Synthesis and Characterization of Ultrathin Silver Sulfide Nanoplatelets
No full text© 2017 American Chemical Society. We report the synthesis of ultrathin silver sulfide (Ag2S) nanoplatelets (NPLs) synthesized via a one-pot method in ethylene glycol with 3-mercaptopropionic acid serving as both the sulfur precursor and the platelet ligand. The colloidally synthesized nanoplatelets are exceptionally thin, with a thickness of only 3.5 ± 0.2 Å and a 1S exciton Bohr diameter to confinement ratio of ∼12.6. The NPL growth is shown to be quantized by layer thickness using absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses of the NPLs show that they correspond to the (202) plane of the β-Ag2S structure. The PL quantum yield of these NPLs is ∼30%, suggesting their potential use in biomedical imaging. Optoelectronic properties were evaluated via sensitized photocurrent spectroscopy with the resulting spectra closely matching the distinctive absorption spectral shape of the Ag2S NPLs
Monitoring of patients suffering from REM sleep behavior disorder
No full textRapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia that involves involuntary, unwanted, and random movements of a dreaming patient. Typically, these dreams contain violent activities. There is a high likelihood of the patient being injured or hurting his bed-partner as a result of these enactments. Continuous monitoring of sleeping RBD patients can prevent these harmful events through timely intervention. This paper presents a novel method for continuous observation of RBD patients exploiting fine-grained amplitude and phase information of the wireless channel response. The variations in the wireless channel response as a result of different patient movements are assessed and used to identify RBD episodes. The data obtained are classified using a support vector machine and deliver an accuracy level of more than 90%. To the best of authors' knowledge, this is a first attempt at using radio frequency signals to sense RBD in real time
