Justin M. Gorham, Robert I. MacCuspie, Kate L. Klein, D H. Fairbrother, Richard D. Holbrook
Due to the increasing use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in consumer products, it is essential to understand how variables, such as light exposure, may change the physical and chemical characteristics of AgNP suspensions. To this end, the effect of 300 nm

Effects of Ligand Monolayers on Catalytic Nickel Nanoparticles for Synthesizing Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanofibers

March 16, 2011

Kate L. Klein, Mehmet Sarac, Robert Wilson, Aaron C. Johnston-Peck, Junwei Wang, Ryan Pearce, Anatoli V. Melechko, Joseph B. Tracy
Vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (VACNFs) were synthesized using ligand-stabilized Ni nanoparticle (NP) catalysts and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Using chemically-synthesized Ni NPs enables facile preparation of VACNF arrays with

Tranmission Electron Microscopy with a Liquid Flow Cell

January 20, 2011

Kate L. Klein, Ian M. Anderson, N. de Jonge
The imaging of microscopic structures at nanometer-scale spatial resolution in a liquid environment is of interest for a wide range of studies. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) provides a method for imaging with the requisite spatial resolution, but
