The Synthesis And Luminescence Properties Of Lanthanide-based Nanoparticles For Biological Application
(Physics, 2008-09-17)
Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles have great potential as a new kind of luminescent material. In this thesis, we report the synthesis of Cerium-doped LaF3 nanoparticles in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) using chemical reaction at ...
Plasmonic Nanostructures: Fabrication And Optical Characterization
(Physics, 2008-09-17)
Resonant light localization by metal nanostructures has potential for applications in cavity quantum electrodynamics (e.g. single-photon sources, quantum gates etc) and nonlinear optics.
In this thesis we present the ...
Silicon Carbide Nanotubes: Promises Beyond Carbon Nanotubes
(Physics, 2008-09-17)
First-principles calculations for the electronic and geometric structures of three different types of armchair and zigzag silicon carbide nanotubes from (3, 3) to (11, 11) and (3, 0) to (11, 0) have been performed using ...
Germanium Based Nanotubes: Fact Or Fiction?
(Physics, 2008-09-17)
Unlike carbon nanotubes, nanostructures of Ge, a group IV semiconductor, have not been fully explored. In particular, there is limited data available on Germanium-based nanotubes. The aim of this thesis is to explore the ...
