NiCu alloy nanowires arrays were embedded into the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by ac-pulse electrodeposition. Different off-time were used in electrolyte with constant concentration of Ni and Cu and acidity of 3. The effect of deposition parameters on alloy contents was investigated by studying the microstructure and magnetic properties of as-deposited NiCu alloy nanowires. Atomic forc...

Analysis of rates of tunneling across self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of n-alkanethiolates SCn (with n = number of carbon atoms) incorporated in junctions having structure Ag(TS)-SAM//Ga2O3/EGaIn leads to a value for the injection tunnel current density J0 (i.e., the current flowing through an ideal junction with n = 0) of 10(3.6±0.3) A·cm(-2) (V = +0.5 V). This estimation of J0 does not invol...

in this paper, a numerical solution procedure is presented for the forced vibration of a piezoelectric nanowire under thermo-electro-mechanical loads based on the nonlocal elasticity theory within the framework of timoshenko beam theory. using hamilton’s principle, the nonlocal governing differential equations are derived. the governing equations and the related boundary conditions are discreti...

Methanol steam reforming is a promising reaction in terms of hydrogen production for use in PEM fuel cells. Catalyst research has focused mainly on Cu/ZnO formulations, because of their superior selectivity to CO2 and H2. The common byproduct CO is problematic due to its poisoning effect on the anode of a downstream fuel cell. Some years ago it was shown that palladium supported on certain redu...

All-inorganic perovskites, with their low-cost, simple processes and superior heat stability, have become potential candidate materials for photodetectors (PDs). However, they no representative responsivity in the deep-ultraviolet (UV) wavelength region. As a new-generation semiconductor, gallium oxide (Ga2O3), which has an ultrawide bandgap, is appropriate solar-blind (200 nm–280 nm) deep-UV d...

the aim of this research is preparation of sno2 nanowires by means of thermal chemical reaction vapor transport deposition (tcrvtd) method from sno powders. the morphology, chemical composition and microstructure properties of the nanowires are characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (fe-sem), eds, and xrd. the xrd diffraction patterns reveal that the sno2 nanowires have...

Tunneling junctions having the structure Ag−S(CH2)n−1CH3// Ga2O3/EGaIn allow physical−organic studies of charge transport across selfassembled monolayers (SAMs). In ambient conditions, the surface of the liquid metal electrode (EGaIn, 75.5 wt % Ga, 24.5 wt % In, mp 15.7 °C) oxidizes and adsorbs―like other high-energy surfaces―adventitious contaminants. The interface between the EGaIn and the SA...
