251. On stereocomplexed polylactide materials as support for PAMAM dendrimers: Synthesis and properties

Abstract: Stereocomplexed polylactide materials functionalized with poly(amido-amine) (PAMAM) dendrimer units were prepared by solution blending dendritic poly(D-lactide) (PDLA) star oligomers into a commercial poly(L-lactide) (PLLA), where the dendritic PDLA star oligomers were built up by ring-opening polymerization of D-lactide using a PAMAM dendrimer as macroinitiator. Whereas the synthesized poly(D-lactide)s (whose star-like architecture, comprising the PAMAM dendrimer as the core and a multi-arm PDLA shell, was demonstrated by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy) were observed to hardly structure/crystallize, their blended films, as revealed by DSC and WAXD measurements, proved capable of easy stereocomplexation in solution and melt crystallization alike. The stereocomplex, whose content and characteristics are greatly affected by the structure of the PDLA stars, affords improved thermal and chemical resistance, while simultaneously providing a strong link for the PAMAM units to the polymer matrix. The PAMAM dendrimers can thus manifest themselves, while being anchored onto a water/(solvent) insoluble, easy-processable polymeric support, which, in addition, is bio-based and bio-degradable and keeps the characteristics of biocompatibility. Indeed, thanks to the presence of the PAMAM functionalities, and unlike the neat polylactide, the resulting materials were shown to possess significant water-absorbency and Pd(II)-uptake-ability. This latter property was exploited for the removal of Pd catalyst from a homogeneous reaction system.

252. Multilayer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-dexamethasone and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-polystyrene sulfonate-carbon nanotubes coatings on glassy carbon microelectrode arrays for controlled drug release

Abstract: The authors present an electrochemically controlled, drug releasing neural interface composed of a glassy carbon (GC) microelectrode array combined with a multilayer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) coating. The system integrates the high stability of the GC electrode substrate, ideal for electrical stimulation and electrochemical detection of neurotransmitters, with the on-demand drug-releasing capabilities of PEDOT-dexamethasone compound, through a mechanically stable interlayer of PEDOT-polystyrene sulfonate (PSS)-carbon nanotubes (CNT). The authors demonstrate that such interlayer improves both the mechanical and electrochemical properties of the neural interface, when compared with a single PEDOT-dexamethasone coating. Moreover, the multilayer coating is able to withstand 10 × 106 biphasic pulses and delamination test with negligible change to the impedance spectra. Cross-section scanning electron microscopy images support that the PEDOT-PSS-CNT interlayer significantly improves the adhesion between the GC substrate and PEDOT-dexamethasone coating, showing no discontinuities between the three well-interconnected layers. Furthermore, the multilayer coating has superior electrochemical properties, in terms of impedance and charge transfer capabilities as compared to a single layer of either PEDOT coating or the GC substrate alone. The authors verified the drug releasing capabilities of the PEDOT-dexamethasone layer when integrated into the multilayer interface through repeated stimulation protocols in vitro, and found a pharmacologically relevant release of dexamethasone.

Abstract: LiFePO4 has been intensively investigated as a cathode material in Li-ion batteries, as it can in principle enable the development of high power electrodes. LiFePO4, on the other hand, is inherently “plagued” by poor electronic and ionic conductivity. While the problems with low electron conductivity are partially solved by carbon coating and further by doping or by downsizing the active particles to nanoscale dimensions, poor ionic conductivity is still an issue. To develop colloidally synthesized LiFePO4 nanocrystals (NCs) optimized for high rate applications, we propose here a surface treatment of the NCs. The particles as delivered from the synthesis have a surface passivated with long chain organic surfactants, and therefore can be dispersed only in aprotic solvents such as chloroform or toluene. Glucose that is commonly used as carbon source for carbon-coating procedure is not soluble in these solvents, but it can be dissolved in water. In order to make the NCs hydrophilic, we treated them with lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), which removes the surfactant ligand shell while preserving the structural and morphological properties of the NCs. Only a roughening of the edges of NCs was observed due to a partial etching of their surface. Electrodes prepared from these platelet NCs (after carbon coating) delivered a capacity of ∼155 mAh/g, ∼135 mAh/g, and ∼125 mAh/g, at 1 C, 5 C, and 10 C, respectively, with significant capacity retention and remarkable rate capability. For example, at 61 C (10.3 A/g), a capacity of ∼70 mAh/g was obtained, and at 122 C (20.7 A/g), the capacity was ∼30 mAh/g. The rate capability and the ease of scalability in the preparation of these surface-treated nanoplatelets make them highly suitable as electrodes in Li-ion batteries., Nano Letters, 14 (12), ISSN:1530-6984, ISSN:1530-6992

