We designed and fabricated thin single-microcrystals of a photochromic diarylethene, 1,2-bis(2-methoxy-5-phenyl-3-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene, which exhibits photochromic reactions up to high conversion in high efficiency because the diarylethene molecule has extremely small photocycloreversion quantum yield. The th…

Chemical substitution-induced continuous ferroelectric polarization rotation in BiFeO3 is discovered. Rare-earth-substituted BiFeO3 is a unique system in which the ferroelectric polarization vector continuously rotates, and by controlling the composition via substitution, a particular direction of the polarization vec…

The geometrical configuration of Au:Ag nanoparticle heterodimers can be optimized to produce prominent Fano resonance (FR) signals, strong enough to be detectable by standard spectroscopic techniques. The highest intensity of the FR in these bimetallic dimers is reached when the size ratio of the nanoparticles ( R Au:…

Phenyliodine(III) bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA) in conjunction with a Lewis acid promotes C-C coupling of Bodipy monomers leading to mixtures of various oligomers. When a single position is blocked with an iodo or phenyl group, formation of the dimer is favored. These dimers display two successive oxidation and two red…
