Journal ArticleDOI
Stability of crystal facets in gold nanorods
Hadas Katz-Boon,Michael J. Walsh,Christian Dwyer,Paul Mulvaney,Alison M. Funston,Joanne Etheridge +5 more
TL;DR: This work locates and counts atoms in Au nanorods at successive time intervals using quantitative scanning transmission electron microscopy to determine the atomic-level geometry and the relative stability of the facets and to expound their relationship to the overall three-dimensional nanocrystal shape and size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single Gold Nanorod Charge Modulation in an Ion Gel Device
TL;DR: A reliable and reproducible method to rapidly charge single gold nanocrystals in a solid-state device is reported, and single wavelength resonance shifts provide a much faster, more sensitive method for all surface plasmon-based sensing applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy Investigation into Symmetry in Gold Trimer and Tetramer Plasmonic Nanoparticle Structures
Steven J. Barrow,Sean M. Collins,David Rossouw,Alison M. Funston,Gianluigi A. Botton,Paul A. Midgley,Paul Mulvaney +6 more
TL;DR: This work shows that EELS, in conjunction with eigenmode simulations, offers a complete characterization of the individual superstructures, and traces the evolution of both optically dark and bright modes and identifies multipolar mode contributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Charge Transfer through Terthiophene End-Capped Poly(arylene ethynylene)s
TL;DR: In this paper, two poly(arylene ethynylene)s (PAEs) that are end-capped with α-terthiophene (T3) groups were prepared and structurally characterized by proton NMR, GPC, and optical spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
One-electron reduction of an "extended viologen" p-phenylene-bis-4,4'-(1-aryl-2,6-diphenylpyridinium) dication.
Alison M. Funston,James P. Kirby,John R. Miller,Lubomír Pospíšil,Jan Fiedler,Magdaléna Hromadová,Miroslav Gál,Jaroslav Pecka,Michal Valášek,Zbigniew Zawada,Pawel Rempala,Josef Michl +11 more
TL;DR: One-electron reduction of the "extended viologen" dication 1 yields the red cation radical 2, characterized by strong near-IR absorption, which has been generated and studied by pulse radiolytic, electrochemical, redox titration, UV-visible, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic methods.
