The molecular dynamics of the discotic liquid crystal pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetracarboxylic tetra(2-ethylhexyl)ester is studied by dielectric relaxation and specific heat spectroscopy. Dielectric spectroscopy shows 3 processes: a β-relaxation at low temperatures and an α-relaxation in the temperature range of the mesophases…

Abstract—We successfully synthesized hollow AuAg alloyed trian-gular nanoboxes (TNBs) with localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) spectra position from visible to NIR region. We then study the surface plasmon properties of AuAg alloyed TNBs and explore their application in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)…

The crystal growth behavior of dendrite-like Cu2O crystals during galvanostatic electrodeposition was investigated. The deposited Cu2O particles are single-phase cuprites and their morphologies change from octahedral in a static electrolyte to dendrites in a stirred electrolyte. The morphology evolution is attributed…

The crystal structures of an inorganic butane analogue, NH(3)BH(2)NH(2)BH(3) (DDAB), were determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing both anti and gauche conformations. The anti conformation is stabilized by intermolecular dihydrogen bonds in the crystal whereas two gauche conformations of DDAB obser…

The buckling characteristics of nonideal single‐ and double‐walled carbon nanotubes were studied in this work via molecular dynamics simulation method. An imperfectly straight nonideal single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with a bent along the tube axis was used to form an array which is subjected to compression. The…

Novel near infrared-absorbing iron oxide-gold core-shell nanoparticles in pin shapes were synthesized. The nanopins are superparamagnetic, with 35-fold better surface enhanced Raman scattering activities than the conventional core-shell nanospheres and 50-fold greater photothermal properties than solid gold nanorods.…

We have theoretically investigated the electromagnetic radiation excited by a charged particle moving along a semi-infinite space filled with a double-negative metamaterial (DNM). Cherenkov radiation in the double-negative region exhibits reversed or backward radiation behavior. The spectral density of reversed Cheren…

Soft Modes were put forward by Cochran and Anderson about 50 years ago as an explanation of structural phase transitions. Extending Landau's theory of phase transitions, their prediction was that the square of the frequency of the soft mode was proportional to τ = |T/T c-1| where Tc is the transition temperature. Expe…

We present a microscopic theory that describes the ordering of two distinct ligands on the surface of a facetted nanoparticle. The theory predicts that when one type of ligand is significantly bulkier than all others, the larger ligands preferentially align themselves along the edges and vertices of the nanoparticle.…

We report the theory and synthesis of sub-nanosized gold clusters on reduced graphene oxide (r-GOs). The Au sub-nanoclusters were found to be nucleated and grown at defects of the r-GOs, particularly on nitrogen-induced defects from density functional theory investigation. The resulting Au/r-GOs exhibit an improvement…
