Light-controlled one-sided growth of large plasmonic gold domains on quantum rods observed on the single particle level
2009
We create large gold domains (up to 15 nm) exclusively on one side of CdS or CdSe/CdS quantum rods by photoreduction of gold ions under anaerobic conditions. Electrons generated in the semiconductor by UV stimulation migrate to one tip where they reduce gold ions. Large gold domains eventually form; these support efficient plasmon oscillations with a light scattering cross section large enough to visualize single hybrid particles in a dark-field microscope during growth in real time.
Investigations of the emission properties of single CdS-nanocrystallites
1997
Semiconductor nanocrystallites (NCs) with a radius in the range of the bulk exciton radius exhibit a strong quantum size effect. We investigated CdS-NCs, that were spin coated on a glass cover slip, with a low temperature confocal microscope. At low coverage we could image the fluorescence light from single NCs. The typical emission spectra of single NCs show four peaks. Besides the main peak related to near bandgap recombination, up to two LO-phonon satellites and one blue shifted peak were observed. It could be shown that the absorption can be polarization dependent. From the images as well as from the intensity autocorrelation function it could be concluded that the fluorescence emission…
Electrical Bistability around Room Temperature in an Unprecedented One-Dimensional Coordination Magnetic Polymer
2013
The synthesis, crystal structure, and physical properties of an unprecedented one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymer containing [Fe2(S2C6H2Cl2)4](2-) entities bridged by dicationic [K2(μ-H2O)2(THF)4](2+) units are described. The magnetic properties show that the title compound presents pairwise Fe-Fe antiferromagnetic interactions that can be well reproduced with a S = 1/2 dimer model with an exchange coupling, J = -23 cm(-1). The electrical conductivity measurements show that the title compound is a semiconductor with an activation energy of about 290 meV and two different transitions, both with large hysteresis of about 60 and 30 K at 260-320 K and 350-380 K, respectively. These two tr…
Coordination polymers based on diiron tetrakis(dithiolato) bridged by alkali metals, electrical bistability around room temperature, and strong antif…
2015
Coordination polymer chains have been formed by the direct reaction between HSC6H2Cl2SH and FeCl3·6H2O in the presence of an aqueous solution of the corresponding alkali-metal hydroxide (M = Li, Na, and K) or carbonate (M = Rb and Cs). The structures consist of dimeric [Fe2(SC6H2Cl2S)4](2-) entities bridged by [M2(THF)4] [M = K (1), Rb (2), and Cs (3); THF = tetrahydrofuran] or {[Na2(μ-H2O)2(THF)2] (5 and 5') units. The smaller size of the lithium atom yields an anion/cation ion-pair molecule, [Li(THF)4]2[Fe2(SC6H2Cl2S)4] (4), in which the dianionic moieties are held together by Cl···Cl interactions. Electrical characterization of these compounds shows a general semiconductor behavior in wh…

Semiconductive and Magnetic One-Dimensional Coordination Polymers of Cu(II) with Modified Nucleobases
2013
Four new copper(II) coordination complexes, obtained by reaction of CuX2 (X = acetate or chloride) with thymine-1-acetic acid and uracil-1-propionic acid as ligands, of formulas [Cu(TAcO)2(H2O)4]·4H2O (1), [Cu(TAcO)2(H2O)2]n (2), [Cu3(TAcO)4(H2O)2(OH)2]n·4H2O (3), and [Cu3(UPrO)2Cl2(OH)2(H2O)2]n (4) (TAcOH = thymine-1-acetic acid, UPrOH = uracil-1-propionic acid) are described. While 1 is a discrete complex, 2-4 are one-dimensional coordination polymers. Complexes 2-4 present dc conductivity values between 10(-6) and 10(-9) S/cm(-1). The magnetic behavior of complex 2 is typical for almost isolated Cu(II) metal centers. Moderate-weak antiferromagnetic interactions have been found in complex…
Analysis of gas sensors array signals for evaluation of mold contamination in buildings
2018
Mold is considered to be one of the most important features of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) and is an important problem in building sector. In numerous cases it is caused by the rising moisture of building envelopes and overstated humidity of indoor air. Fungal contamination is normally evaluated using standard biological methods which are time-consuming and require a lot of manual labor. But also, fungi emit Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) that can be detected in the indoor air using several techniques of detection e.g. chromatography. VOCs can be also detected using gas sensors arrays. All arrays of sensors generate particular electric signals that ought to be analyzed using statistical …

Monte Carlo investigation of electron spin relaxation in GaAs crystals during low-field transport
2011
A great emerging interest within the condensed matter physics is the use of electron spin in semiconductor-based spintronic devices to perform both logic operations, communication and storage. In order to make spintronics a feasible technology, sufficiently long spin lifetimes and the possibility to manipulate, control and detect the spin polarization are required. The loss of spin polarization before, during and after the necessary operations is a crucial problem into spin device design; thus, a full understanding of the role played by the lattice temperature, the doping density and the amplitude of the applied electric field on the electron spin dynamics in semiconductors is essential for…
