Herein, we report on the growth of a novel photoanode material composed of self-ordered, vertically oriented nanotube arrays of titanium palladium mixed oxynitride films via anodization of Ti-Pd alloy in an electrolyte solution of formamide containing NH(4)F at room temperature, followed by annealing in an ammonia atmosphere. The nanostructure topology was found to depend on both the anodization time and the applied voltage. Our results demonstrate the ability to grow mixed oxynitride nanotube array films that are several micrometers thick. The Ti-Pd oxynitride nanotube array films were utilized In solar-spectrum water photoelectrolysis, demonstrating a photocurrent density of 1.9 mA/cm(2) and a similar to 5-fold increase in the photoconversion efficiency under AM 1.5 illumination (100 mW/cm(2), 1.0 M KOH) compared to pure TiO(2) nanotubes fabricated and tested under the same conditions; The obtained efficiency is among the highest reported values for a TiO(2) nanotube-based photoelectrochemical cell. This enhancement in the photoconversion efficiency is related to the synergistic effects of Pd alloying, nitrogen doping, and the unique structural properties of the fabricated nanotube arrays.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WOS:000292055200093</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Allam, Nageh K.

These clusters show a distinct absorption onset at 1.3 eV corresponding to the opening of an electronic gap within the conduction band (HOMO-LUMO gap). Here we report on the radiative properties of these molecular-like Bald clusters. By using a combination of different detectors with sensitivities in the visible to the infrared (2.0-0.8 eV), a broad luminescence extending over this entire spectral range was observed. Our results further suggest that the luminescence can be separated into two bands with maxima around 1.5 and 1.15 eV indicating that radiative recombination between the ground state and two distinctively different excited states takes place. The: origin of the observed luminescence bands is discussed using a solid state as well as a molecular model for the electronic structure and relaxation of the clusters. The total quantum yield of the luminescence: as measured at ambient temperature was approximated to be about (3.5 +/- 1.0) x 10(-3).</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WOS:000174792600011</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Link, S Beeby, A FitzGerald, S El-Sayed, MA Schaaff, TG Whetten, RL</style></notes><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1021/jp014259v</style></electronic-resource-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Braun, Markus</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burda, Clemens</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">El-Sayed, Mostafa A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Variation of the thickness and number of wells in the CdS/HgS/CdS quantum dot quantum well system</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Physical Chemistry A</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2001</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jun</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">105</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5548-5551</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1089-5639</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">We report on the first chemically prepared multilayer quantum well structure in a semiconductor quantum dot. By subsequent precipitation of HgS, CdS, HgS, and again CdS from aqueous solution, we obtained nanoparticles which contain two HBS quantum wells separated by a double layer of CdS. The:core:and the capping material is also CdS. The two-well system was characterized by absorption and emission spectroscopy, which clearly reveal the formation of a two-well and not a single double-layered quantum well system. This system allows to study the interaction of quantum wells that are separated by different thicknesses of the CdS barriers. The radiative and relaxation dynamics of the new two-well system are compared with the dynamics of systems having a single-layer well and a double-layer well system.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WOS:000169371200006</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Braun, M Burda, C El-Sayed, MA</style></notes><electronic-resource-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1021/jp010002l</style></electronic-resource-num></record></records></xml>
