The investigation of multi-photochromic compounds constitutes a great challenge, not only from a synthetic point of view, but also with respect to the analysis of the photochemical properties. In this context we designed a novel strategy to access meta-oligoazobiphenyls via site-selective Mills reaction and Suzuki cross-coupling in a highly efficient iterative way. Photochemical examination of the resulting monomeric and oligomeric azo compounds revealed that the overall degree of switching was independent of the connected azo-units. However, one of the azobonds in the bis-azobiphenyl is isomerized preferentially despite the high structural similarity.

Doping contrast using the secondary electron (SE) signal in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) can satisfy the International Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) requisites for quantitative dopant profiling of next-generation integrated circuits and devices, but only if adopting a site-selective specimen preparation procedure. In this study, site-specific dopant profiling was performed on the trench side-wall cut by a 30-kV Ga focused ion beam (FIB) into silicon p-n junction specimens and milled using successively lower voltages in the dual-beam FIB/SEM. Although depositing the protective platinum strap on the surface effectively controls 'curtaining' effects at low final milling voltages, significantly reduced doping contrast from the side-wall compared to that from a cleaved surface subjected to the same ion-beam energy is ascribed to the material affected by a previous milling step, as well as the dissimilar geometries of milling and imaging.

Carbon fibers and sheets were prepared from jet-milled natural chitin and cellulose samples, and from natural lignin sample using ice-templating technique, respectively. Nitrogen doping treatments using melamine were also performed for the carbon fibers and sheets. Electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) electrode properties of the prepared carbon fibers and sheets including the nitrogen doped samples were investigated with aqueous (sulfuric acid) and organic (tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate in propylene carbonate) electrolytes.
