We developed a novel double dopant bismuth oxide system with Tb and W. When Tb was doped as a single dopant, a Tb dopant concentration more than 20 mol% was required to stabilize bismuth oxides with a high conductivity cubic structure. High temperature XRD analysis of 25 mol% Tb-doped bismuth oxide (25TSB) confirmed t…

Sacrificial colloidal crystal templating of porous carbon films of tunable thickness is demonstrated using a facile thin-film assembly and hard-template-based nanoreplication process. Convectively assembled, colloidal crystal films composed of size-tunable silica nanoparticles (ca. 10-50 nm) serve as scalable sacrific…

Abstract Triphenylamine‐naphthobisthiadiazole‐based donor‐acceptor‐donor dyes were prepared and their aggregation and light‐emitting behaviors were investigated. Deep‐red light was emitted between 650–680 nm in a solution of tetrahydrofuran and dichloromethane with moderate fluorescent quantum yield of 0.36–0.48. Howe…

The functionalization of colloidal nanoparticles with short peptides often fails in achieving satisfactory targeting efficiency and selectivity toward receptor-specific human cells. Here, we show that an optimized passivation of gold nanoparticle surface with a mixed self-assembled monolayer, including a targeting lig…

The structural behavior of BiMnO3 under pressure was studied in a quantitative way by single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction up to 36 GPa. Two phase transitions were observed at moderate pressures (1 and 6 GPa, respectively), leading the system at first to the P21/c and then to the Pnma symmetry. The breaking of…

We study the electronic state of the organic conductor α-(BEDT-TSeF)2I3 (BETS) in which a zero-gap state (ZGS) of massless Dirac fermions is expected under pressure. A transition from an insulating state to a ZGS is investigated using an extended Hubbard model with seven kinds of transfer energy between the four molec…
