Crossover between liquid-like and gas-like behaviour in CH₄ at 400 K (2017)
Journal Article
Smith, D., Hakeem, M. A., Parisiades, P., Maynard-Casely, H. E., Foster, D., Eden, D., …Proctor, J. E. (2017). Crossover between liquid-like and gas-like behaviour in CH₄ at 400 K. Physical Review E, 96(5), Article 052113. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.96.052113

We report experimental evidence for a crossover between a liquid-like state and a gas-like state in fluid methane (CH₄). This crossover is observed in all of our experiments, up to 397 K temperature; 2.1 times the critical temperature of methane. The...

Determining molecular orientation via single molecule SERS in a plasmonic nano-gap (2017)
Journal Article
Marshall, A. R. L., Stokes, J., Viscomi, F. N., Proctor, J. E., Gierschner, J., Bouillard, J. G., & Adawi, A. M. (2017). Determining molecular orientation via single molecule SERS in a plasmonic nano-gap. Nanoscale, 9(44), 17415-17421. https://doi.org/10.1039/C7NR05107G

In this work, plasmonic nano-gaps consisting of a silver nanoparticle coupled to an extended silver film have been fully optimized for single molecule Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. The SERS signal was found to be strongly dep... Read More about Determining molecular orientation via single molecule SERS in a plasmonic nano-gap.

Magnetic control of MOF crystal orientation and alignment (2017)
Journal Article
Cheng, F., Marshall, E. S., Young, A. J., Robinson, P. J., Bouillard, J. S. G., Adawi, A. M., …Chin, J. M. (2017). Magnetic control of MOF crystal orientation and alignment. Chemistry: a European journal, 23(62), 15578-15582. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201703812

Most metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess anisotropic properties, the full exploitation of which necessitates a general strategy for the controllable orientation of such MOF crystals. Current methods largely rely upon layer-by-layer MOF epitaxy or... Read More about Magnetic control of MOF crystal orientation and alignment.

Multiwavelength photoconductivity of ZnO nanoparticles based on surface defects and plasmonics (2017)
Thesis
Ibrahem, M. A. (2017). Multiwavelength photoconductivity of ZnO nanoparticles based on surface defects and plasmonics. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221058

ZnO is distinguished as the semiconductor of choice in a variety of applications such as in optoelectronics and photodetectors owing to its superior light sensitivity, the ease of synthesis in a wide range of nanostructure forms and its tuneable opti...

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy for single molecule detection and biosensing (2017)
Thesis
Marshall, A. R. L. (2017). Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy for single molecule detection and biosensing. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220864

The aim of this thesis is to design plasmonic nano-gaps capable of detecting materials down to sufficiently low concentrations such that single molecule characteristics are observed. We begin first, by discussing the theory of plasmonics. Then, we as... Read More about Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy for single molecule detection and biosensing.

Dual-modal SERS/fluorescence AuNP probe for mitochondrial imaging (2017)
Journal Article
Eling, C. J., Price, T. W., Marshall, A. R. L., Narda Viscomi, F., Robinson, P., Firth, G., …Stasiuk, G. J. (2017). Dual-modal SERS/fluorescence AuNP probe for mitochondrial imaging. ChemPlusChem, 82(5), 674-680. https://doi.org/10.1002/cplu.201600593

A novel SERS/fluorescent multimodal imaging probe for mitochondria has been synthesised using 12 nm diameter gold nanoparticles (AuNP) surface functionalised with a rhodamine thiol derivative ligand. The normal pH dependant acidic fluorescence of the... Read More about Dual-modal SERS/fluorescence AuNP probe for mitochondrial imaging.
