Block-copolymers self-assemble into diverse morphologies, where nanoscale order can be finely tuned via block architecture and processing conditions. However, the ultimate usage of these materials in real-world applications may be hampered by the extremely long thermal annealing times-hours or days-required to achieve…

In this work, we developed a new pH- and temperature-responsive nanochemotherapeutic system based on Doxorubicin (DOX) noncovalently bound to biosynthesized gelatin-coated gold nanoparticles (DOX-AuNPs@gelatin). The real-time release profile of DOX was evaluated at different pH values (7.4, 5.3, and 4.6) and temperatu…

We have used transient absorption spectroscopy to measure carrier lifetimes in the multiband band semiconductor GaPAsN. These measurements probe the electron populations in the conduction band, intermediate band and valance band as a function of time after an excitation pulse. Following photoexcitation of GaP0.32As0.6…

The possibilities of turning intrinsically $n$-type oxide semiconductors like ZnO and ${\mathrm{Zn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Mg}}_{x}\mathrm{O}$ into $p$-type materials are investigated. Motivated by recent experiments on ${\mathrm{Zn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Mg}}_{x}\mathrm{O}$ doped with nitrogen, we analyze…

Organolead halide perovskites are a family of hybrid organic-inorganic compounds whose remarkable optoelectronic properties have been under intensive scrutiny in recent years. Here we use inelastic X-ray scattering to study low-energy lattice excitations in single crystals of methylammonium lead iodide and bromide per…

Fractional occupation numbers can be used in density functional theory to create a symmetric Kohn-Sham potential, resulting in orbitals with degenerate eigenvalues. We develop the corresponding perturbation theory and apply it to a system of $N_d$ degenerate electrons in a harmonic oscillator potential. The order-by-o…

We discuss how x-ray Compton scattering spectra can be used for investigating the evolution of electronic states in cathode materials of Li batteries under the lithiation/delithiation process. In particular, our analysis of the Compton spectra taken from polycrystalline LixCoO2 samples shows that the spectra are domin…

Weyl semimetals and nodal line semimetals are characterized by linear band touching at zero-dimensional points and one-dimensional lines, respectively. We predict that a circularly polarized light drives nodal line semimetals into Weyl semimetals. The Floquet Weyl points thus obtained are tunable by the incident light…

Using the tight-binding (TB) approximation with inclusion of the spin-orbit interaction, we predict a topological phase transition in the electronic band structure of phosphorene in the presence of axial strains. We derive a low-energy TB Hamiltonian that includes the spin-orbit interaction for bulk phosphorene. Apply…

Similarly to polyanilines, polypyrroles, and polythiophenes, polyindoles belonging to the fused-ring family have emerged in the past several decades as promising materials due to their unique physical and electrochemical properties. To date, polyindoles have been studied in over 200 scientific publications. These stud…
