This paper describes a process for the fabrication and positioning of nanowires (of Au, Pd, and conjugated polymers) embedded in thin epoxy slabs. The procedure has four steps: (i) coembedding a thin film of metal or conducting polymer with a thin film of nickel metal (Ni) in epoxy; (ii) sectioning the embedded structures into nanowires with an ultramicrotome ("nanoskiving"); (iii) floating the...

SnO2 nanowires have been prepared using the active carbon reaction with the fine SnO2 powder at low temperature (700 8C). These nanowires show rectangular cross-section, with their widths ranging from 10 to 50 nm. Branched nanowires with definite included angle are also observed in these products. The morphology and microstructure of the single crystalline SnO2 nanowires and the branched nanowi...

The structures of free-standing gold nanowires are studied by using molecular-dynamics-based genetic algorithm simulations. Helical and multiwalled cylindrical structures are found for the thinner nanowires, while bulk-like fcc structures eventually form in the thicker nanowires up to 3 nm in diameter. This noncrystalline-crystalline transition starts from the core region of nanowires. The vibr...

Fully-Transparent Solar-Blind Photodetectors In article number 2200192, Wanjun Li, Ping-An Yang, Lijuan Ye, and co-workers propose a strategy to construct fully transparent high-performance solar-blind deep ultraviolet photodetector arrays based on ε-Ga2O3 films using indium tin oxide (ITO), gallium zinc (IGZO), aluminum (AZO) conductive oxides as electrodes. addition, proof-of-concept imaging ...

Ultra optical glasses are proposed for attaining noble glazes of high reflection and shine. In addition, these glasses can be used as semi-mirrors and optical instruments. In this reseach attempts were devoted mainly to introduce a glass system with the highest possible refractive index in which the highest reflection is desirable. Thus different amounts of heavy metal oxides modifiers, such as...

This paper describes a physical-organic study of the effect of uncharged, polar, functional groups on the rate of charge transport by tunneling across selfassembled monolayer (SAM)-based large-area junctions of the form AgS(CH2)nM(CH2)mT//Ga2O3/EGaIn. Here Ag is a template-stripped silver substrate, -Mand -T are “middle” and “terminal” functional groups, and EGaIn is eutectic gallium−indium all...

In this study, we synthesis one-dimensional (1D) manganese(III) Schiff base coordination polymer [Mn(Brsalophen)(μ1,3-N3)]n by reaction of MnCl2·6H2O and tetradentate Schiff base ligand Brsalophen at the presence of NaN3 in methanol and characterized by elemental analyses (CHN) and FT-IR spectroscopy. It was used as a new precurs...
