We demonstrate radiation induced enhancement of both the in coupling of Raman excitation wavelength and Raman signal in plasmonic nanoparticle lattices. Rectangular nanoparticle lattices show two independently controllable lattice resonances, which we tune to be resonant with both the Raman excitation wavelength and the Raman transitions of rhodamine 6G molecules. We demonstrate that these narrow and intense resonances produced by the nanoparticle lattices allow for Raman transition specific enhancements. The system allows for independent tuning of both resonance conditions, enabling an efficient and versatile platform for Raman studies of various molecules.

Nickel-iron-based catalysts are recognized for their high efficiency in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under alkaline conditions, yet the underlying mechanisms that drive their superior performance remain unclear. Herein, we revealed the molecular OER mechanism and the structure-intermediate-performance relationship of OER on a phosphorus-doped nickel-iron nanocatalyst (NiFeP). NiFeP exhibited exceptional activity and stability with an overpotential of only 210 mV at 10 mA cm in 1 M KOH and a cell voltage of 1.

Context: In the context of biomaterials, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) is a widely used monomer in dental resins due to its favorable mechanical properties and ease of polymerization. However, improving its structural stability and enhancing its performance in biological applications remain crucial goals. This study examines the impact of incorporating gold (Au) nanoparticles into the TEGDMA matrix, focusing on their potential to improve mechanical, thermal, and optical properties for biomedical applications.

A single photoexcited electron-hole pair within a polar semiconductor nanocrystal (SNC) alters the charge screening and shielding within it. Perturbations of the crystal lattice and of the valence and conduction bands result, and the quantum-confinement states in a SNC shift uniquely with a dependence on the states occupied by the carriers. This shifting is termed quantum-state renormalization (QSR).
