Bi2Te3 has an extensive application as thermoelectric materials. Here, large scale single-crystal hexagonal nanoplates(NPs) with size of 0.4–0.8 μm were synthesized successfully by hydro-thermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission (TEM) used to characterize the nanoplates, which confirm single crystal quality smooth surface morphology size. We d...

Abstract This study investigates the size-dependent wave propagation behaviors under thermoelectric loads of porous functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) nanoplates deposited in a viscoelastic foundation. It is assumed that (i) material parameters obey power-law variation thickness and (ii) uniform porosity exists nanoplates. The combined effects viscoelasticity shear deformation are consider...

Nanoplates have been extensively utilized in the recent years for applications nanoengineering as sensors and actuators. Due to their operative nanoscale, mechanical behavior of such structures might also be influenced by inter-atomic material interactions. For these reasons, nonlocal models are usually introduced studying behavior. Sensor technology plate should formulated with coupled mechani...

The nanosheet-seeding growth (NSG) technique is an interesting synthesis method for preparing two-dimensional (2D) materials by employing ultrathin nanosheets as templates. In this work, the of 2D TiO2 nanoplates using Ti0.87O2 via NSG process thoroughly studied to achieve a better understanding process. influence various conditions on morphology and phase composition has been carefully examine...

Low power femtosecond-pulsed NIR irradiation kills HeLa cells incubated with Ag nanoplates by both photothermal effect and optical breakdown leading to plasma formation that spreads fast through the cell.

This paper presents an objective speech quality measure which is based on loudness patterns using the equivalent rectangular bandwidth (ERB) scale. The proposed measure, called the loudness pattern distortion (LPD), is computed from the differences between the loudness patterns of the original and processed speech. The LPD measure takes into account the transmission through the outer and middle...
