We performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the synergized O2 activation and CO oxidation by Ag8 cluster on TiO2(101) support. The excellent catalytic activity of the interfacial Ag atoms in O2 dissociation is ascribed to the positive polarized charges, upshift of Ag d-band center, and ass…
The atomic structure of the clean Cu(110) and the oxygen covered Cu(110) surfaces in the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) gas in the Torr pressure range at 298 K is studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and infrared reflection adsorption spectroscopy (IRRAS). We found that the initially clean surface recon…
X-ray scattering and electrical resistivity measurements were performed on ${\mathrm{GdNiC}}_{2}$ and ${\mathrm{TbNiC}}_{2}$. We found a set of satellite peaks characterized by ${\mathbit{q}}_{1}=(0.5,\ensuremath{\eta},0)$ below ${T}_{1}$, at which the resistivity shows a sharp inflection, suggesting the charge densit…
In their native extracellular microenvironment, cells respond to a complex array of biochemical and mechanical cues that can vary in both time and space. High-throughput methods that allow characterization of cell-laden matrices are valuable tools to screen through many combinations of variables, ultimately helping to…
Color-tunable solid-state emitting polystyrene (PS) microbeads were developed by dispersion polymerization, which showed excellent fluorescent security ink characteristics along with sensitive detection of vapors of nitro aromatics like 4-nitro toluene (4-NT). The fluorophores pyrene and perylenebisimide were incorpor…
Abstract Due to the presence of a sizeable direct band gap, three-atom-thick transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers have been suggested as important candidates for flexible electronic and optoelectronic devices recently. The in-plane elasticity of TMDC monolayers has been investigated extensively, however,…
Thiolato-bridged dinuclear, tetranuclear, and hexanuclear Cu(I) complexes [Cu 2 (P ∧ S) 2 (PPh 3 ) 2 ], [Cu 4 (P ∧ S) 4 (CH 3 CN) 2 ], and [Cu 6 (P ∧ S) 6 ] (abbreviated as Cu 2, Cu 4, and Cu 6, respectively, P ∧ S = 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzenethiolate, PPh 3 = triphenylphosphine) were synthesized and characterized b…
A superconducting transition temperature (Tc) as high as 100 K was recently discovered in one monolayer FeSe grown on SrTiO3. The discovery ignited efforts to identify the mechanism for the markedly enhanced Tc from its bulk value of 8 K. There are two main views about the origin of the Tc enhancement: interfacial eff…
Metallic nanoparticles are routinely used as nanoscale antenna capable of absorbing and converting photon energy with subwavelength resolution. Many applications, notably in nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology, benefit from the enhanced optical properties of these materials, which can be exploited to image, damage, or…
NiTi wires were brazed together via eutectic reaction between NiTi and Nb powder deposited at the wire contact region. Phase transformation and deformation behavior of the NiTi-Nb eutectic microstructure were investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and cyclic loading-unloading tests. Results show tha…
A hydrophilic wood surface was transformed to become superhydrophobic by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of polyelectrolyte/titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles multilayers and subsequent hydrophobic modification with 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluoroalkyltriethoxysilane (POTS). The chemical composition of the wood samples befo…
A free Cys-SH-containing protein, β-lactoglobulin (β-LG), and another protein not possessing the same, viz., apo-α-lactoglobulin (apo-α-LA), were used in studies to demonstrate the role of this amino acid, along with its secondary structure, in the formation of a protein dimer and a protein-inorganic hybrid nanoflower…
Nanosized GdAlO 3 phosphors activated with Dy 3+ were prepared by a combustion method. Synthesized phosphors were calcined at 1000 °C for 3 h in order to achieve crystallinity. Powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis was used to characteriz…
Transferrin receptor (TfR) represents a unique target for specific imaging of cancer cells and targeted delivery of therapeutic reagents. Detection and qualification of TfR is thus of great importance for cancer diagnosis and therapy. In this contribution, a light-up probe TPETH-2T7 was developed by conjugating a red-…
Developing a sustainable and environmently friendly scheme to fabricate fully degradable barrier films with robust mechanical properties is still a great challenge. Here, we first put forward a methodology that through taking advantage of an elongational flow field followed by woven hot compaction, in situ nanofibrill…
Natural fibers are one of the good alternative sources for replacing synthetic fiber and reinforcing polymer matrices because of their eco-friendly nature. This investigation deals with the extraction and characterization of new natural fiber from Indian mallow plant stem. The physico-chemical, thermal, and mechanical…
Chitin nanofibers of unique structure and properties can be obtained from crustacean and fishery waste. These chitin nanofibers have roughly 4 nm diameters, aspect ratios between 25-250, a high degree of acetylation and preserved crystallinity, and can be potentially applied in hydrogels. Hydrogels with a chitin nanof…
Abstract A high quantum yield (QY) of photoluminescence (PL) in nanomaterials is necessary for a wide range of applications. Unfortunately, the weak PL and moderate stability of atomically precise silver nanoclusters (NCs) suppress their utility. Herein, we accomplished a ≥26‐fold PL QY enhancement of the Ag29(BDT)12(…
In this study, we report a novel method of gold nanoparticle (AuNP) synthesis using aqueous fruit extract of Dillenia indica . The phytochemicals present in the fruit extract act as an effective reducing and capping agent to synthesize AuNPs. The synthesized AuNPs were characterized by spectrophotometry, transmission…
High-pressure Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction of Sb2S3 up to 53 GPa reveals two phase transitions at 5 GPa and 15 GPa. The first transition is evidenced by noticeable compressibility changes in distinct Raman-active modes, in the lattice parameter axial ratios, the unit cell volume, as well as in specific int…
