A simple and general procedure has been developed for the syntheses of ordered largepore (up to 14 nm) mesoporous metal oxides, including TiO2, ZrO2, Nb2O5, Ta2O5, Al2O3, SiO2, SnO2, WO3, HfO2, and mixed oxides SiAlOy, Al2TiOy, ZrTiOy, SiTiOy, ZrW2Oy. Amphiphilic poly(alkylene oxide) block copolymers were used as structure-directing agents in nonaqueous solutions for organizing the network-form...

Nanostructured and nanoporous metal oxide thin films are rarely accessible by standard synthetic approaches but highly desired for many applications, e.g. as electrodes, transparent conducting coatings, sensors or surface catalysts. Template based sol–gel chemistry combined with post-synthetic hydrothermal treatment allows now the synthesis of nanocrystalline mesostructured porous thin films of...

We report a unique growth and migration behavior of Ge nanocrystallites mediated by the presence of Si interstitials under thermal annealing at 900°C within an H2O ambient. The Ge nanocrystallites were previously generated by the selective oxidation of SiGe nanopillars and appeared to be very sensitive to the presence of Si interstitials that come either from adjacent Si3N4 layers or from withi...

The two-photon absorption (TPA) spectrum is an important optical property of semiconductors. It brings valuable information complementary to the one-photon absorption spectrum, gives the limits to the optical transparency of materials, and causes laserinduced damages. Recently, the TPA spectrum of direct-gap nanocrystallites was calculated by Cotter et al. [1] by using the effective-mass approx...

We have obtained unique periodic oxide nanocrystallites on the surface of indium phosphide. The morphological characteristics structures and their component composition are investigated in article. main attention is focused explaining mechanism structures, which packed by ‘parquet floor’ type. based sliding sources rectangular-shaped dislocation loops has been proposed. system secondary (ingoin...

PURPOSE This study aimed to accurately analyze the relationship between calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone formation and the components of urinary nanocrystallites. METHOD High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction, fast Fourier transformation of HRTEM, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were performed to analyze the components of these nanocr...

Continuous-state variable conductivity of nickel oxide/porous silicon nanocomposite thin films indicative of memristance is reported and a mathematical model for the observed behavior is proposed. The variable conductivity phenomena observed are shown to depend on the composition of the films. A generalized composite material conductivity model that explains the time-varying, field-dependent co...

This paper has reported on the electrical and nonstructural of polymer-based materials in corporation NiO (Nickel oxide) in concentrations of 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.8% by weight of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) polymer. Nanocrystallites phases and properties were characterized with using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transfer infrared radiation (FTIR),Energy distribution X-ray(EDX) techniques and X-Map ...
