the knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with barbituric acid, dimedone and malononitrile occurred in the presence of bf3/nano-γ-al2o3 at room temperature in ethanol. this catalyst is characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), thermal gravimetric analysis (tga), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem) and energy-disper...

the conducting polymer films have been widely applied in the field of electrochemistry owing to their goodstability, permselectivity, unique physical and chemical properties. a novel nano-au/poly (4-aminobenzoicacid) (paba) film modified carbon paste electrode was fabricated for sensitive detection of acetaminophenin this paper. the paba film and nano-au/paba film were characterized by scanning...

In this study, a D–type photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor is proposed for measurement of both refractive index (RI) and temperature. The RI sensing part constructed by deposition silver layer on the plane structure, temperature formed filling nanowire liquid analyte into an elliptical hole in PCF. design then can be used through coupling between core guid...

Nano-sized ZnO was synthesized through the hydroxide precipitation using drop wise method. The variations in resistance of sensing pellet at different temperatures were recorded. The relative resistance was decreased linearly with increasing temperatures over the range, 150°C-260°C. The activation energy of ZnO calculated from Arrhenius plot was found 0.007eV. Temperature response in terms of t...

Electromagnetic properties of cylindrical active coated nano-particles comprised of a silica nano-cylinder core layered with a plasmonic concentric nano-shell are investigated for potential nano-sensor applications. Particular attention is devoted to the near-field properties of these particles, as well as to their far-field radiation characteristics, in the presence of an electric or a magneti...

We have constructed a versatile current to voltage (I-V ) converter operating at liquid helium temperature, using a commercially available all-CMOS OPamp. It is valuable for cryogenic measurements of electrical current of nano-pico amperes, for example, in scanning probe microscopy. The I-V converter is thermally linked to liquid helium bath and self-heated up to 10.7 K. We have confirmed its c...

In recent years, spinel-type compounds have attracted great interest because of their gem-like qualities. However, little is known of their gas sensing properties. We report, in this paper, on a self-assembly method to prepare porous ZnCo2O4 (ZCO) nano/microspheres by a facile one-step solvothermal process and subsequent annealing. Abundant techniques were used to characterize the morphology an...

In this paper, we introduce a novel sensor scheme which merges nano-photonics and nano-fluidics on a single platform through the use of free-standing photonic crystals (PhCs). PhCs offer great freedom to manipulate the spatial extent and the spectral characteristics of the electromagnetic fields. Also, nanoholes in PhCs provide a natural platform to transport solutions. By harnessing these nano...

We propose the nano-scale displacement sensor with high resolution for weak-force systems could be realized based on vertical stacked two-dimensional (2D) atomic corrugated layer materials bound through Van der Waals (VdW) interaction. Using first-principles calculations, we found the electronic structure of bi-layer blue phosphorus (BLBP) varies appreciably to both the lateral and vertical int...
