	abstract = {The research and development of new substrates for use in surface-enhanced spectroscopy is primarily motivated by the ability to tune such substrates to provide maximum signal enhancement and therefore lower detection limits. We examined a series of multilayer nanoparticle (NP) arrays with between 1 and 17 NP layers using two nonlinear optical (NLO) techniques: Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and second harmonic generation (SHG). The CARS signal of oxazine 720 was monitored at 1600 cm(-1) using a 709-nm pump beam and an 800-nm stokes beam. Maximum signal was observed for 11 NP layers and is attributed to the matching of the CARS signal and the substrate surface plasmon excitation at 637 nm. The CARS signal for the 3000-cm(-1) C-H stretching vibration showed maximum enhancement at 13 NP layers. The maximum SHG signal enhancement occurred at 13 NP layers, with a 50-fold overall enhancement of the SHG signal. We demonstrate that the NP-containing substrates can be tuned to provide maximum NLO response based on the number of NP depositions and the wavelength(s) involved in the NLO experiments. These multilayer NP arrays yield a stable and modular spectroscopic substrate advantageous for a variety of surface-enhanced spectroscopic techniques.},

	abstract = {The family of hydroxypyrones and close congeners, the hydroxypyridinones, is a particularly versatile class of ligands. The most widely investigated for medicinal applications are the 3-hydroxy-4-pyrones and the 1,2- 3,2- and 3,4-hydroxypyridinones. Key features of these ligands are: a six-membered ring, with a ring N or O atom either ortho or para to a ketone group, and two ortho exocyclic oxygen atoms. Readily functionalizable, the hydroxypyrones and hydroxypyridinones allow one to achieve a range of di- and trivalent metallocomplex stabilities and can include tissue or molecular targeting features by design. Research over the past several decades has greatly expanded the array of ligands that are the subject of this critical review. Ligand applications as diverse as iron removal or supplementation, contrast agents in imaging applications, and mobilization of undesirable excess metal ions will be surveyed herein.},

	abstract = {The adsorption of CO2 gas on the MgO (100) crystal surface is investigated using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. This allows us to obtain adsorption isotherms that can be compared with experiment, as well as to explore the possible formation of monolayers of different densities. Our model calculations agree reasonably well with the available experimental results. We find a {\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} low-density {\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} adsorbed monolayer where each CO2 molecule is bound to two Mg2+ ions on the MgO substrate. We also observe the formation of monolayers of higher density, where some of the CO2 molecules have rotated and tilted to expose additional binding sites. Low-temperature simulations of both the low- and high-density monolayers reveal that these states are very close in energy, with binding energies of approximately 7 kcal/mol at T=5 K. The high-density monolayer given by our model has a density that is significantly less than the reported experimental value. We discuss this discrepancy and offer suggestions for resolving it.
