- Description:
- Compressive sensing allows signals to be efficiently captured by exploiting their inherent sparsity. Here we implement sparse sampling to capture the electronic structure and ultrafast dynamics of molecular systems using phase-resolved 2D coherent spectroscopy. Until now, 2D spectroscopy has been hampered by its reliance on array detectors that operate in...

- Description:
- The broad-based implementation of thermoelectric materials in converting heat to electricity hinges on the achievement of high conversion efficiency. Here we demonstrate a thermoelectric figure of merit ZT of 2.5 at 923 K by the cumulative integration of several performance-enhancing concepts in a single material system. Using non-equilibrium processing we show...

- Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate intercellular communication through transfer of RNA and protein between cells. Thus, understanding how cargo molecules are loaded and delivered by EVs is of central importance for elucidating the biological roles of EVs and developing EV-based therapeutics. While some motifs modulating the loading of biomolecular cargo into...

- Quantum frequency conversion (QFC) of photonic signals preserves quantum information while simultaneously changing the signal wavelength. A common application of QFC is to translate the wavelength of a signal compatible with the current fiber-optic infrastructure to a shorter wavelength more compatible with high-quality single-photon detectors and optical memories. Recent work...

- Description:
- Most people imagine hacking to be an exceedingly complex crime, requiring an understanding of computing systems that goes far beyond that of average, functionally literate PC users. While there are sophisticated hacking techniques which do fit this description, many forms of hacking require little more than the ability to install...

- Description:
- Several phosphonate-functionalized molecular squares have been successfully synthesized, and the fabrication of multilayer films on both conductive and semiconducting platforms has been demonstrated. These films were grown using the well-documented zirconium phosphonate multilayer method. The layer-by-layer growth rate is uniform. Experiments suggest, however, that the molecular squares adopt a semi-collapsed...

- Description:
- The development and applications of organic/DNA molecules for the use of DNA detection systems are reported here. In particular, two different hybrids are synthesized: DNA/polymer hybrids and small-molecule DNA hybrids. DNA/polymer hybrids are especially useful considering that their functionality may be varied according to the polymer selected. The hybrids are...

- Description:
- Recent research suggests that ultraviolet illumination is essential for the creation of monolayers of Undecylenic Acid Methyl Ester (UDAME), as it is believed that the UV illumination initiates the radical-chain polymerization. Samples created without UV illumination, however, also show signs of a monolayer. In this study, samples were analyzed using...

- Description:
- This research project explores two different processes that can be used to pattern organic molecules on silicon. In the first process, hydrogen-terminated silicon surfaces were anodized in nanometer scale with a contact-mode atomic force microscope (AFM). Anodization was done by applying a positive bias voltage to the surface with respect...

- Description:
- Feedback-controlled lithography (FCL) enables atomically precise patterning of individual molecules on the technologically significant Si(100)-2 x 1:H surface. However, because it is performed in an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) environment, FCL has thus far been restricted to surface chemistries that can be delivered in the gas phase. The present research attempts...

- Description:
- Transmission and reflection diffraction gratings were fabricated by micropatterning polymers on transparent substrates and drop-coating polymers onto etched silicon wafers. Exposure of these gratings to three nerve toxin mimics at very low concentrations resulted in mimic sorption by the polymers, changing the polymer’s refractive index. As a result, the grating’s...

- Description:
- While nanoscale device prototypes using carbon nanotubes abound, no mass production-scale technique exists for examining properties of a batch of nanotubes. Dielectrophoresis, on the other hand, has received much attention in the press as a method of separating and trapping particles. In this research, a method of developing mass production-scale...
