A finite element model for charge transport in conjugated polymers is developed based on transport equations for ionic and electronic charge coupled with the Poisson equation. The model behavior is fully explored, and its complexity is gradually increased to realize a full model that treats non-Fickian diffusion throu…
The optical−mechanical−electrochemical coupling in polypyrrole doped with dodecylbenzenesulfonate, PPy(DBS), is studied during electrochemical switching. Cations enter this material during reduction, leading to an increase in volume. A special experimental geometry is used in which the top surface of the PPy film is c…
This paper describes preparation of binary FePt−CdS hybrid nanoparticles by spontaneous heteroepitaxial nucleation and growth of the CdS component onto FePt-seed nanoparticles in high-temperature organic solution. FePt nanoparticles with average sizes of 4 and 9 nm were used as seeds. Lattice mismatch makes complete c…
Lateral ion transport in conjugated polymer films is studied using a special experimental geometry in which the top surface of the film is covered by a transparent ion barrier. Because of the barrier, when the oxidation level of the polymer is switched electrochemically, charge-compensating ions can only enter and lea…
We present a comparison between theoretical predictions of the generalized Langevin equation for cooperative dynamics (CDGLE) and neutron spin echo data of dynamic structure factors for polyethylene melts. Experiments cover an extended range of length and time scales, providing a compelling test for the theoretical ap…
Iron mixed-valence complex, (n-C(3)H(7))(4)N[Fe(II)Fe(III)(dto)(3)](dto = C(2)O(2)S(2)), shows a spin entropy-driven phase transition called charge transfer phase transition in [Fe(II)Fe(III)(dto)(3)](-)(infinity) around 120 K and a ferromagnetic transition at 7 K. These phase transitions remarkably depend on the hexa…
The solvent content of thin polystyrene (PS) films, spin-coated from protonated and deuterated toluene onto silicon substrates, is investigated. Neutron reflectometry (NR) is used to probe the total remaining solvent inside the PS films in a nondestructive and noninvasive way. In freshly prepared films, the investigat…
Nanoisland films prepared by annealing thin gold films at high temperatures were imaged using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy, and optically characterized through absorption spectroscopy. Thin gold films of effective thicknesses 2, 5 and 7 nm annealed at 500, 700 and 900 degrees C were f…
The synthesis of stereoregular α,ω-chain end functional linear, telechelic, and star-shaped polymers and copolymers is reported using a one-pot chain end functionalization methodology. Aluminum methyl complexes are applied in combination with functional and multifunctional initiating species to synthesize stereoregula…
This paper provides a qualitative analysis of the physical content of the low-energy states of a spin-transition compound presenting a light-induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) phenomenon, namely, [Fe(dipyrazolpyridine)2](BF4)2, which has been studied using the wave function-based CASPT2 method. Both the natu…
A novel route to obtain highly ordered self-assembled honeycomb films has been investigated by a bottom-up process. A polymer with one chain end ionic functionality has been synthesized in a one-step reaction by nitroxide-mediated polymerization. This ionomer synthesis represents a very simple way, and honeycomb struc…
The “KIn2” Zintl phase activates tellurium under solvothermal conditions and yields the compound {[In(en)3][In5Te9(en)2]·0.5en}n (en = ethylenediamine). The material has both a polar and chiral layered framework and exhibits type I phase-matchable strong second harmonic generation (SHG) response.
The coupling of phonons with collective modes and single-particle gap excitations associated with one- (1d) and two-directional (2d) electronically driven charge-density wave (CDW) ordering in metallic RTe3 is investigated as a function of rare-earth ion chemical pressure (R=Tb,Dy,Ho) using femtosecond pump-probe spec…
The prevention of nonspecific protein adsorption to synthetic materials and devices presents a major design challenge in the biomedical community. While some chemical groups can resist nonspecific protein adsorption from simple solutions for limited contact times, there remains a need for new nonfouling functional gro…
Nanocrystalline Eu 3+ -doped CeO 2, CeO 2, Sm 3+ -doped CeO 2, and Li +, Eu 3+ -codoped CeO 2 samples were prepared through a sol−gel process. The structure and the optical properties of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflection spectra, and photoluminescence spectra. No luminescence was…
A diverse array of nanomaterials ranging from polymer assemblies to nanoparticles has been under development for biomedical applications in recent years. A key aspect of these applications is the ability to target the materials to the desired locations in vivo by exploiting their size or through the conjugation of act…
Superhydrophilic and antireflective coatings were fabricated from silica nanoparticles of 30 nm (S-30) and 150 nm (S-150) and polyelectrolytes of poly(diallyldimethylammonium) chloride (PDDA) and sodium poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) via layer-by-layer assembly and postcalcination. The time for a droplet to spread fla…
A 1,10-phenanthroline ligand decorated at the 5,6-position by a 15-crown-5 ether moiety was prepared. Ligation of Pd(II) at the nitrogen atom positions followed by complexation at the crown ether group of a redox active H(5)PV(2)Mo(10)O(40) polyoxometalate yielded a hybrid metallorganic-polyoxometalate complex, Pd(II)…
One-dimensional Ni/Ni3C core-shell nanoball chains with an average diameter by around 30 nm were synthesized by means of a mild chemical solution method using a soft template of trioctylphosphineoxide (TOPO). It was revealed that the uniform Ni nanochains were capped with Ni3C thin shells by about 1 to 4 nm in thickne…
We review the problem of adatoms in graphene under two complementary points of view, scattering theory and strong correlations. We show that in both cases impurity atoms on the graphene surface present effects that are absent in the physics of impurities in ordinary metals. We discuss how to observe these unusual effe…
