We describe the modes of a Fabry–Perot cavity made of two-dimensional photonic crystal guided-mode resonance mirrors (Si3N4/air), and compare it with an ideal Fabry–Perot cavity and a cavity made of Bragg mirrors. As the evolution of modes is analyzed, a lower tuning efficiency and a larger tuning range are obtained c…

Although peptide amphiphiles have been explored as nanomaterials for different applications, nanostructures formed by hierarchical molecular assembly of sequence-specific peptidomimetics are much less developed. Such protein-like nanomaterials could enhance the current application of peptide-based amphiphiles by enric…

Photoinduced charge transfer in a double-linked zinc porphyrin-fullerene dyad is studied. When the dyad is excited at the absorption band of the charge-transfer complex (780 nm), an intramolecular exciplex is formed, followed by the complete charge separated (CCS) state. By analyzing the results obtained from time-res…

Abstract We report the fabrication of vertically aligned single‐walled carbon nanotube (VA‐SWCNT) electrodes for a symmetric electrochemical capacitor using a simple, low‐cost ethanol‐based SWCNT growth system. From the CNT direct growth technique, the electrode was easily prepared and consequently assembled with an e…

We report that poly(L-lysine)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLL-g-PEG) copolymers that bear multiple thiol groups on the polymer backbone are exceptional ligands for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). In general, these graft copolymer ligands stabilize AuNPs against environments that would ordinarily lead to particle aggregat…

The decarbonization process for silicone resin particles in a hydrogen gas flow and the properties of resulting Si – O – C (– H ) ceramics were investigated in terms of mass loss, specific surface areas, and photoluminescence ( PL ) spectra. In particular, PL spectra of Si–O–C(–H) ceramics decarbonized in a hydrogen g…
