Novel gold nanodogbones (GDBs) are successfully fabricated using a simple seeded mediated growth (SMG) method. The shapes of GDBs depend on the amount of added vitamin C solvent. The amount of vitamin C solvent was varied from 10 to 40 µl to investigate the influence of vitamin C solvent on the GDBs. It is found that…

Carbon nanotubes are assembled into dense, vertically aligned arrays on substrates by using capillary forces. Modulating the interactions between the nanotubes and the underlying substrate provides control over the assembly of the nanotube array; capillary forces can either cause bending (left) or translation (right)…

The transmission of light through a thin Ag film with a periodic subwavelength hole array can be influenced by the presence of the externally applied magnetic field H. Using a three-dimensional finite element method, we show that the spectral locations of the transmission peak resonances can be shifted by varying the…

Lead zirconate titanate (Pb(1.1)(Zr(0.52)Ti(0.48))O(3)) thin films of thickness 260 nm on Pt/Ti/SiO(2)/Si substrates were densified by 2.45 GHz microwave annealing. The PZT thin films were annealed at various annealing temperatures from 400 to 700 °C for 30 min. X-ray diffraction showed that the pyrochlore phase was t…
