We report the synthesis of trigonal and tetragonal phase GeO2 films/microrods from a Ge wafer/powder by thermal oxidation. Both trigonal and tetragonal GeO2 exhibit excitation-dependent luminescence. Trigonal GeO2 exhibits strong green luminescence while tetragonal GeO2 exhibits strong blue luminescence when excited w…
Forced crumpling of graphene and graphene oxides sheets and their reversibilities are explored here by performing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, with focus on the stabilizing mechanisms and properties of crumples. We find that to balance strain energy stored in crumpled sheets, dangling bonds in graphene show si…
Immobilization of biomolecules onto implant surfaces is highly relevant in many areas of biomaterial research. Recently, a 2-step immobilization procedure was developed for the facile conjugation of biomolecules onto various surfaces using self-polymerization of dopamine into polydopamine. In the current study, a 1-st…
Using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we discuss the temperature dependence of the interfacial thermal resistance which is still inconsistent in literature. Interfaces with different wettabilities are employed which are characterized by the strength of solid/liquid interaction. For all the interfaces, t…
Recently, increasing studies have focused on the environmental stability, transport, and fate of the anthropogenic nanomaterials in the environment, which contributes to the understanding of the potential risks when released. However, applying nanomaterials from different manufacturers and production methods tends to…
Hummer's method is one of most frequently used methods to prepare graphite oxide (GO), an intermediate of graphene nanosheets. The treatment of wastewater containing a large amount of Mn ion and acid produced in this method is very important to protect the environment and use resources efficiently. In this report, fac…
Building a better SQUID: A prototype for a SQUID-like magnetometry device for the indirect detection of room-temperature switching in spin-crossover nanoparticles has been developed and used in the study of [Fe(hptrz)3](OTs)2 (hptrz=4-heptyl-1,2,4-triazole, OTs=p-toluenesulfonyl) nanoparticles, as a proof of concept f…
In cell therapy, noninvasive monitoring of in vivo cell fate is challenging. In this study we investigated possible differences in R₁, R₂ or R₂* relaxation rate as a measure of overall cell viability for mesenchymal stem cells labeled with Gd-liposomes (Gd-MSCs) or iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIO-MSCs). Cells were also…
A new peptide-based system supported on copolymer brushes grafted from gold sensors and with resistance to nonspecific adsorption is reported for selective binding of human immunoglobulin G (IgG). A random copolymer rich in primary amines, poly(2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride-co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (p…
PURPOSE: To investigate the in vivo T1 -enhancement of the lung parenchyma in free-breathing healthy mice following intratracheal administration of Gd-DOTA-based nanoparticles, to assess the enhancement kinetics of the instilled contrast medium and to identify its elimination pathways. METHODS: Ultrashort Echo Time (2…
We introduce graphene antidot lattice waveguides: nanostructured graphene where a region of pristine graphene is sandwiched between regions of graphene antidot lattices. The band gaps in the surrounding antidot lattices enable localized states to emerge in the central waveguide region. We model the waveguides via a po…
Plasmonic structures, or systems generally containing nanostructured metallic components allowing for the exploitation of surface plasmon resonances, continue to draw much experimental and theoretical interest. This is due to the ability of surface plasmons to capture, concentrate, and propagate optical energy. This F…
Periodic planewave and molecular cluster density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed on Iα and Iβ cellulose in four different conformations each. The results are consistent with the previous interpretation of experimental X-ray and neutron diffraction data that both Iα and Iβ cellulose are dominantly f…
For styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds filled with the same volume fraction of carbon black (CB), precipitated silica and carbon–silica dual phase filler (CSDPF), filler-rubber interactions were investigated thru bound rubber content (BRC) of the compounds and solid-state 1H low-field nuclear magnetic resonance…
We show by variable-temperature X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry experiments that zinc imidazolates with coi and zni framework topology, respectively represent the thermodynamically stable phase below and above a transition temperature of ≈360 °C at ambient pressure. The relative stability of th…
For applications in standard optical devices, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) exhibiting emissions near 1500 nm are potentially feasible because silicon semiconductors efficiently transmit the light in this region. However, techniques to extract such semiconducting SWCNTs have not been reported thus far. In this…
The optimization of the physico-chemical properties of both Gd(III) chelates and nanocarriers is of great importance for the development of effective nanosystems for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications. With this aim, macrocyclic Gd(III) chelates were selectively attached to the pendant amino groups exposed…
Two salen-type Dy complexes, namely [Dy2L3(CH3OH)] (1) and {[Dy(H2L)Cl2(MeOH)3]Cl·3MeOH}n (2) (H2L = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine), have been isolated by the reactions of H2L with Dy(OAc)3·6H2O and DyCl3·6H2O, respectively. X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that 1 is a dinuclear structure and 2…
For extremely confined fluids with a two-dimensional density n in slit geometry of an accessible width L, we prove that in the limit L → 0, the lateral and transversal degrees of freedom decouple, and the latter become ideal-gas-like. For a small wall separation, the transverse degrees of freedom can be integrated out…
A series of MCM-41-type mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) materials with different morphologies (spherical and tubular) and sizes but similar surface and pore properties were synthesized and characterized. The effect of particle morphology on human red blood cell (RBC) membrane integrity was evaluated using flow cy…
