Slow relaxation: Exergonic high-spin→low-spin relaxation after photoexcitation has been found to be exceedingly slow in a class of iron(II) complexes with hexadentate imine ligands. The thermal activation barriers that arise between the quintet- and singlet-spin manifolds are the highest ever recorded for spin crossov…

An approach to fabricate large-scale graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with tunable ribbon widths is presented. Regular steps with variable heights from 1 to 100 nm can be prepared on a SiC substrate by a low-pressure etching process. Graphene can be epitaxially grown only on the side walls of the steps, thereby leading to…

An amphiphilic amino resorcinarene (T) was modified onto the surface of graphene oxide (GO) through covalent bond forces and non-covalent bond forces to prepare GO–T. The water-soluble graphene–T (GN–T) composite was prepared by the reduction of GO–T. Then, pre-prepared platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) and different siz…

For the first time, well-dispersed submicrometer-sized YVO(4):Eu(3+) hollow spheres were successfully synthesized though a surfactant-free method by employing Y(OH)CO(3):Eu(3+) colloidal spheres as a sacrificial template and NH(4)VO(3) as a vanadium source. The synthetic process mainly consists of two steps, i.e., hyd…

An analytical expression of the relationship between polarized reflectivities over the planar surface is obtained. A comparison with the reflectivities calculated using the Fresnel equations for a given refractive index and viewing angle demonstrated that the ‘Hong approximation’, which causes erroneous results, is no…

The interaction between a water–ice bilayer and graphite is investigated by means of standard and van der Waals-corrected density functional theory. The long-range van der Waals attraction proves to be dominant in this context due to the absence of strong chemical bonding between the ice bilayer and graphite. Our calc…
