Modulation of Crystallinity and Optical Properties in Composite Materials Combining Iron Oxide Nanoparticles and Dye-Containing Covalent Organic Frameworks

Just accepted for publication: Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) from the Beuerle Group meet magnetic particles: Roberto Sanchez Naya, Vladimir Stepanenko, Karl Mandel, Florian Beuerle* Modulation of Crystallinity and Optical Properties in Composite Materials Combining Iron Oxide Nano...

Oxidative Precipitation as a Versatile Method to Obtain Ferromagnetic Fe3O4 Nano- and Mesocrystals Adjustable in Morphology and Magnetic Properties.

By using only simple chemicals along with carefully controlling synthesis parameters, a whole zoo of different magnetic iron oxide particle types can be obtained as demonstrated by Tim Granath et. al. in our work that was just accepted by Particle and Particle Systems Characterization, entitled Oxid...

A supraparticle-based five-level-identification tag that switches information

Everyone knows barcodes to store information and scratchcards to hide information. In our latest work, just accepted in Advanced Optical Materials, Franziska Miller et al. transfer these well-known principles to the supraparticle world to generate a supraparticle-based five-level-identification tag ...

AK Mandel thanks for student support in 2020

We sincerely thank all students that were curious enough to check out the new group in Erlangen – the Mandel group - to work with. Your contribution to our many projects was very much appreciated. Great work everybody! Thanks goes to: Hannes Bauer, Jianing Bao, Sara Li Deuso, Frederic Dietrich...
