A significant amount of progress in nanotechnology has been made due to the development
of engineered nanoparticles. The use of metallic nanoparticles for various biomedical …

Reactions of radiation-produced secondary electrons (SEs) with biomacromolecules (eg,
DNA) are considered one of the primary causes of radiation-induced cell death. In this …

Understanding the sources of energy loss in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells is of
outstanding importance for increasing power conversion energy. Herein, we employ a full …

Radiobiological damage is principally triggered by an initial cation and a secondary electron
(SE). We address the fundamental questions: What lesions are first produced in DNA by this …

Halide perovskite nanocrystals (HPNCs) have emerged at the forefront of nanomaterials
research over the past two decades. The physicochemical and optoelectronic properties of …

We examined the reaction of hydroxyl radicals (HO•) and sulfate radical anions (SO4•−),
which is generated by ionizing radiation in aqueous solutions under anoxic conditions, with …

The design and engineering of delayed fluorescent dyes that are able to convert non-
emissive triplet excitons into fluorescent singlet excitons is a challenging task, due to the …

In the framework of a multistep mechanism in which environmental motion triggers
comparatively faster elementary electron-transfer steps and stabilizes hole-transfer products …

Of particular interest in radiation-induced charge transfer processes in DNA is the extent of
hole localization immediately after ionization and subsequent relaxation. To address this, we …

The short-range charge transfer of DNA base triplets has wide application prospects in
bioelectronic devices for identifying DNA bases and clinical diagnostics, and the key to its …
