Preparation and characterization of new nanocomposites synthesized of Au and Au–Ag bimetallic nanoparticles encapsoulated in functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes

Sarlak N., Sameri Z., Meyer T.J., Pourrahim R., Shaabani K., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, US

Highly dispersed Au and Au-Ag nanoparticles supported on carbon nanotubes are generated using an easy synthesis. MWCNT was opened and its derivative containing -COOH and -OH functional groups was obtained. Polycondensation of monohydrate citric acid [...]

From MEMS to NEMS: Modelling and characterization of the non linear dynamics of resonators, a way to enhance the dynamic range

Kacem N., Hentz S., Fontaine H., Nguyen V., Delaye M.T., Blanc H., Robert P., Legrand B., Buchaillot L., Driot N., Dufour R., CEA, FR

In order to compensate the loss of performances when scaling sensors down to NEMS, a process, characterization methods and above all an original analytical model including main sources of nonlinearities are presented. The permanent quest [...]
