On the structure and chiroptical properties of (S)-4-isopropyl-oxazolidin-2-one (2008)
Journal Article
Benoit, D., Coulbeck, E., Eames, J., & Motevalli, M. (2008). On the structure and chiroptical properties of (S)-4-isopropyl-oxazolidin-2-one. Tetrahedron: Asymmetry, 19(9), 1068-1077. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tetasy.2008.03.032

The specific rotation of (S)-4-isopropyl-oxazolidin-2-one is extremely solvent dependent. In chloroform it is dextrorotatory {[α] D 26 = + 15.5 (c 5.2, CHCl 3 )}, whereas in ethanol it is levorotatory {[α] D 26 = - 16.1 (c 5.2, EtOH)}. © 2008 Elsevie...

White-light OLEDs using liquid crystal polymer networks (2008)
Journal Article

We have mixed nematic light-emitting liquid crystals and incorporated them as insoluble cross-linked polymer networks in a liquid crystal white-light organic light-emitting diode (LC-WOLED). The light emission is not voltage-dependent and polarized w... Read More about White-light OLEDs using liquid crystal polymer networks.

Iterative active-space selection for vibrational configuration interaction calculations using a reduced-coupling VSCF basis (2008)
Journal Article
Scribano, Y., & Benoit, D. M. (2008). Iterative active-space selection for vibrational configuration interaction calculations using a reduced-coupling VSCF basis. Chemical Physics Letters, 458(4-6), 384-387. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cplett.2008.05.001

We adapt a variation-perturbation method to perform vibrational configuration interaction (VCI) calculations on large molecular systems. Starting from a self-consistent vibrational wave function, we use the vibrational configuration interaction with...

The stability of PEDOT:PSS films monitored by electron spin resonance (2008)
Journal Article
Lee, J. K., Cho, J. M., Shin, W. S., Moon, S. J., Kemp, N. T., Zhang, H., & Lamb, R. (2008). The stability of PEDOT:PSS films monitored by electron spin resonance. Journal of the Korean Physical Society, 52(3), 621-626. https://doi.org/10.3938/jkps.52.621

We used electron spin resonance (ESR) and electrical conductivity measurements to track the stability of poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and ethylene glycol (EG)-treated PEDOT:PSS (EG-PEDOT:PSS) films in air. We... Read More about The stability of PEDOT:PSS films monitored by electron spin resonance.

Near-field investigation of porous silicon photoluminescence modification after oxidation in water (2008)
Journal Article
Juan, M., Bouillard, J. S., Plain, J., Lerondel, G., Adam, P. M., Bachelot, R., & Royer, P. (2008). Near-field investigation of porous silicon photoluminescence modification after oxidation in water. Journal of Microscopy, 229(3), 469-474. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2818.2008.01930.x

We report on local photo‐induced oxidation of porous silicon in water at room temperature. Starting from a nonluminescent sample, the oxidation process induces luminescence which was found to first increase and then decrease as a function of the oxid...

Detection in near-field domain of biomolecules adsorbed on a single metallic nanoparticle (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barbillon, G., Bijeon, J. L., Bouillard, J. S., Plain, J., Lamy De La Chapelle, M., Adam, P. M., & Royer, P. Detection in near-field domain of biomolecules adsorbed on a single metallic nanoparticle

In this paper, we study the performances of nanosensors based on Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance in the context of biological sensing. We demonstrate the sensitivity and the selectivity of our designed nanosensors by studying the influence of the...

Observation of the β-phase in two short-chain oligofluorenes (2008)
Journal Article

The polymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PF8) can be driven into a morphological form termed the β-phase that has enhanced planarity and increased structural rigidity. We show that the β-phase can be generated in two different fluorene oligomers; a flu... Read More about Observation of the β-phase in two short-chain oligofluorenes.
