Dielectrophoretic assembly of nanoparticles has great utility in creating intricate designer nanoscale structures. Dielectrophoresis of gold nanoparticles has been used to create nanowires for electronics, high surface area electrodes for sensors, and nanoelectrode nanogaps for molecular electronics. Despite the utility of this technique, little is known about the mechanisms governing different...

The Mount Milligan deposit, centred at latitude SS”O8’ north and longitude 124”04’ west, is 100 kilometres westsouthwest of Mackenzie and 160 kilometres northwest of Prince George in central British Columbia. The deposit occurs in gently rolling topography (Plate 2-6-l) 5 kilometres due south of Mount Milligan. Access to the property is by a 93.kilometre logging road that connects with the Hart...

Yeylagh-e-Gharechi porphyry copper deposit is located in the Arasbaran metallogenic belt at northwestern Iran, 25 kilometer of Ahar. Porphyry mineralization at the Yeylagh-e-Gharechi deposit occurred in post-Oligocene quartz monzonite and monzonite bodies which was hosted by Eocene volcanic rocks. Mineralization occurred as veins, veinlets and dissemination in hypogene zone. Supergene zone has ...

The available methods for double-labeling preembedding immunoelectron microscopy are highly limited because not only should the ultrastructure be preserved, but also the different antigens should be visualized by reaction end products that can be clearly distinguished in gray-scale images. In these procedures, one antigen is detected with 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) chromogen, resulting in a ho...

In the Buchim porphyry copper deposit, we determined several representative rare mineral phases, comprising metals from gold-palladium group as well those bismuth-selenium (Cu-Bi-Se-Te-As) group. The phases are represented by new in bismuthinite, galenobismutite, krupkaite, friedrichite, emplectite, laitakarite and native bismuth of gold-palladium, including gold palladium with their elemental ...

Galvanic displacement processes are employed in water-in-oil microemulsions to deposit gold nanoclusters selectively on Si surfaces and sidewalls. The gold clusters then serve as catalysts to achieve selective growth of vertically and laterally aligned Si nanowire arrays by chemical vapor deposition via the vapor-liquid-solid growth mechanism. The size of the gold clusters is shown to have a go...

Copper on gold forms a monolayer deposit via underpotential deposition. For gold particles adsorbed at a liquid-liquid interface this results in a uniform one monolayer thick shell. This approach offers a new route for the uniform functionalisation of nanoparticles and presents a way to probe fundamental processes that underlie nanoparticle synthesis.

kuh- e -zar gold deposit located 35 km west of torbat-e-heydaryeh, (khorassan e- razavi province), east of iran. this deposit is a specularite-rich iron oxide type (iocg). this mine is situated within khaf-bardascan volcanic plutonic belt. based on recent exploration along this belt, several iocg type system plus kuh-e-zar deposit are discovered. in the study area, several type of tuff and lava...

Polyphenols from green tea were used to electrolessly deposit gold on silk cocoons (SCs) and nanoporous aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The gold coated cocoons were used as electrodes in supercapacitors and showed a capacitance as high as 254 F g(-1) and a specific power of 2287 W kg(-1). A metal coated AAO template was used for molecular separation.

The aim within this project was to optimise the CO oxidation over TiO2 supported gold catalysts, focusing on two different preparation methods; deposition precipitation (DP) and photodeposition (PD), using different types of TiO2 and varying the theoretical gold loading. The catalyst were characterised with TEM (size) and ICP-AES (loading). For DP catalysts, the support is important for high ac...
