Hybrid plasmonic photoreactors as visible light-mediated bactericides [PDF]
Photocatalytic compounds and complexes, such as tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II), [Ru(bpy)3]2+, have recently attracted attention as light-mediated bactericides that can help to address the need for new antibacterial strategies.

Influence of temperature, UV-light wavelength and intensity on polypropylene photothermal oxidation [PDF]
A criterion based on the energy absorbed by photosensitive species was proposed to describe the contribution of UV-light to the initiation of the polypropylene photothermal oxidation whatever the light source. The calculation of this energy was performed

Photothermal effects in ultra-precisely stabilized tunable microcavities
We study the mechanical stability of a tunable high-finesse microcavity under ambient conditions and investigate light-induced effects that can both suppress and excite mechanical fluctuations.

A general kinetic model for the photothermal oxidation of polypropylene [PDF]
A general kinetic model for the photothermal oxidation of polypropylene has been derived from the basic auto-oxidation mechanistic scheme in which the main sources of radicals are the thermolysis and photolysis of the most unstable species, i.e ...

Single crystal diamond nanobeam waveguide optomechanics
Optomechanical devices sensitively transduce and actuate motion of nanomechanical structures using light. Single--crystal diamond promises to improve the performance of optomechanical devices, while also providing opportunities to interface nanomechanics

Electronic Tuning of Mixed Quinoidal‐Aromatic Conjugated Polyelectrolytes: Direct Ionic Substitution on Polymer Main‐Chains [PDF]
The synthesis of conjugated polymers with ionic substituents directly bound to their main chain repeat units is a strategy for generating strongly electron-accepting conjugated polyelectrolytes, as demonstrated through the synthesis of a series of ionic ...

Polarization-resolved extinction and scattering cross-section of individual gold nanoparticles measured by wide-field microscopy on a large ensemble [PDF]
We report a simple, rapid, and quantitative wide-field technique to measure the optical extinction $\sigma_{\rm ext}$ and scattering $\sigma_{\rm sca}$ cross-section of single nanoparticles using wide-field microscopy enabling simultaneous acquisition of
