New Half Metal Perovskite NbScO3 for Spintronic Sensing Applications

Metal halide perovskite nanomaterials: synthesis and applications

Nanomaterials refer to those with at least one dimension being at the nanoscale (i.e. <100 nm) such as quantum dots, nanowires, and nanoplatelets. These types of materials normally exhibit optical and electrical properties distinct from their bulk counterparts due to quantum confinement or strong anisotropy. In this perspective, we will focus on a particular material family: metal halide perovs...

Ferromagnetic ZnO Nanowires for Spintronic Applications

Magnetic compounds for improving spintronic applications

I wrote this thesis by myself and used none but the indicated resources. Text and figures were partly taken from corresponding publications, which originate directly from this work.

The tuning of metal enhanced fluorescence for sensing applications.

Stable coinage metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized individually in an aqueous alkaline solution from the corresponding metal salts as precursors using the condensation product (CP) of salicylaldehyde and triethylenetetramine as a reagent. Silver and gold NPs are obtained with and without light illumination but UV irradiation is essential for Cu(0)NP formation. During nanoparticle fo...

Metal-Organic Frameworks for Sensing Applications in the Gas Phase

Several metal-organic framework (MOF) materials were under investigated to test their applicability as sensor materials for impedimetric gas sensors. The materials were tested in a temperature range of 120 °C - 240 °C with varying concentrations of O(2), CO(2), C(3)H(8), NO, H(2), ethanol and methanol in the gas atmosphere and under different test gas humidity conditions. Different sensor confi...
