Quantitative scattering of melanin solutions
Jennifer Riesz, Joel Gilmore, Paul Meredith
The optical scattering coefficient of a dilute, well solubilised eumelanin solution has been accurately measured as a function of incident wavelength, and found to contribute less…
Superconductivity in Metal-mixed Ion-Implanted Polymer Films
A. P. Micolich, E. Tavenner, B. J. Powell +4
Ion-implantation of normally insulating polymers offers an alternative to depositing conjugated organics onto plastic films to make electronic circuits. We used a 50 keV nitrogen i…
Towards Structure-Property-Function Relationships for Eumelanin
Paul Meredith, B. J. Powell, Jennifer Riesz +3
We discuss recent progress towards the establishment of important structure-property-function relationships in eumelanins - key functional bio-macromolecular systems responsible fo…
Chemical and Structural Disorder in Eumelanins - A Possible Explanation for Broad Band Absorbance
M. Linh Tran, B. J. Powell, Paul Meredith
We report the results of an experimental and theoretical study of the electronic and structural properties of a key eumelanin precursor - 5,6,-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DH…
A Quantum Yield Map for Synthetic Eumelanin
Stephen Nighswander-Rempel, Jennifer Riesz, Joel Gilmore +1
The quantum yield of synthetic eumelanin is known to be extremely low and it has recently been reported to be dependent on excitation wavelength. In this paper, we present quantum…
Quantitative Fluorescence Excitation Spectra for Synthetic Eumelanin
Stephen Nighswander-Rempel, Jennifer Riesz, Joel Gilmore +2
Previously reported excitation spectra for eumelanin are sparse and inconsistent. Moreover, these studies have failed to account for probe beam attenuation and emission reabsorptio…
Determination of thermal and optical parameters of melanins by photopyroelectric spectroscopy
J. E. de Albuquerque, C. Giacomantonio, A. White +1
Photopyroelectric spectroscopy (PPE) was used to study the thermal and optical properties of electropolymerized melanins. The photopyroelectric intensity signal and its phase were…
Holographic Digital Fourier Microscopy for Selective Imaging of Biological Tissue
Sergey A. Alexandrov, P. Meredith, T. J. McIntyre +1
This paper presents an application of digital Fourier holography for selective imaging of scatterers with different sizes in turbid media such as biological tissues. A combination…
