چکیده
Three-dimensional (3D) ZnO–CuO core-shell nanorod arrays have been synthesized by a three-step process on silicon (100) substrates. A hydrothermal method was used to grow 3D ZnO nanorod arrays, followed by deposition of Cu nanofilm using sputtering, which was oxidized subsequently at 400 C to form CuO shell surrounding ZnO nanorod core. The control over oxygen flow and pressure during the Cu nanofilm oxidation was found to improve the uniformity and intactness of CuO shell surrounding ZnO nanorod core. With higher oxygen flow, more conformal CuO thin film coating was achieved on the 3D ZnO nanorods array as a result of more sufficient oxygen access at the bottom portion of ZnO nanorods array. Higher pressure during thermal oxidation favored the formation of non-conformal ZnO–CuO core-shell nanorods and impurity Zn2SiO4 possibly at the interface of ZnO and Si substrate. UV-vis absorption spectroscopy revealed higher absorption efficiency in the visible region in ZnO–CuO core-shell nanorods than in pure ZnO nanorods. The fabricated ZnO–CuO core-shell nanorods could be useful nanoscale building blocks in solar cells and light emitting devices.

A geometric proof of a theorem on antiregularity of generalized quadrangles
A geometric proof is given in terms of Laguerre geometry of the theorem of Bagchi, Brouwer and Wilbrink, which states that if a generalized quadrangle of order s > 1 has an antiregular point then all of its points are antiregular.
متن کاملGentzen and Jaśkowski Natural Deduction: Fundamentally Similar but Importantly Different
Gentzen’s and Jaśkowski’s formulations of natural deduction are logically equivalent in the normal sense of those words. However, Gentzen’s formulation more straightforwardly lends itself both to a normalization theorem and to a theory of “meaning” for connectives (which leads to a view of semantics called ‘inferentialism’). The present paper investigates cases where Jaskowski’s formulation see...
متن کاملNMR resonance assignments of the archaeal ribosomal protein L7Ae in the apo form and bound to a 25 nt RNA
The archaeal protein L7Ae forms part of a protein complex in the ribosome that specifically recognizes and binds to kink-turn RNA. In this complex, L7Ae directly interacts with the oligonucleotide and creates a functional arrangement for site-specific 2'-O-methylation. We report the solution NMR backbone assignment of Methanocaldococcus jannaschii L7Ae (117 residues, 12.7 kDa) in the ligand-fre...
