Copper Displacement Deposition on Nanostructured Porous Silicon

Bandarenka H., Redko S., Nenzi P., Balucani M., Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics, BY

In the present work we have demonstrated nanosized structures fabrication by the copper displacement deposition on electrochemically etched porous silicon. Peculiarity of such method is the convergence of copper reduction with porous silicon dissolution. Principal [...]

Plasmon nanoparticle-generated photothermal bubbles as universal biomedical agents

Hleb E.Y., Yakush N.A., Hafner J.H., Drezek R.A., McNew J.A., Lapotko D.O., A. V. Lykov Heat & Mass Transfer Institute, BY

We report the concept and preliminary experimental evaluation of the new optical methods and agent, whose properties provide tunable effect from non-invasive optical sensing to selective mechanical damage at nano-scale and in living tissues and [...]

Method of LANTCET for cancer diagnostics and treatment at cell level

Hleb E.Y., Zastinskaya I.A., Ilyukova I.I., Semenenya I.N., Hafner J.H., Hanna E.Y., Myers J.N., Zhdanok S.A., Lapotko D.O., A. V. Lykov Heat & Mass Transfer Institute, BY

We have developed the method of LANTCET (laser-activated nano-thermolysis as a cell elimination technology) for selective detection and destruction of individual tumor cells by generating intracellular photothermal bubbles around the clusters of gold nanoparticles. Bare [...]

Multiscale Modelling and Simulation of Nanoparticle-reinforced Damping Materials

Kireitseu M., Bochkareva L.V., Altenbach H., Tomlinson G., UIIP National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, BY

Nanoparticle-reinforced composite material is a relatively new vibration damping technology entailing placement of numerous nanoparticles inside vibrating material structure that has wide applica-tions in areas of transportation (aerospace, auto, rail, maritime) and electronics. Carbon nanotubes [...]

Near-Field Electrodynamics of Atomically Doped Carbon Nanotubes

Bondarev I.V., Lambin Ph., The Belarusian State University, Minsk, BY

We have developed a quantum theory of near-field electrodynamical properties of carbon nanotubes. The theory was used to investigate spontaneous decay dynamics and van der Waals attraction of a single two-level atom close to a [...]
