Ion irradiation to control size, composition and dispersion of metal nanoparticle exsolution by Wang, Jiayue, Woller, Kevin B., Kumar, Abinash, Zhang, Zhan, Zhou, Hua, Waluyo, Iradwikanari, Hunt, Adrian, LeBeau, James M., Yildiz, Bilge

“…Here, we present ion irradiation as a general platform to allow control over these parameters during metal nanoparticle exsolution, by simultaneous sputtering, implantation, and defect generation mechanisms. Using thin-film perovskite and binary oxides as model systems, we showed ion beams can controllably reduce the size of exsolved nanoparticles down to 2 nm through ion sputtering. …”

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals for light-emitting devices : from materials to device perspectives by Shendre, Sushant

“…The results found in this work nudge the direction of future research towards the mitigation of the disadvantages posed by Auger processes in QLED operation. The findings of this thesis indicate that the synthesis of advanced nanocrystals and understanding of their active device operation will enable us to make high-efficiency colloidal devices to compete as an alternative to their thin-film counterparts.…”

Construction of quasi-ordered metal-organic frameworks superstructures via colloidal assembly of anisotropic particles for selective organic vapor sensing by He, Yuheng, Bai, Ling, Liu, Baocang, Duan, Hongwei, Zhang, Jun

“…The dynamic reflection spectral patterns exhibited by these superstructures provide valuable insights into the diffusion rates and surface tension characteristics of the target solvents. These findings underscore the potential of MOFs-based superstructure thin films to discriminate between physiochemically similar solvents, opening new avenues for applications in various fields.…”

Analysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) degradation kinetics of evolved IsPETase variants using a surface crowding model by Zhong-Johnson, En Ze Linda, Dong, Ziyue, Canova, Christopher T, Destro, Francesco, Cañellas, Marina, Hoffman, Mikaila C, Maréchal, Jeanne, Johnson, Timothy M, Zheng, Maya, Schlau-Cohen, Gabriela S, Lucas, Maria Fátima, Braatz, Richard D, Sprenger, Kayla G, Voigt, Christopher A, Sinskey, Anthony J

“…To understand the effects of mutations on IsPETase productivity, we develop a directed evolution assay to identify mutations beneficial to PET film degradation at 30 °C. IsPETase also displays enzyme concentration-dependent inhibition effects, and surface crowding has been proposed as a causal phenomenon. …”

Exciton Dynamics and Anisotropy in 2D Metal Organochalcogenolate Semiconductors by Lee, Woo Seok

“…Using time-resolved and temperature dependent optical spectroscopy, combined with sub-gap photoexcitation studies, we demonstrate that the exciton dynamics in AgSePh films are dominated by the interaction of free-excitons with extrinsic defect states, whereas the dynamics in AgTePh are dominated by intrinsic exciton selftrapping behavior. …”
