A multi-polarization spectral integration method to increase the refractive index detection limit of gold nanostructures is presented. For a dual-period nanogrid structure, the proposed method increased signal-to-noise ratio and refractive index detection limit about 8 times larger than the simple intensity method. Th…

Silicon wafers were structured with a femtosecond laser on the cm2 scale with high spatial frequency laser-induced periodic surface structures. These areas are characterized by regular parallel ripples with a period of the order of 100 nm. The particular ripple spacing is determined by the illumination wavelength of t…

The solubility of Vitamin D 3 in methanol, ethanenitrile, ethyl ethanoate, ethanol, propan-2-one, and propan-1-ol was measured in the temperature range from (248.2 to 273.2) K by the static equilibrium method. The results revealed that the solubility of Vitamin D 3 in solvents was observed to decrease in the order of…

PURPOSE: Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is an experimental radiotherapy technique that has shown potent antitumor effects with minimal damage to normal tissue in animal studies. This unique form of radiation is currently only produced in a few large synchrotron accelerator research facilities in the world. To promo…

Twisted zinc oxide nanowires and nanotubes were recently synthesized by screw-dislocation growth. We show theoretically that once their diameter increases above a critical size of the order of a few atomic spacings, the existence of these structures can be rationalized in terms of the energetics of surfaces and verita…

Type-II GaSb/GaAs coupled quantum rings have exhibited two-order-of-magnitude luminescence enhancement and ten-times elongation of recombination lifetime at room temperature as compared with regular rings. The longer lifetime suggests that a significant amount of electrons are confined in coupled rings rather than sim…

Abstract Five (5CGC) and six (6CGC) membered cyclic glycerilic carbonates having exocyclic urethane functions, as potential monomers for polyurethanes and polycarbonates, were prepared by two different routes: “two‐steps” and the “one‐pot” synthesis. For the “two‐steps” route, based on the consecutive aminolysis and t…

Clarification of critical wetting with short-range forces by simulations has been hampered by the lack of accurate methods to locate where the transition occurs. We solve this problem by developing an anisotropic finite-size scaling approach and show that then the wetting transition is a "bulk" critical phenomenon wit…

We applied in situ x-ray reflectivity and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy to study the impact of annealing on low temperature (200 K) deposited organic thin films of diindenoperylene (DIP) on SiO2 and indium tin oxide (ITO). At 200 K, DIP is crystalline on SiO2 and amorphous on ITO. Upon heating to room tempera…

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a unique and powerful tool for observation of nanoparticles. However, due to the uneven spatial distribution of particles conventionally dried on copper grids, TEM is rarely employed to evaluate the spatial distribution of nanoparticles in aqueous solutions.
