Spatial diffusion reflection (DR) measurements of gold nanorods (GNR) were recently suggested as a simple and highly sensitive non-invasive and non-ionizing method for real-time cancer detection. In this paper we demonstrate that wavelength dependent DR measurements enable the spectral red-shift observation of highly concentrated GNR. By conjugating targeting moieties to the GNR, large density ...

The optoelectronic characteristics of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)/ZnO flexible photodetectors are investigated. A red-shift effect and improved photocurrent properties of the flexible devices are demonstrated. MoS2 doping improved the photocurrent properties and conductivity. The photocurrent/dark current ratios of pure ZnO and MoS2/ZnO flexible photodetectors were 10(3) and 10(4), respectively...

Bulky 4-tritylphenylethynyl substituted boradiazaindacene with pure red emission, relatively large Stokes shift, high fluorescence quantum yield, and low self-quenching was efficiently synthesized and qualified as a potential EL dopant.

We consider possible tests of the Einstein Equivalence Principle for quantum-mechanical vacuum energies by evaluating the Lamb shift transition in a class of non-metric theories of gravity described by the T Hǫµ formalism. We compute to lowest order the associated red shift and time dilation parameters, and discuss how (high-precision) measurements of these quantities could provide new informat...

The ratiometric fluorescent sensor based on furoquinoline has been designed and synthesized, and not only exhibits a large Stokes shift of 199 nm in a mixture of C(2)H(5)OH-H(2)O (v/v = 8 ratio 2, 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH = 7.3), but can selectively detect zinc ions in the presence of competing metal ions with a red-shift of 75 nm; moreover, cell stain experiments show that can readily reveal a chang...

A new chemosensor molecule 3 based on a ferrocene-quinoxaline dyad recognizes mercury (II) cations in acetonitrile solution. Upon recognition, an anodic shift of the ferrocene/ferrocenium oxidation peaks and a progressive red-shift (Δλ=140 nm) of the low-energy band, are observed in its absorption spectrum. This change in the absorption spectrum is accompanied by a colour change from orange to ...
