Single atoms can be considered as basic objects for electron microscopy to test the microscope performance and basic concepts for modeling of image contrast. In this work high-resolution transmission electron microscopy was applied to image single platinum atoms in an aberration-corrected transmission electron microsc…
A (124)-oriented SrBi4Ti4O15 (SBTi) ferroelectric thin film with high volume fraction of αSBTi(124)=97% was obtained using a metal organic decomposition process on SiO2/Si substrate coated by (110)-oriented LaNiO3 (LNO) thin film. The remanent polarization and coercive field for (124)-oriented SBTi film are 12.1 μC/cm…
Spin-based electronics in topological insulators (TIs) is favored by the long spin coherence1,2 and consequently fault-tolerant information storage. Magnetically doped TIs are ferromagnetic up to 13 K,3 well below any practical operating condition. Here we demonstrate that the long range ferromagnetism at ambient temp…
An etching growth strategy was developed to prepare corolla-like Pd mesocrystals consisting of unidirectionally aligned, well-spaced, and connected ultrathin (1.8-nm-thick) Pd nanosheets. The combined use of CO and Fe(3+) is critical to the successful synthesis of the branched corolla-like Pd mesocrystals. While CO fu…
Cyclic deformation of magnesium single crystal under fully reversed tension–compression along the [0 0 0 1] direction at a strain amplitude of 0.5% was investigated in ambient air. In situ light microscopy of twins was conducted on the prismatic plane. Fundamental morphology evolution of twinning–detwinning–retwinning…
The synthesis and photophysical and biological investigation of Ru(II)-polypyridyl stabilized water-soluble, luminescent gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are described. These structures bind to DNA and undergo rapid cellular uptake, being localized within the cell cytoplasm and nucleus within 4 h.
The doping of ceria (CeO 2 ) with divalent noble metal ions has been shown to improve the reducibility and enhance the oxygen storage capacity (OSC), although the reasons for this are not well understood. We have examined the interaction of a range of divalent dopants with CeO 2 using density functional theory, and fo…
It is important to obtain a better understanding of the uptake, trafficking, pharmacokinetics, clearance, and role of nanomaterials in biological systems, so that their possible undesirable effects can be avoided. A number of metallic or metal-containing nanomaterials, such as gold nanoparticles and nanorods, quantum…
Single-ion magnets 1 and 2 and their diamagnetic analogues 3 and 4 for magnetic-site dilution were obtained through substitution of the coordinated water molecules of [Ln(TTA)(3)(H(2)O)(2)] (Ln=Dy (1, 2), Y (3, 4); TTA=4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedionate) by 2,2'-bipyridine (1, 3) and 1,10-phenanthroline (…
Multimodal nanodiamonds (NDs) were prepared by attaching fluorescently labeled drug-oligonucleotide conjugates and monoclonal antibodies onto the ND surface. Fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide linkers enabled the intracellular observation and quantification of resultant ND conjugates. The covalent attachment of the…
A continuous flow of hot electrons that are not at thermal equilibrium with the surrounding metal atoms is generated by the absorption of photons. Here we show that hot electron flow generated on a gold thin film by photon absorption (or internal photoemission) is amplified by localized surface plasmon resonance. This…
For decades, researchers and medical professionals have aspired to develop mechanisms for noninvasive treatment and monitoring of pathological conditions within the human body. The emergence of nanotechnology has spawned new opportunities for novel drug delivery vehicles capable of concomitant detection, monitoring, a…
Abstract Due to the large surface area‐to‐volume ratio and high quality crystal structure, single nanowire (NW)‐based UV sensors exhibit very high on/off ratios between photoresponse current and dark current. Practical applications require a large‐scale and low‐cost integration, compatibility to flexible electronics,…
A facile strategy is reported for design and preparation of flexible micro-supercapacitors on a chip based on patterned electrodes of conducting polyaniline nanowire arrays. The interdigital microelectrode is produced by combining microfabrication technology and an in-situ chemical polymerization approach. The assembl…
Abstract Engineering the dropwise condensation of water on surfaces is critical in a wide range of applications from thermal management (e.g. heat pipes, chip cooling etc.) to water harvesting technologies. Surfaces that enable both efficient droplet nucleation and droplet self‐removal (i.e. droplet departure) are ess…
Chemical vapor deposition is used to prepare novel 3D graphene networks, with ethanol as the carbon source. These networks are used as templates for the construction of graphene/metal oxide composite-based supercapacitor electrodes. As a proof of concept, NiO is deposited on 3D graphene networks. The product exhibits…

La conversion du méthanol par les zéolithes est l'une des applications les plus prometteuses pour l'obtention d'hydrocarbures (oléfines, essences, gasoils) à partir de sources alternatives au pétrole (gaz naturel, charbon, biomasse). Dans cette thèse, un procédé catalytique multi-étapes permettant la conversion du mét…
La miniaturisation des systèmes a montré qu’à l’échelle nanométrique, les matériaux possèdent des propriétés différentes de leur état massif.
