We present herein a rational approach to probe the torsional strain-induced electronic transition energy Eii variation of individual SWNTs by resonant Raman spectroscopy (RRS). When a SWNT was manipulated by AFM tip through a path perpendicular to SWNT axis, both torsional and uniaxial strain would be introduced in SWNTs. Under the torsional strain, resonant Raman spectral mapping along a SWNT detected an M-shaped frequency (omegaRBM) and W-shaped intensity (IS) variation of radial breathing mode (RBM) spectra, which were induced by the elastic retraction of the nanotubes in combination with the friction after the tip has been removed. The electronic transition energy Eii variation along SWNTs by torsional strain follows a family pattern based on q=(n - m) mod 3: for semiconducting SWNTs, E33S increases for q=+1, E33S decreases and E22S increases for q=-1, and for metallic SWNTs, E11M always increases.

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have emerged as promising materials for electrochemiluminescence (ECL) applications due to their unique optical and electronic properties. In this study, GQDs were synthesized via electrochemical exfoliation of graphite in a constant current density mode, enabling scalable production with controlled size and surface functionalization. GQDs-4 and GQDs-20, synthesized at applied current densities of 4 mA/cm2 and 20 mA/cm2 to the graphite electrode, respectively, were investigated on roles of surface states and exciplex dominated aggregation-induced emission (AIE) in their ECL performance.

Context: The study of the influence of solvent on 1-bromo adamantane (BAD) exposes prominent solvatochromatic shifts in the optical absorbance and substantial solvent effects on the electronic structure. This facilitates the molecular probe abilities for the BAD with respect to the surrounding environments such as dielectric constant and polarity. BAD exhibits positive solvatochromism for nonpolar solvents and negative solvatochromatic shifts for polar and aromatic solvents.

ConspectusIn the search for efficient and selective electrocatalysts capable of converting greenhouse gases to value-added products, enzymes found in naturally existing bacteria provide the basis for most approaches toward electrocatalyst design. Ni,Fe-carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (Ni,Fe-CODH) is one such enzyme, with a nickel-iron-sulfur cluster named the C-cluster, where CO binds and is converted to CO at high rates near the thermodynamic potential. In this Account, we divide the enzyme's catalytic contributions into three categories based on location and function.

The crystal and electronic structure of ZrxTi1-xSe2 (0 < x < 1) compounds and their electrical resistivity have been studied in detail for the first time. A combination of soft x-ray spectroscopic methods (XPS, XAS, and ResPES) was used to investigate the electronic structure. The lattice parameters as a function of the metal concentration x obey Vegard's law.
