We report a temperature-dependent Raman scattering investigation of DyScO(3) and GdScO(3) single crystals from room temperature up to 1200 °C. With increasing temperature, all modes decrease monotonically in wavenumber without anomaly, which attests to the absence of a structural phase transition. The high temperature…
Translocation and localization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in normal and cancerous cells have significant biomedical implications. In this study, SWNTs functionalized with different biomolecules in cells were observed with confocal laser scanning microscopy. Functionalized with PL-PEG, SWNTs were found t…
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in household products and in medicine due to their antibacterial and to wound healing properties. In recent years, there is also an effort for their use in biomedical imaging and photothermal therapy. The primary reason behind the effort for their utility in biomedicine and…
To obtain insight into the effects of the environment on the photophysics and photochemistry of the green fluorescence protein (GFP), eight crystal structures of six synthetic aryl-substituted analogues (2-fluoro, 2-methyl, 3-hydroxy, 3-methoxy, 2,4-dimethyl and 2,5-dimethyl) of the GFP chromophore (4-hydroxy-benzylid…
Synthesis of fused bis-anthracene porphyrin monomers and dimers has been achieved by oxidative ring closure using FeCl(3) and Sc(OTf)(3)/DDQ, respectively. The fused compounds display red-shifted absorption spectra with maxima in the near-IR at 973 and 1495 nm, respectively, and small electrochemical HOMO-LUMO gaps. T…
Docetaxel (DTX), a chemotherapeutic agent, was coupled to the hydrophobic block of poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PEG-b-PCL) copolymers synthesized by metal free ring-opening polymerization. Synthesis of the copolymers and the copolymer-drug conjugate (PEG-b-PCL-DTX) were confirmed by (1)H NMR and…
Absorption of electromagnetic irradiation results in significant heating of metallic nanoparticles, an effect which can be advantageously used in biomedical contexts. Also, metallic nanoparticles are presently finding widespread use as handles, contacts, or markers in nanometer scale systems, and for these purposes it…
In this work, bacterial cellulose was subjected to a high-power ultrasonic treatment for different time intervals. The morphological analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy revealed that this treatment changed the width and height of the microfibrillar ribbons and roughness of their surface…
Monodispersed hollow spherical mesoporous particles with tunable particle size and shell thickness were readily synthesized using latex templates and a silica precursor in a weakly basic ethanol−water mixture.
A kind of polyacrylonitrile-based carbon with a 3-D continuous mesopore structure was prepared by using silica gel as a template. Both the mesopore structure and the nitrogen content could be easily tailored by controlling the carbonization temperature. With decreasing the carbonization temperature, the porosity gradu…
Effects of air exposure on surface properties, electronic structure, and carrier relaxation dynamics in colloidal PbSe nanocrystals (NCs) were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. We show that exposur…
This work demonstrates a large-scale batch fabrication of GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with patterned multi-layer graphene (MLG) as transparent conducting electrodes. MLG films were synthesized using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique on nickel films and showed typical CVD-synthesized MLG film properties,…
We demonstrate that optical transparency of any two-dimensional system with a symmetric electronic spectrum is governed by the fine structure constant and suggest a simple formula that relates a quasiparticle spectrum to an optical absorption of such a system. These results are applied to graphene deposited on a surfa…
In 1996, Matsuzawa et al. reported on the extremely long-lasting afterglow of SrAl2O4:Eu2+ codoped with Dy3+ ions, which was more than 10-times brighter than the previously widely used ZnS:Cu,Co. Since then, research for stable and efficient persistent phosphors has continuously gained popularity. However, even today…
Pure water (H2O) is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. It is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. Because water becomes contaminated by the substances with which it comes into contact, it is not available for use in its pure state. To some degree, water can dissolve every naturally occurring substance on the earth. Becau…
We study coherent phonons in polymer-carbon nanotubes composites by sub-10-fs pump-probe spectroscopy. We find that coherent phonons in the polymer network modulate the exciton resonance of the wrapped nanotube. We propose a model of dynamic environmental coupling in which the polymer vibration affects the carbon nano…
Vacuum-ultraviolet irradiation produces trapped charges in dielectrics. The trapped charges often generate self-consistent electric fields. A Monte Carlo simulation coupled with a Poisson equation solver is used to model the relationship between the irradiation photon flux and electrostatic potential. The simulation i…
We investigated the effect of huge electric field up to E=55 MV/m on tetragonal ferroelectric phase of BaTiO3 single crystal. Both lattice parameters and the dielectric susceptibility along the polar axis were determined. The induced polarization shows a continuous increase up to 20% of the spontaneous polarization. T…
We report electron induced dissociation (EID) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry of the singly-charged cations [Fe(3)O(CH(3)COO)(6)](+) and [Fe(3)O(HCOO)(6)+H(2)O](+). Trinuclear oxo-centered carboxylate-bridged iron complexes of this type are of interest due to their electronic and m…
The structure and magnetic properties of Co2MnSi films on n-Ge(111) substrate were investigated for the motivation of spin injection. The 50-nm-thick Co2MnSi films were fabricated on n-Ge(111) substrates by dc sputtering and postannealed about 1 h at the various temperatures ranging from 200–500 °C. In the annealing t…
