SCANNING TUNNELING MICROSCOPY / SPECTROSCOPY STUDIES OF BINARY ORGANIC FILMS
(2009)
Multi-component organic molecular films have seen increasing applications in photovoltaic technologies and other organic electronic applications. These applications have been based upon assumptions regarding film structure ...
MULTIPHOTON ABSORPTION: FABRICATION, FUNCTIONALIZATION AND APPLICATIONS
(2009)
Despite the remarkable progress in micro/nano-scale fabrication that has occurred over the last decades, feature sizes are still restricted by the diffraction limit. The resolution in conventional photolithography is ...
OPTICAL KERR EFFECT SPECTROSCOPY OF SIMPLE LIQUIDS
(2009)
Optical Kerr effect (OKE) spectroscopy has become a prominent nonlinear optical technique for studying liquids, which allows for the direct, time-resolved probing of collective orientational diffusion as well as Raman-active ...
STRUCTURE TAILORED PROPERTIES AND FUNCTIONALITIES OF ZERO-DIMENSIONAL NANOSTRUCTURES
(2009)
The field of nanoscience and nanotechnology has achieved significant progress over last thirty years. Complex nanostructures with tunable properties for novel applications have been successfully fabricated and characterized. ...
Synthesis, Characterization and Catalytic Properties of Bimetallic Nanoparticles
(2009)
Due to the ever-increasing desire for catalysts that possess high activities and selectivities for industrially relevant reactions, much effort is being spent on the synthesis of mono and bimetallic nanoparticles with ...
Visible Light Photorelease of Carboxylate Anions by Mediated Photoinduced Electron Transfer to Pyridinium-based Protecting Groups
(2009)
The use of sensitized photoinduced electron transfer (PET) to trigger release of redox-active photoremovable protecting groups (PRPGs) allows a broad range of chromophores to be selected that absorb in difference wavelength ...
DENSITY FUNCTIONAL CALCULATIONS OF BACKBONE 15N CHEMICAL SHIELDINGS IN PEPTIDES AND PROTEINS
(2009)
In this dissertation, we describe computational and theoretical study of backbone 15N chemical shieldings in peptides and proteins. Comprehensive density functional calculations have been performed on systems of different ...
DEVELOPMENT OF ION-MOBILITY AND MASS SPECTROMETRY FOR PROBING THE REACTIVITY OF NANOPARTICLES AND NANOCOMPOSITES
(2009)
Aerosols of diameter smaller than 100 nm, usually are referred as nanoparticles or ultrafines, have received considerable interests lately as a source of building blocks to novel materials. However, our capabilities for ...
