Fluorescent probes that emit in the near-infrared (NIR, 700-1,300 nm) region are suitable as optical contrast agents for in vivo fluorescence imaging because of low scattering and absorption of the NIR light in tissues. Recently, NIR quantum dots (QDs) have become a new class of fluorescent materials that can be used…

Spatially resolved and polarized micro-Raman spectroscopy on microcrystalline graphene shows strong polarization dependences of double-resonance Raman intensities. The Raman intensity of the double-resonant 2D band is maximum when the excitation and detection polarizations are parallel and minimum when they are orthog…

We present key factors that influence the mechanical stability of polyelectrolyte/nanoparticle composite microcontainers and their encapsulation behavior by thermal shrinkage. Poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC), poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) microshells and citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles are used.…

Self-assembly of cylinder-forming diblock copolymers under spherical confinement is studied using real-space self-consistent field theory calculations (SCFT). Various microstructures are found at different confinement dimensions and surface fields. Most of these microstructures are center-symmetric and they could not…

The technological performances of metallic compounds are largely influenced by atomic ordering. Although there is a general consensus that successful theories of metallic systems should account for the quantum nature of the electronic glue, existing non-perturbative high-temperature treatments are based on effective c…

We report on the crystallographic structure of the layered compound Pb3Mn7O15. Previous analysis based on laboratory X-ray data at room temperature gave contradictory results in terms of the description of the unit cell. Motivated by recent magnetic bulk measurements of this system, we re-investigated the chemical str…

The measurement of micron-sized mechanical resonators by electrical techniques is difficult, because of the combination of a high frequency and a small mechanical displacement which together suppress the electromechanical coupling. The only electromagnetic technique proven up to the range of several hundred MHz requir…

The distribution of rates of multiexciton generation following photon absorption is calculated for semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs). The rates of biexciton generation are calculated using Fermi's golden rule with all relevant Coulomb matrix elements, taking into account proper selection rules within a screened semiemp…

We present excited states density functional theory (DFT) to calculate band gap for semiconductors and insulators. For the excited states exchange-correlation functional, we use a simple local density approximation (LDA) like functional and it gives the result which is very closed to experimental results. The linear m…

This paper is concerned with the use of the nonlocal Timoshenko beam model for free vibration analysis of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) including the thermal effect. Unlike the Euler beam model, the Timoshenko beam model allows for the effects of transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia. These effects b…

Doped one-dimensional (1D) conjugated polymers, such as polyacetylene, have a conductivity of some metals, like copper. We show that when this polymer is asymmetrically doped, unexpected properties are revealed, when compared to the behavior of the symmetrically standard doped systems (SDS). Depending on the level of…

A density-functional formalism for superconductivity {\em and} magnetism is presented. The resulting relations unify previously derived Kohn-Sham equations for superconductors and for non-collinear magnetism. The formalism, which discriminates Cooper pair singlets from triplets, is applied to two quantum liquids coupl…
