We study absorption spectra and two photon absorption coefficient of expanded porphyrins (EPs) by the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) technique. We employ the Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) Hamiltonian which includes long-range electron-electron interactions. We find that, in the 4n+2 EPs, there are two prominen…

Visible‐to‐UV/violet upconversion luminescence is found and studied in oxyfluoride glass ceramics with Er 3+ dopant concentrations of 3.5, 6.0, or 12.0 mol%, covering a broad pump‐power range. The glass ceramics with doping levels of 3.5 and 6.0 mol% show the strongest upconversion luminescence intensity when compared…

Three-dimensional fluorescence spectra were collected from both natural-color and treated diamonds with common color centers (including N3, H3, H4, 480 nm, and N-V) to characterize the fluorescence produced by each defect. Unlike individual spectra, 3D presentations of multiple spectra allow quick and simultaneous det…

Organic electrolytes are widely used for electric double-layer capacitors. However, the molecular mechanism involved is far from being understood. We demonstrate the structures and stabilities of tetraethylammonium and tetrafluoroborate ions in propylene carbonate solution in carbon nanopores using Monte Carlo simulat…

Modification of plastic properties of tungsten nano-structures under shear stress load due to embedded helium atoms is studied using molecular dynamics modelling. The modelling demonstrates that the yield strength of tungsten nano-structures reduces significantly with increasing embedded helium concentration. At high…

Abstract Extreme wetting properties of solids, either superhydrophobic or superhydrophilic, provide versatile methods to achieve unusual liquid deposit morphologies, such as liquid pearls or polygonal films. Here we report the dynamics of liquid drops that impact on solid surfaces where the extreme wetting properties…

In this work, SnO2 quantum dots with high crystallinity were synthesized on a large scale under mild reaction conditions via an epoxide precipitation route. The SnO intermediate, which was produced in the reactions between epoxide and [Sn(H2O)6](2+), was converted to SnO2 quantum dots by the oxidation of H2O2. It is b…

It is still a big challenge to treat large amount of water with low concentration of pollutant. In this study, a hierarchical (micro/nano) structured Mg(OH)2 adsorbent was introduced by the in situ hydration of porous MgO in the dye solution. The adsorbent showed high selective adsorption capacity (Q0 ≈ 155 mg/g for a…
