Publication Metadata only Motion of single terrylene molecules in confined channels of poly(butadiene)-poly(ethylene oxide) diblock copolymer(Amer Chemical Soc, 2009) N/A; Department of Physics; Department of Chemistry; Yorulmaz, Mustafa; Kiraz, Alper; Demirel, Adem Levent; Master Student; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Physics; Department of Chemistry; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Sciences; College of Sciences; N/A; 22542; 6568The motion of terrylene probe molecules in confined PB channels of an asymmetric PB-PEO diblock copolymer has been investigated by single molecule tracking. The one-dimensional diffusion coefficients were found to be significantly smaller and had a narrower distribution compared to two-dimensional diffusion coefficients in PB. The trajectories of some single molecules showed unusual behavior of directed motion where mean square displacement had a parabolic dependence oil lag time. The likely origin of this behavior is discussed in terms of local variations in the PB channel width and the resulting change in the local density. The results show the effect of nonuniformities and heterogeneities in the channels on the motion of single molecules and demonstrate the sensitivity of single molecule tracking in characterizing self-assembled block copolymer morphologies.Publication Metadata only Raman lasing near 650 nm from pure water microdroplets on a superhydrophobic surface(Elsevier Science Bv, 2009) N/A; Department of Physics; N/A; N/A; Department of Physics; Kiraz, Alper; Yorulmaz, Saime Çiğdem; Yorulmaz, Mustafa; Sennaroğlu, Alphan; Faculty Member; Master Student; Master Student; Faculty Member; Department of Physics; College of Sciences; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Sciences; 22542; N/A; N/A; 23851We demonstrate Raman lasing near 650 nm in pure water microdroplets located on a superhydrophobic surface. In the experiments, stationary, pure water microdroplets were prepared on a superhydrophobic surface and excited by a pulsed, frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser at 532 nm. Intense laser emission was observed at frequencies corresponding to the whispering gallery mode resonances of the water microdroplets near 650 nm where Raman resonances due to OH-stretching bonds of water are located. On-off behavior was observed during lasing and the average temporal inter-burst separation was determined from the time-dependent intensity traces., Our results can find applications in the development of novel organic light emitters for short-haul communication systems, and in the spectroscopic characterization of water microdroplets on a surface.
