The process of binding silica to P25 at the molecular level is called band bending, and Huma Jafry, a graduate student in Barron’s lab, discovered it.

The stimulated diffuse band radiation of molecular potassium generated by the energy-polling effect is reported.

Such a molecular array switch has advantages of facility due to the acid-base neutralization and broad-band sensitivity due to the simultaneous response to different excitation wavelengths.
