Photochromism of Peroxotungstic Acid/PVP Nanocomposite Obtained by Sol-Gel Method

Peroxotungstic acid (PTA)/PVP composite film was prepared via sol-gel method. TEM revealed that the composite films consist of peroxotungstic acid nano-grains embedded in amorphous PVP matrix. The samples were observed to exhibit reversible photochromic effect when irradiated with solar light. The iodometric titration and FT-IR spectra indicated the presence of peroxo groups (W–O–O–W) incorporated into PTA structure. EPR measurement revealed the presence of unpaired paramagnetic electrons in PTA/PVP nanocomposite gel. The UV-Vis-Nir transmittance spectra and EPR spectroscopy of sample indicate that the photochromic behaviour is due to the photo-excitation of the unpaired electrons at W–O octahedral sites of peroxotungstic acid.     

Template synthesis of heterostructured polyaniline/Bi2Te3 nanowires

Heterostructured polyaniline/Bi₂Te₃ nanowires have been prepared by chemical and electrochemical reactions on a porous alumina template. Its morphology and structure have been studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and electron probe microanalysis. The microscope analysis reveals that Bi₂Te₃ is well enveloped in polyaniline tubules in pores of alumina template. This microscopic material shows possible application in microthermoelectric device.     

Long-time behaviour of solutions of a class of nonlinear parabolic equations

In this paper, the long-time behaviour of solutions of a class of nonlinear parabolic equations is studied. It is shown that the solutions of initial-boundary value problem to the equations converge to a travelling wave solution of the equation or a self-similar solution of a Hamilton–Jacobi equation under certain conditions on initial and boundary values of the solutions.     

A novel PbS hierarchical superstructure guided by the balance between thermodynamic and kinetic control via a single-source precursor route

In this work, a novel lead sulfide (PbS) hierarchical superstructure, denoted as octapodal dendrites with a cubic center, has been synthesized employing a simple single-source precursor route. Our experimental results demonstrate that the novel hierarchical superstructure was generated through the delicate balance between the kinetic growth and thermodynamic growth regimes. Moreover, the morphology of PbS crystals can be controlled by adjusting the solvent under a thermodynamically or kinetically controlled growth regime. It is highly expected that these findings will be useful in understanding the formation of PbS nanocrystals with different morphologies, which are also applicable to other face-centered cubic nanocrystals.     

Stamp printing of silicon-nanomembrane-based photonic devices onto flexible substrates with a suspended configuration

In this Letter, we demonstrate for the first time (to our best knowledge) stamp printing of silicon nanomembrane (SiNM)-based in-plane photonic devices onto a flexible substrate using a modified transfer printing method that utilizes a suspended configuration, which can adjust the adhesion between the released SiNM and the "handle" silicon wafer. With this method, 230 nm thick, 30 μm wide, and up to 5.7 cm long SiNM-based waveguides are transferred to flexible Kapton films with >90% transfer yield. The propagation loss of the transferred waveguides is measured to be ~1.1 dB/cm. Scalability of this approach to transfer intricate structures, such as photonic crystal waveguides and multimode interference couplers with a minimum feature size of 200 nm and 2 μm, respectively, is also demonstrated.     

Indirect laser-induced fluorescence detection of diuretics separated by capillary electrophoresis

Indirect LIF detection was applied to the detection of four acidic diuretics separated by CZE. Semiconductor laser was employed to provide the stable excitation of 473 nm. With an optimized electrophoretic buffer system which contained 5 mM of triethylamine, 0.1 microM of fluorescein, and 5% of n-butanol, fast separation of four diuretics (ethacrynic acid, chlorthalidone, bendroflumethiazide, and bumetanide) can be performed within 3 min with the detection limits of 0.2-2 microg/mL. The impacts of buffer components including the concentrations of the electrolytes, fluorescence probe, and the organic additives were demonstrated. The method was applied for the detection of diuretics in urine. As an alternative way for the fast analysis of diuretics, this indirect detection method provided the technical support for future microchip performances, in which diuretics may be detected in the microchip by the common LIF detector without derivatization.
