The synthesis of crystals with a high surface-to-volume ratio is essential for innovative, high-
performance electronic devices and sensors. The easiest way to achieve this in integrated …

In the present work, we studied the effect of Lead-concentration (0–1 wt%) on the physical
properties of zinc oxide thin films and its photo-detection properties. All films were deposited …

Piezoelectricity has already found a multitude of applications, including voltage generation,
quartz oscillators, mechanical sensors and actuators, piezoelectric transformers and more …

Silver nanoparticles capped with 3-mercapto-1propanesulfonic acid sodium salt (AgNPs-
3MPS), able to interact with Ni2+ or Co2+, have been prepared to detect these heavy metal …

A novel type of graphene-like quantum dots, synthesized by oxidation and cage-opening of
C60 buckminsterfullerene, has been studied as a fluorescent and absorptive probe for …

We have synthesized self-assembled photonic crystals (PCs) based on polystyrene
nanospheres having average diameters of 250 nm. Samples were obtained by drop-casting …

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets have been fabricated by a one-step, room-
temperature, hydrothermal process on sputtered-aluminum thin substrates, in which the …

A novel type of graphene-like nanoparticle, synthesized by oxidation and unfolding of C60
buckminsterfullerene fullerene, showed multiple and reproducible sensitivity to Cu2+, Pb2+ …

The main purpose of the present work is to analyze a series of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) with
different size or ligand functionalization by using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) …

Hydrothermal growth of ZnO nanorods has been widely used for the development of tactile
sensors, with the aid of ZnO seed layers, favoring the growth of dense and vertically aligned …
