Evolution of plate-like precipitate of the W phase in an Al-1.9Cu-0.3Mg-0.2Ag (at.%) alloy has been investigated by three dimensional atom probe (3DAP) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) techniques. In an as-quenched alloy, all solute atoms are uniformly dissolved. After 5 s aging at 180¡C, coclusters of Ag and Mg atoms are present. Initially, these co-clusters do not have well defined ...

In recent years, since the introduction of bulk heterojunction concept in an organic solar cell, the efficiency is increased to ∼6%. The benefits of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells are drawing interest for applications in next-generation solar cells. In this study, we analyze the optimal top electrode for practical polymer solar cells (PSC) fabrication by utilizing the optical pro...

The enhancement in the spontaneous emission rate (SER) for Ag, Au, and Al films on multilayer Si nanocrystals (SiNCs) was probed with time-resolved cathodoluminescence (CL). The SiNCs were grown on Si(100) using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Electron-hole pairs were generated in the metal-covered SiNCs by injecting a pulsed high-energy electron beam through the thin metal films, wh...

Metallic alloys are normally composed of multiple constituent elements in order to achieve integration of a plurality of properties required in technological applications. However, conventional alloy development paradigm, by sequential trial-and-error approach, requires completely unrelated strategies to optimize compositions out of a vast phase space, making alloy development time consuming an...

Recent years have seen remarkable progress in research and development of metal nanoparticles (NPs) that takes advantage of their unique optical, magnetic, electronic, catalytic and other physicochemical properties, in a wide range of practical and potential applications such as energy, environmental, biomedical and chemical engineering (Feldheim & Foss, 2002; Ma et al., 2006; Jena & Raj, 2008;...

We revealed the processes for activation, mechanically induced self-sustaining reaction (MSR) and crystal growth of Ag in mechanochemical reduction AgCl with Al by situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction.

CO-selective metals (e.g., Ag) on Cu catalysts improve the selectivity of multi-carbon (C 2+ ) products in electrochemical CO 2 reduction. However, origin improvement remains unclear due to convolution tandem and interface effects. Here, Ag@C@Cu core-shell were synthesized, which thin carbon interlayer inhibited direct interaction between Ag while still allowing reduction Ag, thus isolating eff...

PURPOSE To evaluate axial length (AL) measurement failure rate with the IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss AG, Germany) and Lenstar LS 900 (Haag-Streit AG, Switzerland) in eyes with cataract. METHODS Two hundred and ninety-six eyes of 170 patients with cataract were enrolled. Cataract type and severity were graded using the Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III) and AL measurements were attem...
