Cysteine forms self-assembled monolayers over gold nanoparticles. Based on this knowledge, a novel electrochemical sensor (Au-Au(nano)-Cys-SDS) has been constructed by the formation of self-assembly monolayer (SAM) of cysteine on gold-nanoparticles modified gold electrode (Au-Au(nano)-Cys) to be utilized for determination of dopamine in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Electrochemi...

Quantum squeezing can improve the ultimate measurement precision by squeezing one desired fluctuation of the two physical quantities in Heisenberg relation. We propose a scheme to obtain squeezed states through graphene nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) taking advantage of their thin thickness in principle. Two key criteria of achieving squeezing states, zero-point displacement uncertainty an...

background contamination of water resources with nitrate is a serious environmental problem in many regions of the world. in addition, this problem has been observed in some regions of iran. as nitrate is threatening for human health and environment, it must be decreased to standard levels in drinking water. objectives the purpose of this research was to model the nitrate removal from water by ...

Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of single nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in 50-nm diamond nanocrystals at the zero-phonon line (ZPL) were directly observed using a Fabry-Perot interferometer at cryogenic temperatures. The narrowest linewidth of ZPL was 1.2 GHz (1.9 ± 0.7 GHz on average), comparable to ZPL linewidths in PL spectra reported for NV centers in pure bulk diamond. This observation is i...

In this work the effect of substrate roughness on the adhesion of gecko foot-hair like nano structures as opposed to solid elastic materials is described and models of both synthetic nano-hairs and hair-substrate interaction are developed. First, by combining linear beam theory and geometric constraints, a nonlinear elastic model for the hair is derived. Then it is shown how for a given random ...

The objective of the present investigation was to design a vesicular formulation of brimonidine tartrate and evaluate its ability to reduce the dosing frequency and improve the therapeutic efficacy of the drug. Nano-vesicles of brimonidine tartrate were prepared by film hydration method. The prepared vesicles were evaluated for photomicroscopic characteristics, entrapment efficiency, in vitro, ...
