Spin—orbit stable dirac nodal line in monolayer B6O

The two-dimensional (2D) materials with nodal line band crossing have been attracting great research interest. However, it remains a challenge to find high-stable nodal line structure in 2D systems. Herein, based on the first-principles calculations and theoretical analysis, we propose that monolayer B₆O possesses symmetry protected Dirac nodal line (DNL) state, with its Fermi velocity of 10⁶ m/s in the same order of magnitude as that of graphene. The origin of DNL fermions is induced by coexistence of time-reversal symmetry and inversion symmetry. A two-band tight-binding model is further given to understand the mechanism of DNL. Considering its robustness against spin—orbit coupling (SOC) and high structural stability, these results suggest monolayer B₆O as a new platform for realizing future high-speed low-dissipation devices.

Isoconversional Curing and Degradation Kinetics Study of Self-assembled Thermo-responsive Resin System Bearing Oxime and Iminium Groups

This paper demonstrates synthesis of a self-assembled resin system containing p-acetylpyridine oxime, formaldehyde and p-methoxyacetophenone moieties in main chain and thermally cross-linkable periphery oxime groups, and application as antimicrobial coating in biomedical applications. The post-polymerization conversion from oxime into iminium groups was observed by heating scan, with exothermic peaks being at 194 to 247°C. Various degradation models including the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (F-W-O), Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (K-A-S), Tang (T) and Friedman (F) methods were employed to check the thermal stability of self-assembly by computing apparent activation energy. It has also exhibited strong biocidal properties against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and fungi until the macrochain retains some positive charge. The obtained results prove that the structure of links, which combine the hydrophobic pyridine rings with the hydrophilic iminium groups, is responsible for the high biocidal activity of the resin system.     

Novel Azobenzene-Functionalized Polyelectrolytes of Different Substituted Head Groups 2: Control of Surface Wetting in Self-Assembled Multilayer Films

A novel set of light-responsive polyelectrolytes has been developed and studied, to control and tune surface wettability by introducing various types of substituted R head-groups of azo polyelectrolytes in self-assembled multilayer (SAMU) films. As part of a larger project to develop polymer surfaces where one can exert precise control over properties important to proteins and cells in contact, photo-reversibly, we describe here how one can tune quite reliably the contact angle of a biocompatible SAMU, containing a photo-reversible azo chromophore for eventual directed cell growth. The azo polyelectrolytes described here have different substituted R head-group pairs of shorter-ionized hydrophilic COOH and SO₃H, shorter non-ionized hydrophobic H and OC₂H₅, and larger non-ionized hydrophobic octyl C₈H₁₇ and C₈F₁₇, and were employed as polyanions to fabricate the SAMU onto silicon substrates by using the counter-charge polycation PDAC. The prepared SAMU films were primarily characterized by measurement of their contact angles with water. The surface wetting properties of the thin films were found to be dependent on the type of substituted R-groups of the azo polyelectrolytes through their degree of ionization, size, hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, solubility, conformation, and inter-polymeric association and intra-polymeric aggregation. All these factors appeared to be inter-related, and influenced variations in hydrophobic/hydrophilic character to different extents of aggregates/non-aggregates in solution because of solvation effects of the azo polyanions, and were thus manifested when adsorbed as thin films via the SAMU deposition process. For example, one interesting observation is significantly higher contact angles of 79° for SAMU films of larger octyl R groups of PAPEA-C₈F₁₇ and PAPEA-C₈H₁₇ than for others with contact angles of 64° observed for non-polar R-groups of OC₂H₅ and H. Furthermore, lower contact angle values of 59° for SAMU films with polar R-groups of COOH and SO₃H relative to that of non-polar R-groups are in accordance with their expected order of the hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity. It is possible that the large octyl groups are more effective in shielding the ionic functional groups on the substrate surface, and contributed less to the water drop-molecule interactions with ionic groups of the PDAC and/or AA groups. In addition, higher hydrophobicity of the SAMU films may be due to the incorporation of bulky and hydrophobic groups in these polyelectrolytes, which can produce aggregates on the surfaces of the SAMU films. Through understanding and controlling the complex aggregation behavior of the different substituted R-groups of these azo polyelectrolytes, and hence their adsorption on substrates, it appears possible to finely tune the surface energy of these biocompatible films over a wide range, enhance the photo-switching capabilities of the SAMU films, and tailor other surface properties for the development and application of new devices in diverse areas of microfluidics, specialty coatings, sensors, and biomedical sciences.     

Encapsulation and Enhanced Luminescence Properties of IrIII Complexes within a Hexameric Self‐Assembled Capsule

Encapsulation and luminescence studies of [Ir(ppy)₂(bpy)]Cl (ppy=2‐phenylpyridinate, bpy=2,2′‐bipyridine) within a hexameric resorcinarene capsule are reported. One Ir^III complex cation was encapsulated within the capsule, as demonstrated by NMR and dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies. The emission color of the Ir^III complex was drastically changed from orange to yellow by encapsulation, in contrast with the lack of significant changes in the absorption spectrum. The hexameric capsule effectively hampers the non‐radiative pathway to increase both the luminescence quantum yield and the exited state lifetime. The luminescent properties of the encapsulated Ir^III complex depend on the ratio of Ir^III complex to the resorcinarene monomer as well as the concentration of resorcinarene monomer owing to the reversible process of self‐assembly of the hexameric capsule. Quenching experiments revealed that the Ir^III complex in the capsule was effectively separated from quenchers.     

Improvement charge injection in P-type polymer field-effect transistors with low-cost molybdenum electrodes through dodecanoic acid self assembled monolayer

Most of the merit of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) is that they can be manufactured using cost effective processes. However, expensive gold (Au) electrodes have usually been used as a source/drain (S/D), due to their benign energy level matching, high air stability, and easy patternability. In this article, we report a simple method for improving the charge injection from a low cost molybdenum (Mo) electrode to organic semiconductors in OTFTs by incorporating a dodecanoic acid (DA)–based self-assembled monolayer (SAM). The OTFT performance is remarkably improved when compared to the devices with a pristine Au electrode. The hole carrier mobilities (hole μ_FET) were ～0.13 (rr-P3HT), ～0.55 (PC12TV12T) and ～0.72 (P2100) cm²/V·sec.     

Molecular Recognition of Aromatic Nitro Compounds at Cyclodextrin Dithiocarbamate-modified Electrodes

Silver electrodes were modified by the adsorption of α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrin dithiocarbamates (2α–γ) and characterized by reductive desorption experiments. Their molecular recognition properties were studied by cyclic voltammetry using three families of positional isomers of aromatic nitro compounds. Electrodes modified with 2α and 2β were selective for meta and para isomers while 2γ showed little selectivity. These observations are explained in terms of cavity sizes and guest structure. Computational studies suggest that the main reason for the observed selectivity is the different position of the NO² group in ortho and para isomers with respect to the CD cavity.
