Ag nanoplates are the first generated by the reductant aniline in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) at room temperature without stirring in the reaction process.

in this paper, on the basis of a new strain gradient elasticity theory, wave propagation in rectangular nanoplates by considering in-plane magnetic field is studied. this strain gradient theory has two gradient parameters and has the ability to compare with the nonlocal elasticity theory. from the best knowledge of author, it is the first time that this theory is used for investigating wave pro...

In this work, an attempt is done to apply the Kirchhoff plate theory find out vibrational analyses of a nanoplate incorporating surface irregularity effects. The effects on natural frequency vibration nanomaterials, especially for nanoplates, have not been investigated before, and most previous research carried regular nanoplates. Therefore, it must be emphasized that vibrations irregular are n...

Recent reports of the synthesis and assembly of faceted nanoplates with a wide range of shapes and composition motivates the possibility of a new class of two-dimensional materials with specific patterns targeted for a host of exciting properties. Yet, studies of how nanoplate shape controls their assembly - knowledge necessary for their inverse design from target structures - has been performe...

Time-resolved extinction spectroscopy is employed to study the reaction kinetics in the shape-conversion reaction involving halide ions (including Cl(-), Br(-) and I(-)) etching (sculpturing) silver nanoplates. A series of time-resolved extinction spectra are obtained during the in situ etching process and the evolution of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the silver nanoparticles is analyzed....

Well-crystallized (Y0.97-x Tb0.03Eu x )2(OH)5NO3·nH2O (x = 0-0.03) layered rare-earth hydroxide (LRH) nanoflakes of a pure high-hydration phase have been produced by autoclaving from the nitrate/NH4OH reaction system under the optimized conditions of 100 °C and pH ∼7.0. The flakes were then converted into (Y0.97-x Tb0.03Eu x )2O3 phosphor nanoplates with color-tunable photoluminescence. Detaile...

A topological insulator (TI) represents an unconventional quantum phase of matter with insulating bulk band gap and metallic surface states. Recent theoretical calculations and photoemission spectroscopy measurements show that group V-VI materials Bi(2)Se(3), Bi(2)Te(3), and Sb(2)Te(3) are TIs with a single Dirac cone on the surface. These materials have anisotropic, layered structures, in whic...

Considerable progress in the synthesis of anisotropic patchy nanoplates (nanoplatelets) promises a rich variety of highly ordered two-dimensional superlattices. Recent experiments of superlattices assembled from nanoplates confirm the accessibility of exotic phases and motivate the need for a better understanding of the underlying self-assembly mechanisms. Here, we present experimentally access...

MoS2 nanodot decorated In2S3 nanoplates were successfully synthesized via a modified one-pot method. The In2S3/MoS2 heterojunction nanocomposite exhibits superior optical and photoelectrochemical performance to the bare ones, owing to the synergistic effect.
