Highly porous, nanostructured metallic thin films are interesting for numerous applications such as electrodes in fuel cells and Li-ion batteries as well as for surface enhanced Raman sensors and implants. Combining electron beam evaporation and oblique angle deposition (OAD) represents an elegant and powerful technique to sculpture manifold surface morphologies on the nanometer scale....

Hybrid nanoparticles are gaining increased recognition for their importance in many areas including catalysis, medicine, and light-harvesting. The ability to tune the properties of these hybrids is thus of great interest; furthermore, such structures can be subject to additional processing to form unique structures. This work presents the coating of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) on an inorganic...

Ultra-thin layered materials as graphene (Gr) and, belonging to the topological insulators, Bi2Se3 represent unique physical and chemical properties due to the reduced dimensionality (2D materials). The both materials: Gr [1] and Bi2Se3 [2] exhibit specific properties as regards surface conductivity what makes them interesting for construction of the highly sensitive magneto-resistive sensors....

It is recognized that detailed physico-chemical characterization of nanomaterials is becoming increasingly important both from the technological and from health and safety point of view. Moreover, an incomplete characterisation may inhibit or delay the scientific and technological impact of nanoscience and nanotechnology. However, nanomaterials characterization based on individual instrumental...

Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is a very powerful technique for structural characterization. In order to study this phenomenon nanostructured substrates are needed, and in particular those made with Cu, Ag or Au metals deposited on glass. In this work their synthesis by laser ablation and the characterization by UV-visible spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and...

The diverse microstructures that are observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in bitumen suggests complicated intermolecular associations. These microstructures largely contribute to bitumens’ bulk mechanical properties; therefore, it is essential to understand the chemical−microstructural−mechanical relationships for optimal design of bitumen-related applications. However, the complex nature...
