A cost-effective method for the fabrication of a glass capillary based plasmonic platform for the selective detection and identification of analytes of importance in health, environment, and safety is demonstrated. This ...

The effect of the carboxylic acid substituent position of phenyleneethynylene systems on the 2D self-organization is revealed by scanning tunneling microscopy.

Two-dimensional self-organization of a series of phenyleneethynylenes was investigated, at ambient conditions, by varying the length of alkoxy chain and introducing functional groups at the terminal positions using ...

The modified electronic properties at the heterojunctions of Au nanoparticle-decorated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been utilized for photoinduced electron transfer by anchoring a photoactive molecule, namely ...

The effect of hydrazine on the photophysical and morphological properties of water-soluble thioglycolic acid-capped cadmium telluride (CdTe) nanopaiticles at room temperature has been investigated. At lower concentrations ...

A brief summary of our ongoing efforts to understand the surface properties of nanoparticles using fluorophores, namely pyrene alkanethiols, is presented. Excited state interactions were investigated by varying the length ...

Chromophoric systems with proper recognition motifs can organize into well-defined arrays forming supramolecular assemblies and further into nanoscopic materials. The optical and electrical properties of organic nanomaterials ...

Photoinduced electron-transfer processes in fullerene-based donor-acceptor dyads (D-B-A) in homogeneous and cluster systems are summarized. Stabilization of charge has been achieved through the use of fullerene ...

The coupled plasmon absorption of Au nanorod dimers is investigated as a function of the orientation between the long-axis of the nanorod by linking them with rigid and flexible molecules. As the angle between the Au ...
