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 precursor to prepare spinel type manganese oxide nanowires by a facile so...

We have synthesized and characterized three types of perovskite alkaline niobate nanowires: NaNbO(3), KNbO(3), and LiNbO(3) (XNbO(3)). All three types of nanowires exhibit strong nonlinear response. Confocal imaging has been employed to quantitatively compare the efficiency of synthesized nanowires to generate second harmonic signal and to show that LiNbO(3) nanowires exhibit the strongest nonl...

The thermal conductivity of individual single-crystalline Bi nanowires grown by the on-film formation of nanowires (ON-OFF) has been investigated. We observed that the thermal conductivity of single-crystalline Bi nanowires is highly anisotropic. Thermal conductivity of nanowires (diameter ∼100 nm) in the off-axis [102] and [110] directions exhibits a difference of ∼7.0 W/m·K. The thermal condu...

Gallium oxide (?-Ga2O3) is emerging as a promising wide-bandgap semiconductor for optoelectronic and high-power electronic devices. In this study, deep-level defects were investigated in pulsed-laser-deposited epitaxial films of ?-Ga2O3. A deep ultraviolet photodetector (DUV) fabricated on ?-Ga2O3 film showed slow decay time 1.58 s after switching off 250 nm wavelength illumination. Generally, ...

piezoelectric nanobeams having circular, rectangular and hexagonal cross-sections are synthesized and used in various nano structures; however, piezoelectric nanobeams with hexagonal cross-sections have not been studied in detail. in particular, the physical mechanisms of the surface effect and the role of surface stress, surface elasticity and surface piezoelectricity have not been discussed t...

In this paper, Two new Bi2O3-GeO2-Ga2O3 glasses (one presence of BaF2) doped with 1mol% Tm2O3 were prepared by melt-quenching technique. Differential thermal analysis (DTA), the absorption, Raman, IR spectra and fluorescence spectra were measured. The Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters, emission cross section, absorption cross section, and gain coefficient of Tm(3+) ions were comparatively investi...

Metallic gallium dissolves slowly in dilute mineral acids but rapidly in aqua regia and concentrated sodium hydroxide. In its compounds, the valency is +3. Its oxygen compounds resemble those of aluminum in that there are highand lowtemperature forms of Ga2O3 and two hydroxides, Ga(OH)3 and GaO·OH. Substances which lower the hydrogen ion concentration throw down a white gelatinous precipitate f...

The introduction of stable isotopes in the fabrication of semiconductor nanowires provides an additional degree of freedom to manipulate their basic properties, design an entirely new class of devices, and highlight subtle but important nanoscale and quantum phenomena. With this perspective, we report on phonon engineering in metal-catalyzed silicon nanowires with tailor-made isotopic compositi...

Single-crystalline, high-quality branched ZnTe-core/ZnO-branch nanoheterostructures were synthesized by an in situ strategy in an environmental scanning electron microscope. Composition and structure characterization confirmed that ZnO nanowires were perfectly epitaxially grown on ZnTe nanowires as branches. Noticeably, growth temperature plays a crucial role in determining the density and diam...

We perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the effect of polar surfaces on the thermal transport in zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires. We find that the thermal conductivity of nanowires with free polar (0001) surfaces is much higher than that of nanowires that have been stabilized with reduced charges on the polar (0001) surfaces, and also hexagonal nanowires without any transverse ...