254. The impact of the crystallization processes on the structural and optical properties of hybrid perovskite films for photovoltaics

Abstract: We investigate the relationship between structural and optical properties of organo-lead mixed halide perovskite films as a function of the crystallization mechanism. For methylammonium lead tri-iodide, the organic cations rearrange within the inorganic cage, moving from crystals grown in a mesoporous scaffold to larger, oriented crystals grown on a flat substrate. This reduces the strain felt by the bonds forming the cage and affects the motion of the organic cation in it, influencing the electronic transition at the onset of the optical absorption spectrum of the semiconductor. Moreover, we demonstrate that in mixed-halide perovskite, though Cl(-) ions are not present in a detectable concentration in the unit cell, they drive the crystallization dynamics. This induces a preferential order during crystallization, from a molecular, i.e., organic-inorganic moieties arrangement, to a nano-mesoscopic level, i.e., larger crystals with anisotropic shape. Finally, we show that while Cl is mainly expelled from flat films made of large crystals, in the presence of an oxide mesoporous scaffold they are partially retained in the composite.

Abstract: We have studied the vapor-phase deposition of L-cysteine on the Au(110) surface by means of synchrotron-based techniques. Relying on a comparison with previous X-ray photoemission analysis, we have assigned the fine structure of the C K-shell X-ray absorption spectra to the nonequivalent carbon bonds within the molecule. In particular, the C1s --sigma* transition, where the sigma* state is mainly localized on the C-S bond, is shifted well below the ionization threshold, at approximately -5 eV from the characteristic pi* transition line related to carboxylic group. From the polarization dependence of the absorption spectra in the monolayer coverage range, the molecules are found to lay flat on the surface with both the C-S bond and the carboxylic group almost parallel to the surface. We performed in situ complementary surface X-ray diffraction, SXRD, measurements to probe the rearrangement of the Au atoms beneath the L-cysteine molecules. Since the early stage of deposition, L-cysteine domains are formed which display an intermediate fourfold symmetry along [001]. The self-assembly of molecules into paired rows, extending along the [1(-)10] direction, is fully compatible with our observations, as has been reported for the case of D-cysteine molecules grown on Au(110) [Kühnle, A. et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 2004, 93, 086101.]

Abstract: In this work, a novel approach for the functionalization of electrospun stereocomplex polylactide (sc-PLA)-based fibers, prepared from solutions containing equimolar amount of high-molecular-weight poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(d-lactide) (PDLA), was developed. The method, which consists in introducing functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) into the electrospinning solutions, was carried out by employing as a solvent system a 2:1 mixture of chloroform (CHCl3) and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP), never applied in the production of sc-PLA fibers, which was found to promote POSS solubilization while simultaneously allowing to obtain an excellent fiber homogeneity. Indeed, the specific effect of the single components of the solvent mixture, CHCl3 and HFIP, on fiber structuring and morphology was evaluated. Conversely to the fiber morphology, which turned out to be significantly affected by the chosen electrospinning solvent, the PLA stereocomplexation, occurring upon subsequent...

Abstract: Platelet-shaped copper sulfide nanocrystals (NCs) with tunable Cu stoichiometry were prepared from Cu-rich covellite (Cu1.1S) nanoplates through their reaction with a Cu(I) complex ([Cu(CH3CN)(4)]PF6) at room temperature. Starting from a common sample, by this approach it is possible to access a range of compositions in these NCs, varying from Cu1.1S up to Cu2S, each characterized by a different optical response: from the metallic covellite, with a high density of free carriers and strong localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), up to Cu2S NCs with no LSPR. In all these NCs the valency of Cu in the lattice stays always close to +1, while the average -1 valency of S in covellite gradually evolves to -2 with increasing Cu content; i.e., sulfur is progressively reduced. The addition of copper to the starting covellite NCs is similar to the intercalation of metal species in layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs); i.e., the chalcogen-chalcogen bonds holding the layers are progressively broken to make room for the intercalated metals, while their overall anion sublattice does not change much. However, differently from the TMDCs, the intercalation in covellite NCs is sustained by a change in the redox state of the anion framework. Furthermore, the amount of Cu incorporated in the NCs upon reaction is associated with the formation of an equimolar amount of Cu(II) species in solution. Therefore, the reaction scheme can be written as: Cu1.1S + 2 gamma Cu(I) -> Cu1.1+gamma S + gamma Cu(II).

