Dibromocarbene functionalization of boron nitride nanosheets: Toward band gap manipulation and nanocomposite applications
(2014)
We report the covalent functionalization of exfoliated boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) using dibromocarbene (DBC) species. The functionalization of BNNSs is enabled as the nanosheets are utilized as 2-dimensional (2-D) ...
Novel Pre-oxidation Patterning on Thin Aluminium Film Generating Ordered Nanopores through Anodization
(2010)
Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) is widely employed as a template for fabrication of nanowires and nanotubes due to its ability to generate self organized (SO), well ordered pore structures. We have developed a new aluminum ...
Forster resonant energy transfer in QD structures
(2009)
Forster resonant energy transfer (FRET) has been investigated in two different quantum dot (QD) structures. Colloidal CdTe QDs of two different sizes act as energy donors and acceptors. They have been deposited in a mixed ...
A microcantilever-based, dual-mode, quantitative sensing platform for investigation of biological interactions
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Physics, 2013)
Since the introduction of the atomic force microscope (AFM) and the subsequent availability of high-quality cantilevers the interest in the application of microcantilevers as biosensors has increased year-on-year. Much of ...
Room-Temperature Self-Assembly of Equilateral Triangular Clusters via Friedel Oscillations
(American Physical Society, 2008)
We report on the formation of equilateral triangular clusters hollow inside with 5?6 atoms per side, self assembled
on Ni adislands grown on Rh(111). The observation of standing wave patterns on the Ni
adislands and the ...
LOFAR Observations of Shocks in the Solar Corona
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)
The Sun can produce large-scale energetic events such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which can excite shock waves that propagate from the low solar atmosphere into interplanetary space. Such shocks can result ...
Spin-phonon coupling parameters from maximally localized Wannier functions and first-principles electronic structure: Single-crystal durene
(2018)
Spin-orbit interaction is an important vehicle for spin relaxation. At finite temperature lattice vibrations modulate the spin-orbit interaction and thus generate a mechanism for spin-phonon coupling, which needs to be ...
