CdSe/CdSe1-xTex core/crown heteronanoplatelets: tuning the excitonic properties without changing the thickness

Kelestemur Y.; Guzelturk, B.; Erdem, O.; Olutas M.; Erdem, T.; Usanmaz, C. F.; Gungor K.; Demir, H. V. (American Chemical Society, 2017)

Here we designed and synthesized CdSe/CdSe1-xTex core/crown nanoplatelets (NPLs) with controlled crown compositions by using the core-seeded-growth approach. We confirmed the uniform growth of the crown regions with ...

Chiral single-wall gold nanotubes

Senger, R. T.; Dag, S.; Ciraci, S. (American Physical Society, 2004)

The formation of freestanding and tip-suspended chiral-wall (n,m) nanotubes, which were composed of helical atomic strands, from gold atoms was investigated using first-principles calculations, where (n,m) notation defines ...

Compositional homogeneity in a medical-grade stainless steel sintered with a Mn-Si additive

Salahinejad, E.; Hadianfard, M.J.; Ghaffari, M.; Mashhadi, S.B.; Okyay, A., K. (Elsevier, 2012-06-09)

In this paper, chemical composition uniformity in amorphous/ nanocrystallization medical-grade stainless steel (ASTM ID: F2581) sintered with a Mn-Si additive was studied via scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive ...

Confined linear carbon chains as a route to bulk carbyne

Shi, L.; Rohringer, P.; Suenaga, K.; Niimi, Y.; Kotakoski, J.; Meyer, J. C.; Peterlik, H.; Wanko, M.; Cahangirov, S.; Rubio, A.; Lapin, Z. J.; Novotny, L.; Ayala, P.; Pichler, T. (Nature Publishing Group, 2016-04)

Strong chemical activity and extreme instability in ambient conditions characterize carbyne, an infinite sp1 hybridized carbon chain. As a result, much less has been explored about carbyne as compared to other carbon ...

Cubic-phase zirconia nano-island growth using atomic layer deposition and application in low-power charge-trapping nonvolatile-memory devices

El-Atab, N.; Ulusoy, T. G.; Ghobadi, A.; Suh, J.; Islam, R.; Okyay, A. K.; Saraswat, K.; Nayfeh, A. (Institute of Physics Publishing Ltd., 2017)

The manipulation of matter at the nanoscale enables the generation of properties in a material that would otherwise be challenging or impossible to realize in the bulk state. Here, we demonstrate growth of zirconia ...

Dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in an aqueous medium by water-dispersible conjugated polymer nanoparticles

Baykal, B.; Ibrahimova, V.; Er, G.; Bengü, E.; Tuncel, D. (2010)

Vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) synthesized by the alcohol catalytic CVD (ACCVD) technique are dispersed in water with the aid of water-dispersible conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs). The ...

Effects of laser ablated silver nanoparticles on Lemna minor
