Nanoparticle on mirror plasmonic nanostructure for molecular cavity optomechanics

Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Aqeel Ahmed, Nils Kipfer, Tianqi Zhu

The plasmonic response of gold can be utilized to enhance the incident electromagnetic (EM) field by several orders of magnitude. When a gold nanoparticle is placed in close proximity to a gold film, the incident field can excite a deeply confined plasmon, ...

The Structure of the Cobalt Oxide/Au Catalyst Interface in Electrochemical Water Splitting

Klaus Kern

The catalytic synergy between cobalt oxide and gold leads to strong promotion of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER)one half-reaction of electrochemical water splitting. However, the mechanism behind the enhancement effect is still not understood, in part ...

Gold-catalyzed domino cyclization-alkynylation reactions with EBX reagents: new insights into the reaction mechanism

Jérôme Waser, Paola Caramenti, Yifan Li

Gold-catalyzed domino processes constitute a useful alternative to C-H functionalization for the synthesis of functionalized (hetero)arenes. Herein, we report computational studies on the gold-catalyzed cyclization alkynylation of keto-allenes with ethynyl ...

Recent Advances in the Synthesis and Applications of Multimodal Gold-Iron Nanoparticles

Francesco Stellacci

Bimetallic particles based on gold and iron have been gathering increasing interest in biomedical applications because of the synergic combination of the plasmonic features of the inert gold component with the magnetic properties of the iron or iron oxide ...

The structure and binding mode of citrate in the stabilization of gold nanoparticles

David Lyndon Emsley, Jasmine Viger-Gravel, David Benjamin Roger Antoine Gajan

Elucidating the binding mode of carboxylate-containing ligands to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is crucial to understand their stabilizing role. A detailed picture of the three-dimensional structure and coordination modes of citrate, acetate, succinate and gl ...

Investment-based financing constraints and debt renegotiation

Michi Nishihara

We consider how equity holders' bargaining power during financial distress influences the interactions between financing and investment decisions when the firm faces the upper limit of debt issuance. We obtain four results. First, weaker equity holders' ba ...

Capital supply uncertainty, cash holdings, and investment

Semyon Malamud, Erwan Morellec, Julien Hugonnier

We develop a dynamic model of investment, financing, and cash management decisions in which investment is lumpy and firms face capital supply uncertainty. We characterize optimal policies explicitly, demonstrate that smooth-pasting conditions may not guara ...

Enzyme and Acid Deconjugation of Plasma Sulfated Metanephrines

Sandrine Gerber

Background: Total (i.e. free + sulfated) metanephrines in plasma is a biomarker for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma. Sulfated metanephrines must be completely deconjugated by perchloric acid hydrolysis or sulfatase treatment prior to analyt ...
