Fabrication of Metal Oxide Coaxial Nanotubes using Atomic Layer Deposition

Jeong D-K, Oh T-K, Shin H-J, Jung W.-G., Lee J-G, Sung M-M, Kim J-Y, Kookmin University, KR

We fabricated of nanotubular structures of TiO2 and ZrO2 using the gas-phase fabrication method atomic layer deposition (ALD) with nanoporous structure of polycarbonate (PC) templates. Contact printed alkylsiloxane monolayers on both sides of PCs were [...]

Bulk Nanostructured Metals by Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD)

Zehetbauer M.J., Krystian M., Lacom W., Vienna University, AT

The top-down methods of “Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD)” have been shown to have the potential for directly converting conventional metals into submicron- or nano-scaled bulk materials. These techniques exhibit significant advantages compared to bottom-up ones: [...]

Surface Plasmon Absorption of Metallic Nanostructures in an Amplifying Medium

Smuk A.Y., Lawandy N.M., Solaris Nanosciences Corporation, US

Numerous applications that rely on the local field enhancement associated with the Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) have been suggested. With host material being an integral part in forming SPR, systems with optically transparent host have [...]

First-Principles Studies of SnS2 Nanotubes

Chang H., In E., Kong K-J, Lee J-O, Choi Y., Ryu B-H, Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology, KR

First principles calculations are used to predict the stability and electronic structures of SnS2 nanotubes. Optimization of several structures and their corresponding strain energies confirms the stability of SnS2 nanotube structures. Band structure calculations show [...]

Growth of 3C-SiC Nanowires on Nickel Coated Si(100) Substrate using Dichloromethylvinylsilane and Diethylmethylsilane by MOCVD Method

Kang B.-C., Hyun J.S., Boo J.-H., Sungkyunkwan University, KR

3C-SiC nanowires have been deposited on nickel coated Si(100) substrates using single source precursors by thermal metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method. Dichloromethylvinylsilane (CH2CHSiC(CH3)Cl2) and diethylmethylsilane (CH3 SiH(C2H5)2) were used as a single precursor without [...]
