Chiral ceramic nanoparticles and peptide catalysis
(American Chemical Society, 2017)The chirality of nanoparticles (NPs) and their assemblies has been investigated predominantly for noble metals and II-VI semiconductors. However, ceramic NPs represent the majority of nanoscale materials in nature. The ... -
Chiral metamaterials: From negative index to asymmetric transmission
(IEEE, 2013)Chiral metamaterials are attractive for their intriguing properties such as negative refractive index, optical activity and circular dichroism, and asymmetric transmission. In this paper, we review the research we have ... -
Functionalized carbon nanotubes and device applications
(IOP, 2004)Carbon nanotubes, in which the two-dimensional hexagonal lattice of graphene is transformed into a quasi-one-dimensional lattice by conserving the local bond arrangement, provide several structural parameters for engineering ... -
Landau quantization of two-dimensional heavy holes, energy spectrum of magnetoexcitons and Auger-recombination lines
(2013)The Landau quantization of the two-dimensional (2D) heavy holes, its influence on the energy spectrum of 2D magnetoexcitons, as well as their optical orientation are studied. The Hamiltonian of the heavy holes is written ... -
Multiband one-way polarization conversion in complementary split-ring resonator based structures by combining chirality and tunneling
(OSA - The Optical Society, 2015)Multiband one-way polarization conversion and strong asymmetry in transmission inspired by it are demonstrated in ultrathin sandwiched structures that comprise two twisted aperture-type arrays of complementary split-ring ... -
Supramolecular chirality in self-assembled peptide amphiphile nanostructures
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)Induced supramolecular chirality was investigated in the self-assembled peptide amphiphile (PA) nanosystems. Having shown that peptide chirality can be transferred to the covalently-attached achiral pyrene moiety upon PA ... -
Supramolecular peptide nanofiber morphology affects mechanotransduction of stem cells
(American Chemical Society, 2017-08)Chirality and morphology are essential factors for protein function and interactions with other biomacromolecules. Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins are also similar to other proteins in this sense; however, the complexity ...
