Memory characteristics of a self-assembled monolayer of Pt nanoparticles as a charge trapping layer

A self-assembled monolayer of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) was studied as a charge trapping layer for non-volatile memory (NVM) applications. Pt NPs with a narrow size distribution (diameter ～4?nm) were synthesized via an alcohol reduction method. The monolayer of these Pt NPs was immobilized on a SiO(2) substrate using poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) as a surface modifier. A metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) type memory device with Pt NPs exhibits a relatively large memory window of 5.8?V under ± 7?V for program/erase voltage. These results indicate that the self-assembled Pt NPs can be utilized for NVM devices.

Biodegradable quantum dot nanocomposites enable live cell labeling and imaging of cytoplasmic targets

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) offer great promise as the new generation of fluorescent probes to image and study biological processes. Despite their superior optical properties, QDs for live cell monitoring and tracking of cytoplasmic processes remain limited due to inefficient delivery methods available, altered state or function of cells during the delivery process and the requirement of surface-functionalized QDs for specific labeling of subcellular structures. Here, we present a noninvasive method to image subcellular structures in live cells using bioconjugated QD nanocomposites. By incorporating antibody-coated QDs within biodegradable polymeric nanospheres, we have designed a bioresponsive delivery system that undergoes endolysosomal to cytosolic translocation via pH-dependent reversal of nanocomposite surface charge polarity. Upon entering the cytosol, the polymer nanospheres undergo hydrolysis thus releasing the QD bioconjugates. This approach facilitates multiplexed labeling of subcellular structures inside live cells without the requirement of cell fixation or membrane permeabilization. As compared to conventional intracellular delivery techniques, this approach allows the high throughput cytoplasmic delivery of QDs with minimal toxicity to the cell. More importantly, this development demonstrates an important rational strategy for the design of a multifunctional nanosystem for biological applications.

Investigation of Friction Force between Mould and Strand Shell under Sinusoidal and Non‐sinusoidal Oscillation in Continuous Slab Casting

Friction force is an important parameter to evaluate powder lubrication and reflect the interaction between mould and strand shell. A non‐sinusoidal oscillation pattern emerges under high speed continuous casting, the characteristic of which is that the time of upward motion is longer than that of the downward motion within one cycle. In the present research experiments were performed on a slab continuous caster with a strand size of 1000 mm ×120 mm. The friction forces of sinusoidal and non‐sinusoidal oscillation under the same parameters were calculated and comparatively analysed. The results show that the friction forces of both oscillation patterns approximately change along with velocity, and present a trend to a trapezoid wave, but there is a phase difference between the friction force and relative velocity. Compared with sinusoidal oscillation, the non‐sinusoidal oscillation pattern exhibits some important advantages as follows; the maximal and average compressive forces and the compressive force work acting on the strand shell are all higher, the maximal tension is lower, and the actual amount of negative strip is higher. These advantages effect better healing of surface cracks and strand demoulds, and reduce the generation and expansion of cracks, consequently improve the surface quality.

Indoline‐Based Molecular Engineering for Optimizing the Performance of Photoactive Thin Films

New indoline dyes ( RK‐1 – 4 ) were designed with a planar geometry and high molar extinction coefficient, which provided surprising power conversion efficiency (PCE) with a thin titanium dioxide film in dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSCs). They had a difference in only alkyl chain length. Despite the same molecular structure, the performance of the respective DSCs varied significantly. Investigating the dye adsorption processes and charge transfer kinetics, the alkyl chain length was determined to affect the dye surface coverage as well as the recombination between the injected photoelectrons and the oxidized redox mediators. When applied to the DSCs as a light harvester, RK‐3 with the dodecyl group exhibited the best photocurrent density, consequently achieving the best PCE of 9.1% with a 1.8 μm active and 2.5 μm scattering layer because of the most favorable charge injection. However, when increasing the active layer thickness, overall device performance deteriorated and the charge collection and regeneration played major roles for determining the PCE. Therefore, RK‐2 featuring the highest surface coverage and moderate alkyl chain length obtained the highest PCEs of 8.8% and 7.9% with 3.5 and 5.1 μm active layers, respectively. These results present a promising perspective of organic dye design for thin film DSCs.
