Development and Testing of Thermosensitive Poly(NIPAm-AA)/Nano-SiO2 Composite Blocking Agent for Shale Gas Drilling Operations

Wang W., Qiu Z., Chen G., Zhong H., Huang W., Cao J., China University of Petroleum, CN

Nanotechnology has already contributed significantly to technological advances in energy industry and has the potential to revolutionize the drilling industry. Traditional blocking agents are difficult to form effective mud cake to prevent liquid penetration due [...]

Spirofluoreneacridinone-Based Shape-Controlled Nanorods for Aqueous Phase Processing Light-Emitting Devices

Lin Z-Q, Liang J., Xie L-H, Huang W., Nanjing University of Posts & Telecommunications, CN

The unique cruciform-shaped spirocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons might provide a facile strategy to design the multi-dimensional nanostructure of organic semiconductors “bottom up”, which could be exploited as the building block for micro/nano optoelectronic devices. Over the [...]

Fabrication of QD structures showing diode characteristics for electroluminescence (EL) and other applications

AlAmoody F., Rodriguez A., Papadimitrakopoulos F., Huang W., Ayers J., Jain F., University of Connecticut, US

The abstract talks about the estimation of the size of the cladded dots which are then used in fabrication of a diode like structure. It also talks about the nucleation of the dots with varying [...]

Improved Methodology to Nucleate ZnxCd1-xSe cladded ZnyCd1-ySe Quantum Dots using PMP-MOCVD for Lasers and Electroluminescent Phosphors

Al-Amoody F., Rodriguez A., Suarez E., Huang W., Jain F., University of Connecticut, US

improvement in uniformity of dots nucleated by a methodology which preheats the reaction zone prior to the initiation of Microwave Plasma in a metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)

Fabrication of Luminescent Superparamagnetic CdSe-QDs/SiO2/Fe3O4 nanocomposite particles

Liu B., Wang D., Huang W., Xie W., Yu M., Yao A., Tongji University, CN

A new kind of water-soluble luminescent superparamagnetic nanocomposite particles has been synthesized using a modified Stöber method combined with an electrostatic assembly process. Fe3O4 nanoparticles with the size of 10 nm were uniformly coated with [...]

Fabrication of Bowtie Nano-Gap Structures by Electron Beam Lithography

Murali R., Walters E., Zaman F., Tabor C., Huang W., El-Sayed M., Meindl J.D., Georgia Tech, US

Metallic nano-particle pairs in close proximity to one another display surface-enhanced raman scattering (SERS). Single-molecule detection has been predicted to be possible thanks to SERS. The SERS enhancement is due an induced localized electric field [...]

ZnCdSe-ZnSe Cladded Quantum Dots using Photoassisted Microwave Plasma (PMP) Enhanced Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition for Lasers and Electroluminescent Phosphors

Rodriguez A., Li R., Yarlagadda P., Papadimitrakopoulos F., Huang W., Ayers J., Jain F., University of Connecticut, US

We have grown for the first time 3-8 nm CdSe and pseudomorophic ZnxCd1-xSe/ZnyCd1-ySe cladded quantum dots (QDs) (x > y) in a novel Photo assisted Microwave Plasma Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Phase Deposition (PMP-MOCVD) reactor. Influence [...]
