We study sequential tunneling of magnetic excitations in nonitinerant systems through triangular molecular magnets. It is known that the quantum state of these molecular magnets can be controlled by application of an electric or a magnetic field. Here, we use this fact to control the flow of a pure magnetization curre…

Here we report on the synthesis, characterization, and photophysics of multichromophoric arrays based on a triptycene scaffold that acts as a bridging ligand for Ir(III) and Os(II) satellite active components. The triptycene scaffold not only furnishes a rigid star-shaped 3D displacement of the metallic units in space…

The o-hydroxycinnamic derivatives represent efficient caged compounds that can realize quantification of delivery upon uncaging, but there has been lack of time-resolved and mechanistic studies. We used time-resolved infrared (TRIR) spectroscopy to investigate the photochemical uncaging dynamics of the prototype o-hyd…

We observed the high-speed anisotropic motion of an individual gold nanoparticle in 3D at the picometer scale using a high-energy electron probe. Diffracted electron tracking (DET) using the electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) patterns of labeled nanoparticles under wet-SEM allowed us to super-accurately measur…

The interface effects on the ferroelectric polarization and stability of PbTiO3 (PTO) films with metallic (Pt) or oxide (LaNiO3, SrRuO3) electrodes were studied using density functional theory calculation. It was found that the PTO film with oxide electrodes has stronger electrode/ferroelectric interface adhesion, low…

We describe a systematic study of triplet sensitization in a poly(phenyleneethynylene) conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE) in methanol solution by using a series of three cationic iridium complexes with varying triplet energy. The cationic iridium complexes bind to the anionic CPE by ion-pairing, leading to singlet state…

New C60 and C70 fullerene dyads formed with 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide chromophores have been prepared by the Bingel cyclopropanation reaction. The resulting monoadducts were investigated with respect to their fluorescence properties (quantum yields and lifetimes) to unravel the role of the charge-transfer naphthalimid…

Mechanochemistry is of greater interest at present because of its application in the transformation of waste. In this study, an innovative application is proposed, namely to mechanochemically treat blast furnace slag so that it can be recycled into a low-cost adsorbent. In particular, the way this industrial waste ads…

We have studied the stability of thiolated Au38 nanoparticles (NPs) via density functional theory based calculations varying the coverage from 0 up to 32 molecules. Three different initial core arrangements were considered for the cluster, spherical, tubular, and bi-icosahedral, while thiol groups were attached to the…

Analog memristors that exhibit an electronic conductivity change in response to ionic motion have been simulated using the finite element method. Several physical mechanisms are considered for the redistribution of dopants within the device and all result in minimal resistance changes. The mechanisms considered that r…
