A bio-colloidal drying droplet can be used as a pre-diagnostic technique. However, a successful clinical setting requires a fundamental understanding of the final morphology and the way it is related to the initial state of the constituents…
Detecting specific target analytes and differentiating them from interfering background effects is a crucial but challenging task in complex multi-component solutions commonly encountered in environmental, chemical, biological, and medical…
The resonance energy transfer (RET) from tryptophan present in bovine serum albumin (BSA) to two dimensional (2D) nanomaterials has been reported. In these bio-nano systems, BSA molecules act as efficient donors while 2D van der Waals…
We present here a neutron reflectivity study of the influence of an alternative electric field on a supported phospholipid double bilayer. We report for the first time a reproducible increase of the fluctuation amplitude leading to the…
The light absorption of [001] grown single-crystalline silicon wafers can be enhanced by chemical etching with potassium hydroxide resulting in a pyramid-like surface texture. Alongside this advantageous property in the context of solar…
Herein, we examined the dependence of protein adsorption on the nanoparticle surface in the presence of functional groups. Our UV-visible spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and dynamic light…
A magnetically trapped 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate is used as a sensitive probe of short-range electrical forces. In particular, the electric polarization of, and the subsequent electric field generated by, 87Rb adsorbates on conducting…
A detailed calculation is presented of the dielectric function in superconducttors consisting of two Josephson coupled superconducting layers per unit cell, taking into account the effect of finite compressibility of the electron fluid.…
Co-adsorption of Bi and Sb on Ag(111) at room temperature yields a single-layer Bi(1-x)Sb(x) alloy with a rectangular 3xsqrt(3) structure containing four atoms per unit cell (2/3 ML total coverage) and lacking long-range chemical order. We…
A method for specular reflection of polar molecules is proposed. Electrostatatic potentials and forces are calculated for a low-field-seeking molecule near a series of long cylindrical electrodes of radius $r$ with dc potentials of $+V$ and…
This paper presents the theoretical analysis, design, simulations, and experimental verification of a novel band-notched frequency-selective absorber (BFSA) with polarization rotation function and absorption out-of-band. The BFSA consists…
The design and fabrication of a metal-dielectric-metal absorber that achieves strong absorption from the ultraviolet (UV) to the near-infrared (near-IR) spectrum are presented. The proposed nanostructure consists of a periodic titanium (Ti)…
We investigate the interaction between single quantum emitters and non-transversally polarised photons for which the electric field vector amplitude has a significant component in the direction of propagation. Even though this situation…
We report narrow linewidth optomechanical oscillation of a silica microsphere immersed in a buffer solution. Through a novel optomechanical transduction sensing approach, single 10-nm-radius silica beads and Bovine serum albumin (BSA)…
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) Langmuir monolayer, as a model of biomineralization-associated proteins, was used to study its effect on regulated biomineralization of calcium carbonate. The effects of the BSA Langmuir monolayer and the…
The optical properties of a hexagonal Boron Nitride (BN) monolayer across the UV spectrum are studied by tuning its planar buckling. The strong $\sigma\text{-}\sigma$ bond through sp$^2$ hybridization of a flat BN monolayer can be changed…
We propose a back-reflecting scheme in order to enhance the maximum achievable current in one micron thick crystalline silicon solar cells. We perform 3-dimensional numerical investigations of the scattering properties of metallic…
We investigate the non-linear response and energy absorption in bulk silicon irradiated by intense 12-fs near-infrared laser pulses. Depending on the laser intensity, we distinguish two regimes of non-linear absorption of the laser energy:…
We present results for the optical absorption spectra of small-diameter single-wall carbon and boron nitride nanotubes obtained by {\it ab initio} calculations in the framework of time-dependent density functional theory. We compare the…
We apply attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ATAS) to explore the effects of a nonzero permanent dipole on electron dynamics at the subfemtosecond scale, exemplified in the polar LiF molecule. In contrast with nonpolar systems, a…
