Simultaneous measurements of work function (ϕ) and C 1s core level shift were employed to determine the change in electron affinity (χ) and band bending as a function of hole sheet density on H-terminated diamond for atmospheric and fullerene (C60F48) induced surface conductivity. Contrary to earlier investigations, i…

The increasing production and use of quantum dot (QD) nanoparticles have caused concerns on the possibility of contaminating the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems with wastes that may contain QDs. Therefore, studies on the behavior of QDs upon interaction with components of the natural environment have become of inte…

In this contribution the first examples of so-called rigid-core, T-shaped imidazolium ionic liquid crystals, in which the C-2 atom of the imidazolium ring is substituted with an aryl moiety decorated with one or two alkoxy chains, are described. The length of the alkoxy chain(s) was varied from six to eighteen carbon…

DNA-templated nanoparticle (NP) chains were examined as potential magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents using in vitro environments of the extracellular matrix and tissue. A 3-T clinical MRI scanner was utilized to examine and compare image contrast enhanced by dispersed NPs, DNA-templated NP chains, gold-s…

Abstract Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/organoclay nanocomposites were prepared by both solution blending and melt mixing methods. In addition, nanocomposites of PBS/organoclay were also prepared by a two‐step process where the solution blended mixture is subsequently compounded in the melt state using a torque rheome…

Conductive atomic force microscope (cAFM) nanopatterning is demonstrated on epitaxial graphene on SiC (0001) under ambient conditions. Nanopatterning kinetics and chemistry suggest that ambient cAFM nanopatterning induces local oxidization with the surface, interface, and bulk layers of epitaxial graphene on SiC (0001…

Thermal conductivity of chalcogenide material with superlatticelike (SLL) structure is investigated using the 3ω method and the molecular dynamics method. Both the measured and calculated results show that the thermal conductivity of SLL is lower than those of conventional chalcogenide materials and will decrease to a…

In this study, poly[2-(4′-vinylphenyl)-3,4,5-triphenylthiophene] (PTP) with pendant tetraphenylthiophene (TP) groups was synthesized to study its aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property. The solution emission spectra of the PTP nanoaggregates contain discernible monomer and aggregate bands with their relative inte…

The absent critical thickness of fully relaxed asymmetric ferroelectric tunnel junctions is investigated by first-principles calculations. The results show that PbTiO3 thin film between Pt and SrRuO3 electrodes can still retain a significant and stable polarization down to thicknesses as small as 0.8 nm, quite unlike…

I want to break free: A photoactivatable split intein can be genetically fused to a protein of interest and used in potentially general ways to relay a phototrigger in a coupled fashion (see picture). The protein staphylocoagulase can be unmasked by light and thereby activates native prothrombin.
