We investigate the interplay between quenching and strong coupling in systems that include a collection of quantum emitters interacting with a metal nanoparticle. By using detailed numerical simulations and analytical modeling, we demonstrate that quantum emitters can exhibit strong coupling with the particle dipole resonance at distances at which the quenching to nonradiative channels is expec...

We present a systematical theoretical study on the transport properties of an archetypal family of Hund's metals, Sr_{2}RuO_{4}, Sr_{3}Ru_{2}O_{7}, SrRuO_{3}, and CaRuO_{3}, within the combination of first principles density functional theory and dynamical mean field theory. The agreement between theory and experiments for optical conductivity and resistivity is good, which indicates that elect...

TiO₂-based composites have been paid significant attention in the photocatalysis field. The size, crystallinity and nanomorphology of TiO₂ materials have an important effect on the photocatalytic efficiency. The synthesis and photocatalytic activity of TiO₂-based materials have been widely investigated in past decades. Based on our group's research works on TiO₂ materials, this review introduce...

We provide a self-consistent mean field approximation in the framework of Mie scattering theory to study the optical bistability of a metallic nanoparticle coated with a nonlinear shell. We demonstrate that the nanoparticle coated with a weakly nonlinear shell exhibits optical bistability in a broad range of incident optical intensity. This optical bistability critically relies on the geometry ...

A new application area using a very simple alkali metal chalcogenide, disodium diselenide (Na2Se2), has been developed. The prepared alkali metal chalcogenide (disodium diselenide, Na2Se2) acts as an anionic exchange precursor (PbS to PbS-PbSe), a Se precursor for metal selenide nanoparticles (Ag to Ag2Se), and a MCC (FeO-MCC) depending on the type of colloidal nanoparticles.

Discharges of metal oxide nanoparticles into aquatic environments are increasing with their use in society, thereby increasing exposure risk for aquatic organisms. Separating the impacts of nanoparticle from dissolved metal pollution is critical for assessing the environmental risks of the rapidly growing nanomaterial industry, especially in terms of ecosystem effects. Metal oxides negatively a...

in this paper, macrocyclic cobalt(ii) complexes [col1](no3)2.4h2o (1) and [col2](no3)2.2h2o (2) have been synthesized from the reaction of dialdehydes 1,2-bis(2-formylphenyl)ethane and 1,3-bis(2-formylphenyl)propane, co(no3)2.6h2o and 1,2-cyclohexanediamine with molar ration 1:1:1 in methanole and characterized by elemental analyses and ft-ir spectroscopy. then used as precursors for preparatio...

BACKGROUND The majority of complex and advanced materials contain nanoparticles. The properties of these materials depend crucially on the size and shape of these nanoparticles. Wulff construction offers a simple method of predicting the equilibrium shape of nanoparticles given the surface energies of the material. RESULTS We review the mathematical formulation and the main applications of Wu...
