Herein we report the development of anisotropic bimetallic nanoparticles where aerosol gold nanoparticles served as the seeds for the continuous deposition of silver atoms on their surfaces. Initially, aerosol gold nanoparticles were formed by spark discharge and then injected into a silver precursor solution in an impinging device. The gold nanoparticles acted as the seed particles, and cataly...

microhole electrical discharge machining (EDM) system with daptive fuzzy logic control and precision piezoelectric stage is eveloped in this study. A high-speed EDM monitoring system is mplemented to measure the gap voltage, current, and ignition elay time, which are used to derive three input parameters—the verage gap voltage, deviation in spark ratio, and change in the eviation in spark ratio...

OF THESIS DESK-TOP SIZE HIGH REPETITION RATE 46.9 NM CAPILLARY DISCHARGE LASER AS PHOTOIONIZATION SOURCE FOR PHOTOCHEMISTRY APPLICATIONS A portable high repetition rate desktop-size capillary discharge laser emitting at a wavelength of 46.9 nm (26.5 eV photon energy) was demonstrated and used as a photoionization source in nanocluster mass spectroscopy. The high photon energy allows the single-...
