Gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) were reproducibly obtained by thermal, photolytic, or microwave-assisted decomposition/reduction under argon from Au(CO)Cl or KAuCl(4) in the presence of n-butylimidazol dispersed in the ionic liquids (ILs) BMIm(+)BF(4)(-), BMIm(+)OTf(-), or BtMA(+)NTf(2)(-) (BMIm(+) = n-butylmethylimidazol…
Gels for cells: A new method to produce biocompatible polyglycerol microgel nanoparticles with controllable size (25–100 nm, see picture, top) and a readily functionalizable surface is developed. Fluorescence imaging shows clear evidence for particle uptake by cells through endocytotic pathways and localization of the…
Nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery (NMDD) is an emerging research area that seeks to address many of the pharmacokinetic issues encountered with traditional systemically administered drug therapies. Although the field is still in its infancy, recent research has already highlighted the potential for improved drug del…

We report on the transport properties of novel carbon nanostructures made of partially unzipped carbon nanotubes, which can be regarded as a seamless junction of a tube and a nanoribbon. We find that graphene nanoribbons act at certain energy ranges as perfect valley filters for carbon nanotubes, with the maximum poss…
Broadband dielectric measurements on the pharmaceutical indomethacin (IMC) were performed at ambient and elevated pressure. Data on molecular dynamics collected at ambient pressure are in good agreement with that published in the literature. In the glassy state, there is a well-resolved secondary relaxation with Arrhe…
We have fabricated hybrid magnetic complexes from V atoms and tetracyanoethylene ligands via atomic manipulation with a cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope. Using tunneling spectroscopy we observe spin-polarized molecular orbitals as well as Kondo behavior. For complexes having two V atoms, the Kondo behavior can…
We present density functional theory (DFT) based non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) calculations for the conductance through a nitrobenzene molecule, which is anchored by pyridil-groups to Au electrodes. This work is building up on earlier theoretical studies where quantum interference effects (QIE) have been ide…
The microstructure of type I collagen, consisting of alternating gap and overlap regions with a characteristic D period of approximately 67 nm, enables multifunctionalities of collagen fibrils in different tissues. Implementing near-surface dynamic and static nanoindentation techniques with atomic force microscope, we…
A model for describing structural pointlike defects in nanoscaled ferromagnetic materials is presented. Its details are explicitly developed whenever interacting with a vortex-like state comprised in a thin nanodisk. Among others, our model yields results for the vortex equilibrium position under the influence of seve…
Lattice mismatch of Cu on Ag(111) produces fast diffusion for special "magic sizes" of islands. A size- and shape-dependent reptation mechanism is responsible for low diffusion barriers. Initiating the reptation mechanism requires a suitable island shape, a property not considered in previous studies of 1D island chai…
Electron transport properties of a biphenyl molecule are studied based on the Green's function formalism. The molecule is sandwiched between two metallic electrodes, where each benzene ring is threaded by a magnetic flux $ϕ$. The results are focused on the effects of the molecule to electrode coupling strength and the…
We study the magnetic excitations of a square lattice spin-ice recently produced in an artificial form, as an array of nanoscale magnets. Our analysis, based upon the dipolar interaction between the nanomagnetic islands, correctly reproduces the ground-state observed experimentally. In addition, we find magnetic monop…
The dynamic behaviour of ultra-high performance cementitious composite (UHPCC) with compressive strength of 200 MPa with different steel fiber volume fractions was studied under impact using the split Hopkinson pressure bar. Three aspects of the testing: a gimbal device, wave shaping and direct strain measurement, wer…
Abstract Here, a facile and effective route toward full control of vertical ZnO nanorod (NR)/nanowire (NW) arrays in centimeter‐scale areas and considerable improvement of field‐emission (FE) performance is reported. Controlled deformation of colloidal crystal monolayer templates is introduced by heating near glass‐tr…
An attractive approach to controlling spin effects in semiconductor nanostructures for applications in electronics is the use of light to generate, manipulate, or read out spins. Here, we demonstrate spontaneous photoinduced polarization of manganese(II) spins in doped colloidal cadmium selenide quantum dots. Photoexc…
This review aims to present recent advances in the synthesis and structure characterization as well as the properties of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites. The advent of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites has revolutionized research into polymer composite materials. Nanocomposites are organic-inorganic hybr…
Nano materials generate great benefits as well as new potential risks. Animal studies and in vitro experiments show that nanoparticles can result in lung damage and other toxicity, but no reports on the clinical toxicity in humans due to nanoparticles have yet been made. The present study aimed to examine the relation…
One-dimensional (1D) metal-oxide nanostructures are ideal systems for exploring a large number of novel phenomena at the nanoscale and investigating size and dimensionality dependence of nanostructure properties for potential applications. The construction and integration of photodetectors or optical switches based on…
Abstract In this study, we prepared novel amphiphilic phenyl–polysucrose microspheres by a two‐step pathway. Crosslinked polysucrose microspheres were synthesized with soluble polysucrose and epichlorohydrin by inversed suspension polymerization first. Then, phenyl–polysucrose microspheres were obtained through the re…