Abstract: In this work, a novel catalytic system is developed, consisting of palladium nanoclusters homogenously dispersed on the surface of nanostructured polymer nanofibers based on poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS). Indeed, PLLA nanofibers containing amino-functionalized silsesquioxane molecules (POSS-NH2), potentially capable of interacting with the metal precursor, are prepared by means of electrospinning. Conversely to the polymer matrix, which does not show any tendency to retain the metal precursor, the submicrometric dispersion of POSS-NH2 in the PLLA nanofibers, as demonstrated by SEM-EDS analysis, turns out to promote the formation of metal nanoclusters. TEM measurements show a uniform distribution of Pd nanoparticles, characterized by an average dimension of ca. 4 nm, along the fibers. The prepared system proves a relevant catalytic activity toward the hydrogenation of stilbene under heterogeneous conditions. Moreover, as demonstrated by XPS measurements, the support is capable of retaining the catalyst during the hydrogenation reaction, thus preventing its leaching.

Abstract: We present the synthesis of novel disk-shaped hexagonal Cu2Te nanocrystals with a well-defined stoichiometric composition and tunable diameter and thickness. Subsequent cation exchange of Cu to Cd at high temperature (180 C) results in highly fluorescent CdTe nanocrystals, with less than 1 mol % of residual Cu remaining in the lattice. The procedure preserves the overall disk shape, but is accompanied by a substantial reconstruction of the anion sublattice, resulting in a reorientation of the c-axis from the surface normal in Cu2Te into the disk plane in CdTe nanodisks. The synthesized CdTe nanodisks show a continuously tunable photoluminescence (PL) peak position, scaling with the thickness of the disks. The PL lifetime further confirms that the CdTe PL arises from band-edge exciton recombination; that is, no Cu-related emission is observed. On average, the recombination rate is about 25-45% faster with respect to their spherical quantum dots counterparts, opening up the possibility to enhance the emission rate at a given wavelength by controlling the nanocrystal shape. Finally, with a PL quantum efficiency of up to 36% and an enhanced PL stability under ambient conditions due to a monolayer of CdS formed on the nanocrystal surface during cation exchange, these flat quantum disks form an interesting enrichment to the current family of highly fluorescent, shape-controlled nanocrystals. © 2013 American Chemical Society.

Abstract: We report a facile colloidal route to prepare octahedral-shaped cuprite (Cu2O) nanocrystals (NCs) of ∼40 nm in size that exploits a new reduction pathway, i.e., the controlled reduction of a cupric ion by acetylacetonate directly to cuprite. Detailed structural, morphological, and chemical analyses were carried on the cuprite NCs. We also tested their electrochemical lithiation, using a combination of techniques (cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic, and impedance spectroscopy), in view of their potential application as anodes for Li ion batteries. Along with these characterizations, the morphological, structural, and chemical analyses (via high-resolution electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) of the cycled Cu2O NCs (in the lithiated stage, after ∼50 cycles) demonstrate their partial conversion upon cycling. At this stage, most of the NCs had lost their octahedral shape and had evolved into multidomain particles and were eventually fragmented. Overall, the shape changes (upon cycling) did not appear to be concerted for all the NCs in the sample, suggesting that different subsets of NCs were characterized by different lithiation kinetics. We emphasize that a profound understanding of the lithiation reaction with NCs defined by a specific crystal habit is still essential to optimize nanoscale conversion reactions.

Abstract: This paper presents results of an all-sky searches for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range [50, 1190] Hz and with frequency derivative ranges of [-2 x 10^-9, 1.1 x 10^-10] Hz/s for the fifth LIGO science run (S5). The novelty of the search lies in the use of a non-coherent technique based on the Hough-transform to combine the information from coherent searches on timescales of about one day. Because these searches are very computationally intensive, they have been deployed on the Einstein@Home distributed computing project infrastructure. The search presented here is about a factor 3 more sensitive than the previous Einstein@Home search in early S5 LIGO data. The post-processing has left us with eight surviving candidates. We show that deeper follow-up studies rule each of them out. Hence, since no statistically significant gravitational wave signals have been detected, we report upper limits on the intrinsic gravitational wave amplitude h0. For example, in the 0.5 Hz-wide band at 152.5 Hz, we can exclude the presence of signals with h0 greater than 7.6 x 10^-25 with a 90% confidence level., 29 pages, 14 figures, 6 tables.

