The amplified plasmonic response from various distributions of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) coated on top of gold thin film was studied via ellipsometry under total internal reflection mode. The surface plasmon resonance dip can be tuned from the visible to near infrared by simply varying the AuNP concentration. Theoret…

An octadentate ligand based on triazacyclononane and 8-hydroxyquinolinate/phenolate binding units leads to very soluble, highly stable lanthanide complexes. The monoaquagadolinium complex shows a high relaxivity as a result of the unusually long rotational correlation time, fast water exchange rate, and slow electroni…

Abstract We demonstrate applicability of time‐resolved free‐carrier absorption and transient grating techniques for investigation of carrier recombination and diffusion features in a bulk diamond. Carrier injection into a 1 mm thick, IIa type high‐pressure high‐temperature grown layer was realized by two‐photon absorp…

Two new 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) based ligands with ancillary BODIPY chromophores attached at the 4 and 4'-positions were prepared and characterized, which vary in the substitution pattern about the BODIPY periphery by either excluding (BB1) or including (BB2) a β-alkyl substituent. Both absorb strongly throughout the vi…

We have investigated the electrical and magnetic response of the sol–gel synthesized Zn x Ni 1− x Fe 2 O 4 ( x = 0.0, 0.5 and 1) nanoparticles. The ratio of A-site sextet intensity to that of B-site sextet is featured in terms of divergence in coordination of Fe 3+ ions from four-fold (A-site) to six-fold (B-site). Ca…

Although nanolithographic techniques based on self-assembled block copolymer templates offer tremendous potential for fabrication of large-area nanostructure arrays, significant difficulties arise with both the lift-off and etch processes typically used for pattern transfer. These become progressively more important i…

Green-emitting ZnO nanoparticles were successfully embedded in Pr 3+ -doped SiO 2 by a sol–gel method resulting in a red-emitting ZnO·SiO 2:Pr 3+ nanocomposite phosphor. The particle morphology and luminescent properties of SiO 2:Pr 3+ phosphor powders, with or without ZnO nanoparticles, were, respectively, investigat…

Abstract We report a new route for preparing electro‐conductive composites based on reduced graphene oxide (RG‐O) and poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). The composites were prepared by in situ polymerization of EDOT in aqueous mixture containing RG‐O platelets modified with poly(sodium 4‐styrenesulfonate) (PSS)…

Encapsulation of docetaxel and its solubilization in water was carried out in PEGylated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as shown by 1H NMR (600 MHz) and UV/Vis spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering. Vectorization of PEGylated AuNP-encapsulated docetaxel was probed in vitro toward human colon carcinoma (HCT15) and human…

Using a combination of ultraviolet-vacuum ultraviolet reflectivity and spectroscopic ellipsometry, we observe a resonant exciton at an unusually high energy of 6.3 eV in epitaxial graphene. Surprisingly, the resonant exciton occurs at room temperature and for a very large number of graphene layers $N\ensuremath{\appro…

Upon the oxidation of perylenediimide dianion precursors, controlled release of neutral units paves the way for the solution-phase self-assembly of nanobelts via synergistic π–π stacking and hydrogen-bonding interactions. The obtained belt size has been regulated through adjusting the precursor supersaturation. This c…

The prey-capture threads found in most spider orb webs rely on viscous droplets for their stickiness. Each droplet is formed of a central mass of viscoelastic glycoprotein glue surrounded by an aqueous covering, both of which incorporate hydrophilic components. We found that the extensibility of droplets on Larinioide…

The control over self-assembly behavior becomes absolutely critical because it is dependent on the orientation and morphology. The motivation is focused on borrowing the help of O-H···O hydrogen bonding interactions to realize the control in chiral self-assembly. A series of perylene bisimide (PBI) dyes 3a-3d bearing…

Unusual short-range ferromagnetic (FM) correlations, which can be understood in terms of a Griffiths-like singularity, have been illustrated in the spin-chain compound Ca${}_{3}$CoMnO${}_{6}$ by systematic magnetization measurements. First, these FM correlations can be dramatically suppressed by a small stoichiometric…
