Near-field effects and energy transfer in hybrid metal-oxide nanostructures
One of the big challenges of the 21st century is the utilization of nanotechnology for energy technology. Nanoscale structures may provide novel functionality, which has been demonstrated most convincingly by successful applications such as dye-sensitized solar cells introduced by M. Grätzel. Applications in energy technology are based on the transfer and conversion of energy. Following the exa...
متن کاملVisible-light-driven superhydrophilicity by interfacial charge transfer between metal ions and metal oxide nanostructures.
Single-crystalline rutile nanorods were synthesized by a facile acid treatment on titanate nanotubes. These rutile nanorods could be highly dispersed in water to form a stable colloidal solution. Cu(2+) ions were grafted onto these rutile nanorods, and the Cu(2+)-grafted nanorods could absorb visible light by the interfacial charge transfer between the valence band of rutile TiO(2) and surface-...
متن کاملAluminum Oxide Nanofluid Energy Transfer
Nanofluid is a new class of heat transfer fluids engineered by dispersing metallic or non-metallic nanoparticles with a typical size of less than 100 nm in the conventional heat transfer fluids.This article aims to investigate the overall and convection heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number of Al2O3-water nanofluid flowing in a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger under turbulent flow (...
متن کاملQuantum Beats in Hybrid Metal−Semiconductor Nanostructures
We investigate nonradiative quantum coherence in the presence of coupling between excitons and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in a hybrid metal−semiconductor nanostructure. In particular, we study how quantum coherence between heavy-hole (HH) and light-hole (LH) excitons in a GaAs quantum well (QW) is modified when they are coupled to SPPs of a gold grating. We find that the nonradative cohe...
متن کاملChemical Sensors Based on Metal Oxide Nanostructures
This paper is an overview of sensor development based on metal oxide nanostructures. While nanostructures such as nanorods show significant potential as enabling materials for chemical sensors, a number of significant technical challenges remain. The major issues addressed in this work revolve around the ability to make workable sensors. This paper discusses efforts to address three technical b...
