Abstract The development of two methods using highly exothermic oxidation reactions to synthesize nanostructured oxide particles is described. The first method uses solution combustion to produce a high temperature front that moves through the sample and produces the nanoparticles. For example, Bi 2 O 3 nanoparticles…

Hydrogen retention in the divertor tokamak ASDEX Upgrade is studied by surface analysis and gas balances methods. Comparing carbon and tungsten plasma facing components (PFCs), the deuterium content of deposits at the divertor plates has dropped by a factor of 13. With tungsten PFCs only 0.7% of the puffed hydrogen is…

We study the effects of an in-plane magnetic field on the ground-state properties of both gapless and gapped graphene sheets within random-phase approximation. The critical magnetic field which leads to a fully spin polarized phase increases by decreasing the carrier density at zero gap indicating that no spontaneous…

We have investigated the temperature dependence of an energy transfer (ET) between CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) measuring photoluminescence dynamics in a bilayer structure consisting of differently sized QDs. In the bilayer structure, an effective direct ET from donor QDs to acceptor QDs is realized. The temperature de…
