Single crystals of Ln(4)Na(2)K(2)M(2)O(13) (Ln = Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd; M = Nb, Ta) were grown out of a reactive high temperature hydroxide melt. The structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Ln(4)Na(2)K(2)M(2)O(13) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c in which niobium and tantalum are locate…

We investigate the relationship between the multiexponential photoluminescence (PL) dynamics of large nanocrystal (NC) ensembles and the intensity intermittency (blinking) characteristic of single NCs. A general model is developed and a simple fitting form derived for the analysis of PL decay curves allowing the extra…

The periplasmic ligand-binding protein ChoX is part of the ABC transport system ChoVWX that imports choline as a nutrient into the soil bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti. We have recently reported the crystal structures of ChoX in complex with its ligands choline and acetylcholine and the structure of a fully closed bu…

We analyze the photo-induced carrier and magnetization dynamics in antiferromagnetic (AFM) ${\text{HoMnO}}_{3}$ single crystals, delineated by wavelength-dependent femtosecond spectroscopy. The emergence of long-range and short-range magnetic order are unambiguously revealed in association with an abnormal blueshift o…

Atomic pair distribution functions are useful because they have an easy intuitive interpretation and can be obtained both experimentally and from computer-generated structure models. For bulk materials, atomic pair distribution functions are solely determined by the intrinsic atomic geometry, i.e., how atoms are posit…

We reported a novel poly(ether amine) (PEAC) containing poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) short blocks and coumarin units, which was synthesized by nucleophilic addition/ring-opening polymerization of diepoxy and diamine monomers. PEAC can be directly dispersed in aqueous solution as uniformly sized nanoparticles 50-60 nm in…

The pairing symmetry is one of the major issues in the study of iron-based superconductors. We adopt a minimal two-band tight-binding model with various channels of pairing interaction, and derive a set of two-band Bogoliubov--de Gennes (BdG) equations. The BdG equations are implemented in real space and then solved s…
