Visibility of Si nanoparticles embedded in an amorphous SiO2 matrix.
The visibility of a Si crystalline nanoparticle of diameter 2 nm embedded in an amorphous SiO(2) layer is evaluated quantitatively by multislice calculation. The visibility depends on the crystal orientation of the Si nanoparticle, the thickness of the amorphous SiO(2) layer and the defocus. Scherzer defocus always gives the highest visibility at any crystal orientation. The visibility is highe...
متن کاملOrder-disorder transition of aragonite nanoparticles in nacre.
Understanding nacre's bottom-up biomineralization mechanism, particularly, how individual aragonite platelets are formed, has long remained elusive due to its crystallographic peculiarity and structural complexity. Here we report that crystallographic order-disorder transition can be triggered within individual aragonite platelets in pristine nacre by means of heat treatment and/or inelastic de...
متن کاملOrganic Phase Change Nanoparticles for in-Product Labeling of Agrochemicals
There is an urgent need to develop in-product covert barcodes for anti-counterfeiting of agrochemicals. This paper reports a new organic nanoparticle-based in-product barcode system, in which a panel of organic phase change nanoparticles is added as a barcode into in a variety of chemicals (herein agrochemicals). The barcode is readout by detecting melting peaks of organic nanoparticles using d...
متن کاملDirect generation of charge carriers in c-Si solar cells due to embedded nanoparticles
It is known that silicon is an indirect band gap material, reducing its efficiency in photovoltaic applications. Using surface plasmons in metallic nanoparticles embedded in a solar cell has recently been proposed as a way to increase the efficiency of thin-film silicon solar cells. The dipole mode that dominates the plasmons in small particles produces an electric field having Fourier componen...
متن کاملOrder-disorder phase transition in random-walk networks.
In this paper we study in detail the behavior of random-walk networks (RWN's). These networks are a generalization of the well-known random Boolean networks (RBN's), a classical approach to the study of the genome. RWN's are also discrete networks, but their response is defined by small variations in the state of each gene, thus being a more realistic representation of the genome and a natural ...
