCl4 solution without using any counter electrodes and that thin amorphous Si films are efficiently deposited on the emitting surface with no contaminations and by-products. Despite the large electrochemical window of the SiCl4 solu…

We study the spatiotemporal low-frequency microrheology of a gelatin gel during the sol-gel transition after a fast temperature quench by tracking the motion of embedded colloidal particles. From the particle dynamics two different mechanisms responsible for the gelation of the sol phase can be identified: a fast proc…

Second harmonic (SH) generation from AlGaAs near-wavelength high-contrast gratings was studied in polarization-dependent reflection measurements. The grating design is critical in determining the strength and polarization of the second harmonic signal. The second harmonic response was enhanced by more than 3 orders of…
