In this letter, the zeroth-order and TM10modes of composite right/left-handed (CRLH) mushroom resonator are investigated with regards to the number of cells. It is shown that in addition to 2N - 1 metamaterial resonance frequencies in an N-cell mushroom resonator, there is also a resonance which belongs to TM10mode of…

We report that assemblies formed by eight oligopeptides at phospholipid-decorated interfaces of thermotropic liquid crystals (LCs) trigger changes in ordering of the LCs that are dependent on the secondary structures of the oligopeptides (as characterized in situ using infrared-visible sum-frequency spectroscopy).

The mechanochromic compound 1 forms green-emitting crystals (1g) and blue-emitting crystals (1b) that exhibit two intriguing responses to mechanical stimulation. Upon mechanical stimulation, the emission color of 1g does not change but its crystalline structure does. Conversely, 1b shows a clear emission shift, but it…

The determination of oxygen content, hydrophobicity and reduction efficiency of graphene oxide (GO) are difficult tasks because of its heterogeneous structure. Herein, we describe a novel approach for the detailed understanding of the surface chemistry of GO by studying the interactions between [Ru(bpy)3](2+) and GO.

The Raman scattering D-peak in graphene is spatially localised in close proximity to defects. Here, we demonstrate the capability of tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) to probe individual point defects, even for a graphene layer with an extremely low defect density. This is of practical interest for future graphen…

The thermally healable polymer P(LMA-co-FMA-co-MIMA) has been studied by temperature-dependent FT-Raman spectroscopy, two-dimensional Raman correlation analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. To the best of our knowledge this study reports for the first time on the investigation of a self-healing po…

H NMR studies clearly suggest that the π-π stacking interaction and hydrogen bonding between carbonyl groups of coumarin coupled pyrene with the -OH group of solvent were the driving forces for the process of gelation and self-aggregation. Rheological investigation clearly demonstrates the flow behaviour and reversibl…

TiO2/graphene composites have shown promise as photocatalysts, leading to improved electronic properties. We have modeled using density functional theory TiO2/graphene interfaces formed between graphene with various defects/functional groups (C vacancy, epoxide, and hydroxyl) and TiO2 clusters of various sizes. We con…

Appending perfluoroalkyl substituents to bis(urea) gelators results in significantly decreased inter-chain interactions with markedly thinner fibres and hence more cross-linked and more transparent gels with potential applications in the crystallisation of fluorinated pharmaceuticals. Gel structure has been probed by…

Bijels are typically prepared by arresting the phase separation of two liquids using interfacial particles. The surface treatment of the particles is challenging but can be overcome at a cost (Cui et al., Science, 2013, 342, 460-463). Here, we use mixed commercial fumed-silica nanoparticles, giving a facile route to b…
