Visible light-induced photocatalysts with reductive energy storage abilities

Reductive energy from visible light-responsive Au–TiO₂ photocatalyst, which is based on plasmon resonance absorption of Au nanoparticles, can be stored in WO₃ as a reductive energy storage material. About 60% of the charge stored in WO₃ is consumed on the WO₃ and the other 40% is on the Au–TiO₂ by reduction of ambient O₂. Electrochemically pretreated MoO₃ can also be used as an energy storage material.     

Fast decay of solutions for linear wave equations with dissipation localized near infinity in an exterior domain

Uniform energy and L² decay of solutions for linear wave equations with localized dissipation will be given. In order to derive the L²-decay property of the solution, a useful device whose idea comes from Ikehata-Matsuyama (Sci. Math. Japon. 55 (2002) 33) is used. In fact, we shall show that the L²-norm and the total energy of solutions, respectively, decay like and O(1/t²) as t→+∞ for a kind of the weighted initial data.     

Orbital localization in transition metal molecules

In multiply bonded, weakly interacting systems the excessive electron repulsion associated with the non-dynamical correlation error can be reduced within the Hartree Fock approximation by localizing the bonding orbitals. The mechanism behind this (unphysical) orbital localization is studied through calculations on a model system, and SCF and CI calculations on the MnO⁺ ion. It is shown, from a pair-population analysis of the two-particle density matrix (which is analogous to a Mulliken population analysis of the one-density) that the orbital localization is a two-electron effect. Transition metal molecules often exhibit this kind of orbital localization which may (or may not) require symmetry breaking. The special characteristics of transition metal molecules that makes them suitable candidates for orbital localization will be discussed.

Moving nonlinear localized vibrational modes for a one-dimensional homogenous lattice with quartic anharmonicity

Moving nonlinear localized vibrational modes (i.e. discrete breathers) for the one-dimensional homogenous lattice with quartic anharmonicity are obtained analytically by means of a semidiscrete approximation plus an integration. In addition to the pulse-envelope type of moving modes which have been found previously both analytically and numerically, we find that a kink-envelope type of moving mode which has not been reported before can also exist for such a lattice system. The two types of modes in both right- and left-moving form can occur with different carrier wavevectors and frequencies in separate parts of the plane. Numerical simulations are performed and their results are in good agreement with the analytical predictions. Received 13 October 1999 and Received in final form 15 May 2000     

Strategies of tailored nanomaterials for electrochemiluminescence signal enhancements

Nanomaterials and their applications were studied extensively over the past few decades due to their properties which are associated mainly with the nanoscale sizes and unique characteristics that they have. Among many applications, these nanomaterials have been playing great, multifaceted roles in increasing the analytical performances of electrochemiluminescence (ECL). In this article, we review the main possible approaches – based on nanoparticles – to modify the photophysical properties of the excited state generated as a consequence of the electrochemical stimulus and in particular taking profit of the so-called metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) and resonance energy transfer (RET) processes. We believe that these strategies will lead to the design of very efficient systems that can substantially increase the possible successful applications of ECL.     

Electron beam lithography designed chemical nanosensors based on localized surface plasmon resonance

Efficient nanochemosensors designed by electron beam lithography and based on localized surface plasmon resonance excited on noble metal nanocylinders are presented. Using localized surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, we report here a high sensitivity corresponding to a density of about 18 × 10⁻²¹ mol of adsorbate per nanocylinders, we present the results obtained with gold and silver nanoparticles. This detection corresponds to less than one monolayer of molecules adsorbate on the nanoparticle. Additionally a subsequent layers deposition of polyelectrolytes is used to detect very thin polymer films. Although the results presented in this work are far from conclusive, the advantages of these nanochemosensors discussed here open the possibilities of further developments in a wide range of chemical and medical applications.
