Nano Au-decorated boron nitride nanotubes: Conductance modification and field-emission enhancement
(2008)
This letter reports the electrical and field-emissionproperties of Au-decorated boron nitride nanotubes (Au-BNNTs). The insulating BNNTs become metallic after Au coating as the Au coverage exceeds a critical value. The Au ...
Molecular Engineering of perylene derivatives for opto-electronic applications
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Physics, 2010)
The overall objective of this material science study is to investigate the physical, chemical
and optical properties of perylene derivatives with a view to understanding how these properties
affect their applications in ...
Raman study of phonon modes in bismuth pyrochlores
(2010)
The Raman spectra of the cubic bismuth pyrochlores Bi3/2Zn0.92Nb3/2O6.92, Bi3/2ZnTa3/2O7, Bi3/2MgNb3/2O7, and Bi3/2MgTa3/2O7 have been measured at room temperature. The frequencies of the Raman modes, obtained from ...
Photonic molecules modes in resonantly coupled spherical microcavities with semiconductor nanocrystals
(2005)
We present a detailed study of the localized coupled-cavity modes in a photonic molecule formed from two dielectric spherical microcavities with CdTe nanocrystals, which show a multi-peak narrowband modal structure resulting ...
Nonlinear Optical Properties of Graphene and Carbon Nanotube Composites
(InTech Europe, 2011)
The rapid development of nanoscience and nanotechnology provides lots of new opportunities for nonlinear optics. A growing number of nanomaterials have been shown to possess remarkable nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, ...
Ab initio theory for current-induced molecular switching: Melamine on Cu(001)
(2013)
Melamine on Cu(001) is mechanically unstable under the current of a scanning tunneling microscope tip and can switch among configurations. However, these are not equally accessible, and the switching critical current depends ...
Homologous size-extension of hybrid vanadate capsules - Solid state structures, solution stability and surface deposition
(2014)
The dimensions and cavity sizes of the molecular capsules with the general formula [V10O18L4]10- can be controlled modularly through the nature of the bifunctional, rigid organophosphonate ligands L1 and L2 (L1 = ...
Magnetization processes in micron-scale (CoFe/Pt)(n) multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy: First-order reversal curves measured by extraordinary Hall effect
(2012)
First-order reversal curves (FORCs) were recorded using the extraordinary Hall effect in micron-sized crosses of [Co90Fe10 (0.5?nm)/Pt (1.0?nm)] n multilayers with n?=?10, 20, and 50, which exhibit perpendicular magnetic ...
Production of Ni(OH)<inf>2</inf> nanosheets by liquid phase exfoliation: From optical properties to electrochemical applications
(2016)
Here we demonstrate that liquid phase exfoliation can be used to convert layered crystals of nickel hydroxide into Ni(OH)2 nanosheets in relatively large quantities and without the need for ion intercalation. While other ...