Abstract: Colloidal nanocrystal films of different materials (semiconductors, metals) and shapes (spheres and rods) were dipped in solutions of propyltrichlorosilane (PTCS) in acetonitrile. This process removed most of the surfactants covering the surface of the tested nanocrystals, leaving their surface either unpassivated or passivated with chlorine atoms, depending on their composition. PTCS was reactive toward most of the surfactants used in nanocrystal synthesis and therefore such a procedure could be applied to a large variety of materials. All samples were characterized with FTIR, XRD, and XPS measurements. In nanocrystal films, the reduction of the separation between the nanocrystals resulting from the removal of surfactants led to an enhancement in both dark and photocurrent. The surface of Au nanocrystals is left unpassivated by the reaction with PTCS, which makes the process potentially useful for applications in catalysis and plasmonics. © 2013 American Chemical Society.

265. CO oxidation on colloidal Au(0.80)Pd(0.20)-Fe(x)O(y) dumbbell nanocrystals

Abstract: We report a colloidal synthesis of Au(0.80)Pd(0.20)-Fe(x)O(y) dumbbell nanocrystals (NCs) derived from Au(0.75)Pd(0.25) NCs by metal oxide overgrowth. We compared the catalytic activity of the two types of NCs in the CO oxidation reaction (CO + 1/2O(2) → CO(2)), after they had been dispersed on an alumina nanopowder support. In both cases, the surface active sites were identified by means of in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). The enhanced catalytic performance of the dumbbell NCs (Au(0.80)Pd(0.20)-Fe(x)O(y)) catalyst over that of the initial Au(0.75)Pd(0.25) NCs could be correlated to the presence of the epitaxial connection between the Fe(x)O(y) and the Au(0.80)Pd(0.20) domains (as the main factor). Such connection should result in an electron flow from the metal oxide (Fe(x)O(y)) domain to the noble metal (Au(0.80)Pd(0.20)) domain and appears to influence favorably the nature and composition of the catalytically active surface sites of the dumbbells. Our experiments indicate indeed that, when the metal alloy domain is attached to the metal oxide domain (that is, in the dumbbell), surface Pd species are more active than in the case of the initial Au(0.75)Pd(0.25) NCs and also Au(δ-) sites are formed that were not present on the initial Au(0.75)Pd(0.25) NCs.

Abstract: Compact binary systems with neutron stars or black holes are one of the most promising sources for ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational radiation encodes rich information about source physics; thus parameter estimation and model selection are crucial analysis steps for any detection candidate events. Detailed models of the anticipated waveforms enable inference on several parameters, such as component masses, spins, sky location and distance that are essential for new astrophysical studies of these sources. However, accurate measurements of these parameters and discrimination of models describing the underlying physics are complicated by artifacts in the data, uncertainties in the waveform models and in the calibration of the detectors. Here we report such measurements on a selection of simulated signals added either in hardware or software to the data collected by the two LIGO instruments and the Virgo detector during their most recent joint science run, including a "blind injection" where the signal was not initially revealed to the collaboration. We exemplify the ability to extract information about the source physics on signals that cover the neutron star and black hole parameter space over the individual mass range 1 Msun - 25 Msun and the full range of spin parameters. The cases reported in this study provide a snap-shot of the status of parameter estimation in preparation for the operation of advanced detectors., Comment: 23 pages, 18 figures.

267. CuInxGa1-xS2 nanocrystals with tunable composition and band gap synthesized via a phosphine-free and scalable procedure

Abstract: We report a phosphine-free colloidal synthesis of CuInxGa 1-xS2 (CIGS) nanocrystals (NCs) by heating a mixture of metal salts, elemental sulfur, octadecene, and oleylamine. In contrast with the more commonly used hot injection, this procedure is highly suitable for large-scale NC production, which we tested by performing a gram-scale synthesis. The composition of the CIGS NCs could be tuned by varying the In and Ga precursor ratios, and the samples showed a composition-dependent band gap energy. The average particle size was scaled from 13 to 19 nm by increasing the reaction temperature from 230 to 270 C. Two concomitant growth mechanisms took place: in one, covellite (CuS) NCs nucleated already at room temperature and then incorporated increasing amounts of In and Ga until they evolved into chalcopyrite CIGS NCs. In the second mechanism, CIGS NCs directly nucleated at intermediate temperatures. They were smaller than the NCs formed by the first mechanism, but richer in In and Ga. In the final sample, obtained by prolonged heating at 230-270 C, all NCs were homogeneous in size and composition. Attempts to replace the native ligands on the surface of the NCs with sulfur ions (following literature procedures) resulted in only around 50% exchange. Films prepared using the partially ligand exchanged NCs exhibited good homogeneity and an ohmic dark conductivity and photoconductivity with a resistivity of about 50 Ω·cm. © 2013 American Chemical Society.

