A new deep acceptor state is identified by density functional theory calculations, and physically activated by an Au ion implantation technique to overcome the high energy barriers. And an acceptor-compensated charge transport mechanism that controls the chemical sensing performance of Au-implanted SnO2 nanowires is established. Subsequently, an equation of electrical resistance is set up as a ...

Bacterial magnetic nanoparticles have great useful potential in biotechnological and biomedical applications. In this study, a liquid growth medium was modified for cultivation a fastidious magnetotactic bacterium that has been isolated from Anzali lagoon, Iran in our previous research. These modifications include change in vitamin, mineral, carbon sources and etcetera. In our experience, the s...

Abstract Stabilization of nano-oxide suspensions is a very important process. Nowadays, synthetic polymers are used to increase stability the colloidal systems. However, this solution not ecological and incompatible with principles green chemistry. Instead polymers, their natural counterparts can be used. Herein, we present use bioactive polysaccharide—fucoidan as stabilizer nano-zinc(II) nano-...

Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that covers a vast and diverse array of devices and machines derived from engineering, physics, materials science, chemistry and biology. These devices have found applications in biomedical sciences, such as targeted drug delivery, bio-imaging, sensing and diagnosis of pathologies at early stages. In these applications, nano-devices typically interfac...

During the last decade, experimental and theoretical studies on the unimolecular decomposition of cumulenes (H(2)C(n)H(2)) from propadiene (H(2)CCCH(2)) to hexapentaene (H(2)CCCCCCH(2)) have received considerable attention due to the importance of these carbon-bearing molecules in combustion flames, chemical vapor deposition processes, atmospheric chemistry, and the chemistry of the interstella...

We present a facile and inexpensive approach to superhydrophobic polymer coatings. The method involves the in-situ polymerization of common monomers in the presence of a porogenic solvent to afford superhydrophobic surfaces with the desired combination of micro- and nano-scale roughness. The method is applicable to a variety of substrates and is not limited to small areas or flat surfaces. The ...

in this research at the first enalapril drug and its fullerene derivative were optimized. nbo calculations and nmr for the complexes were carried out at the b3lyp/6-31g* quantum chemistry level. different parameters such as energy levels, the amount of chemical shift in different atoms, the amount of homo/lumo, chemical potential (µ ), chemical hardness (η), the coefficients of hybrid bonds (π,...

   The use of plant extract in the biosynthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) can be an eco-friendly approach and have been suggested as a possible alternative to classic methods namely physical and chemical procedures. This study was designed to examine the structural chemistry of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using both conventional heating and microwave irradiation methods.To o...
