  1. 1228. Upconverting and Near-Infrared Emitting Nanoparticles: From Synthetic Strategies to Potential Applications
    Prof. Eva Hemmer (University of Ottawa)

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Lanthanide-based nanostructures are well known for their outstanding optical properties that are based on the electronic configuration of the trivalent lanthanide ions (Ln3+), which is characterized by an incompletely filled 4f shell, located inside the complete 5s2 and 5p6 shells. This results in a shielding of valence electrons, which are therefore only weakly affected by the environment....

    Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    The ability to controllably layer atomically thin crystals into custom-made materials holds promise for realizing physical systems with distinct properties, previously inaccessible. The experimental results described in this talk seek to uncover the unique nature of the charge carriers in such few-atoms-thick materials as well as effects that interlayer coupling and disorder have on their...

    Kidney stone disease is a urological disorder that affects 10% of the human population, resulting in considerable pain and potential renal failure. It is known that certain macromolecules, such as osteopontin (OPN), can limit the formation of calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystals, the major constituent of kidney stones. An explanation for this effect is provided by the Cabrera-Vermilyea...

  4. 1183. Maximizing electrophoretic mobility differences among polymorphic materials
    Kristin Poduska (Memorial University of Newfoundland)

    Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)
    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    Physical separation of different polymorphs is a serious experimental challenge, but success would help efforts in applications as diverse as drug discovery, environmental remediation, and cultural conservation. To meet this challenge, we demonstrate a proof-of-principle method to separate polymorphic materials by tuning their electrophoretic mobility differences. Our test case involved two...
