Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), based on the enhancement of the Raman
signal of molecules positioned within a few nanometres from a structured metal surface, is …

Graphitic carbon (GC) and nitrogen-doped graphitic carbon (NdGC) shells have been
synthesized on Ni nanoparticles (NPs) from solvents used in pulsed-laser ablation in liquid …

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbon nitride (a-SiCN: H) thin films were deposited by hot
wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) using SiH4, CH4, NH3 and H2 as precursors. The …

We have analyzed the growth process of aC: H nanoparticles in Ar–C 2 H 2 and Ar–CH 4
plasmas by means of in situ Rayleigh-Mie scattering ellipsometry. Complex refractive index …

Annealing of sugarcane bagasse cellulose or lignin biocarbons under isopropanol vapor
has induced an improvement in electrical conductivity of these materials. Remarkably, the …

Developing efficient electrocatalysts of elements that are abundant on earth crust is crucial
for green hydrogen generation technologies. In particular, the oxygen evolution reaction …

We synthesized SiCN nanowires by a combination of high-energy ball milling and post-heat
treatment using high-purity silicon and carbon nanopowders (< 100 nm), and evaluated the …

Nanodiamonds (NDs) are emerging with great potential in biomedical applications like
biomarking through fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), targeted drug …

In light of spectroscopic and electrical investigations, ammonia gas sensing mechanism in
polypyrrole (PPy) nanotubes/nanorods has been discussed. For improvement in the gas …

Micro-chips based on organic–inorganic hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) composed of
nanoalloys of gold (Au) and silver (Ag) embedded in an amorphous carbonaceous matrix (C …
