The development of hybrid materials with unique optical properties has been a challenge for the creation of high-performance composites. The improved photophysical and photochemical properties observed when fluorophores interact with clay minerals, as well as the accessibility and easy handling of such natural materials, make these nanocomposites attractive for designing novel optical hybrid materials. Here, we present a method of promoting this interaction by conjugating dyes with chitosan. The fluorescent properties of conjugated dye–montmorillonite (MMT) hybrids were similar to those of free dye–MMT hybrids. Moreover, we analyzed the relationship between the changes in optical properties of the dye interacting with clay and its structure and defined the physical and chemical mechanisms that take place upon dye–MMT interactions leading to the optical changes. Conjugation to chitosan additionally ensures stable adsorption on clay nanoplatelets due to the strong electrostatic interaction between chitosan and clay. This work thus provides a method to facilitate the design of solid-state hybrid nanomaterials relevant for potential applications in bioimaging, sensing and optical purposes.

ABSTRACTResistive memory materials and devices (often called memristors) are an area of intense research, with metal/metal oxide/metal resistive elements a prominent example of such devices. Electroforming (the formation of a conductive filament in the metal oxide layer) represents one of the often necessary steps of resistive memory device fabrication that results in large and poorly controlled variability in device performance. In this contribution we present a numerical investigation of the electroforming process. In our model, drift and Ficks and Soret diffusion processes are responsible for movement of vacancies in the oxide material. Simulations predict filament formation and qualitatively agreed with a reduction of the forming voltage in structures with a top electrode. The forming and switching results of the study are compared with numerical simulations and show a possible pathway toward more repeatable and controllable resistive memory devices.

ABSTRACTAll but two of the fifteen physical and chemical mechanisms which are necessary to explain all the varied causes of color apply in one way or another to glass. These fifteen causes of color derive from a variety of physical and chemical mechanisms and are summarized in five groups with concentration on those mechanisms that apply to glass and the related glazes and enamels. Vibrations and simple excitations explain the colors of incandescence (e.g. flames, hot glass), gas excitations (neon tube, aurora), and vibrations and rotations (blue ice, water, glasses based on water). Ligand field effect colors are seen in transition metal compounds (turquoise, chrome oxide green, glasses based on copper sulfate) and impurities (ruby, emerald, many doped glasses). Molecular orbitals explain the colors of organic compounds (indigo, chlorophyll, organic glasses) and charge transfer compounds (blue sapphire, lapis lazuli, “beer-bottle” brown and chromate glasses). Energy bands are involved in the colors of metals and alloys (gold, brass, glassy metals), of semiconductors (cadmium yellow, vermillion, chalcogenide glasses), doped semiconductors (blue and yellow diamond), and color centers (amethyst, topaz, irradiated glass). Geometrical and physical optics are involved in the colors derived from dispersive refraction (rainbow, green flash, glass prism spectrum), scattering (blue sky, blue eyes, red sunset, ruby gold and opal glasses), interference (soap bubbles, iridescent beetles, cracks in glasses, interference filters), and diffraction (the corona aureole, diffraction grating spectrum).
