Faraday Discussion: Nanoparticle Synthesis and Assembly

Faraday Discussion : Nanoparticle Synthesis and Assembly Recent advancements in nanoparticle research

Faraday Discussions are unique international meetings that focus on miscellaneous areas of chemistry and have been held for over 100 years. The format of these meetings is distinctive because delegates submit their papers in advance and these are distributed to all the participants prior to the meeting. During the meeting, the presenting authors are given fi ve minutes to summarise the key poin...

Faraday Rotation Measure Synthesis

We extend the rotation measure work of Burn (1966) to the cases of limited sampling of λ2 space and non-constant emission spectra. We introduce the rotation measure transfer function (RMTF), which is an excellent predictor of nπ ambiguity problems with the λ coverage. Rotation measure synthesis can be implemented very efficiently on modern computers. Because the analysis is easily applied to wi...

Multicompartment and multigeometry nanoparticle assembly

Our contribution to the Faraday Discussion on Gold

Nanoporous gold (np-Au) represents a novel nanostructured bulk material with very interesting 10 perspectives in heterogeneous catalysis. Its monolithic porous structure and the absence of a support or other stabilizing agents opens up unprecedented possibilities to tune structure and surface chemistry in order to adapt the material to specific catalytic applications. We investigated three of t...

Synthesis and thermoluminescence properties of ZnS nanoparticle

In this scientific research ZnS nanoparticle was synthesized via precipitation method. Two samples were synthesized by this method. The nanoparticle was characterized by XRD techniques, and the size and kind of crystallinity were identified by X-ray diffraction pattern as well. The size measurement has been done by using scherrer's equation. The average sizes of nanoparticles in two sa...
