Synthesis and Characterisation of Nano-Sized Triphenylphosphine Capped bis(4-methylpiperazine-1-carbodithioato) zinc(ll)

Kalia S.B., Sharma M., Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla, IN

Present study involves the synthesis of and studies on a nanosized coordinate complex of 4-methylpiperazine-1-carbodithioate (4-MPipzcdt) ligand with zinc(II), i.e. Zn(4-MPipzcdt)2, using triphenylphosphine (PPh3) as capping agent. TEM study revealed nanosized particles with size range [...]

Synthesis of Coaxial CoFe2O4 – (K0.5Na0.5 )NbO3 Nanotubes by Sol-gel Technique Using Inexpensive Templates

Chitra Lekha C.S., Rasi M., Aravind P.B., Anantharaman M.R., Nair S.S., Central University of kerala, IN

Magnetoelectric (ME) coupling, one of the most intriguing aspects of multiferroics, may arise directly between two or more ferroic orders as in single phase multiferroics or indirectly via strain. Strain intermediate ME coupling requires intimate [...]

Synthesis and Characterization of Copper-Copper oxide nanofluids in the confinement regime

Babukutty B., Parakkal F., Bhalero G.M., Nair S.S., Central University of kerala, IN

Abstract: Copper oxide shelled copper nanofluids are synthesized with surfactant trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) using sulphates precursors. The fluids were structurally characterised by X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Surface and morphological characterization are carried out by Scanning Electron [...]

Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene-porphyrinoids as models for functional graphenes in the development of newer materials

Chauhan S.M.S., University of Delhi, IN

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are important building blocks for the construction of organic semiconducting materials. Functional hexa–peri-hexabenzocoronenes are important polycyclic hydrocarbons with D6h symmetrical structure containing 13 fused benzene rings and there are more than five [...]

Fabrication of Electroless Plated Nano Porous Gold Film for Trace Heavy Metal Ion Detection In Sensor Applications

Bhagavathula S., Ramanan S.R., Kim S.K., Krishnan J.N., BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus, IN

Nano porous gold film was fabricated by electroless plating with Potassium Gold Cyanide as plating solution. E-beam deposited Cu substrates were chosen for plating. The electroless plated gold was investigated through XRD and SEM. SEM [...]
