Correlating structure, conductance, and mechanics of silver atomic-scale contacts.
We measure simultaneously force and conductance of Ag metal point-contacts under ambient conditions at room temperature. We observe the formation of contacts with a conductance close to 1 G0, the quantum of conductance, which can be attributed to a single-atom contact, similar to those formed by Au. We also find two additional conductance features at ∼0.4 G0 and ∼1.3 G0, which have been previou...
متن کاملApplication of Sulfur Nanoparticles as a Solid Phase Extraction Sorbent for the Preconcentration of Lead(II) and Palladium(II) in Environmental Samples Prior to Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry Determination
The application of sulfur nanoparticles as an efficient adsorbent for the solid-phase extraction and determination of the trace amounts of Pb and Pd ions was investigated in environmental samples using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Effects of various parameters such as pH, flow rate of sample and eluent, type and concentration of eluent, sample volume, amount of adsorbent and interferin...
متن کاملRevealing thermal effects in the electronic transport through irradiated atomic metal point contacts
We report on the electronic transport through nanoscopic metallic contacts under the influence of external light fields. Various processes can be of relevance here, whose underlying mechanisms can be studied by comparing different kinds of atomic contacts. For this purpose two kinds of contacts, which were established by electrochemical deposition, forming a gate-controlled quantum switch (GCQS...
متن کاملComparison of Modified Palladium Nanoparticles and Homemade Activated Carbon Derived from Medlar for Solid Phase Extraction of Metal Ions Prior to Their Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry Determination
This study focus on the preparation of two supports including activated carbon derived from medlar and Palladium nanoparticles loaded on activated carbon (Pd-NP-AC). Subsequently, both adsorbent modified with a novel Schiff base chelating agent and their potential applicability for determination of trace amounts of metal ions from aqueous solution has been investigated. The method is based on c...
متن کاملRemoval of heavy metal (copper) using Microalgae (Spirulinaplatensis) by Taguchi Method
Environmental pollution by heavy metals is one of the main problems in the environment. Biosorption, is inactivated or live and dead biomass is used for the removal of heavy metals. In this study, a micro alga (Cyanobacteria) Spirulina platensis was used as adsorbents for the remediation of copperfrom aqueous solution.The purpose of this research is to study the possibility or impossibility of...
