    There was an error in eqn (3) which was reproduced from the literature and used for the interpretation of the results. The calculations (using the equations from an original work from 1987) were done according the correct version of eqn (3) presented below:. (Table Presented). © 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

    Catalyst-free site-specific surface modifications of nanocrystalline diamond films via microchannel cantilever spotting
    (London : RSC Publishing, 2016) Davydova, Marina; de los Santos Pereira, Andres; Bruns, Michael; Kromka, Alexander; Ukraintsev, Egor; Hirtz, Michael; Rodriguez-Emmenegger, Cesar
    The properties of nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films offer great potential for the creation of various sensing and photonic devices. A great challenge in order to materialize such applications lies in achieving the micrometrically resolved functionalization of NCD surfaces. In the present work, we introduce a facile approach to meet this challenge employing the novel strain-promoted alkyne–azide cycloaddition “click” chemistry reaction, a catalyst-free ligation protocol compatible with biomolecules. The ability to achieve well-resolved multicomponent patterns with high reproducibility is demonstrated, paving the way for the fabrication of novel devices based on micropatterned NCD films.

    Graphene and silicene quantum dots for nanomedical diagnostics
    (Cambridge : RSC, 2019) Drissi, L. B.; Ouarrad, H.; Ramadan, F. Z.; Fritzsche, W.
    In the present work, the prominent effects of edge functionalization, size variation and base material on the structural, electronic and optical properties of diamond shaped graphene and silicene quantum dots are investigated. Three functional groups, namely (-CH3, -OH and -COOH) are investigated using the first principles calculations based on the density functional, time-dependent density functional and many-body perturbation theories. Both the HOMO-LUMO energy gap, the optical absorption and the photoluminescence are clearly modulated upon functionalization compared to the H-passivated counterparts. Besides the functional group, the geometric distortion induced in some QDs also influences their optical features ranging from near ultra-violet to near infra-red. All these results indicate that edge-functionalizations provide a favorable key factor for adjusting the optoelectronic properties of quantum dots for a wide variety of nanomedical applications, including in vitro and in vivo bioimaging in medical diagnostics and therapy.
