Abstract Few‐layer graphene‐like sheets of MoS2, WS2, MoSe2 and WSe2 were prepared by employing two methods. The first method uses microwave synthesis in ethylene glycol or water medium and the second method involves laser irradiation of the bulk samples dispersed in dimethylformamide. The few‐layer dichalcogenide sam…

A new type of acceptor-donor(2) dyad system containing two magnesium porphyrin molecules and a fullerene molecule is much more stable than the magnesium porphyrin itself. When it is fabricated into a binary system using imidazole carboxylic acid as a linker to indium tin oxide, the molecule effects efficient photocurr…

Electrochemically functional graphene nanocomposites have been directly prepared by one-step liquid-phase exfoliation of natural flake graphite with methylene blue (MB). UV-visible spectra of the obtained aqueous dispersions of graphene-methylene blue (G-MB) nanocomposite at different exfoliation time indicate that th…

Anisotropic microparticles adsorbed at fluid–fluid interfaces create interface deformations and interact because of capillarity. Thus far, much of the work related to this phenomenon has focused on capillary attraction, which is ubiquitous in the far field for microparticles at interfaces. In this paper, we explore ca…

We study the electrolyte-gate-induced conductance at the surface of SrTiO(3)(001). We find two distinct transport regimes as a function of gate voltage. At high carrier densities, a percolative metallic state is induced in which, at low temperatures, clear signatures of a Kondo effect are observed. At lower carrier de…

This paper proposes a novel methodology to improve noncollisional photochemical reactions such as Förster resonance energy transfer on solid surfaces. Since an excited guest molecule densely adsorbed on the solid surfaces is quenched by an unfavorable interaction between guests in general, the photochemical reactions…

A heterospin dinuclear complex [Dy(0.87)Yb(1.13)(H(2)cht)(2)Cl(4)(H(2)O)(MeCN)]·MeCN shows shifts of the relaxation barriers with respect to the barriers observed in homospin Dy(2) and Yb(2) isostructural complexes. The origin of slow relaxation in the latter two compounds was elucidated by ab initio calculations.

A sequence of seven nematic phases has been observed in chiral mesogenic dimers, having odd number of carbon atoms in the spacer, thus a bent shape. The highest temperature phase is a chiral nematic (cholesteric) phase on heating or blue phases on cooling. The lowest temperature nematic phase expels the chiral twist a…
