Surface plasmons (SPs) are coherent oscillations of conduction electrons on a metal surface
excited by electromagnetic radiation at a metal-dielectric interface. The growing field of …

During the past decade, scientists have developed techniques for synthesizing and
characterizing many new materials with at least one dimension on the nanoscale, including …

Carboxylatopillar [5] arene (CP [5] A), a new water-soluble macrocyclic synthetic receptor,
has been employed as a stabilizing ligand for in situ preparation of gold nanoparticles …

A variety of metallic nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution have been synthesized in a
facile one-phase method in which amine− borane complexes are applied as reducing …

We report a one-pot method for synthesizing atomically monodisperse Au25 nanoclusters
stabilized with various functionalized thiols. This approach permits facile incorporation of …

We report a high yielding synthesis of truly monodisperse, thiolate-protected silver clusters
via a rationally designed approach. The cluster composition was determined by electrospray …

Despite the recent crystallographic determination of the crystal structure of Au25
(SCH2CH2Ph) 18 clusters, the question− whether all thiolate-capped, 25-atom gold clusters …

Combinations of liquid crystals and materials with unique features as well as properties at
the nanoscale are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to recent developments, ie, since …

The fabrication, assembly, and initial testing of a hybrid microfabricated gas chromatograph
(µGC) is described. The µGC incorporates capabilities for on-board calibration, sample …

Monodisperse Au, Ag, and Au3Pd nanoparticles (NPs) with narrow size distribution are
prepared by direct reaction of the related metal salt with oleylamine in toluene. Oleylamine …
