• Interesting evidence for template-induced ferroelectric behavior in ultra-thin titanium dioxide films grown on (110) neodymium gallium oxide substrates 

  Deepak, Nitin; Caro, Miguel A.; Keeney, Lynette; Pemble, Martyn E.; Whatmore, Roger W. (Wiley, 2014-01-10)

  The first evidence for room-temperature ferroelectric behavior in anatase-phase titanium dioxide (a-TiO2) is reported. Behavior strongly indicative of ferroelectric characteristics is induced in ultra-thin (20 nm to 80 nm) ...
• Bismuth self-limiting growth of ultrathin BiFeO3 films 

  Deepak, Nitin; Carolan, Patrick; Keeney, Lynette; Zhang, Panfeng F.; Pemble, Martyn E.; Whatmore, Roger W. (American Chemical Society, ACS, 2015-09-11)

  Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) is a widely studied material, because of its interesting multiferroic properties. Bismuth self-limiting growth of single-phase BiFeO3 (BFO) has previously been achieved using molecular beam epitaxy ...
• Development of anisamide-targeted PEGylated gold nanorods to deliver epirubicin for chemo-photothermal therapy in tumour-bearing mice 

  Wang, Limei; Pei, Jin; Cong, Zhongcheng; Zou, Yifang; Sun, Tianmeng; Davitt, Fionán; Garcia-Gil, Adrià; Holmes, Justin D.; O'Driscoll, Caitríona M.; Rahme, Kamil; Guo, Jianfeng (Dove Press, 2019-03-08)

  Background: Gold nanorods (AuNRs), due to the optical and electronic properties namely the surface plasma resonance, have been developed to achieve the light-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) for cancer. However, PTT ...
• Anomalous Z-isomer content in Wittig reaction products from keto-stabilised ylides with ortho-heteroatom substituted benzaldehydes 

  Byrne, Peter A.; Higham, Lee J.; McGovern, Pádraic; Gilheany, Declan G. (Elsevier, 2012-10-02)

  Wittig reaction products of keto-stabilised ylides with ortho-substituted benzaldehydes are found to show significantly higher than expected Z-alkene content (up to 50%) compared to analogous reactions of the same ylides ...
• A convenient and mild chromatography-free method for the purification of the products of Wittig and Appel reactions 

  Byrne, Peter A.; Rajendran, Kamalraj V.; Muldoon, Jimmy; Gilheany, Declan G. (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2012-03-05)

  A mild method for the facile removal of phosphine oxide from the crude products of Wittig and Appel reactions is described. Work-up with oxalyl chloride to generate insoluble chlorophosphonium salt (CPS) yields phosphorus-free ...
