Distinguishing the Monomer to Cluster Phase Transition in Concentrated Lysozyme Solutions by Studying the Temperature Dependence of the Short-Time Dynamics

January 25, 2012
Author(s)
Peter Falus, Lionel Porcar, Emiliano Fratini, Wei-Ren Chen, Antonio Faraone, Kunlun Hong, Piero Baglioni, Yun Liu
Recently experiments that combine both small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and Neutron Spin Echo (NSE) have demonstrated that dynamic clusters can form in concentrated lysozyme solutions when a right combination of a short-ranged attraction and long

Spatial Distribution of Intra-Molecular Water and Polymeric Components in Polyelectrolyte Dendrimers Revealed by Small Angle Scattering Investigations

October 14, 2011
Author(s)
Bin Wu, Xin Li, Changwoo Do, Tae-Hwan Kim, Chwen-Yang Shew, Yun Liu, Jun Yang, Kunlun Hong, Lionel Porcar, Chun-Yu Chen, Emily L. Liu, Gregory S. Smith, Kenneth W. Herwig, Wei-Ren Chen
An experimental scheme using contrast variation small angle neutron scattering technique (SANS), is developed to investigate the structural characteristics of amine-terminated poly(amidoamine) dendrimers (PAMAM) solutions. Using this methodology, we

Hydrogen Spillover Effect of Pt-Doped Activated Carbon Studied by Inelastic Neutron Scattering

August 24, 2011

Cheng-Si Tsao, Yun Liu, Haw-Yeu Chuang, Huan-Hsiung Tseng, Tsan-Yao Chen, Chien-Hung Chen, Ming-Sheng Yu, Qixiu Li, Angela Lueking, Sow-Hsin Chen
We employed inelastic neutron scattering (INS) method to directly monitor the change of molecular hydrogen in the Pt-doped activated carbon (Pt/AC) samples and provide very conclusive evidence that significant hydrogen atoms can diffuse to the carbon

Hierarchical Nanomorphologies Promote Exciton Dissociation in Polymer/Fullerene Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells

August 8, 2011
Author(s)
Wei Chen, Tao Xu, Feng He, Wei Wang, Cheng Wang, Joseph Strzalka, Yun Liu, Jianguo Wen, Dean J. Miller, Jihua Chen, Kunlun Hong, Luping Yu, Seth B. Darling
PTB7 semiconducting copolymer comprising thieno[3,4-b]thiophene and benzodithiophene alternating repeat units set a historic record of solar energy conversion efficiency (7.4%) in polymer:fullerene bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. To further improve

Tetrathienoanthracene-based Copolymers for Efficient Solar Cells

February 18, 2011
Author(s)
Feng He, Wei Wang, Wei Chen, Tao Xu, Seth B. Darling, Joseph Strzalka, Yun Liu, Luping Yu
A series of semiconducting copolymers (PTAT-x) containing extended π-conjugated tetrathienoanthracene units have been synthesized. It was shown that the extended conjugation system enhanced the π-π stacking in the polymer/ PC 61BM blend films and

Theoretical Studies on the Structure of Interacting Colloidal Suspensions by Spin-Echo Small Angle Neutron Scattering

May 7, 2010
Author(s)
Xin Li, Chwen-Yang Shew, Yun Liu, Roger Pynn, Emily Liu, Kenneth W. Herwig, Gregory S. Smith, J. L. Robertson, Wei-Ren Chen
The application of the spin-echo small angle neutron scattering (SESANS) technique for structural characterization of interacting colloidal suspensions is considered in this work. The framework to calculate the theoretical SESANS correlation function is

Lysozyme Protein Solution with an Intermediate Range Order Structure

November 10, 2009
Author(s)
Yun Liu, Lionel Porcar, Jinhong Chen, Wei-Ren Chen, Peter Falus, Antonio Faraone, Emiliano Fratini, Piero Baglioni
The formation of equilibrium clusters has been studied in both prototypical colloidal system and protein solution. The appearance of a low-Q correlation peak in small angle scattering patterns of lysozyme solution was attributed to the cluster-cluster
