li2ni8o10 and limn2o4 nanoparticles as cathode materials of lithium ion battery, were successfully synthesized using lithium acetate, nickel and manganese acetate as li, ni and mn sources and stearic acid as a complexing reagent. the structure of the obtained products were characterized by ft-ir and xrd. the shape, size and distribution of the li2ni8o10 and limn2o4 nanoparticles were observed b...

The Photoexcited carrier lifetime (τ) and peak to valley transmission difference (ΔTp-v) in direct and indirect band gap crystals has been investigated by the use of single beam open and closed aperture z-scan technique using frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser. The peak to valley transmission difference (ΔTp-v) is found to be of the order of 10-2 in case of direct band gap crystals and of the order...

sol-gel derived sulfur modified and pure zno nanorod were prepared using zinc chloride and thiocarbamide as raw materials. prepared nanorods were characterized by means of x-ray diffraction (xrd), thermogravimetry- differential scanning calorimetry (tg–dsc), uv- vis absorption spectroscopy, brunauer emmett teller (bet) specific surface area and barrett joyner halenda (bjh) pore size distributio...

Bilayer graphene (BLG) with a tunable band gap appears interesting as an alternative to graphene for practical applications; thus, its transport properties are being actively pursued. Using density functional theory and perturbation analysis, we investigated, under an external electric field, the electronic properties of BLG in various stackings relevant to recently observed complex structures....

Most of the applications of the nanostructures dependent on the morphologies which affects the opto-electronics properties. This research article provides a pathway of guiding optical properties like band-gap and fluorescence properties by controlled growth of nano-rods, flowers, -needles ortubes without external chemical doping, by simple hydrothermal method by controlling over synthesis param...

A plate periodically bonded with piezoelectric patches on its surfaces is considered. The differential quadrature element method is used to solve the wave motion equation for the two-dimensional periodic structure. The method is very simple and easy to implement. Based on the method, band structures for in-plane wave propagating in the periodic piezoelectric plate are studied, from which the fr...

Colloidal photonic crystals display peculiar optical properties that make them particularly suitable for application in different fields. However, the low packing fraction of the targeted structures usually poses a real challenge in the fabrication stage. Here, we propose a route to colloidal photonic crystals via a binary mixture of hard tetramers and hard spheres. By combining theory and comp...

Superconducting phase diagram of the extended Hubbard model supplemented with interaction and hopping terms exceeding nearest neighbour distance in range is analysed systematically at different band-filling and temperature values in a mean-field approximation. The obtained results clearly underline the importance of next-nearest neighbour terms in developing the main superconducting properties ...
