Combined plasmonic nanocrystals and metal–organic framework thin-films are fabricated for sensing gases in the near-infrared range. This nanocomposite thin-film shows a highly sensitive response in near-infrared absorption, which is attributed to preconcentration of gas molecules in metal–organic framework pores causing close proximity to the electromagnetic fields at the plasmonic nanocrystal ...

a novel zr,ce-tio2/sio2 nanocomposite thin film was successfully prepared with various amounts of zr4+ and ce4+ as codopant ions for self-cleaning applications. a thin film was coated on a tile substrate by dip-coating and porous zr,ce-tio2/sio2 was obtained after heat treatment for 2 hours at 500 °c. the sem images and xrd pattern showed that the optimum amount of doping ions in relation to ti...

Vertical interfaces in vertically aligned nanocomposite thin films have been approved to be an effective method to manipulate functionalities. However, several challenges with regard to the understanding on the physical process underlying the manipulation still remain. In this work, because of the ordered interfaces and large interfacial area, heteroepitaxial (BaTiO3)1-x:(Sm2O3)x thin films hav...

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...

The observation of electron emission from amorphous carbon thin films at low applied electric fields is explained in terms of an enhancement of the field brought about by dielectric inhomogeneities within the film. These inhomogeneities originate from the differences between conductive, spatially localized sp C clusters surrounded by a more insulating sp matrix. By a more complete understanding...

Recent research on the solution-based fabrication of inorganic thin films and organic/inorganic nanolaminates has ranged from fundamental studies of biomineralization to the synthesis of novel materials and devices. Highlights include the elucidation of how biogenics and model organic nucleants affect the form of the biomineral; synthesis of mesoscale nanocomposite films by surfactant templatin...
