Five new trinuclear heterometallic Cu(II)-Mn(II) complexes [(CuL)2Mn(O2CPh)2] (1), [(CuL)2Mn(N3)2] (2), [(CuL)2Mn(NCO)2] (3), [(CuL)2Mn(NO3)2] (4) and [(CuL)2Mn(Sal)2]·CH2Cl2 (5) have been synthesized with the di-Schiff base ligand H2L (where H2L = N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine and Sal = salicylate). These…
ZnO nanoneedle arrays were grown vertically on a fluorine-doped tin oxide-coated glass by hydrothermal method at a relatively low temperature. A self-powered photoelectrochemical cell-type UV detector was fabricated using the ZnO nanoneedles as the active photoanode and H2O as the electrolyte. This solid-liquid hetero…
In this paper, CdSe quantum dots (QDs) photocatalysts were successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The factors affecting synthesized CdSe QDs were investigated under different experimental conditions. CdSe QDs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, tr…
A new mixed rare-earth orthochromite series, LaxSm1-xCrO3, prepared through single-step hydrothermal synthesis is reported. Solid solutions (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.625, 0.75, 0.875, and 1.0) were prepared by the hydrothermal treatment of amorphous mixed-metal hydroxides at 370 °C for 48 h. Transmission electron microscop…
Charge-assisted halogen bonding is unambiguously revealed from structural and electronic investigations of a series of isostructural charge-transfer complexes derived from iodinated tetrathiafulvalene and tetracyanoquinodimethane derivatives, (EDT-TTFI2)2(TCNQF(n)), n=0-2, which exhibit variable degrees of ionicity. T…
Fusarium graminearum is the pathogen for Fusarium head blight (FHB) on wheat, which could significantly reduce grain quality/yield and produce a variety of mycotoxins posing a potential safety concern to human foods. As an environmentally friendly alternative to the commonly used chemical fugicides, a highly effective…
Through simple addition of a Lewis acid to a conjugated polymer bearing a Lewis basic heteroatom, the hole transport of the polymer can be effectively p-doped resulting in a two-orders increase in hole mobility. The temperature dependent hole transport of a variety of Lewis acid concentrations are explored.

We report strong THz-induced transparency in CVD-grown graphene where 92-96% of the peak-field is transmitted compared to 74% at lower field strength. Time-resolved THz pump/THz probe studies reveal that the absorption recovers in 2-3 ps. The induced transparency is believed to arise from nonlinear pumping of carriers…
Due to environmental and fossil fuel supply concerns, polyfurfuryl alcohol or ‘furan’ resin has recently gained attention as a renewable alternative thermoset resin with reduced CO 2 emissions in comparison to the existing petrochemical-based systems. When combined with natural flax fibres, it offers the potential to…
We develop a refraction model to analyze the electro-optic effects of an in-plane-switching blue phase liquid crystal (IPS-BPLC) cell. Good agreement with experiment is obtained. Based on this model, we optimize the parameters affecting the electro-optics of IPS-BPLC, such as electrode dimension, saturated induced bir…
Using SrTiO3 nanocuboids as a model system, we show with aberration-corrected high resolution electron microscopy at sub-Å resolution that surface relaxations or reconstructions are present on the nanocuboids, depending on the synthetic process. Oleic acid synthesis, acetic acid synthesis, and microwave-assisted aceti…
A postsynthetic protocol of functionalizing the preformed hollow nanoparticles with metal nanocrystals was developed based on galvanic replacement reaction on the Mn3O4 surface inside the cavity. The developed protocol produced hollow nanoreactor systems, in which a high density of ultrafine catalytic nanocrystals of…
First-principles calculations show that ZnSnN2 has a very small formation enthalpy, and the donor defects such as SnZn antisites and ON impurities have high concentration, making the material degenerately n-type, which explains the observed high electron concentration. ZnSnN2 can be regarded as a new material that com…
By using gold nanorods as an example, we report the dynamic and reversible tuning of the plasmonic property of anisotropically shaped colloidal metal nanostructures by controlling their orientation using external magnetic fields. The magnetic orientational control enables instant and selective excitation of the plasmo…
We investigate the molecular acceptors 3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (PTCDA), 2,3,5,6-tetra uoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ), and 4,5,9,10-pyrenetetraone (PYTON) on Ag(111) using densityfunctional theory. For two groups of the HSE(α, ω) family of exchange-correlation functionals (ω=…
We combine the effect of the electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions to study the electronic and optical properties of zb-GaN. We show that only by treating the two effects at the same time it is possible to obtain an unprecedented agreement of the zero and finite-temperature electronic gaps and absorption…
All-optical switching--controlling light with light--has the potential to meet the ever-increasing demand for data transmission bandwidth. The development of organic π-conjugated molecular materials with the requisite properties for all-optical switching applications has long proven to be a significant challenge. Howe…
Topological insulator surfaces support metallic surface states with closed Fermi contours, encircling an odd number of Dirac points. Experimental studies have so far concentrated on surfaces with only one Dirac point, but three Dirac points can be expected for certain surface orientations of several topological insula…
We study the temperature dependence of the pressure-induced softening in the negative thermal expansion material Zn(CN)${}_{2}$ using neutron powder diffraction and molecular dynamics simulations. Both the simulation and experiment show that the pressure-induced softening only occurs above a minimum temperature and al…
