The control of luminous radiation has extremely important implications for modern and future
technologies as well as in medicine. In this Review, we detail chemical structures and their …

Within the scope of nonlinear optics, optical power limiting (OPL) materials are commonly
regarded as an important class of compounds which can protect the delicate optical sensors …

During the past five years there has been considerable progress in the design of organic
materials for optical power limiting. Among the more promising of the new material …

There is considerable interest in finding materials having large yet fast nonlinearities. This
interest, driven primarily by the search for materials for all-optical switching and sensor …

Abstract Monolayer-protected Au, Ag, and Au: Ag alloy nanoclusters have been synthesized
using octanethiol and octadecanethiol as cap** agents. The particle-size distribution is …

Full and shortened single-walled and multiple-walled carbon nanotubes were suspended in
water to form stable suspensions in the presence of a surfactant. Optical limiting properties …

This contribution presents an overview of the structural features and third-order optical non-
linearities of the principal classes of transition heterothiometallic clusters, and demonstrates …

Metal and metal sulfide nanoparticles are prepared using a method that is based on the
rapid expansion of supercritical fluid solution (RESS) into a liquid solution and characterized …

In recent years, the assembly of supramolecular structures from preformed metal clusters
has been the focus of intense research.[1] So far, several preformed metal clusters have …

High yields of nanocrystals at ambient temperaturehave been attained for several inorganic
salts such as ZnS and CuO. The authors report one‐step, solid‐state reactions between …
