Core-shell structure of polypyrrole grown on W18O49 nanorods for high performance gas sensor operating at room temperature

In this work, uniform core-shell structure of polypyrrole wrapped on tungsten oxide nanorods (PPy@W₁₈O₄₉ core-shell nanorods) were synthesized via a two-step process for gas-sensing applications. The core-nanorods of W₁₈O₄₉ were first grown by solvothermal method with tungsten hexachloride (WCl₆) as precursor. The PPy-shell layer was then formed uniformly on the solvothermally synthesized W₁₈O₄₉ nanorods by in-situ chemical polymerization of pyrrole monomer (Py), with sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) as dopant and ammonium persulfate (APS) as oxidant. High dispersion of Py achieving in ethanol is proved to be crucial to form the uniform PPy-shell layer, and the layer thickness of PPy-shell is highly controlled by adjusting the Py concentration in polymeric solution. The morphology and structure of the nanocomposite were characterized systematically; it shows that the composite exhibits perfect core-shell structure of one-dimensional (1D) nanorods with average diameter of around 70–90 nm. The NH₃-sensing properties of the sensors based on the PPy@W₁₈O₄₉ core-shell nanorods were investigated at operating temperature of 15–130 °C over NH₃ concentration ranging from 1 to 200 ppm. The response magnitude of the PPy@W₁₈O₄₉ sensor can be affected seriously by temperature fluctuation, even in room temperature range (15–30 °C), and meanwhile, a temperature-dependent p-n response characteristic reversal is observed for the heteronanorods sensor. At much low room temperature of 15 °C, the present PPy@W₁₈O₄₉ nanorods show quick and sensitive response to NH₃ gas mainly due to the ultrathin, uniform PPy shell and the special heterojunction effect between p-type PPy and n-type W₁₈O₄₉. The underlying gas-sensing mechanism is analyzed.

Spectral encoding on Gold Nanorods Doped in a Silica Sol–Gel Matrix and Its Application to High‐Density Optical Data Storage

Metallic nanorods exhibit fascinating optical properties due to surface plasmons—collective oscillation of the electron cloud within a particle. They exhibit two principle absorption bands that correspond to surface plasmon resonance (SPR) along the longitudinal and transverse directions of the nanorod. Most importantly, the longitudinal band can be tuned with the aspect ratio of the rod, making it a spectrally tuneable optical material, which can be applied to a variety of devices from bioimaging to high‐density optical storage. Here, spectral encoding for high‐density optical storage applications is demonstrated on two sizes of gold nanorods (aspect ratios of three and five) doped in a silica sol–gel matrix by femtosecond pulsed laser irradiation. It is widely known that high‐power pulsed laser irradiation causes metal nanorods to undergo shape transformations via the process of melting or fragmentation. The process is enhanced if the laser wavelength is tuned at the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance peak of the nanorods, which results in a significant reduction or shift in the surface plasmon resonance peak. As such a shape change occurs only on the subpopulation of rods that have a longitudinal plasmon band matching the laser wavelength, a size‐ or spectrum‐selective shape transition is possible in a rod mixture with varying aspect ratios. The current spectral encoding technology can be incorporated into existing optical disc technology, such as three‐dimensional bit‐by‐bit and holographic, and can increase the capacity limit by utilizing the spectral domain.     

Optical properties of Zn1−xMgxO nanorods using catalysis-driven molecular beam epitaxy

We report on the optical properties of (Zn,Mg)O nanorods grown by catalyst-driven molecular beam epitaxy. The process is site-specific, as single crystal (Zn,Mg)O nanorod growth is realized via nucleation on Ag films or islands that are deposited on a SiO₂-terminated Si substrate surface. Growth occurs within a flux of Zn, Mg, and O₂/O₃ mixture at substrate temperatures of 400–500 °C. With the addition of Mg, the nanorod morphology becomes more uniform relative to the pure ZnO nanomaterials synthesized under similar conditions. The (Zn,Mg)O nanorods are cylindrical, exhibiting diameters of 15–40 nm and lengths in excess of 1 μm. The (Zn,Mg)O nanorods exhibit a strong photoluminescence response, showing a slight shift to shorter wavelengths due to Mg incorporation.     

Effect of Gold Nanorods on the Remote Decapsulation of Liposomal Capsules Using Ultrashort Electric Pulses

Decapsulation of nanocomposite liposomal capsules due to the effect of ultrashort electric pulses is obtained when the liposomal sheaths of the capsules are bound to significantly anisotropic gold nanoparticles (nanorods). Destruction of the liposomal sheath is interpreted using the rotational displacement of gold nanorods in the presence of the pulsed electric field. Such an interpretation is used to derive an expression for the critical electric field that determines the threshold level of the effect. The calculated critical field is in agreement with the experimental results. It is shown that the decapsulation is related to the presence of the gold nanorods in the sheath of liposomal capsules and is not obtained in the absence of the nanorods.     

All-refractory Josephson logic circuits

A process for the fabrication of Josephson integrated circuits is described which uses only refractory materials. The Josephson devices are Nb-Si-Nb tunnel junctions which are formed in the initial phase of the process. After depositing a Nb-Si-Nb `trilayer' over the entire substrate, the individual devices are isolated by the selective niobium anodization process (SNAP). Other materials used are molybdenum for the normal resistors and bias-sputtered SiO/SUB 2/ for additional insulator layers. The process uses only five photolithographic steps to produce circuits of the direct-coupled isolation type. This simplicity is achieved by using some layers for multiple purposes and by fabricating components with different functional purposes in a single step. For example, the lower electrode of the Josephson devices also functions as the ground plane and the contacts to the ground plane are actually large-area Josephson junctions formed simultaneously with the active devices. Low capacitance junctions (~0.025 pF//spl mu/m/SUP 2/) are produced with good uniformity.

Structural complexity effects on transverse propagation in atwo-dimensional model of myocardium

A thin sheet of cardiac tissue was modeled as a set of resistively coupled excitable cables with membrane dynamics described by the modified Beeler Reuter model. Transverse connections have a resistance Rn and are regularly distributed with a spacing delta on any given cable, to provide alternating input and output junctions. Flat wave longitudinal propagation corresponds to propagation along a single continuous cable since all units of the network are functionally isolated due to the absence of transverse current flow. Events on a given cable during flat transverse propagation include electrotonic spread of potential from input to output junctions, action potential initiation at input junctions, and collision at output junctions. The propagating two-dimensional transverse wavefront is an undulating transmembrane potential surface with highs at the input junctions and lows at the output junctions. The action potential upstroke is also modulated in a periodic manner with minimum and maximum Vmax at the input and output junctions respectively. Thus, the network is capable of a diversity of dynamic behavior spatially distributed in relation to the specific pattern of transverse connections chosen. Overall, the behavior of the network model is in good agreement with available structural and electrophysiological data on myocardium. In addition, this network topology allows to handle more easily parameters governing propagation and to avoid very large matrices which are costly in computational effort and overall computer time.
