A simple optical model for photocurrent enhancement by plasmonic metal nanoparticles atop solar cells has been developed. Our model deals with the absorption, reflection, and scattering of incident sunlight as well as radiation efficiencies on metallic nanoparticles. Our calculation results satisfactorily reproduce a series of experimental spectral data for optically thin GaAs solar cells with ...

The data presented in this article are related to the research article "Intramyocardial Fate and Effect of Iron Nanoparticles co-injected with MACS® purified Stem Cell Products" (Müller et al., 2017) [1]. This article complements the cellular localization of superparamagnetic iron dextran particles (MACS® MicroBeads) used for magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS®). Data evaluate the time-depen...

Dengue is a viral illness that is spread by a female mosquito Aedes aegypti. The occurrence of dengue has increased about 30 times. Half of the world’s population is endangered by this disease as statistics provide a data of 50-million cases reported annually, while currently the disease is endemic in more than 100 countries. It can be controlled by number of ways but most preferred and environ...

Gantrez AN (a copolymer between methyl vinyl ether and maleic anhydride) nanoparticles were prepared by the solvent displacement method, and different dextrans with different molecular weight were associated to these nanoparticles in order to modify their surface characteristics. The resulting nanoparticles were characterized in terms of size, zeta potential, amount of dextran associated and de...

Little attention has been paid to the accumulation of soil organic matter (SOM) in the fringes of the mid-latitude desert. In this paper, soil samples from a long-term field experiment conducted from 1990 to 2013 at a research station in Urumqi, China by different fertilizer treatments, were used to determine soil properties and soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) by chemical analysis, fluoresc...

The composites combining aluminum and silica nanoparticles with the addition of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (Al-SiO2(T)) and butanol (Al-SiO2(B)) as mixing media have been successfully fabricated. Corrosion behavior of Al-SiO2 composites before and after exposure in 1M NaCl solution was examined using potentiodynamic polarization (Tafel curve analysis). The st...

Inspired by the high adhesiveness of the electrospun fiber, we propose a method to fabricate multi-scale heterogeneous hump-on-string fiber via the adsorption of nanoparticles, the NPCTi which is the hydrolysate of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl₄) and the nanoparticles containing Al (NPCAl) which is produced by the hydrolysis of Trimethylaluminium (TMA, Al(CH₃)₃). The water collection efficiency ...

In the present work, an aluminum metal matrix reinforced with (Al₂O₃) nanoparticles was fabricated as a surface composite sheet using friction stir processing (FSP). The effects of processing parameters on mechanical properties, hardness, and microstructure grain were investigated. The results revealed that multi-pass FSP causes a homogeneous distribution and good dispersion of Al₂O₃ in the met...
