The magnetoresistance of a one-dimensional electron gas in a metallic ferromagnetic nanowire containing two atomic-size domain walls has been investigated in the presence of spin-orbit interaction. The magnetoresistance is calculated in the ballistic regime, within the Landauer-Büttiker formalism. It has been demonstrated that the conductance of a magnetic nanowire with double domain walls...

: Novel fluffy Fe@α-Fe2O3 core-shell nanowires have been synthesized using the chemical reaction of ferrous sulfate and sodium borohydride, as well as the post-annealing process in air. The coercivity of the as-synthesized nanowires is above 684 Oe in the temperature range of 5 to 300 K, which is significantly higher than that of the bulk Fe (approximately 0.9 Oe). Through the annealing process...

Recent investigations of semiconductor nanowires have provided strong evidence for enhanced light absorption, which has been attributed to nanowire structures functioning as optical cavities. Precise synthetic control of nanowire parameters including chemical composition and morphology has also led to dramatic modulation of absorption properties. Here we report finite-difference time-domain (FD...

Aeromonas hydrophila is a facultative anaerobe which, under conditions of oxygen depletion, uses Fe(III) as electron acceptor. A. hydrophila produces pili during growth with Fe(III). The study was focused on the characterization of the morphology, the electrical properties and the nature of the bacterial pili. Scanning electron microscopy and conductive-probe atomic force microscopy revealed th...

in the present work we use the negativity to study the effect of rashba parameter on the thermal entanglement ofelectronic spin and subband states inside a quasi-one-dimensional rashba nanowire, in a perpendicular uniformmagnetic field. we assume that the nanowire is held at a temperature t, so that both spin and subband states, withdefinite probabilities, are present. the partially transposed ...

the efficient detection of charged biomolecules by biosensor with appropriate semiconducting nanomaterials and with optimum device geometry has caught tremendous research interest in the present decade. here, the performance of various label-free electronic biosensors to detect bio-molecules is investigated by simulation technique. silicon nanowire sensor, nanosphere sensor and double gate fiel...

In this thesis, I present a theoretical model for the Si core/SiGe shell core-shell nanowire system. A model for the single carrier pocket core-shell nanowire is first developed, along with the boundary conditions of a circular wire and sharp interfaces between the two media. A numerical scheme is then developed for the core-shell nanowire system, along with educated approximations for the nume...

Platinum (Pt) with foreign components has been considered as an effective approach to overcome CO poisoning, enhance the activity and decrease the usage of expensive Pt in fuel cells. In particular, PtFe is one of the superior binary Pt-based nanomaterial electrocatalysts for formic acid oxidation, which exhibits high resistance to CO poisoning and is a potential candidate for CO-tolerant alloy...

The authors experimentally demonstrate a simple and efficient approach for nucleating the catalytic chemical vapor deposition CVD growth of GaN nanowires, Ga2O3 nanowires, and Ga2O3 nanoribbons by using ion implantation of Fe+ into thermally grown SiO2 layers and subsequent annealing to form the catalyst nanoparticles. This work shows that ion implantation can be used as a versatile method to c...
