Nanotube Grafting in Porous Solids for High Surface Devices

Mukhopadhyay S.M., Karumuri A., Barney I.T., Wright State University, US

Biological systems make use of hair and capillary type hierarchical structures to create more surface area in limited space, but very few synthetic materials use this concept. Geometrical calculations show that if hierarchical substrates are [...]

Optical Absorption Modeling of Arbitrary Shaped Nanoparticles

Mullin P., Kozlowski G., Kozlowski P.G., Kozlowski G., Kozlowski P.G., Busbee J.D., Jones J.G., Wright State University, US

A method for modeling the optical absorption spectra of nanosize metal particles is demonstrated. Computer software has been developed to generate the absorption spectra from the particles geometry and material properties. The software breaks the [...]
