A simple low temperature colloid-chemical synthetic method is reported for size controlled synthesis of hydrophobic silicon nanoparticles in the 1-10 nm range. These silicon nanoparticles show size dependent tunable visible emission from blue to red with fluorescence quantum yield in the range of 6-13%. These silicon nanoparticles can be subjected to extensive surface chemistry without signific...

in this study, multi wall carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (cvd) method using two different catalysts (fe nanoparticles) and (ni nanoparticles) with  two different substrates: quartz and alumina. acetylene gas was used as a carbon source and argon as a carrier gas at different temperatures and different times to study the effects of these parameters on cnt...

The paper proposes a set of technical tools for solving the problem ensuring uniformity measurements micro- and nanoparticles. To do this, it is necessary to ensure traceabilityof particle size unit length – meter, as well equivalent diameters used in various dispersed media (aerosols suspensions). traceability diameter proposed use nanomeasuring machine with an atomic force microscope probing ...

A multi-spark discharge generator was used for the synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were obtained in the form of fractal-like agglomerates with an average size of 30-60 nm consisting of primary spherical nanoparticles with a diameter of about 7-8 nm according to TEM measurements. We found that changing the operating parameters of the generator energy of the capacitor (2 to18 J...

Superparamagnetic single crystal single domain Co nanoparticles of 6 nm in diameter evaporated onto highly pyrolytic oriented graphite spontaneously self-assemble into super structures with an elongated shape. These structures have been studied by optical and scanning electron microscopies, atomic and magnetic force microscopy, electron dispersive X-ray analysis, and SQUID magnetometry. We prop...

Optical properties of polymer capped gold nanoparticles of various sizes (diameter 3-6 nm) have been studied. We present a new scheme to extract size dependent variation of total dielectric function of gold nanoparticles from measured UV-Vis absorption data. The new scheme can also be used, in principle, for other related systems as well. We show how quantum effect, surface atomic co ordination...

The diameter of well-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays (ZNAs) grown on Si substrates has been well controlled from 150nm to 40nm by two-step chemical bath deposition method (CBD), i.e. substrate pretreatment with spin coating to form ZnO nanoparticles seed layer and CBD growth. The effects of ZnO nanoparticles density and diameter on size and alignment of ZNAs were investigated in detail by atomic for...

Gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) nanoparticles with very small size and narrow size distribution were synthesized by infiltration of Gd(NO3)3·6H2O as an oxide precursor into the pores of SBA-15 mesoporous silica using a wet-impregnation technique. High resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction show that during the hydrothermal treatment of the precursor at 550 °C, gadolinium oxi...

The present review article covers work done in the cluster NPBIOMEM in the DFG priority programme SPP 1313 and focuses on synthesis and characterization of fluorescent silica and ceria nanoparticles. Synthetic methods for labelling of silica and polyorganosiloxane/silica core-shell nanoparticles with perylenediimide derivatives are described, as well as the modification of the shell with thiol ...

We have developed a method of forming platinum (Pt) nanoparticles using a metal organic chemical fluid deposition (MOCFD) process employing a supercritical fluid (SCF), and have demonstrated the synthesis of dispersed Pt nanoparticles on the surfaces of carbon nanowalls (CNWs), two-dimensional carbon nanostructures, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). By using SCF-MOCFD with supercritical carbon dioxi...
