Bacterial transmission is considered one of the potential risks for communicable
diseases, requiring promising antibiotics. Traditional drugs possess a limited
spectrum of effectiveness, and their frequent administration reduces
effectiveness and develops resistivity. In such a situation, we are left with
the option of developing novel antibiotics with higher efficiency. In this
regard, nanopartic... hiện toàn bộ
A review on microfluidic-assisted nanoparticle synthesis, and their applications using multiscale simulation methods Tập 18 Số 1
Abdulrahman Agha, Waqas Waheed, Ion Stiharu, Vahé Nerguizian, Ghulam Destgeer, Eiyad Abu‐Nada, Anas Alazzam
AbstractRecent years have witnessed an increased interest in the development of
nanoparticles (NPs) owing to their potential use in a wide variety of biomedical
applications, including drug delivery, imaging agents, gene therapy, and
vaccines, where recently, lipid nanoparticle mRNA-based vaccines were developed
to prevent SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19. NPs typically fall into two broad
categories: ... hiện toàn bộ
A narrative review of the synthesis, characterization, and applications of iron oxide nanoparticles
Joseph Ekhebume Ogbezode, Uchechukwu S. Ezealigo, Abdulhakeem Bello, Vitalis C. Anye, Azikiwe Peter Onwualu
AbstractThe significance of green synthesized nanomaterials with a uniform
shape, reduced sizes, superior mechanical capabilities, phase microstructure,
magnetic behavior, and superior performance cannot be overemphasized. Iron oxide
nanoparticles (IONPs) are found within the size range of 1–100 nm in
nanomaterials and have a diverse range of applications in fields such as
biomedicine, wastewater ... hiện toàn bộ
A novel concept of photosynthetic soft membranes: a numerical study
Gabriele Falciani, Luca Bergamasco, Shannon A. Bonke, Indraneel Sen, Eliodoro Chiavazzo
AbstractWe focus on a novel concept of photosynthetic soft membranes, possibly
able to allow the conversion of solar energy and carbon dioxide (CO$$_2$$ 2 )
into green fuels. The considered membranes rely on self-assembled functional
molecules in the form of soap films. We elaborate a multi-scale and
multi-physics model to describe the relevant phenomena, investigating the
expected performance of ... hiện toàn bộ
Demonstration of MOCVD-grown Ga2O3 power MOSFETs on sapphire with in-situ Si-doped by tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) Tập 18 Số 1
Sao Thien Ngo, Chungsying Lu, Fu‐Gow Tarntair, Sheng-Ti Chung, Tian-Li Wu, Ray–Hua Horng
AbstractIn this work, we demonstrated Ga2O3-based power MOSFETs grown on c-plane
sapphire substrates using in-situ TEOS doping for the first time. The β-Ga2O3:Si
epitaxial layers were formed by the metalorganic chemical vapor deposition
(MOCVD) with a TEOS as a dopant source. The depletion-mode Ga2O3 power MOSFETs
are fabricated and characterized, showing the increase of the current,

Facile biosynthesis of Ag–ZnO nanocomposites using Launaea cornuta leaf extract and their antimicrobial activity Tập 18 Số 1
Elizabeth Makauki, Stanslaus G. Mtavangu, Onita D. Basu, Mwemezi J. Rwiza, Revocatus L. Machunda
AbstractThe quest to synthesize safe, non-hazardous Ag–ZnO nanoomposites (NCs)
with improved physical and chemical properties has necessitated green synthesis
approaches. In this research, Launaea cornuta leaf extract was proposed for the
green synthesis of Ag–ZnO NCs, wherein the leaf extract was used as a reducing
and capping agent. The antibacterial activity of the prepared nanoomposites was

Sub-bandgap near-infrared photovoltaic response in Au/Al2O3/n-Si metal–insulator–semiconductor structure by plasmon-enhanced internal photoemission
Xiyuan Dai, Wu Li, Yu Liang, Zhiyuan Yu, Fengyang Ma, Yuchen Zhang, Yan‐Ru Yang, Jian Sun, Ming Lu
AbstractSilicon sub-bandgap near-infrared (NIR) (λ > 1100 nm) photovoltaic (PV)
response by plasmon-enhanced internal photoemission was investigated. The Si
sub-bandgap NIR PV response, which remains unexploited in Schottky junction-like
solar cell device, was examined using nanometer sized Au/Al2O3/n-Si junction
arrays. This kind of metal–insulator–semiconductor structure was similar in
functiona... hiện toàn bộ
The electronic properties of boron-doped germanium nanocrystals films
Dan Shan, Menglong Wang, Daoyuan Sun, Yunqing Cao
AbstractVarious doping concentrations of boron (B)-doped germanium nanocrystal
(Ge NC) films were prepared using the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition
(PECVD) technique followed by thermal annealing treatment. The electronic
properties of B-doped Ge NCs films combined with the microstructural
characterization were investigated. It is worthwhile mentioning that the Hall
mobilities $${\mu }_... hiện toàn bộ
Improved electrical properties of micro light-emitting diode displays by ion implantation technology
Yu-Hsuan Hsu, Chi-Han Wang, Xin-Dai Lin, Yi-Hsin Lin, Dong−Sing Wuu, Ray−Hua Horng
AbstractGenerally, the inductively coupled plasma-reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE)
mesa technology was used to remove p-GaN/MQWs and expose n-GaN for electrical
contact in a fabricated micro light-emitting diode (μLED). In this process, the
exposed sidewalls were significantly damaged which result in small-sized μLED
presenting a strong size-dependent influence. Lower emission intensity was
observed... hiện toàn bộ
