Highlight in
2007
Our review article with Peidong Yang's group on
one-dimensional nanostructures (Younan Xia, Peidong
Yang, Yugang Sun, Yiying Wu, Brian Mayers, Byron Gates,
Yadong Yin, Frank Kim and Haoquan Yan, Advanced
Materials, 2003, 15, 353-389) was selected
as the ISI
Current Classic in Materials Science for
December 2007. This article has received >1700
citations, and had the greatest absolute increase in
citations of all materials science papers, see
http://www.in-cites.com/currentclassics/december2007.html).
Our work on the use gold nanocages as contrast agents
for photoacoustic tomography (Xinmai
Yang, Sara Skrabalak, Zhi-Yuan Li, Younan Xia, and
Lihong Wang, Nano Letters 2007, 7,
3798-3702) was highlighted in Nature Photonics, January
2008, p. 7.
The Xia group
relocated from the University of Washington in Seattle to
Washington University in St. Louis over the summer.
Jesse McCann passed his final exam on July 24th and
became the eighth Ph.D. of the Xia group. He embarked on his journey to pursue
an M.D. degree at the Albert Einstein College in New York City.
Benjamin Wiley
passed his final exam on June 9th and became the seventh
Ph.D. of the Xia group. He is now a postdoctoral
fellow in Professor George M.
Whitesides group at Harvard University.
Joseph McLellan passed his final exam on April 6th and
became the sixth Ph.D. of the Xia group. He now works
as a research scientist at Nano-Terra in the Boston
area.
Our work on photothermal cancer treatment using immuno
gold nanocage (Jingyi Chen, Danling Wang, Jiefeng Xi,
Leslie Au, Andy Siekkinen, Addie Warsen, Zhi-Yuan Li,

Spectra (May, 2007) under the title "Silver
nanostructures with unique optical properties created".
Our work on the dependence of SERS activity of a
supported Ag nanocube on laser polarization (Joseph
McLellan, Andy Siekkinen and Younan Xia, Nano Letters,
2007, 7, 1013-1017) was highlight as
Editor's Choice in Science, 2007, Vol.
316, p.20.
Our work on the synthesis of hexathiapentacene (HTP)
single-crystal nanowires and fabrication of field-effect
transistors (Alejandro Briseno,
Stefan Mannsfeld, Xianmao Lu, Yujie Xiong, Samson Jenekhe, Zhenan Bao and Younan Xia, Nano
Letters, 2007, 7, 668-675 was
highlighted in Nano Today, 2007, Vol. 2,
P. 9.
Our feature article on the synthesis
of one-dimensional nanowires of metals (Jingyi Chen, Ben
Wiley and Younan Xia, Langmuir, 2007,
23, 4120-4129) was
featured on the cover.
Alejandro Briseno has won three awards this year:
1. Excellence in Graduate Polymer Science Research Award
- ACS Chicago (2007).
2. 2007 MRS Graduate Student Silver Award.
3. 2007 Best Poster Award at the Materials and Devices
for Information Technology Research (CMDITR) Retreat and
Expo.
Our work on the synthesis of
palladium icosahedrons by blocking oxidative etching
with citrate or citric acid (Yujie Xiong, Joseph
McLellan, Yadong Yin and Younan Xia, Angewandte
