One-shot K-region-selective annulative π-extension for nanographene synthesis and functionalization

One-shot K-region-selective annulative π-extension for nanographene synthesis and functionalization

The optoelectronic nature of two-dimensional sheets of sp(2)-hydridized carbons (for example, graphenes and nanographenes) can be dramatically altered and tuned by altering the degree of π-extension, shape, width and edge topology. Among various approaches to synthesize nanographenes with atom-by-atom precision, one-shot annulative π-extension (APEX) reactions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon...

A one pot organic/CdSe nanoparticle hybrid material synthesis with in situ π-conjugated ligand functionalization.

A one pot method for organic/colloidal CdSe nanoparticle hybrid material synthesis is presented. Relative to traditional ligand exchange processes, these materials require smaller amounts of the desired capping ligand, shorter syntheses and fewer processing steps, while maintaining nanoparticle morphology.

Search for direct CP violating charge asymmetries in K ± → π ± π + π − and K ± → π ± π 0 π 0 decays

A measurement of the direct CP violating charge asymmetries of the Dalitz plot linear slopes Ag = (g + − g)/(g + g) in K → πππ and K → πππ decays by the NA48/2 experiment at CERN SPS is presented. A new technique of asymmetry measurement involving simultaneous K and K beams and a large data sample collected allowed a result of an unprecedented precision. The charge asymmetries were measured to ...

Renormalization of K + K − → π 0 π + π −

Observation of π^{-}K^{+} and π^{+}K^{-} Atoms.

The observation of hydrogenlike πK atoms, consisting of π^{-}K^{+} or π^{+}K^{-} mesons, is presented. The atoms are produced by 24  GeV/c protons from the CERN PS accelerator, interacting with platinum or nickel foil targets. The breakup (ionization) of πK atoms in the same targets yields characteristic πK pairs, called "atomic pairs," with small relative momenta Q in the pair center-of-mass s...
