Chiral binaphthyl-linked subphthalocyanines (SubPcs) (1) have been prepared by the cyclotrimerization reaction of a phthalonitrile linked with (R)- and (S)-2,2'-binaphthyl in the presence of BCl3, and characterized by various spectroscopies including NMR, electronic absorption, CD, and MCD, as well as electrochemistry.
The electronic properties of graphene can be significantly influenced by mechanical strain. One practical approach to induce strain in graphene is to transfer atomically thin membranes onto pre-patterned substrates with specific corrugations. The possibility of using nanoparticles to impart extrinsic rippling to graph…
The thermoelectric behavior of n-type Sb-doped half-Heusler (HH)-full-Heusler (FH) nanocomposites with general composition Ti(0.1)Zr(0.9)Ni(1+x)Sn(0.975)Sb(0.025) (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.1) was investigated in the temperature range from 300 to 775 K. Samples used for structural characterization and transport measurement…
A highly sensitive and selective detection of thrombin is accomplished using an emission color-tunable conjugated polyelectrolyte. The implementation of a combined logic gate is realized upon emission modulation of the system including the polymer, fibrinogen, thrombin, and heparin.
THz frequency-domain transmittance measurements were carried out on chemical-vapor-deposited (CVD) graphene films transferred to high-resistivity silicon substrates, and packaged as back-gated graphene field effect transistors (G-FETs). The graphene AC conductivity σ(ω), both real and imaginary parts, is determined be…
By introducing an inhomogeneously doped nanostructure thermoelectric generator (TEG) with a delta-like electronic density of states (DOS), a novel model of the solar TEG (STEG) with high conversion efficiencies is established. The STEG is composed of a flat-panel collector without optical concentration, but with therm…
This study demonstrated the applicability of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) for the observation of amyloid fibrils without staining. As model specimens, two types of amyloid fibrils with different shapes and chemical compositions were controllably synthesized from hen lysozyme. The apparent fibril widths in the SE…
Adding a suitable amount of ethanol into a water–surfactant dispersion can enhance the graphene concentration up to 3 times. The combination of water and ethanol can decrease the exfoliation energy while the surfactant acts as a stabilizer preventing graphene sheets from agglomeration.
With emerging systems and applications accessing features within the nanoregime, whether due to droplet size or feature size, understanding the wetting behaviours of these materials is an area of ongoing interest. Theoretical studies, providing a fundamental understanding of how contact angle behaviour changes at thes…
New dynamic materials, that can repair themselves after strong damage, have been designed by hybridization of polymers with structurally well-defined nanobuilding units.
Photolysis of CpRe(CO)3 in the presence of H3BNEt3 yields the trans-CpRe(CO)2(H)2 complex. This preliminary finding presents a rare example of transition metal mediated dehydrogenation of a tertiary amine-borane and suggests that the abstracted hydrogens may be stored in the form of metal hydride complexes.
In this paper, we report the synthesis and optical behavior of tetraphenyl benzene and its two derivatives. All the three compounds exhibited aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE) properties at a low concentration. The AEE mechanism was investigated and is due to restricted intramolecular rotation and unique packing str…
Development of green nanotechnology is generating interest of researchers toward ecofriendly biosynthesis of nanoparticles. Biomolecules present in plant extracts can be used to reduce metal ions to nanoparticles in a single-step green synthesis process. This biogenic reduction of metal ion to base metal is quite rapi…
Spin caloritronics with a combination of spintronics and thermoelectrics has potential applications in future information science and opens a new direction in the development of multi-functional materials. Based on density functional theory and the nonequilibrium Green's function method, we calculate thermal spin-depe…
Intensely luminescent 1,8-naphthyridine-BF2 complexes 1-9 containing terminal bidentate N^N^O and/or N^C^O groups are synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, (1)H and (19)F NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Complexes 1-4 are synthesized from 2-…
Annealing or plasma pre-treating the ZnO seed layer influences the nucleation and hydrothermal growth of ZnO nanorods and their photoluminescence.
We demonstrate a practical route to synthesize Ge nanoparticles (NPs) in multi-gram quantities via the laser pyrolysis of GeH4 gas. The size of the as-produced Ge NPs can be precisely controlled in the range of 19.0 to 65.9 nm via a subsequent etching procedure using a dilute H2O2 solution. Stable water dispersions of…
Bulk SiO2–PbF2 glass doped homogeneously with luminescent Ag nanoclusters has been synthesized using a melt-quenching technique. A broad range of luminescence from 400 nm to 900 nm can be excited with a broad range of UV and some visible excitation wavelengths. The luminescence spectra have been found to be invariant…
Wafer-scale free-standing quantum dot (QD)/polymer nanohybrid (NHB) based down-conversion (DC) phosphor films for remote-type white-light-emitting diodes (W-LEDs) are developed.
To demonstrate the structural integrity of a reactor pressure vessel, a detailed stress analysis is required to be carried out accounting for the transients during various operating conditions of the reactor. For thick-wall reactor pressure vessels, the temperature gradient across the vessel thickness is time-dependen…
