Nanoparticle morphology and aspect ratio effects in Ag/PVDF nanocomposites

Tuning the dielectric response in a nanocomposite material through nanoparticle morphology

“…In large-bandgap materials (over 4-5 eV), metallic inclusions introduce additional states in the bandgap. 66,67 These states are generally located in the vicinity of the Fermi level, and occupied by the many mNP electrons. In Ag/MgO NCs, the bandgap of the pure MgO [Fig.…”
