Frontispiece: Overview of Synthetic Methods to Prepare Plasmonic Transition‐Metal Nitride Nanoparticles

Local heating with lithographically fabricated plasmonic titanium nitride nanoparticles.

Titanium nitride is considered a promising alternative plasmonic material and is known to exhibit localized surface plasmon resonances within the near-infrared biological transparency window. Here, local heating efficiencies of disk-shaped nanoparticles made of titanium nitride and gold are compared in the visible and near-infrared regions numerically and experimentally with samples fabricated ...

New Synthetic Procedure to Prepare Olanzapine

New synthetic approaches to prepare degradable polymers

This thesis is concerned with the synthesis of acid labile co-polymers. Two polymer systems were examined (1) polyacetals and (2) poly(ortho esters). As for poly(ortho esters), there is a need for better synthetic methods to prepare these polymers more easily without the need of stringent anhydrous conditions, with more broad structural variation, and in a more cost effective manner. Pendent fu...

Experimental demonstration of titanium nitride plasmonic interconnects.

An insulator-metal-insulator plasmonic interconnect using TiN, a CMOS-compatible material, is proposed and investigated experimentally at the telecommunication wavelength of 1.55 µm. The TiN waveguide was shown to obtain propagation losses less than 0.8 dB/mm with a mode size of 9.8 µm on sapphire, which agree well with theoretical predictions. A theoretical analysis of a solid-state structure ...

specialized methods to teach spelling: comparing three methods

چکیده: بررسی ادبیات مربوطه در کشور در زمینه یادگیری زبان انگلیسی نشان می‎دهد که علی‎رغم اهمیت املا در فرآیند یادگیری به طور عام و یادگیری زبان انگلیسی به طور خاص، این مولفه از جایگاهی متناسب با اهمیت آن برخوردار نیست و عمدتاً نادیده گرفته شده است. تحقیقات گسترده‎ای در خارج از کشور در مورد ماهیت این مولفه صورت گرفته است، در حالی که به جرأت می‎توان گفت در داخل کشور گامی در مورد درک ماهیت آن و فرآی...