268. Few-Layer MoS2Flakes as Active Buffer Layer for Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Abstract: Solution-processed few-layer MoS2 flakes are exploited as an active buffer layer in hybrid lead–halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Glass/FTO/compact-TiO2/mesoporous-TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3/MoS2/Spiro-OMeTAD/Au solar cells are realized with the MoS2 flakes having a twofold function, acting both as a protective layer, by preventing the formation of shunt contacts between the perovskite and the Au electrode, and as a hole transport layer from the perovskite to the Spiro-OMeTAD. As prepared PSC demonstrates a power conversion efficiency (η) of 13.3%, along with a higher lifetime stability over 550 h with respect to reference PSC without MoS2 (Δη/η = −7% vs. Δη/η = −34%). Large-area PSCs (1.05 cm2 active area) are also fabricated to demonstrate the scalability of this approach, achieving η of 11.5%. Our results pave the way toward the implementation of MoS2 as a material able to boost the shelf life of large-area perovskite solar cells in view of their commercialization.

269. Highly Effective Antiadhesive Coatings from pH-Modified Water-Dispersed Perfluorinated Acrylic Copolymers: The Case of Vulcanizing Rubber

Abstract: A pH-based method to tune the tribological and wetting properties of a coating obtained from water-dispersed perfluorinated acrylic copolymer is demonstrated. The surface-exposed fluorinated chains and chemical charges of the sprayed coatings can be controlled simply by tuning the pH of the initial water dispersion. The surface properties of the sprayed polymeric coatings remain unmodified when the pH of the water dispersion is reduced (addition of HCl). On the contrary, from dispersions with increased pH (addition of NaOH) a fluoroacrylic polyelectrolyte polymer is formed and clear variations in wetting and tribological properties of the polymeric coatings are observed. Interestingly, coatings' surface adhesion to vulcanizing rubber can be strongly reduced when the pH of the dispersions is in the range 4.5–6.0, which corresponds to a specific ratio between fluorinated chains and chemical charges. Consequently, such coatings can be proposed as low-cost and easy-to-apply alternatives to aqueous release agents for the rubber tires demolding processes, thus having significant implications for the automotive tire industry.

Abstract: The novelty and potential of self-assembled superstructures reside not only in the more commonly investigated optical, magnetic and charge transport properties, but also in their mechanical behaviour, which is strictly dependent on their structural morphology. We report here nanocompression tests on highly porous, geometrically interlocked superstructures fabricated by self-assembly of colloidal CdSe/CdS octapod shaped nanocrystals. We show that, despite being formed via weak van der Waals forces, these superstructures present an elastic response similar to that of porous materials and indeed were found to be modelled fittingly by classical open-cell models. The simple model based on the relative density of the superstructures holds also when the chemical composition of the superstructures is modified by processes such as cation exchange of Cd(2+) with Cu(+) and oxygen plasma treatment.

Abstract: The advanced interferometer network will herald a new era in observational astronomy. There is a very strong science case to go beyond the advanced detector network and build detectors that operate in a frequency range from 1 Hz-10 kHz, with sensitivity a factor ten better in amplitude. Such detectors will be able to probe a range of topics in nuclear physics, astronomy, cosmology and fundamental physics, providing insights into many unsolved problems in these areas., 18 pages, 4 figures, Plenary talk given at Amaldi Meeting, July 2011

Abstract: Aims. The detection and measurement of gravitational-waves from coalescing neutron-star binary systems is an important science goal for ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. In addition to emitting gravitational-waves at frequencies that span the most sensitive bands of the LIGO and Virgo detectors, these sources are also amongst the most likely to produce an electromagnetic counterpart to the gravitational-wave emission. A joint detection of the gravitational-wave and electromagnetic signals would provide a powerful new probe for astronomy. Methods. During the period between September 19 and October 20, 2010, the first low-latency search for gravitational-waves from binary inspirals in LIGO and Virgo data was conducted. The resulting triggers were sent to electromagnetic observatories for followup. We describe the generation and processing of the low-latency gravitational-wave triggers. The results of the electromagnetic image analysis will be described elsewhere. Results. Over the course of the science run, three gravitational-wave triggers passed all of the low-latency selection cuts. Of these, one was followed up by several of our observational partners. Analysis of the gravitational-wave data leads to an estimated false alarm rate of once every 6.4 days, falling far short of the requirement for a detection based solely on gravitational-wave data., Comment: 13 pages, 13 figures.

