Surface Atom Motion to Move Iron Nanocrystals through Constrictions in Carbon Nanotubes under the Action of an Electric Current

, 2013
Under the application of electrical currents, metal nanocrystals inside carbon nanotubes can be bodily transported. We examine experimentally and theoretically how an iron nanocrystal can pass through a constriction in the carbon nanotube with a smaller ...

Defect-related versus excitonic visible light emission from ion beam synthesized Si nanocrystals in SiO2 [PDF]

, 1996
Two sources of room temperature visible luminescence are identified from SiO2 films containing ion beam synthesized Si nanocrystals. From a comparison of luminescence spectra and photoluminescence decay lifetime measurements between Xe + -implanted SiO2 ...

Theoretical study of solid iron nanocrystal movement inside a carbon nanotube

, 2013
We use a first-principles based kinetic Monte Carlo simulation to study the movement of a solid iron nanocrystal inside a carbon nanotube driven by the electrical current. The origin of the iron nanocrystal movement is the electromigration force.

Colloidal Semiconductor Nanocrystals

, 2022
In this chapter, we review colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) and their remarkable size-dependent properties. We emphasize on colloidal nanoplatelets and explain how they differ from NCs of other classes.

Correlation between CdSe QD Synthesis, Post-Synthetic Treatment, and BHJ Hybrid Solar Cell Performance

Nanomaterials, 2016
In this publication we show that the procedure to synthesize nanocrystals and the post-synthetic nanocrystal ligand sphere treatment have a great influence not only on the immediate performance of hybrid bulk heterojunction solar cells, but also on their
