The develpoment of a highly selective immobilization strategy for the self-assembly of quantum dots (QDs) from solution on lithographically defined, biochemically functionalized metal nanopatterns is presented. Nanosale control is achieved for the formation of predominantly single-particle structures consisting of a Q…
Graphene has recently attracted wide-spread attention because of its unique transport and physical properties that are appealing for a wide range of electronic applications. Integration with scalable high-κ dielectrics is important for the realization of graphene-based top-gated electronic devices, including next gene…
In vitro and in vivo bioimaging, Yb/Tm doped fluoride nanocrystals (NCs) as nanoprobes have attracted much attention due to their near infrared (NIR) upconversion (UC) emission at 800 nm under NIR 980 nm excitation. Our paper presents a simple and general method which can further improve the intensity of NIR 800 nm em…
Green synthesis of protein stabilized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the supernatant of a marine isolate, Pseudomonas fluorescens PMMD3 ( P.fluorescens ), and its biomedical applications and biocompatibility when coated on polycaprolactam is reported here. The AgNPs are spherical and are 1–10 nm in size. AgNP-coat…
A free-space broadband carpet-cloak, designed based on transformations optics and quasi-conformal mapping, was realized with all-dielectric gradient index rod-connected diamond-structured photonic crystals (PCs) in metamaterial regime. Complex three-dimensional sample with smooth continuous changing unit cells was fab…
Quantum dot (QD)-encoded microspheres play an important role in suspension arrays by acting as supports for various reactions between biomolecules. With regard to QD-encoded microspheres utilized in suspension arrays, three key requirements are controllable size, abundant surface functional groups, and especially exce…
A family of monodisperse YF(3), YF(3):Ce(3+) and YF(3):Ce(3+)/Ln(3+) (Ln=Tb, Eu) mesocrystals with a morphology of a hollow spindle can be synthesized by a solvothermal process using yttrium nitrate and NH(4) F as precursors. The effects of reaction time, fluorine source, solvents, and reaction temperature on the synt…
In the vadose zone, air-water interfaces play an important role in particle fate and transport, as particles can attach to the air-water interfaces by action of capillary forces. This attachment can either retard or enhance the movement of particles, depending on whether the air-water interfaces are stationary or mobi…
We present an efficient methodology to prepare maleimide-tethered, water-soluble gold nanoparticles (maleimide-AuNPs). The maleimide-AuNPs were prepared in the protected form and are readily recovered via a retro-Diels-Alder reaction. The maleimide-AuNPs were fully characterized by (1)H NMR, TGA, TEM, and XPS and were…
We introduce a class of one-dimensional deterministic models of energy–volume conserving interfaces. Numerical simulations show that these dynamics are genuinely super-diffusive. We then modify the dynamics by adding a conservative stochastic noise so that it becomes ergodic. A system of conservation laws are derived…
This study addresses a long-standing controversy about the electron-transport mechanism in porous metal oxide semiconductor films that are commonly used in dye-sensitized solar cells and related systems. We investigated, by temperature-dependent time-of-flight measurements, the influence of proton intercalation on the…
Surface ligand molecules enabling gold nanoparticles to disperse in both polar and nonpolar solvents through changes in conformation are presented. Gold nanoparticles coated with alkyl-head-capped PEG derivatives were initially well dispersed in water through exposure of the PEG residue (bent form). When chloroform wa…
We show how coupling to an Einstein phonon ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{E}$ affects the absorption peaks seen in the optical conductivity of graphene under a magnetic field $B$. The energies and widths of the various lines are shifted, and additional peaks arise in the spectrum. Some of these peaks are Holstein sidebands,…
Nitrogen-vacancy-induced magnetism in AlN is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. First-principles calculations reveal that magnetic coupling between the vacancy-induced moments varies with the vacancy concentration. A sizable ferromagnetic coupling for nitrogen vacancies is found. Experimentally, the m…
This study presents a direct visualization of the influences of ferroelectric polarization on the electronic properties of the Schottky contact at the Nb-SrTiO3/BiFeO3 hetero-interface using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/S). The evolution of the local density of states across the Nb-SrTiO3/BiFeO3…
The structural, ferroelectric and magnetic properties of bulk perovskite Fe -doped BaTiO 3 (BFTO) prepared by standard solid-state reaction have been investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) identifies the tetragonal structure of BFTO samples. Rietveld refinements of XRD data indicates that the doping ions led to ab-plan…
Understanding the contact properties of graphene on semiconductors is crucial to improving the performance of graphene optoelectronic devices. Here, we show that when graphene is in contact with a semiconductor, the charge carrier transport into graphene leads to a self-adaptive shift of the Fermi level, which tends t…
We report the full reduction of the biological cofactor FMN with visible light using CdSe quantum dots and methylviologen as an electron relay. In turn, these reducing equivalents can drive the stereospecific reduction of ketoisophorone by an old yellow enzyme homologue from Bacillus subtilis (YqjM). The experiments d…
We present three monolithic metamaterial-based THz bandpass filters, the skewed circular slot rings, meandered slots and Jerusalem cross slots, to fit in the THz gap. These THz bandpass filters are comprised of a metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) structure that supports multiple resonances of electric dipole, magnetic dipo…
High performance p-/n-type transistors and complementary inverter circuits are demonstrated using patterned polypyrrole (PPY) as pure electrodes. Strikingly, these devices show good stability under continuous operation and long-term storage conditions. Furthermore, PPY electrodes also exhibit good applicability in sol…
