Impact of Porous Media Grain Size on the Transport of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

September 28, 2011
Author(s)
Nikolai Mattison, Denis O'Carroll, R. K. Rowe, Elijah Petersen
Nanomaterials possess unique physical, electrical and chemical properties which make them attractive for use in a wide range of applications. Through their use and eventual disposal, nanomaterials may ultimately be released into the subsurface environment

Formation and transfer of GaAsN nanostructure layers

September 27, 2011
Author(s)
Christopher L. Soles, Hyun W. Ro, A. Wood, N. Estrada, B. Dick, Y. Wang, Micheal Thouless, Rachel Goldman
Nanostructured materials with ultra-small crystallites (approaching the exciton Bohr radius) embedded in a solid-state matrix have great potential for optoelectronic and energy-conversion applications owing to the possibility of invoking quantum effects

Prototype cantilevers for quantitative lateral force microscopy

September 27, 2011
Author(s)
Mark Reitsma, Richard S. Gates, Lawrence H. Friedman, Robert F. Cook
Prototype cantilevers that enable quantitative micro- to nano-scale surface force measurements using contact-mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) are presented. The “Hammerhead” cantilevers allow precise optical lever system calibrations for cantilever

The Role of Iron Redox State in the Genotoxicity of Ultrafine Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

September 21, 2011
Author(s)
Neenu Singh, Gareth J. Jenkins, Bryant C. Nelson, Bryce J. Marquis, Thierry G. Maffeis, Andy P. Brown, Paul M. Williams, Chris J. Wright, Shareen H. Doak
Ultrafine superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USPION) hold great potential for revolutionising biomedical applications such as MRI, localised hyperthermia, and targeted drug delivery. Though evidence is increasing regarding the influence of

Rectangular Scale-Similar Etch Pits in Monocrystalline Diamond

September 15, 2011
Author(s)
Craig D. McGray, Richard A. Allen, Marc J. Cangemi, Jon C. Geist
Etching of monocrystalline diamond in oxygen and water vapor at 1100° C through small pores in a silicon nitride film produced smooth-walled rectangular cavities. The cavities were imaged by electron microscope and measured by interferometric microscopy

Selective Oxidation of Glycerol by Highly Active Bimetallic Catalysts at Ambient Temperature under Base Free Conditions

August 24, 2011
Author(s)
Andrew A. Herzing, Gemma L. Brett, Peter Miedziak, Nikolaos Dimitratos, Meenakshisundaram Sankar, Marco Conte, Jose A. Lopez-Sanchez, David W. Knight, Stuart H. Taylor, Graham J. Hutchings, Qian He, Christopher J. Kiely
AuPt or AuPd nanoparticles when supported on Mg(OH)2 are highly active for the selective oxidation of glycerol under base-free conditions at ambient temperatures. When bimetallic particles with the appropriate composition are prepared, catalysts with a

Potassium Induced Charge Transfer Effects in OPE-based Molecular Layers

August 11, 2011
Author(s)
Steven W. Robey, Gregory J. Dutton
The impact of potassium (K) addition on the electronic structure of oligo- (phenylene ethynylene) (OPE) and –NO2 substituted OPE (NO2-OPE) self-assembled monolayers was examined using ultraviolet photoemission. Addition below 0.5 K/molecule produced rigid

GaN Nanowires Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy

August 1, 2011
Author(s)
Kristine A. Bertness, Norman A. Sanford, Albert Davydov
The unique properties of GaN nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy are reviewed. These properties include the absence of residual strain, exclusion of most extended defects, long photoluminescence lifetime, low surface recombination velocity,and high
