The effects of a direct connection between ferrocene and porphyrin units have been thoroughly investigated by electrochemical and spectroscopic methods. These data not only reveal that substitution of the porphyrin macrocycle by one, two, three or four ferrocenyl groups strongly affects the electronic properties of th…

An important task for quantum-information processing is optimal discrimination between two nonorthogonal quantum states, which until now has been realized only optically. Here, we present and compare experimental realizations of optimal quantum measurements for distinguishing between two nonorthogonal quantum states e…

We use a selective reduction reaction to fabricate a new kind of dual composite, which has a “composite-within-a-composite” structure. Based on the different reduction behavior of Fe2O3, an Fe-rich structure (Fe–Fe3O4–Al2O3) is formed in an Al-rich structure (FeAl2O4–Al2O3). The Fe-rich structure can bring down the co…

We examine the nucleation kinetics of Au clusters on graphene and explore the relationship with layer number and underlying supporting substrate of graphene. Using the mean field theory of diffusion-limited aggregation, morphology patterns are semiquantitatively analyzed to obtain Au adatom effective diffusion constan…

Abstract Time‐dependent photoemission spectroscopy is employed to study the kinetics of the hydro‐genation/deuteration reaction of graphene. Resulting in an unusual kinetic isotope effect, the graphene deuteration reaction proceeds faster than hydrogenation and leads to substantially higher maximum coverages of deuter…

Nanoshells have been previously shown to tune absorption frequencies efficiently. What will happen when a nanoshell embeds on a small core system? A theoretical model that a core composed of gold is embedded within a nanoshell of Au/Ag is constructed to answer this question. The calculations based on the discrete dipo…

Experimentally measured electronic band gaps of atomically sharp straight and chevronlike armchair graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) adsorbed on a gold substrate are smaller than theoretically predicted quasiparticle band gaps of their free-standing counterparts [Linden et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 216801 (2012)]. The infl…

Azobenzene macrocycles were designed for switchable π-stacking interaction. After efficient preparation and characterization of azobenzene macrocycles containing electron rich as well as electron poor elements a dimeric analogue was synthesized, which formed reversibly 3D-networks. Gel formation was observed with arom…

The synthesis and detailed characterization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) inside human hair has been achieved by treatment of hair with HAuCl(4) in alkaline medium. The AuNPs, which show a strong red fluorescence under blue light, are generated inside the fiber and are arranged in the cortex in a remarkably regular pa…

We imaged and quantitatively characterized electromagnetic hot spots near the surfaces of plasmon resonant gold nanocubes. The strongest fields are localized at the nanocube corners as compared to those on the sides. The near-field enhancement on the surface of the cube was imaged as a function of incident polarizatio…

A series of novel disulfide-containing triblock copolymers, poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(L-lysine)-b-poly(rac-leucine) (PEG-SS-PLys-PLeu), were prepared. In an aqueous solution, the copolymers could self-assemble to form core–shell-corona micelles with a disulfide-linked detachable PEG corona, since the PLys middle sh…

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been widely used as nanofillers for polymer reinforcement. However, it has been restricted by the limited available interface area of MWNTs in the polymer matrices. Oxidation unzipping of MWNTs is an effective way to solve this problem. The unzipped multiwalled carbon nanotube…
