We have elucidated the mechanism of CO oxidation catalyzed by gold nanoparticles through first-principle density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. Calculations on selected model show that the low-coordinated Au atoms of the Au(29) nanoparticle carry slightly negative charges, which enhance the O(2) binding energy…

In this work, we report the near-infrared emission properties of Tm(3+)-Er(3+) codoped tellurite TeO(2)-WO(3)-PbO glasses under 794 nm excitation. A broad emission from 1350 to 1750 nm corresponding to the Tm(3+) and Er(3+) emissions is observed. The full width at half-maximum of this broadband increases with increasi…

Thin films of zinc phthalocyanine have been deposited on KBr and glass substrates by the thermal evaporation method and characterized by the x-ray diffraction, optical, infrared and Raman techniques. The observed x-ray diffraction and infrared absorption spectra of as-deposited thin films suggest the presence of an α…

We present a new route to the synthesis of nitrogen doped single-walled nanotubes (CN x -SWNTs) based on laser vaporization technique. Using spatially resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy (SR-EELS), we measure the incorporation of nitrogen in SWNTs bundles as well as in individual tubes and investigate its atomi…

Phase change materials in phase change random access memory (PRAM) undergo very high electrical stress as well as thermal stress during operation. These can cause intrinsic problems in stability of the PRAM devices. We investigate the stability of Ge2Sb2Te5, the most common phase change material for PRAM, under electr…

The ultraviolet (UV) emission from the Au-coated ZnO films was greatly enhanced and the visible emission was significantly suppressed compared with the un-coated ZnO films. Great changes in photoluminescence of ZnO films are attributed to the electron transfer between conduction band and defect levels through the loca…
