Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and properties of organo-soluble tetraphenylethylene monolayer-protected gold nanorods
TL;DR: In this article, tetraphenylethylene derived monolayer-protected gold nanorods were prepared and characterized, and they were found to be soluble and stable in organic solvents.
Journal ArticleDOI
General approach to surface-accessible plasmonic Pickering emulsions for SERS sensing and interfacial catalysis
Yingrui Zhang,Ziwei Ye,Chunchun Li,Qinglu Chen,Wafaa Aljuhani,Yiming Huang,Xin Xu,Chunfei Wu,Steven E. J. Bell,Yikai Xu +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a general modifier-free approach to construct Pickering emulsions by using a combination of stabilizer particles, which stabilize the emulsion droplet, and a second population of unmodified functional particles that sit alongside the stabilizers at the interface is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dataset demonstrating the working-principles of surface-exposed nanoparticle sheet enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SENSERS) for solvent-free SERS
TL;DR: The data presented in this article is related to the research article entitled “Pressing Solids Directly Into Sheets of Plasmonic Nanojunctions Enables Solvent-Free Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy” (Xu et al., 2018).
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuously tunable topological defects and topological edge states in dielectric photonic crystals
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that in a dielectric photonic crystal, it is possible to tune the Burgers vector as a function of dislocations and disclinations.
