Journal ArticleDOI

Plasmonic twinned silver nanoparticles with molecular precision

TL;DR: The Ag nanoparticles reported in this work serve as excellent models to understand the detailed structure distortion within twinned metal nanostructures and also how silver nanoparticles can span from the molecular to the metallic regime.
Journal ArticleDOI

Topological insulator Bi2Se3 thin films grown on double-layer graphene by molecular beam epitaxy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified the Se-rich condition and temperature criterion for layer-by-layer growth of epitaxial Bi2Se3 films without doping and obtained a defect density of 1.0±0.2×1011/cm2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural Evolution of Atomically Precise Thiolated Bimetallic [Au12+nCu32(SR)(30+n)](4-) (n=0, 2, 4, 6) Nanoclusters

TL;DR: A series of all-thiol stabilized bimetallic Au-Cu nanoclusters, [Au(12+n)Cu32(SR)(30+n)](4-) (n = 0, 2, 4, 6 and SR = SPhCF3), are successfully synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Graphdiyne Interface Engineering: Highly Active and Selective Ammonia Synthesis.

TL;DR: Density function theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the interface bonded GDY contributes an unique p-electronic character to optimally modify the Co-N compound surface bonding, which generates as-observed superior electronic activity for NRR catalysis at the interface region.
