Size saturation in low energy ion beam synthesized Au nanoclusters and their size redistribution with O irradiation

Unraveling the Peculiarities in the Temperature-Dependent Structural Evolution of Black Phosphorus

“…Recently, in this class of materials, it was found that oxygen ordering plays a critical role in determining the macroscopic properties of the system [1][2][3]. In fact, our own research works in diverse materials such as hydrogen storage materials [4], lithium battery materials [5], several nano-material systems [6][7][8], newly discovered Fe-based superconductors [9][10][11][12], novel magnetic materials [13,14] and solar cell materials [15], etc., were indeed aimed at understanding the structure-function relations. Black phosphorus (BP) is an emerging two-dimensional system offering several perspectives for applications.…”

Rapid green synthesis of silver nanoparticles and nanorods using Piper nigrum extract

“…Various physical and chemical methods have been used to synthesize gold and silver nanoparticles [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Wet chemical synthesis is a robust route to large scale synthesis of silver nanoparticles of tunable shape and size, through careful optimization of synthesis conditions.…”

Study of Cu+, Ag+ and Au+ ion implantation into silicate glasses

“…Besides noble metal implantation (Cu, Ag, and Au), sequential ion implantation of two metal species (see [5,12,13]) or co-implantation of noble metal, an oxidising or reducing ion (atom) [14][15][16] has been done to form alloy metal nanoclusters and thus influence the resulting non-linear properties. Several works on metal-ion-implanted colloid generation in bulk glass have shown that optical properties depend also on the annealing atmosphere (e.g.…”
