Synthesis of nanocrystalline ZnO powder using ultrasonic atomization technique and application of its thick films for highly toxic gases

Patil L.A., Pratap College Amalner, IN

ABSTRACT: Nanocrystalline ZnO powder was prepared using ultrasonic atomization technique. Thick films of this powder were prepared using simple screen printing technique. Pt-modified-ZnO (platinum activated) films were obtained by dipping pure ZnO films into an [...]

Visible Photoluminescence Emission from Chemically Synthesized MWCNT/TiO2 Hybrid Nanostructure

Paul R., Kumbhakar P., Mitra A.K., National Institute of Technology, Durgapur, IN

We report here a simple chemical precipitation process to synthesize a heterostructure of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and TiO2 (titania) nanoparticles of average size 3.5 nm. The hybrid structure has been characterized by high resolution [...]

Role of interlayer interaction in the mechanical properties of a multi- walled carbon nanotube and a single-walled carbon nanotube bundle

Talukdar K., Mitra A.K., National Institute of Technology, Durgapur, IN

Molecular dynamics simulation is performed on a SWCNT bundle made up of four (5, 5) SWCNTs and on an armchair MWCNT taking Brenner’s 2nd generation reactive empirical bond order potential. The interlayer interaction in the [...]

Influence of oxygen vacancies on electronic and magnetic

Srinivas K., Venugopal Reddy P., Osmania University, IN

This original experimental research work foused on Ni doped SnO2 diluted magnetic nanorods with various invetigated results. A careful analysis has been done to understand phase purity, distribution of oxygen vacancacies and surface effects. In [...]

Effect of surface reconstruction on the growth of self-assembled Ag nanostructures on Si(111) surfaces

Goswami D.K., Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, IN

In this work, we have shown that how buried interface structure of Si(111) surface influence the growth of Ag nanostructure growth. Electronic growth modes for Ag on Si(111)-7x7 surface can only be observed if the [...]
