Unexpected magnetism in gold nanostructures: making gold even more attractive

Gold Nanostructures in Biomedical Technology

Nanomaterials have been defined as any material possessing at least one dimension in the nanometer scale between 1 and 100 nm. As a result, a new field has emerged during last decades: Nanotechnology. It can be defined as the design, synthesis and application of materials and devices whose size and shape have been engineered at the nanoscale. In addition to the main properties of Nanomaterials,...

Making Interactive Guides More Attractive

We investigate the different roads that should be taken to make 2D and 3D guides on webpages and in (augmented) virtual reality environments more attractive. Currently, most of the approaches have been done from a graphics point of view. Often research stops when we have to model how these graphically well-designed agents are going to do something useful and have to interact with the user or a ...

Unexpected Au Alloying in Tailoring In-Doped SnTe Nanostructures with Gold Nanoparticles

Materials with strong spin-orbit interaction and superconductivity are candidates for topological superconductors that may host Majorana fermions (MFs) at the edges/surfaces/vortex cores. Bulk-superconducting carrier-doped topological crystalline insulator, indium-doped tin telluride (In-SnTe) is one of the promising materials. Robust superconductivity of In-SnTe nanostructures has been demonst...
