first principle calculations were performed using density functional theory within the local spin density approximation (lsda) to understand the electronic properties of au(100)+tbt system and compare the results with au(100) and bulk au properties. band structure, the total dos and charge density for these materials are calculated. we found that the homo for au(100)+tbt becomes broader than au...

In pursuing the history of any field, even one in which many of the main exponents are still alive, it can be very difficult to establish facts and priorities. Detailed scrutiny of the events leading to the recognition of the antidepressant effects of iproniazid, in which Nathan Kline was involved, may fail to establish the exact sequence of events or the sources of inspiration for a discovery ...

Certaines manifestations cutanees sont fre­quement rencontrees au cours du diabete sucre.  L'auteur decrit les lesions cutanees pro­pres au dia.bete e.: celles qui sc manifestent dans des syndromes associes au diabe:e. Bien que ces signes cutanes ne soient pas pathogno­moniques du diabete sucre, mais par leur acce­cibilite aux yeux du clinicien et par leur fre­quence ils peuvent faire penser a...

This paper describes a simple and versatile method for growing highly anisotropic nanostructures of Pd, single-crystal nanobars bounded by {100} facets and single-crystal nanorods with their side surfaces enclosed by {100} and {110} facets. According to thermodynamic arguments, Pd atoms should nucleate and grow in a solution phase to form cuboctahedrons of spherical shape with their surfaces bo...

The recently emerged selective lateral epitaxy of semiconductor planar nanowires (NWs) via the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism has redefined the long-standing symbolic image of VLS NW growth. The in-plane geometry and self-aligned nature make these planar NWs completely compatible with large scale manufacturing of NW-based integrated nanoelectronics. Here, we report on the realization of per...

Electroplated bismuth (Bi) is commonly used in transition-edge sensors (TESs) for X-rays because of its high stopping power and low heat capacity (Collan Phys Rev B 1:2888, 1970, Yan Appl Lett 111:192602, 2017). Bi usually grown on top another metal that acts as seed layer, typically gold (Au), making it challenging to extrapolate thermoelectric properties. In this work, we present four-wire re...

Introduction: Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a nanotechnology-assisted cancer hyperthermia approach in which the interaction between laser light and plasmonic nanoparticles generates a localized heating for thermoablation of the tumor. Recent efforts in the area of PTT follow two important aims: (i) exploitation of targeting strategies for preferential accumulation of plasmonic ...
