The physical, chemical and optical properties of nano-scale colloids depend on their material composition, size and shape. There is a great interest in using nano-colloids for photo-thermal ablation, drug delivery and many other biomedical applications. Gold is particularly used because of its low toxicity. A property of metal nano-colloids is that they can have a strong surface plasmon resonan...

recovery of gold and other valuable metals from electronic scrap involves a complex metallurgical flow sheet and requires state-of-the-art recovery technologies that are available in large-scale, integrated smelter and refinery operations. at the end of their use, electronic and other electrical product scrap offer an important recycling potential for the secondary supply of gold and silver int...

in order to study the effects of silver nano particles, magnetic field in corporation with barium, lithium and micronutrient fertilizers on wheat, an experiment was conducted at research farm of razavi research and technology institute in 2008. experiment carried out with eigth treatments based on randomized complete block design with four replications. treatments were including (t1) magnetic f...

Single-particle optical investigations have greatly improved our understanding of the fundamental properties of nano-objects, avoiding the spurious inhomogeneous effects that affect ensemble experiments. Correlation with high-resolution imaging techniques providing morphological information (e.g. electron microscopy) allows a quantitative interpretation of the optical measurements by means of a...

In this research, sensing performance of mono and bimetallic nanophotonics SERS sensors gold-silver nano-columns for the detection chlorpyrifos was investigated. For optimum substrates Gold-silver/nano-column surface-enhanced, Raman scattering (SERS) achieved with silicon substrate. By combining Ag activity Au chemical stability Si large field enhancement, Au-Ag/nano-columns substrate revealed ...

Linked plasmonic nanoparticles made of noble metal materials exhibit significant enhancement of the amplitude of electromagnetic-field and strongly frequency-selective response at visible ranges which are distinct from that of individual nanoparicles. We introduce recent progress in the fabrication processes to achieve linked plasmonic nanostructures with various configurations. It includes the...

We present a novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) configuration based on narrow groove (sub-15 nm) plasmonic nano-gratings such that normally incident radiation can be coupled into surface plasmons without the use of prism-coupling based total internal reflection, as in the classical Kretschmann configuration. This eliminates the angular dependence requirements of SPR-based sensing and allows ...

In recent years, nanoparticles of noble metals such as gold, silver and palladium have drawn immense attention due to the wide range of new applications in various fields of industry. Particularly, silver nanoparticles have significant interest in medical applications such as very effective antibacterial agents without the toxic effects, and industry application such as inkjet inks containing w...

Two-dimensional laminar hemodynamics through a diseased artery featuring an overlapped stenosis was simulated theoretically and computationally. This study presented mathematical model for the unsteady blood flow with hybrid biocompatible nanoparticles (Silver Gold) inspired by drug delivery applications. A modified Tiwari-Das volume fraction adopted nanoscale effects. Motivated magneto-hemodyn...
