We show that interface bound states are formed at isolated graphene-superconductor junctions. These states arise due to the interplay of virtual Andreev and normal reflections taking place at these interfaces. Simple analytical expressions for their dispersion are obtained considering interfaces formed along armchair…

A detailed study of the effect of pH, temperature, and pressure on the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with [Fe(III)(P(8-))](7-), where P(8-) represents the octa anionic porphyrin, was performed using stopped-flow techniques. Depending on the pH, different high valent iron-oxo species were formed. At pH < 9 formation of…

Terahertz spectroscopy is used to definitively distinguish between two multiwalled carbon nanotubes (see figure), which have commercial applications in a number of advanced materials. Other techniques do not provide a sensitive discrimination of the measured properties. This observation is rationalized by considering…

OBJECTIVE: Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a clinical syndrome linked with exposure in renal failure patients to gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) during magnetic resonance imaging. Recently, we demonstrated that GBCA exposure led to increased matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of metallop…

The palladium complex of P,S-containing hybrid calixphyrin 1 was investigated with the DFT method. There are two kinds of valence tautomer in 1: one is a Pd(II) form in which the calixphyrin moiety possesses -2 charges and the Pd center takes +2 oxidation state, and the other is a Pd(0) form in which the calixphyrin i…

Montmorillonites modified by hydroxyethylhexadecyldimethyl ammonium bromine were used to prepare poly(ϵ-caprolactone) (PCL)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites by in situ ring-opening polymerization of ϵ-caprolactone. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) analysis illustrated that an exfoliated structure of PCL/MMT nan…

From a periodic array of commercially available zirconia cubes, we demonstrate artificial magnetic and electric dipoles due to the combination of displacement currents and Mie resonance. By scaling the size and periodicity of these dielectric resonators, the corresponding magnetic and electric responses are shifted to…

We show that the thermal annealing of thiol-capped PbS colloidal quantum dots provides a means of narrowing the nanoparticle size distribution, increasing the size of the quantum dots and facilitating their coalescence preferentially along the 100 crystallographic axes. We exploit these phenomena to tune the photolumi…
