Physical vapour deposition of cyanine salts and their first application in organic electronic devices

Frank Nüesch, Jakob Heier, Antonia Neels, Léo Duchêne, Donatas Gesevicius

A symmetrical trimethine indocyanine dye chromophore was modified with the bistriflylimide anion to study the changes in Coulomb interactions, thermal stability and the volatility of the organic salt. The bulky bistriflylimide anion minimizes electrostatic ...

Two dimensional diffusion-controlled triplet–triplet annihilation kinetics

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Pierre-François Marie Brevet, Grégoire Clément Gschwend, Morgan Kazmierczak

Diffusion controlled chemical reactions are usually observed in three dimensionalmedia. In contrast, planar bimolecular reactions taking place between reagents adsorbed at a soft interface are two-dimensional and therefore cannot be studied within the same ...

Superweak Coordinating Anion as Superstrong Enhancer of Cyanine Organic Semiconductor Properties

Frank Nüesch, Jakob Heier, Antonia Neels, Donatas Gesevicius

The superweak tetrakis(nonafluoro-tert-butoxy)aluminate coordinating anion was employed to introduce pseudo-gas-phase conditions to the 2-[5-(1,3-dihydro-1,3,3-trimethyl-2H-indol-2-ylidene)-1,3-pentadien-1-yl]-1,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium chromophore. The r ...

Nanoplasmonic mid-infrared biosensor for in vitro protein secondary structure detection

Giovanni Dietler, Hilal Lashuel, Hatice Altug, Francesco Simone Ruggeri, Dordaneh Etezadi, John Blaine Warner IV

Plasmonic nanoantennas offer new applications in mid-infrared (mid-IR) absorption spectroscopy with ultrasensitive detection of structural signatures of biomolecules, such as proteins, due to their strong resonant near-fields. The amide I fingerprint of a ...

Fluorinated and Charged Hydrogenated Alkanethiolates Grafted on Gold: Expanding the Diversity of Mixed-Monolayer Nanoparticles for Biological Applications

Francesco Stellacci

Low intrinsic toxicity, high solubility, and stability are important and necessary features of gold nanoparticles to be used in the biomedical field. In this context, charged nanoparticles proved to be very versatile, and among them charged mixed-monolayer ...

Optical label-free and model-free probe of the surface potential of nanoscale and microscopic objects in aqueous solution

Sylvie Roke, Cornelis Ulrich Lütgebaucks

The electrostatic environment of aqueous systems is an essential ingredient for the function of any living system. To understand the electrostatic properties and their molecular foundation in soft, living, and three-dimensional systems, we developed a tabl ...

Hematite photoelectrodes for water splitting: evaluation of the role of film thickness by impedance spectroscopy

Kevin Sivula, Florian Le Formal

The electrochemical behavior of alpha-Fe2O3 photoelectrodes prepared by spray pyrolysis with different thicknesses was examined under dark and illumination conditions. The main charge transport phenomena occurring in the PEC cell photoelectrodes were chara ...

Measurement of the Position-Dependent Electrophoretic Force on DNA in a Glass Nanocapillary

Aleksandra Radenovic, Lorenz Jan Steinbock, Roman Bulushev, Sergey Khlybov

The electrophoretic force on a single DNA molecule inside a glass nanocapillary depends on the opening size and varies with the distance along the symmetrical axis of the nanocapillary. Using optical tweezers and DNA-coated beads, we measured the stalling ...

Diffusion-limited reactions in crowded environments: a local density approximation

Paolo De Los Rios, Nicolas Dorsaz, Giuseppe Foffi, Francesco Piazza

In the real world, diffusion-limited reactions in chemistry and biology mostly occur in crowded environments, such as macromolecular complex formation in the cell. Despite the paramount importance of such phenomena, theoretical approaches still mainly rely ...

Colloidal Stability of Self-Assembled Mono layer-Coated Gold Nanoparticles: The Effects of Surface Compositional and Structural Heterogeneity

Francesco Stellacci, Randy Patrick Carney

Surface heterogeneity plays an important role in controlling colloidal phenomena. This study investigated the self-aggregation and bacterial adsorption of self-assembled monolayer coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with different surface compositional and s ...
