It is well known that the electrostatic repulsions between charges on neighboring sites decrease the effective charge at the surface of a charged nanoparticle (NP). However, the situation is more complex close to a dielec. discontinuity, since charged site ...
We present a facile technique for the prepn. of plastic films contg. aligned magnetic nanowires with anisotropic behavior. Solns. of magnetic nanoparticles mixed with polymers are drop casted on a substrate under the application of a weak magnetic field, a ...
Topographic nanostructuring of surfaces is a promising concept, in particular to improve the bio-integration of titanium orthopedic implants. In this context, a new method for the nanostructuring of anodised titanium surfaces was developed. Ordered topogra ...
This thesis reports results on magnetic properties of supported cobalt nanostructures. The nanostructures were grown on single crystal metal surface by Molecular Beam Epitaxy in an Ultra High Vacuum chamber. Our experimental setup is based on two in situ m ...
The transition from localized to delocalized plasmons (i.e. the transition from a situation where the decay length of a travelling surface plasma wave is greater than its propagation distance to a situation where it is smaller) and hence the onset of plasm ...
A bottom-up approach to produce a long-range ordered superlattice of monodisperse and isomorphic metal-oxide nanoparticles (NP) supported onto an oxide substrate is demonstrated. The synthetic strategy consists of self-assembling metallic NP on an ultrathi ...
Our work is devoted to the development of YAG:Ce3+ nanoparticle based films for white LEDs. Very stable suspensions of YAG:Ce nanoparticles are synthesized by a glycothermal method at relatively low temperature (300 degrees C). Protected annealing in a sil ...
In the last past years, many promising applications of nanoparticles in quantum electronics such as nanocrystal memories, chemical sensors or nanodevices based on single electron tunneling and Coulomb blockade effects have attracted much attention. Nanopar ...
We propose an original approach called “stencil-masked ion implantation process” to perform a spatially localized synthesis of a limited number of Si nanoparticles (nps) within a thin SiO2 layer. This process consists in implanting silicon ions at ultra-lo ...
Increasing interest in specific applications in the field of micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS) has raised the request for new functional polymeric materials. Epoxy based photoresists are being broadly used for the fabrication of mic ...
