Near-field and far-field optical microscopy are used to study the optical properties of nanowires based on a blend of 95% poly (9,9-dioctylfluorene) [PFO] doped with 5% poly (9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-benzothiadiazole) [F8BT]. Single nanowires were ima... Read More about Optical properties of nanowires based on a blend of poly (9,9-dioctylfluorene) [PFO] and poly(9,9-dioctyl fluorene-alt-benzothiadiazole) [F8BT].

Long-term ambient air-stable cubic CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots using molecular bromine (2019)
Journal Article
Thapa, S., Bhardwaj, K., Basel, S., Pradhan, S., Eling, C. J., Adawi, A. M., Bouillard, J. S. G., Stasiuk, G. J., Reiss, P., Pariyar, A., & Tamang, S. (2019).

Dynamic electric field alignment of metal-organic framework micro- rods (2019)
Journal Article
Cheng, F., Young, A. J., Bouillard, J.-S. G., Kemp, N. T., Guillet-Nicolas, R., Hall, C. H., Roberts, D., Jaafar, A. H., Adawi, A. M., Kleitz, F., Imhof, A., Reithofer, M.-C. R., & Chin, J. M. (2019). Dynamic electric field alignment of metal-organic framework micro- rods. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 141(33), 12989-12993. https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.9b06320

Alignment of Metal Organic Framework (MOF) crystals has previously been performed via careful control of oriented MOF growth on substrates, as well as by dynamic magnetic alignment. We show here that microrod crystals of the MOF NU-1000 can also be d... Read More about Dynamic electric field alignment of metal-organic framework micro- rods.

Probing the molecular orientation of a single conjugated polymer via nano-gap SERS (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, The Author(s). Indium phosphide based quantum dots have emerged in recent years as alternatives to traditional heavy metal (cadmium, lead) based materials suitable for biomedical application due to their non-toxic nature. The major barrier to... Read More about Synthesis of super bright indium phosphide colloidal quantum dots through thermal diffusion.

A label-free aptamer-based nanogap capacitive biosensor with greatly diminished electrode polarization effects (2019)
Journal Article
Ghobaei Namhil, Z., Kemp, C., Verrelli, E., Iles, A., Pamme, N., Adawi, A. M., & Kemp, N. (2019). A label-free aptamer-based nanogap capacitive biosensor with greatly diminished electrode polarization effects. Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP, 21(2), 681-691. https://doi.org/10.1039/c8cp05510f

A significant impediment to the use of impedance spectroscopy in bio-sensing is the electrode polarization effect that arises from the movement of free ions to the electrode-solution interface, forming an electrical double layer (EDL). The EDL screen... Read More about A label-free aptamer-based nanogap capacitive biosensor with greatly diminished electrode polarization effects.