Abstract: The Virgo gravitational wave detector is an interferometer (ITF) with 3km arms located in Pisa, Italy. From July to October 2010, Virgo performed its third science run (VSR3) in coincidence with the LIGO detectors. Despite several techniques adopted to isolate the interferometer from the environment, seismic noise remains an important issue for Virgo. Vibrations produced by the detector infrastructure (such as air conditioning units, water chillers/heaters, pumps) are found to affect Virgo's sensitivity, with the main coupling mechanisms being through beam jitter and scattered light processes. The Advanced Virgo (AdV) design seeks to reduce ITF couplings to environmental noise by having most vibration-sensitive components suspended and in-vacuum, as well as muffle and relocate loud machines. During the months of June and July 2010, a Guralp-3TD seismometer was stationed at various locations around the Virgo site hosting major infrastructure machines. Seismic data were examined using spectral and coherence analysis with seismic probes close to the detector. The primary aim of this study was to identify noisy machines which seismically affect the ITF environment and thus require mitigation attention. Analyzed machines are located at various distances from the experimental halls, ranging from 10m to 100m. An attempt is made to measure the attenuation of emitted noise at the ITF and correlate it to the distance from the source and to seismic attenuation models in soil., 12 pages, 7 figures, Gravitational-wave Physics and Astronomy Workshop

277. Organic Functionalization of Solution-Phase Exfoliated Graphene

Author: Carla Bittencourt, Mirko Prato, and Mildred Quintana
Subjects: Colloid, Materials science, Graphene, law, New materials, Surface modification, Nanotechnology, Graphite, Dispersion (chemistry), Exfoliation joint, Solution phase, law.invention
Abstract: Graphene has received increasing attention due to its unique physicochemical properties. The ability to control the size and dispersion of graphene sheets in a variety of organic solvents and water is probably the most essential technological challenge in the future of this exciting material. In this work we describe the recent efforts on the chemical functionalization of graphene produced by solution-phase exfoliation of pristine graphite. This approach could lead to new materials with well-defined properties and to the production of graphene in large-scale quantities.

278. Mercury Segregation and Diselenide Self-Assembly on Gold

Author: Makri Nimbegondi Kotresh Harish, R. Parodi, Srinivasan Sampath, Chiara Toccafondi, Maurizio Canepa, Mirko Prato, Vijay Chaudhari, Vladimir A. Esaulov, and Giulia Maidecchi
Subjects: Chemistry, Inorganic chemistry, Analytical chemistry, chemistry.chemical_element, Infrared spectroscopy, Surfaces, Coatings and Films, Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials, Mercury (element), Absorbance, Diselenide, General Energy, Adsorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Cyclic voltammetry, Voltammetry
Abstract: We have investigated the self-assembly of didecyldiselenide on gold containing mercury using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and infrared spectroscopy. The analysis of intensity and chemical shift of selected Se, Hg, and Au photoelectron lines on samples with increasing Hg content, show that didecyldiselenide adsorption strongly contributed to segregation of bulk Hg to the surface. The voltammetry results support this conclusion and suggest the formation of Hg–Au surface amalgam. The Hg surface segregation effect must be related to the restructuring of the surface following initial adsorption, and to the strong selenophilicity of Hg. The reflectance absorbance infrared spectroscopy studies show that the molecular layer on Hg–Au substrates lacks good order.

Abstract: We investigated the interaction of the HOPG surface with aqueous solutions of different bio-organic molecules. Upon interaction with the solution, we observe the formation of extended nanopatterned domains on the HOPG surface. The domains, consisting of parallel rows, are oriented according to a three-fold symmetry and are characterized by the same row periodicity, irrespectively of the specific molecules under investigation. The interpretation of the nanopattern in terms of a restructuring of the graphite topmost layer following the interaction with the molecular solution is discussed.

