In this work we conduct a transient heat conduction experiment with an aqueous suspension of nanoparticle disks of Laponite JS, a sol forming grade, using laser light interferometry. The image sequence in time is used to measure thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of the suspension. Imaging of the temperature distribution is facilitated by the dependence of refractive index of the suspension on temperature itself. We observe that with the addition of 4 volume % of nano-disks in water, thermal conductivity of the suspension increases by around 30%. A theoretical model for thermal conductivity of the suspension of anisotropic particles by Fricke as well as by Hamilton and Crosser explains the trend of data well. In turn, it estimates thermal conductivity of the Laponite nanoparticle itself, which is otherwise difficult to measure in a direct manner. We also measure viscosity of the nanoparticle suspension using a concentric cylinder rheometer. Measurements are seen to follow quite well, the theoretical relation for viscosity of suspensions of oblate particles that includes up to two particle interaction. This result rules out the presence of clusters of particles in the suspension. The effective viscosity and thermal diffusivity data show that the shape of the particle has a role in determining enhancement of thermophysical properties of the suspension.

We present theoretical calculations for the absorption properties of protein-coated gold nanoparticles on graphene and graphite substrates. As the substrate is far away from nanoparticles, numerical results show that the number of protein bovine seru
m molecules molecules aggregating on gold surfaces can be quantitatively determined for gold nanoparticles with arbitrary size by means of the Mie theory and the absorption spectra. The presence of graphitic substrate near protein-conjugated gold nanoparticles substantially enhances the red shift of the surface plasmon resonances of the nanoparticles. Our findings show that graphene and graphite provide the same absorption band when the distance between the nanoparticles and the substrate is large. However at shorter distances, the resonant wavelength peak of graphene-particle system differs from that of graphite-particle system. Furthermore, the influence of the chemical potential of graphene on the optical spectra is also investigated.
Conducting materials typically exhibit either diffusive or ballistic charge transport. However, when electron-electron interactions dominate, a hydrodynamic regime with viscous charge flow emerges (1-13). More stringent conditions eventually yield a
quantum-critical Dirac-fluid regime, where electronic heat can flow more efficiently than charge (14-22). Here we observe heat transport in graphene in the diffusive and hydrodynamic regimes, and report a controllable transition to the Dirac-fluid regime at room temperature, using carrier temperature and carrier density as control knobs. We introduce the technique of spatiotemporal thermoelectric microscopy with femtosecond temporal and nanometre spatial resolution, which allows for tracking electronic heat spreading. In the diffusive regime, we find a thermal diffusivity of $sim$2,000 cm$^2$/s, consistent with charge transport. Remarkably, during the hydrodynamic time window before momentum relaxation, we observe heat spreading corresponding to a giant diffusivity up to 70,000 cm$^2$/Vs, indicative of a Dirac fluid. These results are promising for applications such as nanoscale thermal management.
We present a simple method to prove the presence of an organic shell around silver nanoparticles. This method is based on the comparison between optical extinction measurements of isolated nanoparticles and Mie calculations predicting the expected wa
velength of the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance of the nanoparticles with and without the presence of an organic layer. This method was applied to silver nanoparticles which seemed to be well protected from oxidation. Further experimental characterization via Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) measurements allowed to identify this protective shell as ethylene glycol. Combining LSPR and SERS measurements could thus give proof of both presence and identification for other plasmonic nanoparticles surrounded by organic shells.
A kinetic Monte Carlo approach is applied to studying shape instability of nanowires that results in their breaking up into chains of nanoparticles. Our approach can be used to explore dynamical features of the process that correspond to experimental
findings, but that cannot be interpreted by continuum mechanisms reminiscent of the description of the Plateau-Rayleigh instability in liquid jets. For example, we observe long-lived dumbbell-type fragments and other typical non-liquid-jet characteristics of the process, as well as confirm the observed lattice-orientation dependence of the breakup process of single-crystal nanowires. We provide snapshots of the process dynamics, and elaborate on the nanowire-end effects, as well as on the morphology of the resulting nanoparticles.
A salient feature of topological phases are surface states and many of the widely studied physical properties are directly tied to their existence. Although less explored, a variety of topological phases can however similarly be distinguished by thei
r response to localized flux defects, resulting in the binding of modes whose stability can be traced back to that of convectional edge states. The reduced dimensionality of these objects renders the possibility of arranging them in distinct geometries, such as arrays that branch or terminate in the bulk. We show that the prospect of hybridizing the modes in such new kinds of channels poses profound opportunities in a dynamical context. In particular, we find that creating junctions of $pi$-flux chains or extending them as function of time can induce transistor and stop-and-go effects. Pending controllable initial conditions certain branches of the extended defect array can be actively biased. Discussing these physical effects within a generally applicable framework that relates to a variety of established artificial topological materials, such as mass-spring setups and LC circuits, our results offer an avenue to explore and manipulate new transport effects that are rooted in the topological characterization of the underlying system.
