Coordinating ligands are widely used to vary the solubility and reactivity of nanoparticles for subsequent bioconjugation. Although long-term colloidal stability is enhanced by using bidentate coordinating ligands over monodentate ones, other properties such as nonspecific adsorption of target molecules and ligand exc…

We study the effect of confinement on glassy liquids using random first order transition theory as a framework. We show that the characteristic length scale above which confinement effects become negligible is related to the point-to-set length scale introduced to measure the spatial extent of amorphous order in super…

We propose a numerical method to evaluate the two-photon-induced luminescence (TPL) of single gold nanorods (GNRs). The validity of this method is confirmed by the cos 4 α dependence of the TPL of single GNRs on the polarization angle α, which is in good agreement with experimental observations. As comparing with thei…

We monitor effective band gap energy shifts and free reagent concentration during the formation of CdS shells on CdSe nanocrystals to test the hypothesis that alternating addition of stoichiometric doses of precursors can effectively saturate surface sites and thereby enforce conformal shell growth. The selective ioni…

We report the growth of vertically aligned indium-doped ZnO (IZO) nanorods on a glass substrate using a low-temperature hydrothermal method. An IZO nanorod metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) ultraviolet (UV) photodetector (PD) was also fabricated. It was found that the UV-to-visible rejection ratio of the fabricated PD w…

Softness of apparel textiles is a major attribute sought by consumers. There is surprisingly little objective information on the softness properties of rare animal fibres, particularly cashmere, alpaca and mohair. Samples of these and other rare animal fibres from different origins of production and processors were ob…
