The Self-Assembly of Particles with Isotropic Interactions
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-26)In recent years there has been much interest in the self-assembly of materials. Much of this research has been focused on the self-assembly of particles in solution (colloids), typically on the order of nanometres or ... -
The Self-Assembly of Particles with Isotropic Interactions
(IOP publishing, 2013-07-03)A generic field-theoretic model for the self-assembly of particles with isotropic interactions, motivated by ideas in DNA-mediated colloidal assembly, is presented. A simplest possible system of colloids in explicit ... -
The self-assembly of particles with isotropic interactions: Using DNA coated colloids to create designer nanomaterials
(AIP publishing, 2014-04-03)Self-consistent field theory equations are presented that are suitable for use as a coarse-grained model for DNA coated colloids, polymer-grafted nanoparticles and other systems with approximately isotropic interactions. ... -
Self-association of Oligoquinoline Foldamers Probed by Time-Resolved Fluorescence Anisotropy
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-31)The self-associations of oligoquinoline-based foldamers (OPV-QₙA with n = 4, 8, 17, and 33) terminated at one end with a carboxylic acid (A) and at the other end with the fluorescent dye oligo(phenylene vinylene) (OPV) ... -
Self-healable and reversible liposome leakage by citrate-capped gold nanoparticles probing initial adsorption/desorption induced lipid phase transition
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-10-14)We herein report that the adsorption/desorption of citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) transiently causes leakage in fluid phase DOPC liposomes, while the liposomes do not leak with AuNPs capped with mercaptopropionic ... -
Self-healing metal coordinated hydrogels using nucleotide ligands
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-10-21)A supramolecular gel formed by coordination of Zn2+ with adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is reported. The adenine base, the monophosphate, and Zn2+ are all important for gel formation. Mechanically disrupted gels can re-form ... -
A self-powered multi-broadcasting wireless sensing system realized with an all-in-one triboelectric nanogenerator
(Elsevier, 2019-08)The ubiquitous sensors at the core network of Internet of Things (IoT) have accelerated the realization of micro/nano systems that necessitate not only the development of self-powered sensors but also requires a reliable ... -
Self-powered on-line ion concentration monitor in water transportation driven by triboelectric nanogenerator
(Elsevier, 2019-08)Ion concentration in water is a key criterion for evaluating water quality. In this work, we developed a self-powered on-line ion concentration monitor in water transportation based on impedance matching effect of triboelectric ... -
Semi-Analytic Radiatively Inefficient Accretion Flows in General Gravity
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-05)The Event Horizon Telescope is capable of observing black holes on event-horizon scales and we can use it to explore deviations from General Relativity. We replicate the results of a previous study using a Newtonian ... -
Semiquinone-Bridged bis-Dithiazolyls as Neutral Radical Conductors
(University of Waterloo, 2011-12-21)Radicals are potential building blocks to prepare conductive and magnetic materials. In order to achieve high conductivity, materials displaying a large bandwidth W and a low on-site Coulomb repulsion energy U must be ... -
Sensing guanine and its derivatives: From molecular recognition to applications
(Elsevier, 2020-11)Guanine plays an indispensable role in building nucleic acids, and its derivatives take part in various cellular functions such as regulating biological reactions and signal transduction. Monitoring the levels of guanine ... -
Sensing Parts-per-Trillion Cd2+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ Collectively and Individually Using Phosphorothioate DNAzymes
(American Chemical Society, 2014-05-22)Cadmium, mercury, and lead are collectively banned by many countries and regions in electronic devices due to their extremely high toxicity. To date, no sensing method can detect them as a group and also individually with ... -
Sensing the shape of spacetime: detector response and entanglement harvesting in curved space
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-24)This thesis seeks to understand what information Unruh-DeWitt detectors can gain about the structure of spacetime. By coupling to the quantum state of a field on a curved space, the detectors can gain information about ... -
A sensitive search for dark energy through chameleon scalar fields using neutron interferometry
(IOP Publishing, 2015-01-22)The physical origin of the dark energy, which is postulated to cause the accelerated expansion rate of the universe, is one of the major open questions of cosmology. A large subset of theories postulate the existence of a ... -
