Controlling Nanoparticle Aggregation in Colloidal Microwave Absorbers via Interface Chemistry
Interface chemistry can be implemented to modulate the aggregation and dispersion of nanoparticles in a colloidal solution. In this experimental study, we demonstrate the controlled aggregation of superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles in organic and aqueous solutions. With decrease in solution pH, individual nanoparticles (12-14 nm) reproducibly cluster to form ~52 nm monodisperse aggregate...
متن کاملHighly ordered ultralong magnetic nanowires wrapped in stacked graphene layers
We report on the synthesis and magnetic characterization of ultralong (1 cm) arrays of highly ordered coaxial nanowires with nickel cores and graphene stacking shells (also known as metal-filled carbon nanotubes). Carbon-containing nickel nanowires are first grown on a nanograted surface by magnetron sputtering. Then, a post-annealing treatment favors the metal-catalyzed crystallization of carb...
متن کاملEnhanced tunneling in stacked gate dielectrics with ultra-thin HfO2 layers sandwiched between thicker SiO2 layers
There has been a search for alternative dielectrics with significantly increased dielectric constants, K, which increases physical thickness in proportion to K, and therefore would significantly reduce direct tunneling. However, increases in K to values of 15–25 in transition metal and rare earth oxides are generally accompanied by decreases in the conduction band offset energy with respect to ...
متن کاملHow the Starting Precursor Influences the Properties of Polycrystalline CuInGaSe2 Thin Films Prepared by Sputtering and Selenization
Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS)/CdS thin-film solar cells have reached, at laboratory scale, an efficiency higher than 22.3%, which is one of the highest efficiencies ever obtained for thin-film solar cells. The research focus has now shifted onto fabrication processes, which have to be easily scalable at an industrial level. For this reason, a process is highlighted here which uses only the sputtering tec...
متن کاملNanoparticle accumulation and transcytosis in brain endothelial cell layers.
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a selective barrier, which controls and limits access to the central nervous system (CNS). The selectivity of the BBB relies on specialized characteristics of the endothelial cells that line the microvasculature, including the expression of intercellular tight junctions, which limit paracellular permeability. Several reports suggest that nanoparticles have a uni...
