Present work demonstrates a detail simulation results on enhanced generation of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) field condition in a periodically varying height metal nanopillars. This simulation work has been carried out using COMSOL Multiphysics software. LSPR field condition study in metal nanostructure is important for different fields of applications which include chemical and b...

Nano-structured copper oxides were successfully prepared through direct calcination of 1D ladderlike metal-organic framework [Cu2(btec)(2,2'-bipy)2]∞, (btec = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate and 2,2'-bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and porous coordination polymer [Cu(BDC)(bipy)](BDCH2), (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate; bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine). The nano-structure of the as-synthesized samples are charac...

Metal matrix composite (MMC) is engineered combination of the metal (matrix) and hard particle (reinforcement) to get tailored properties. MMCs are either in use or prototyping for the space shuttle, commercial airliners, electronic substrates, automobiles, golf clubs, and a variety of other applications.In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced aluminum MMCs were synthesized by DPDS fo...

Fabrication of nano-structured materials has been developed by performing pulsed laser ablation of copper, gold, and silver plates in supercritical CO2. The metal nano-structured particles were successfully generated with allowing the selective generation of clusters. Laser ablation was performed with an excitation wavelength of 532 nm. On the basis of the experimental result, both surface of a...

Ultrathin nanocomposite films were prepared on solid supports via adsorption of organic and inorganic molecules from solution. Coordination geometry for transition metal ions was preserved by embedding metal ligands into titanium oxide gel films, and porous titanium oxide films were prepared by selective removal of organic components from polymer/metal oxide composite films using oxygen plasma ...

Serious cases of corrosion of metallic structures under both alternating current (ac) and cathodic protection (cp) have been reported. The objective of this research is to propose a mechanism by which ac affects the nano sized/structured surface films formed on metals under cp. A model will be proposed and experimentally validated, in order to relate the metal corrosiveness to its nano sized/st...

This article reviews the application of metal-containing nanoparticles and nano-structured particles to fingermark detection. This area of research is attracting significant interest as advances in nanoscience are being incorporated into the field of forensic fingermark detection. Although more research is needed before some of the techniques presented can be implemented in routine casework, na...
