Abstract This work gives the evidence of the lattice contraction in CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) grown in a glass matrix. The CdSe NCs were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM), optical absorption (OA), and Raman spectroscopy. The average size of CdSe NCs can be estimated by AFM images. Using the OA spectra and th…
Abstract Nanocrystalline and transparent conducting SnO 2 ‐ ZnO films were fabricated by employing an inexpensive, simplified spray technique using a perfume atomizer at relatively low substrate temperature (360±5 °C) compared with conventional spray method. The structural studies reveal that the SnO 2 ‐ZnO films are…
Porous insulators are utilized in the wiring structure of microelectronic devices as a means of reducing, through low dielectric permittivity, power consumption and signal delay in integrated circuits. They are typically based on low density modifications of amorphous SiO2 known as SiCOH or carbon-doped oxides, in whi…
Today, high-ordered micro- and nano-patterned surfaces are widely used in many areas, such as in the preparation of super-thin dielectric films, photonic crystals, antireflective films, super-non-wetting surfaces, bio-compatible surfaces and microelectric devices. Considering the critical fabrication conditions and th…
Abstract The dispersibility of silane‐functionalized alumina nanoparticles (NPs) in syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) was investigated. The Al 2 O 3 NP surface was modified with two different silane coupling agents, (3‐chloropropyl)triethoxysilane and (octyl)triethoxysilane, to create hydrocarbon groups, or their halog…
The authors report experimental studies of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of wurtzite-type GaN and ZnO crystalline samples covered with Ag-nanoparticles. The longitudinal optical phonons consistently exhibit unusually intense Raman enhancement in comparison with other phonons. The anomaly is interpreted by a…
Sr 4 R 2 Ti 4 Nb 6 O 30 (R=Sm and Eu) tungsten bronze ceramics were prepared, and the dielectric properties and ferroelectric transition were investigated together with the crystal structure. A ferroelectric transition peak and a low temperature dielectric relaxation were observed from the curve of permittivity versus…
Photovoltaic conversion was achieved from high-density p-n heterojunctions formed between polymer functionalized n-type single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and underlying p-type Si substrate. Functionalization of SWNTs by amine-rich polymers results in the evolution of tubes from p-type to n-type, and the polyethylen…
We report a room temperature mid-infrared photodetector based on a carbon nanotube-silicon heterojunction nanostructure. The observed mid-infrared band (8–12 μm) in the photocurrent spectrum is consistent with the estimated band gap energy of semiconducting multiwall nanotubes (15 to 30 nm diameter). The fast response…
We report the ultraviolet light emission from ultrathin indium oxide (In2O3) nanowires fabricated by the vapor-liquid-solid method. The high crystalline quality of the samples is confirmed by using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Strong ultraviolet light emission…
Abstract Undoped and cesium‐doped zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have been deposited on sapphire substrate (0001) using the sol–gel method. Films were preheated at 300 °C for 10 min and annealed at 600 and 800 °C for 1 h. The grown thin films were confirmed to be of wurtzite structure using X‐ray diffraction. Surface mor…
The thermal rectification in nanotubes with a mass gradient is studied by reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. We predict a preferred heat flow from light to heavy atoms which differs from the preferential direction in one-dimensional monoatomic systems. This behavior of nanotubes is explained by an…
Black AgSO4, synthesized for the first time by a displacement reaction, differs considerably from anhydrous sulfates of its Group 11 congeners: it has a very small electronic band gap (ca. 0.2 eV) and an anomalously strong one-dimensional antiferromagnetic ordering ( J≈10 meV per Ag), which persists up to the onset of…
The surface passivation properties of thermal-SiO2/plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition SiN stacks on 2.5 Ω cm n-type Czochralski silicon substrates have been investigated. By annealing these stacks in air we achieve surface recombination velocities (SRV) lower than 2.4 cm/s for thin SiO2 layers. We find a clear…
Electrical and gas sensing properties of single-walled carbon nanotube networks functionalized with polyaniline (PANI-SWNTs) were systematically investigated to understand the gas sensing mechanisms and optimize sensing performance. The temperature-dependent electrical resistance and field-effect transistor (FET) tran…
We present the results of an extensive molecular dynamics study of self-interstitial atom (SIA) clusters containing up to 37 defects over a wide range of temperatures in iron. A long simulation time and high statistics of defect jumps allowed a detailed treatment of the data to be performed. Diffusion exhibits a chang…
We elucidate, from thermodynamic arguments, the governing factors of receptor-mediated endocytosis of nanoparticles (NPs). We show that the endocytic energetics specifies a minimal particle size and a minimal ligand density below which endocytosis is not possible. Due to the entropic penalty involved in ligand-recepto…
Abstract A 3D spongy collagen cryogel was prepared using DAS as the cross‐linker. FTIR and CD studies demonstrate that crosslinking is achieved through the reaction of the DAS aldehyde groups with the free amino groups in collagen without affecting the triple helix of collagen. SEM demonstrates that the cryogel has a…
Abstract This work presents a new technique named Raman strain rosette for the micro‐strain measurement of both Raman active and Raman inactive materials. The technique is based on the theoretical model of the carbon nanotube (CNT) strain sensor that applies the resonance and polarization Raman properties of CNTs and…
Ba and Mn doped BiFeO3 prepared through the pyrolysis of xerogel precursors are characterized by powder x-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry, and polarization measurements. Structural studies by x-ray diffraction and transmission…
