The influence of the orientation of gold nanorods in different assemblies has been investigated using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulation method. To understand the relative orientation, we vary the size and angle in dimer geometries....
Partially Fe filled multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were grown by chemical vapor deposition with propane at 850 °C using a simple mixture of iron (III) acetylacetonate (Fe(acac)3) powder and conventional photoresist. Scanning electron microsc...
Soft magnetic materials have low coercive fields and high permeability. Recently, nanocrystalline alloys obtained using annealing amorphous alloys have attracted much interest since nanocrystalline alloys with small grain sizes of tens of nanometers...
Although fluorescence is the prevailing labeling technique in biosensing applications, sensitivity improvement is still a striving challenge. We show that coating standard microscope slides with nanoroughened silver films provides a high fluorescence...
Hi Reddit! Whether it's industrial applications like semiconductor polishing, or everyday consumer products such as sunscreen or antimicrobial creams, manmade nanoparticles are everywhere. These na...
We report the fabrication and characterization of photonic structures using tapered optical nanofibers. Thanks to the extension of the evanescent electromagnetic field outside of the nanofiber two types of devices can be built: a ring interferometer...
The magnetotransport in phase-separated (Ga,Fe)N containing $γ$'-Ga$_y$Fe$_{4-y}$N (0\,$<$\,y\,$<$1) nanocrystals (NCs) is studied in the temperature range between 2\,K and 300\,K. The evolution of the resistivity and of the magnetoresistance (MR) a...
In the Fe-doped GaN phase-separated magnetic semiconductor GaFeN, the presence of embedded Ga$_y$Fe$_{4-y}$N nanocrystals determines the magnetic properties of the system. Here, through a combination of anomalous x-ray diffraction and diffraction ano...
We report on a systematic temperature dependent X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of nano-sized graphite particles prepared by ball-milling. In as-prepared samples a very intense and sharp EPR resonance at $g=2.0035$ has been measure...
Two different zinc oxide nanoparticles, as well as zinc ions, are used to study the cellular responses of the RAW 264 macrophage cell line. A proteomic screen is used to provide a wide view of the molecular effects of zinc, and the most prominent res...
A rapid and efficient photo-bleaching process was demonstrated with a high-energy nanosecond pulse to recover existing and/or revealed color centers on 10 kGy Gamma-irradiated Yb-doped optical fiber. Multi-mJ pulsed laser based on an optical parametr...
In this study, we electroplate Cu electrode on Si substrate to realize a large-area vacuum nanogap for electron tunneling. We used cathode coating, cathode rotation, asymmetric current regime, and electrolyte temperature stabilization to obtain the r...
