Low Turn-On Voltage and High Focus Capability Nanogaps for Field Emission Displays

Kuo Y-T, Lo H-Y, Li Y., National Chiao Tung University, TW

Nanometer scale gaps (nanogaps) has been wildly used as electrode in molecular electronics [1,2], biosensor [3], and vacuum microelectronics [4]. However, the difficult from the fabrication limits the development of such technique until the surface [...]

Molecular approach for the synthesis of supported nanoparticles on active carbon using noble metal clusters

Willocq C., Vidick D., Hermans S., Delcorte A., Bertrand P., Dubois V., Devillers M., Université catholique de Louvain, BE

A molecular approach was envisaged for the preparation of nanoparticles supported on carbon. The support was first treated in order to build suitable anchors for organometallic compounds on the surface. Palladium clusters of various nuclearities [...]

Palladium/Polymer nanocomposite based Chemiresistive SO2 Sensor

Meka D., Onbattuvelli V., Atre S., Prasad S., Portland State University, US

Here we present a highly sensitive nanocomposite based Chemiresistive SO2 sensor. The main objective of this research is focused on developing a cost effective, integrable and disposable gas sensor which detects SO2 gas molecules in [...]

Nanostructured Metals Synthesized in Swollen Liquid Crystals

Surendran G., Ramos L., Prouzet E., Remita H., CNRS, FR

We have developed a flexible approach for the preparation of nanostructured materials using swollen liquid cristals (SLCs) that exhibit hexagonal, cubic or lamellar symmetry as soft templates.Hexagonal SLCs consist in a regular packing of infinite [...]

Effect of Palladium Size on its Chemical Activity

Huang C-D., Huang S.Y., Huang C-D., Huang S.Y., Chang B-T., Yeh C.T., National Tsing Hua University, TW

Palladium crystallites with size down to d < 1 nm or were successfully dispersed on silica support and characterized with TEM. A process of hydrogen absorption into the dispersed crystallites were studied by a simultaneous [...]
