© 2022 Elsevier B.V.Here, we investigated the structure and upconversion (UC) properties of new-type of single oxide nanosheets, derived from the Er3+/Yb3+ and Tm3+/Yb3+ co-doped Ruddlesden-Popper type layered perovskites, and their layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembled nanofilms. The single oxide nanosheets, obtained by exfoliation of the proton-exchanged K2La2Ti3O10, had the thickness in the range of 2–3 nm indicating good consistency with the theoretical thickness and lateral size from 500 nm up to 2 µm. Er3+/Yb3+, Tm3+/Yb3+ and Tm3+/Er3+co-doped nanosheets were used as building blocks of the multilayer films deposited by layer-by-layer procedure. The LBL films composed of 2.5 % Er3+ + 5 % Yb3+, 2.5 % Tm3+ + 20 % Yb3+, 2.5 % Tm3+ + 20 % Er3+ after 60 sequences have shown a white emission confirmed by the CIE chromaticity diagram. The possible UC energy transfer of LBL films fabricated after 30 sequences using the nanosheets derived from the 2.5 % Er3+ + 5 % Yb3+ co-doped layered perovskites was also suggested. The number of photons participating in the UC process was confirmed as two-photon for both green and red UC emissions due to the 4F9/2 →4I15/2 and 2H11/2, 4S3/2→ 4I15/2 transitions, respectively.

Frequency dependence of the constitutive parameters of causal perfectly matched anisotropic absorbers
Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (1996-12-01)
Perfectly matched layers (PML's), which are employed for mesh truncation in the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) or in finite element methods (FEM's), can be realized by artificial anisotropic materials with properly chosen permittivity and permeability tensors. The tensor constitutive parameters must satisfy the Kramers-Kronig relationships, so that the law of causality holds. These relations are used to relate the real and imaginary parts of the constitutive parameters of the PML media to deduce the a...
Synthesis of New Thienylene Pyrrole Monomers and Their Electropolymerizations
Eken, Serap; Carbas, Buket Bezgin; Akdağ, Akın; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (The Electrochemical Society, 2014-01-01)
In this study, four new 2,5-dithienylpyrroles (SNS) 1-(3-fluoro-phenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole (m-FPTP), 1-(3-chlorophenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole (m-ClPTP), 1-(3-bromo-phenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole (m-BrPTP) and 1-(4-bromo-phenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole (p-BrPTP) containing meta and para substituted benzene ring at the nitrogen atom were synthesized via Paal-Knorr condensation of 1,4-di(2-thienyl)-1,4-butanedione with corresponding halo-substituted anilines. The mon...
Synthesis of Optically Complex, Porous, and Anisometric Polymeric Microparticles by Templating from Liquid Crystalline Droplets
Wang, Xiaoguang; Büküşoğlu, Emre; Miller, Daniel S; Pantoja, Marco A. Bedolla; Xiang, Jie; Lavrentovich, Oleg D; Abbott, Nicholas L (Wiley, 2016-10-25)
It is demonstrated that aqueous dispersions of micrometer-sized liquid crystal (LC) droplets provide the basis of a general and facile methodology for the templated synthesis of spherical and nonspherical polymeric micro-particles with complex internal structure and porosity. Specifically, nematic droplets of reactive (RM257)/nonreactive mesogens with distinct internal configurations are prepared using a range of approaches, the reactive mesogens are photopolymerized, and then the nonreactive mesogens are e...
Preparation of silica coated cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles for the purification of histidine-tagged proteins
Aygar, Gulfem; Kaya, Murat; Özkan, Necati; Kocabıyık, Semra; Volkan, Mürvet (2015-12-01)
Surface modified cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles containing Ni-NTA affinity group were synthesized and used for the separation of histidine tag proteins from the complex matrices through the use of imidazole side chains of histidine molecules. Firstly, CoFe2O4 nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution were prepared in an aqueous solution using the controlled co-precipitation method. In order to obtain small CoFe2O4 agglomerates, oleic acid and sodium chloride were used as dispersants. The CoFe2O4...
Effect of structural isomerism and polymer end group on the pH-stability of hydrogen-bonded multilayers
Erel Göktepe, İrem; Demirel, A. Levent (2011-09-15)
Association of tannic acid (TA) with structurally isomeric poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline) (PIPOX) has been examined at surfaces to understand the effect of different molecular arrangements in a polymer repeating unit of structural isomers on the construction and pH-stability of hydrogen-bonded multilayers. Films were fabricated using layer-by-layer (LbL) technique through hydrogen-bonding interactions primarily between carbonyl groups of neutral polymers and hydroxyl ...
