Ion beam irradiation-induced nanoporous structure formation was investigated on GaSb, InSb, and Ge surfaces via controlled point defect creation using a focused ion beam (FIB). ‎This paper compares the nanoporous structure formation under the same extent of point defect creation while changing the accelerating voltage and ion dose. Although the same number of point defects were created in each ...

Free-standing nanoporous graphene was hydrogenated at about 60 at.% H uptake, as determined by the emerging of sp3 bonding component in C 1s core level investigated high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Fully unsupported graphane XPS under optical excitation 2.4 eV. At a laser fluence 1.6 mJ/cm2, partial irreversible dehydrogenation observed, which could be attributed either t...

Nanoporous Au-Fe alloy was synthesized via a wet chemistry route using ordered nanoporous silica as a hard template. The nanoporous Au-Fe consisted of aligned arrays of nanopores that were uniform in composition and ordered in hexagonal lattice, whereas Au-Fe nanoparticles synthesized without templates exhibited broad dispersions in the chemical composition and/or particle size. Nanoporous Au-F...

Although Raney nickel made by dealloying has been used as a heterogeneous catalyst in a variety of organic syntheses for more than 80 years, only recently scientists have begun to realize that dealloying can generate nanoporous alloys with extraordinary structural characteristics. Herein, we achieved successful synthesis of a variety of monodisperse alloy nanoporous nanoparticles via a facile c...

graphene, after its first production in 2004 have received lots of attentions from researchers because of its unique properties. high mobility, high sensitivity, high selectivity and high surface area make graphene excellent choice for bio application. one of promising graphene base device that has amazingly high sensitivity is graphene field-effect transistor (gfet). this review selectively su...

Ordered gold nanoparticle arrays with high lateral density of 6.87 × 1010 nanoparticles cm−2, which are stable up to temperatures of 600 ◦C, were fabricated. To this end, nanoparticles formed by thermal vacuum evaporation of Au were immobilized within the pores of nanoporous silicon wafers prepared by block copolymer lithography coupled with dry plasma etching. Even after high-temperature treat...

The reduction of nanodevices has given recent attention to nanoporous materials due to their structure and geometry. However, the thermophysical properties of these materials are relatively unknown. In this article, an expression for thermal conductivity of nanoporous structures is derived based on the assumption that the finite size of the ligaments leads to electron-ligament wall scattering. ...

Nanoporous Solid-Liquid core waveguides were prepared by UV induced surface modification of hydrophobic nanoporous polymers. With this method, the index contrast (deltan = 0.20) is a result of selective water infiltration. The waveguide core is defined by UV light, rendering the exposed part of a nanoporous polymer block hydrophilic. A propagation loss of 0.62 dB/mm and a bend loss of 0.81 dB/9...

Two-dimensional nanomaterials, such as graphene, have been extensively studied because of their outstanding physical properties. Structure and geometry optimization nanopores on materials is beneficial for performances in real-world engineering applications, like water desalination. However, the process often involves very large number experiments or simulations which are expensive time-consumi...

Solid state nanoporous membranes show great potential as support structures for biointerfaces. In this paper, we present a technique for fabricating nanoporous alumina membranes under constant-flow conditions in a microfluidic environment. This approach allows the direct integration of the fabrication process into a microfluidic setup for performing biological experiments without the need to tr...
