Fluorescence resonance energy transfer between organic dyes adsorbed onto nano-clay and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films [PDF]
Spectrochimica Acta Part A 75 (2010) 664-670, 2011 In this communication we investigate two dyes N,N' -dioctadecyl thiacyanine perchlorate (NK) and octadecyl rhodamine B chloride (RhB) in Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films with or with out a synthetic clay laponite. Observed changes in isotherms of RhB in absence and presence of nano-clay platelets indicate the incorporation of clay platelets ...

J-aggregates of thiacyanine dye organized in LB films: effect of irradiation of light [PDF]
Journal of Luminescence Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2011, Pages
1655-1660, 2011 In the present communication we report the preparation and characterizations of Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films of a thiacyanine dye-dioctadecyl thiacyanine perchlorate (NK) mixed with Octadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (OTAB). The relationship between the molar ratio of OTAB and NK and the orientation of molecules at the air-water interface was

Possibility of microscopic liquid water formation at landing sites on Mars and their observational potential [PDF]
, 2016 Microscopic liquid brines, especially calcium-perchlorate could emerge by deliquescence on Mars during night time hours. Using climate model computations and orbital humidity observations, the ideal periods and their annual plus daily characteristics at various past, current and future landing sites were compared.

A molecular Ferroelectric thin film of imidazolium perchlorate on Silicon [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Molecular ferroelectric materials have attracted widespread attention due to their abundant chemical diversity, structural tunability, low synthesis temperature, and high flexibility. Meanwhile, the integration of molecular ferroelectric materials and Si is still challenging, while the fundamental understanding of the ferroelectric switching process is

Microscopic Model for Photoinduced Magnetism in the Molecular Complex $[Mo(IV)(CN)_2(CN-CuL)_6]^{8+}$ Perchlorate [PDF]
, 2005 A theoretical model for understanding photomagnetism in the heptanuclear complex $[Mo(IV)(CN)_2(CN-CuL)_6]^{8+}$ perchlorate is developed. It is a many-body model involving the active orbitals on the transition metal ions. The model is exactly solved using a valence bond approach.

Fluorescence and FRET based mercury (II) sensor [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, 2019, 2019 A mercury (II) sensor has been proposed based on Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) between N,N'-dioctadecyl thiacyanine perchlorate (NK) and Octadecyl rhodamine B chloride (RhB). Out of these two molecules NK is sensitive to Hg2+ ions due to presence of sulfur atom in it.

Magnetic order in the S=1/2 two-dimensional molecular antiferromagnet, copper pyrazine perchlorate Cu(Pz)_2(ClO_4)_2 [PDF]
Phys. Rev. B 75, 094421 (2007), 2006 We present an investigation of magnetic ordering in the two-dimensional S=1/2 quantum magnet Cu(Pz)_2(ClO_4)_2 using specific heat and zero field muon-spin relaxation (\mu^+SR). The magnetic contribution to the specific heat is consistent with an exchange strength of 17.7(3) K.

Mobility enhancement and highly efficient gating of monolayer MoS2 transistors with Polymer Electrolyte [PDF]
, 2012 We report electrical characterization of monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) devices using a thin layer of polymer electrolyte consisting of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) as both a contact-barrier reducer and channel mobility booster. We find that bare MoS2 devices (without polymer electrolyte) fabricated on Si/SiO2 have

Spin crossover self-assembled monolayer of a Co(II) terpyridine derivative functionalized with carboxylic acid groups [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The deposition of a monolayer by direct self-assembly from solution of an active spin-crossover (SCO) complex via chemisorption has been achieved starting from the perchlorate salt of Co(II) bis(4-(4-carboxyphenyl)-2,2:6,2-terpyridine). MALDI-TOF MS, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirm the presence of an intact ...

Shock vaporization/devolatilization of evaporitic minerals, halite and gypsum, in an open system investigated by a two-stage light gas gun [PDF]
, 2019 Dry lakebeds might constitute large volatile reservoirs on Mars. Hypervelocity impacts onto ancient dry lakebeds would have affected the volatile distribution on Mars. We developed a new experimental method to investigate the response of evaporitic minerals (halite and gypsum) to impact shocks in an open system.
