Inkjet printed superparamagnetic polymer composite hemispheres with programmed magnetic anisotropy

Jürgen Brugger, Massimo Mastrangeli, Christofer Hierold, Victor Javier Cadarso Busto, Rosario Maurizio Gullo, Loïc Jacot-Descombes, Berna Ayse Özkale Edelmann

We present the fabrication and characterization of large arrays of inkjet-printed superparamagnetic polymer composite (SPMPC) hemispherical microstructures. SPMPCs are appealing for applications in microsystems and nanorobotics due to the added functionali ...

Exciton localization and drift in tailored-potential quantum nanowires

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Justyna Szeszko

Exciton recombination dynamics in tailored-potential, site-controlled AlGaAs quantum wires (QWRs) are studied. Time-resolved photoluminescence spectra evidence exciton localization in weakly disordered "uniform" QWRs, whereas deterministic bandgap grading ...

Size-Dependent Tumor Penetration and in Vivo Efficacy of Monodisperse Drug–Silica Nanoconjugates

Li Tang

The size of a nanomedicine strongly correlates with its biodistribution, tissue penetration, and cell uptake. However, there is limited understanding how the size of nanomedicine impacts the overall antitumor efficacy. We designed and synthesized camptothe ...

A Gadolinium Complex Confined in Silica Nanoparticles as a Highly Efficient T1/T2 MRI Contrast Agent

Marinella Mazzanti

Gd in silica: Noncovalent confinement of a monoaqua Gd chelate into biocompatible silica nanoparticles (NPs; see figure) by a sol-gel method affords a new example of nanosized contrast agents with very high per-Gd relaxivities. Such NPs provide a route to ...
