Light up my life: Stable, bright, conjugated-polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) show promise for fluorescence imaging of live cells. The cell-permeable CPNs are synthesized by a simple solvent exchange, and accumulate exclusively in the cytosol (see picture) without any noticeable inhibition of cell viability.
One of the most highlighted and fastest moving interfaces of nanotechnology is the application of quantum dots (QDs) in biology. The unparalleled advantages of the size-tunable fluorescent emission and the simultaneous excitation at a single wavelength make QDs the great possibility for use in optical encoding detecti…
2,3,6,7-tetrabromonaphthalene dianhydride has been synthesized by the bromination of naphthalene dianhydride with dibromoisocyanuric acid in excellent yield. The condensation of this dianhydride with 2,6-diisopropylaniline yielded the corresponding tetrabromo-substituted naphthalene diimide (NDI), which is a versatile…
We have applied the quantum Monte Carlo method and tight-binding modeling to calculate the binding energy of biexcitons in semiconductor carbon nanotubes for a wide range of diameters and chiralities. For typical nanotube diameters we find that biexciton binding energies are much larger than previously predicted from…
For the first time, an approach is suggested for the quantitative description of the electronic structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes and the prediction of active sites for the tube controlled functionalization in view of the tube length and ends structure. The approach is based on the tube characteristic featur…
We present here the results of frequency dependent dielectric, polarization and powder X-ray powder diffraction studies in the 300 to 100K temperature range for Ba_0.55Sr_0.45TiO_3. The dielectric results indicate a succession of three relaxor ferroelectric transitions accompanying the cubic to tetragonal to orthorhom…
At room temperature, GdMnO3 is a paraelectric and paramagnetic with a distorted perovskite structure of orthorhombic symmetry (space group Pnma). On cooling, it undergoes a phase transition sequence to a magnetic incommensurate phase (k=delta a*; Tc1=42K) and a A-type antiferromagnetic phase (Tc2=27K). At low temperat…
Populations of Bacillus subtilis spores in which 90 to 99.9% of the spores had been killed by moist heat gave only two fractions on equilibrium density gradient centrifugation: a fraction comprised of less dense spores that had lost their dipicolinic acid (DPA), undergone significant protein denaturation, and were all…
Complex solid-state hydrides can store hydrogen at very high volumetric and gravimetric densities. We present a theoretical framework, which automatically determines phase diagrams and thermodynamically favored hydrogen storage reactions in complex multicomponent systems, such as Li-Mg-N-H (see figure). This method ca…
The effect of annealing on the upconversion luminescence of ZnO:Er 3+ nanocrystals was investigated in detail. The green and the red upconverted emissions under infrared 978-nm light excitation were remarkably enhanced with an increase of annealing temperature. Moreover, for the sample annealed at 500 °C, the ratio of…
We report the growth of ultralong ZnO nanowires on silicon (100) substrates via the gold-catalyzed vapor transport approach. An ample supply of zinc vapor generated through carbothermal reduction of ZnO powder at 917 °C and a suitable amount of oxygen facilitate the rapid growth of nanowires. These ZnO nanowires are e…
The magnetic behaviour of well-dispersed monodisperse Fe3O4 nanoparticles with sizes varying between 6.6 and 17.8?nm prepared in a non-aqueous medium was investigated. The smaller nanocrystals exhibit superparamagnetism with the blocking temperatures increasing with the particle size, whereas the biggest particles are…
We present a theoretical study of the modifications of the radiative and nonradiative decay rates of an optical emitter in close proximity to a noble-metal nanosphere, based on exact electrodynamical theory. We show that the optimal nanosphere diameter for luminescence quantum efficiency enhancement associated with re…
Nanoparticles of ZnS-AgInS2 solid solution (ZAIS) were synthesized by the thermal decomposition of (AgIn)xZn2(1-x)(S2CN(C2H5)2)4 precursors in a hot oleylamine solution. X-ray powder diffraction analyses revealed that the resulting nanoparticle powders were not a mixture of ZnS and AgInS2 but a ZnS-AgInS2 solid soluti…
The unique electronic and optical properties of carbon nanotubes, in conjunction with their size and mechanically robust nature, make these nanomaterials crucial to the development of next-generation biosensing platforms. In this Review, we present recent innovations in carbon nanotube-assisted biosensing technologies…
A study of single injection space-charge-limited current flow in insulator with two sets of traps distributed in energy is presented for a particular situation in which the energy separation of the two sets of traps is too small to give rise a current-voltage characteristic with maximum structure. The current-voltage…
The present paper reports on the fabrication of In2O3 layers by oxidation of InN thin films deposited on n-type silicon substrate by magnetron reactive sputtering. The subsequent solar cells using the resulting In2O3/Si heterojunctions exhibit an ideality factor, deduced from current-voltage (I – V) characteristics of…
1-Phenyl-3-p-fluorophenyl-5-p-chlorophenyl-2-pyrazoline has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Density functional calculations show that B3LYP/6-311G** method can reproduce the structural parameters. The electronic absorption spectra have been pre…
Abstract Theophylline was encapsulated in polyurethane prepared with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI), polycaprolactone (PCL) ( M W = 530 and 2000 g/mol) diols, and starch as polyols and butanediol as chain extender. Polyurethane microspheres were prepared in two reactors; after polyurethane preparation by mixing PCL…
The slow secondary (beta) process of 1,1'-bis (4-methoxyphenyl) cyclohexane and phenolphthalein dimethylether has been investigated by dielectric spectroscopy. New experimental results about the pressure dependence of the two processes are reported, as well as new data about the dependence of the characteristic relaxa…