Abstract: A novel nanomaterial that consists of graphene sheets decorated with silsesquioxane molecules has been developed. Aminopropyl-silsesquioxane (POSS-NH2) has been employed to functionalize graphene oxide (GO) sheets. The surface grafting of the GO sheets with POSS-NH2 was established by IR spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the morphology was investigated by field-emission electron microscopy as well as by atomic force microscopy. The combination of amino-functionalized POSS molecules with GO sheets produces a hybrid silicon/graphite-based nanomaterial, named GRAPOSS. When exposed to visible light the hybrid showed a photoconductivity response.

Abstract: We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries using LIGO and Virgo observations between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010. We searched for signals from binaries with total mass between 2 and 25 solar masses; this includes binary neutron stars, binary black holes, and binaries consisting of a black hole and neutron star. The detectors were sensitive to systems up to 40 Mpc distant for binary neutron stars, and further for higher mass systems. No gravitational-wave signals were detected. We report upper limits on the rate of compact binary coalescence as a function of total mass, including the results from previous LIGO and Virgo observations. The cumulative 90%-confidence rate upper limits of the binary coalescence of binary neutron star, neutron star- black hole and binary black hole systems are 1.3 x 10^{-4}, 3.1 x 10^{-5} and 6.4 x 10^{-6} Mpc^{-3}yr^{-1}, respectively. These upper limits are up to a factor 1.4 lower than previously derived limits. We also report on results from a blind injection challenge., Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures.

Abstract: We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 50-800 Hz and with the frequency time derivative in the range of 0 through -6e-9 Hz/s. Such a signal could be produced by a nearby spinning and slightly non-axisymmetric isolated neutron star in our galaxy. After recent improvements in the search program that yielded a 10x increase in computational efficiency, we have searched in two years of data collected during LIGO's fifth science run and have obtained the most sensitive all-sky upper limits on gravitational wave strain to date. Near 150 Hz our upper limit on worst-case linearly polarized strain amplitude $h_0$ is 1e-24, while at the high end of our frequency range we achieve a worst-case upper limit of 3.8e-24 for all polarizations and sky locations. These results constitute a factor of two improvement upon previously published data. A new detection pipeline utilizing a Loosely Coherent algorithm was able to follow up weaker outliers, increasing the volume of space where signals can be detected by a factor of 10, but has not revealed any gravitational wave signals. The pipeline has been tested for robustness with respect to deviations from the model of an isolated neutron star, such as caused by a low-mass or long-period binary companion., 18 pages

Abstract: Amyloid-like fibrils have been obtained upon incubation of a diluted aqueous solution of cytochrome c at neutral pH in the presence of gold nanoparticles. The interaction of the cytochrome c suspension, containing proteins in both the monomeric and fibrillar state, with the freshly cleaved highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface results in a double process. First, it leads to a nanopatterning of the HOPG surface and, second, it promotes the self-aligning of cytochrome c protofilaments on the nanopatterned HOPG surface.

Abstract: This paper presents a complete description of Virgo, the French-Italian gravitational wave detector. The detector, built at Cascina, near Pisa (Italy), is a very large Michelson interferometer, with 3 km-long arms. In this paper, following a presentation of the physics requirements, leading to the specifications for the construction of the detector, a detailed description of all its different elements is given. These include civil engineering infrastructures, a huge ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chamber (about 6000 cubic metres), all of the optical components, including high quality mirrors and their seismic isolating suspensions, all of the electronics required to control the interferometer and for signal detection. The expected performances of these different elements are given, leading to an overall sensitivity curve as a function of the incoming gravitational wave frequency. This description represents the detector as built and used in the first data-taking runs. Improvements in different parts have been and continue to be performed, leading to better sensitivities. These will be detailed in a forthcoming paper. © 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd and Sissa Medialab srl.

Abstract: We report a high-yield, low cost synthesis route to colloidal Cu1-xInS2 nanocrystals with a tunable amount of Cu vacancies in the crystal lattice. These are then converted into quaternary Cu-In-Zn-S (CIZS)nanocrystals by partial exchange of Cu+ and In3+ cations with Zn2+ cations. The photoluminescence quantum yield of these CIZS nanocrystals could be tuned up to a record 80\%, depending on the amount of copper vacancies.

