Gold Nanostructures for Sensing and Functional Bioimaging

Novel ZnO nanostructures over gold and silver nanoparticle assemblies

We report the growth of well-oriented nest (reticulum)-like and lotus flower-like submicron structures of ZnO, over gold and silver nanoparticle assemblies, respectively. The structures were grown by a convenient chemical bath deposition method in a nutrient solution made of zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3)2 Æ 6H2O) and methyl amine (CH3NH2) at low temperature. SEM, XRD, Raman, UV–Vis and fluorescence spe...

this study investigates the cohesive devices used in the textbook of english for the students of psychology. the research questions and hypotheses in the present study are based on what frequency and distribution of grammatical and lexical cohesive devices are. then, to answer the questions all grammatical and lexical cohesive devices in reading comprehension passages from 6 units of 21units th...

Dry-processable carbon nanotubes for functional devices and composites.

Assembly of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in effective and productive ways is of vital importance to their application. Recent progress in synthesis of CNTs has inspired new strategies for utilizing the unique physiochemical properties of CNTs in macroscale materials and devices. Assembling CNTs by dry processes (e.g., directly collecting CNTs in the form of freestanding films followed by pressing, s...

Fabricating designed fullerene nanostructures for functional electronic devices

A long-term goal within the field of organic electronics has been to develop flexible and functional devices, which can be processed and patterned with low-cost and energy-efficient solution-based methods. This thesis presents a number of functional paths towards the attainment of this goal via the development and demonstration of novel fabrication and patterning methods involving the important...
