Graphene nanoribbons synthesized by the bottom-up approach with optical energy gaps in the visible are investigated by means of optical spectroscopy. The optical absorption and fluorescence spectra of two graphene nanoribbons with different…

Owing to its large bandgap of 5.5 eV, diamond can host a large variety of optically active defects (color centers). The most developed ones are two defects comprising in their structure an impurity atom (nitrogen or silicon), a vacant lattice site,…
We study the ability of porphyrin molecules to cooperate upon adsorption on the sp2 curved surface of carbon nanotube. We discuss the role of the phenyl substituents in the cooperativity of the functionalization reaction. Moreover, a specific…
Brain diseases such as autism and Alzheimer's disease (each inflicting >1% of the world population) involve a large network of genes displaying subtle changes in their expression. Abnormalities in intraneuronal transport have been linked to…

Single particle tracking enables nanoscale investigation of cellular processes. Fluorescent nanodiamond contains nitrogen-vacancy centers as photostable emitters. Background-free imaging and tracking are achievable with nitrogen-vacancy centers…

Non-covalent functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) allows the combination of the remarkable physical properties of these one-dimensional systems with the properties of the functional molecules and, at the same time, modifies the physico…

We investigate the origin of the slow kinetics of functionalization processes in micellar environments. We show that the ionic nature of the surfactants used to solubilize small molecules and nano-objects plays a central role in the slowness of the…
