Dynamics of stimulated emission and ultrafast lasing in ZnO nano-multipods has been investigated with a femtosecond optical Kerr shutter technique. Under band-to-band excitation with high density, stimulated emission is observed around 395-400 nm with a mode-like structure. The stimulated emission emerges with an onset time of ∼2 ps and then the intensity gradually decreases with time having a ...

Using transmission electron microscopy, a new nano-phase structure of Zn0.75Ox induced by Zn-vacancy has been discovered to grow on wurtzite ZnO nanobelts. The superstructure grows epitaxial from the f0 110g surface of the wurtzite ZnO nanobelts and can be fitted as an orthorhombic structure, with lattice parameters a 0Z2a, b0z ffiffiffi 3 p a and c 0Zc, where a and c are the lattice parameters...

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nano-superstructures (NSSs) have attracted intense research interests due to their large surface areas and unique properties. In this work, we report an original approach to synthesize ZnO NSSs in a one-step manner with a hydrothermal method. The crystalline structures and growth mechanism can be understood by surface energy calculations. The reaction kinetics was investigated ...

A novel nanopackaging film was synthesized by incorporating ZnO nanoparticles into a poly-lactic acid (PLA) matrix, and its effect on the quality of fresh-cut apple during the period of preservation was investigated at 4 ± 1 °C for 14 days. Six wt % cinnamaldehyde was added into the nano-blend film. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis showed a rougher cross-section of the nano-blend fil...

in this research between 3-dimensional and axisymmetric modeling for movement of nano-particles in passing through a aerodynamic lens, and also between these models and famous model of wang & liu was compared. for this purpose, output of nano-particles penetration, divergence angel, and nano-particle velocity with wang & liu model was compared. geometrical model used for aerodynamic lens compar...

background sulfur oxides released from the burning of oil causes severe environmental pollution. the sulfur can be removed via the 4s pathway in biodesulfurization (bds). immobilization approaches have been developed to prevent cell contamination of oil during the bds process. objectives the encapsulation of rhodococcus erythropolis r1 in calcium alginate beads was studied in order to enhance c...

in the current paper, finite element method is employed for numerical simulations and the study of influential parameters on elastic modulus of polymer-matrix nano-composites. effects of different key parameters including particle elastic modulus, interphase elastic modulus, matrix elastic modulus, interphase thickness and particle volume fraction on total elastic modulus of nano-composite mate...

Six hundred 1-d old male broilers (Ross 308) were assigned into four experimental groups; each was composed of 5replications of 30 birds including control (0), 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg nano-ZnO in the basal diets. Birds were exposed to low ambient temperature (15 to 18 ˚C) to induce ascites. Blood parameters including; activity of aspartate transferase (AST), alanine transferase (ALT), lactate dehyd...
