Assembly of nanowires into ordered macroscopic structures with new functionalities has been a recent focus. In this Letter, we report a new route for ordering hydrophilic Ag nanowires with high aspect ratio by flowing through a glass capillary. The present glass capillary with well-defined silver nanowire films inside can serve as a portable and reusable substrate for surface-enhanced Raman spe...

We generated arrays of silver wires with a height of 1 atom and an average width of 11 atoms on the Si(557) surface via self-assembly with local × 3 3 order, and investigated the 1D plasmon formation in them using a combination of highresolution electron loss spectroscopy with low-energy electron diffraction. After a series of thermal desorption experiments followed by adding small concentratio...

We report the synthesis and single crystal X-ray analysis of C(84) ().AgTPP (Ag tetraphenylporphyrin) cocrystal-the first ordered crystal structure containing a pristine higher fullerene.

The present scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study describes the growth of silver-palladium heterostructures at room temperature, with ab initio simulations of ordered AgPd phases supporting the interpretation of STM images. First, the growth of Pd on an Ag(111) surface proceeds in a multilayer mode, leading to the formation of a columnar structure. Then, upon Ag deposition on this structure...

We present growth studies of InSb nanowires grown directly on [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] substrates. The nanowires were synthesized in a chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) system and are of cubic zinc blende structure. To initiate nanowire nucleation we used lithographically positioned silver (Ag) seed particles. Up to 87% of the nanowires nucleate at the lithographically pre-defined ...

Direct ethanol fuel cells have broad application prospects, but there are still some issues such as slow oxidation kinetics and poisoning effects of intermediates in the anodic reduction reaction (EOR). Herein, a series few-layer Ag-coated ordered mesoporous Pt nanocrystals ([email protected]) with different Ag shell thicknesses prepared by combining hard templating situ methods. Benefiting fro...

The room temperature growth and ordering of (porphyrinato)nickel (II) (or nickel (II) porphine, NiP) molecules on a Ag(111) surface have been investigated using scanning tunnelling microscopy and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). At a coverage of one monolayer, NiP molecules form a well-ordered molecular layer, having a hexagonal structure, on the Ag(111) surface. Porphyrin molecules have...

Optimizing substrate characterization to grow 2D Si layers on surfaces is a major issue toward the development of synthesis techniques promising silicene. We have used inverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPES) study electronic band structure an ordered layer the3×3-Ag/Si(111) surface (3-Ag). Exploiting large upwards bending the3-Ag substrate, we could investigate evolution unoccupied and interf...

In the title compound, [AgBr(C(18)H(15)P)(3)]·C(2)H(3)N·H(2)O, the coordination of the Ag atom is close to ideal tetra-hedral, with the three Ag-P bond lengths almost equal [2.5441 (10), 2.5523 (9) and 2.5647 (10) ° A] and the Ag-Br bond slightly longer [2.7242 (5) Å]. The coordination tetra-hedron is slightly flattened, the Ag atom is closer to the PPP plane; the P-Ag-P angles are wider than t...