Abstract: Long baseline optical interferometry is a promising technique for the detection of gravitational waves [1], [2], [3], [4]. The French-Italian detector Virgo is a Michelson interferometer with 3 km arms, equipped with high storage time Fabry-Perot cavities. In this kind of detectors, the passage of gravitational waves would be sensed as a differential length variation of the arms. After the end of the second Virgo Science Run, lasting from July 2009 to the beginning of January 2010, some important upgrades have been carried out; in particular, the mirrors of the Fabry-Perot cavities, which act as test masses of the detector, have been replaced by new ones with an higher reflectivity, which should increase by three times the finesse of the cavities; moreover the mirrors are now suspended by silica fibers in a monolithic assembly expected to significantly lower the thermal noise. Finally, the digital signal processing electronics and the global control system have been largely improved. We will present the status of the commissioning of the Virgo interferometer.

287. Optical properties of Yeast Cytochrome c monolayer on gold: an in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry investigation

Abstract: The adsorption of Yeast Cytochrome c (YCC) on well defined, flat gold substrates has been studied by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (SE) in the 245–1000 nm wavelength range. The investigation has been performed in aqueous ambient at room temperature, focusing on monolayer-thick films. In situ δΨ and δΔ difference spectra have shown reproducibly well-defined features related to molecular optical absorptions typical of the so-called heme group. The data have been reproduced quantitatively by a simple isotropic optical model, accounting for the molecular absorption spectrum and film-substrate interface effects. The simulations allowed a reliable estimate of the film thickness and the determination of the position and the shape of the so-called Soret absorption peak that, within the experimental uncertainty, is the same found for molecules in liquid. These findings suggest that YCC preserves its native structure upon adsorption. The same optical model was able to reproduce also ex situ results on rinsed and dried samples, dominated by the spectral features associated to the polypeptide chain that tend to overwhelm the heme absorption features.

Abstract: In this paper, a novel method for the preparation of surface modified polymer films is proposed, by the vaporization of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) and reaction on the polymer surface. This method was successfully applied to the grafting of an amino-functionalized POSS (POSS-NH2) on poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (PSMA), showing efficient grafting to produce a POSS-rich polymer layer on the vapor-treated surface. The thickness of this layer was found to be controlled by diffusion of POSS, allowing tailoring of the grafted layer thickness with the treatment time. The processing temperature window was found to be defined by the following conditions: (i) high enough to allow significant POSS volatilization, (ii) high enough to allow sufficient polymer chain mobility to react with POSS and (iii) low enough to avoid specimens deformation by polymer flow during the treatment.

Abstract: The gravitational-wave (GW) sky may include nearby pointlike sources as well as astrophysical and cosmological stochastic backgrounds. Since the relative strength and angular distribution of the many possible sources of GWs are not well constrained, searches for GW signals must be performed in a model-independent way. To that end we perform two directional searches for persistent GWs using data from the LIGO S5 science run: one optimized for pointlike sources and one for arbitrary extended sources. The latter result is the first of its kind. Finding no evidence to support the detection of GWs, we present 90% confidence level (CL) upper-limit maps of GW strain power with typical values between 2-20x10^-50 strain^2 Hz^-1 and 5-35x10^-49 strain^2 Hz^-1 sr^-1 for pointlike and extended sources respectively. The limits on pointlike sources constitute a factor of 30 improvement over the previous best limits. We also set 90% CL limits on the narrow-band root-mean-square GW strain from interesting targets including Sco X-1, SN1987A and the Galactic Center as low as ~7x10^-25 in the most sensitive frequency range near 160 Hz. These limits are the most constraining to date and constitute a factor of 5 improvement over the previous best limits., 10 pages, 4 figures

Abstract: International audience; ET: a 3 rd generation GW observatory 2 10 Abstract. Advanced gravitational wave interferometers, currently under realization, will soon permit the detection of gravitational waves from astronomical sources. To open the era of precision gravitational-wave astronomy, a further substantial improvement in sensitivity is required. The future space-based Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and the third-generation ground-based observatory Einstein Telescope (ET) promise to achieve the required sensitivity improvements in frequency ranges. The vastly improved sensitivity of the third generation of gravitational-wave observatories could permit detailed measurements of the sources ' physical parameters and could complement, in a multi-messenger approach, the observation of signals emitted by cosmological sources obtained through other kinds of telescopes. This paper describes the progresses of the ET project which is currently in its design study phase. ET: a 3 rd generation GW observatory 3 PACS numbers: 04.80.Nn Submitted to: Class. Quantum Grav.
