in this research, the inhibitory effects of silver nanoparticles and zinc oxide nanoparticles,  in vitro, on disease stone fruits bacterial canker caused by pseudomonas syrigae pv. syringae and disease bacterial blight caused by xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis, were studied. different concentrations of nanoparticles were prepared on mueller hinton agar medium in two different ways in a com...

A new recyclable rhodium catalyst was synthesized by a simple procedure from readily available reagents, which showed high activities in the hydrogenation of various arenes under 1 atm H2 at room temperature.

We report a study of the optical and electric properties of Au nanoparticle networks grown on the porous alumina membrane by dry atom sputtering deposition approach. An effective cluster model was developed to evaluate the dielectric function and the electrical conductivities of the nanoparticle networks by taking into account the effects of the Au particle size, the Au volume fraction, and the...

In the present work, Al2O3-CeO2 composite nanopowders were synthesized via co-precipitation method. The sinterability of the synthesized powders was investigated. The results showed that the transformation of transition phases of alumina to α-Al2O3 takes place at 1200 °C. TEM images showed that the powders was composed of nanoparticles in the range of 30−70 nm. The densification of composites s...

Latex nanoparticles were packed inside nanometer-thick titania/polymer composite nanotubules templated by porous alumina membrane, to give free-standing particle-in-tubing "micro-beanpods" after removal of the template membrane.

Nano-floating gate memory devices were fabricated on a flexible plastic substrate by a low-temperature fabrication process. The memory characteristics of ZnO-based thin-film transistors with Al nanoparticles embedded in the gate oxides were investigated in this study. Their electron mobility was found to be 0.18 cm(2)/V·s and their on/off ratio was in the range of 10(4)-10(5). The threshold vol...

To provide a front transparent electrode for use in highly efficient hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film solar cells, porous flat layer and micro-patterns of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle (NP) layers were prepared through ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) and deposited on Al-doped ZnO (AZO) layers. Through this, it was found that a porous micro-pattern of ZnO NPs disper...

Excitation of Xe monolayers on alumina-supported silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by laser light in the (1,0) Mie plasmon resonance can lead to desorption of Xe atoms with hyperthermal energy and chaotic time structure. The chaotic behavior is most likely due to plasmonic coupling between AgNPs. We argue that the desorption is induced by direct energy transfer to the adsorbate from the Pauli repuls...

We have investigated the decomposition and chemisorption of a 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) molecule on Al(111) surface using molecular dynamics simulations, in which interatomic forces are computed quantum mechanically in the framework of the density functional theory (DFT). The real-space DFT calculations are based on higher-order finite difference and norm-conserving pseudopotential me...
