We describe an environmentally friendly, top-down approach to the synthesis of Au89Fe11 nanoparticles (NPs). The plasmonic response gold moiety and magnetism iron coexist in nanoalloy with strong modification compared single element NPs, revealing a non-linear surface plasmon resonance dependence on fraction transition from paramagnetic spin-glass state at low temperature. These nanoalloys are accessible conjugation thiolated molecules they promising contrast agents for magnetic imaging.
Crystalline structure, size and surface coating are the relevant parameters influencing catalytic magnetic properties of iron oxide nanoparticles (FeOxNPs). The development a "green" method for synthesis FeOxNPs with good crystallinity, controlled uncontaminated all at same time is challenging. Here we show that laser ablation in water can be combined irradiation 355 nm to obtain average tunable 10–30 range percentage ferrimagnetic phase up 94% crystalline phases, while maintaining particles...
Magneto-plasmonic nanostructures functionalized with cell targeting units are of great interest for nanobiotechnology applications.
This paper summarizes the main achievements of RFX fusion science program in period between 2008 and 2010 IAEA Fusion Energy Conferences. RFX-mod is largest reversed field pinch world, equipped with a system 192 coils for active control MHD stability. The discovery understanding helical states electron internal transport barriers core temperature >1.5 keV significantly advances perspectives configuration. Optimized experiments plasma current up to 1.8 MA have been realized, confirming...
Labels based on noble metal nanoparticles and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) opened new opportunities for the ultrasensitive detection of analytes. To date, however, SERS labels were mostly used qualitative analysis, while leaving largely unexploited their potential quantitative assays. Here we synthesized gold (AuNPs) obtained by laser ablation synthesis in solution developed a general method correlation label concentration with intensity signal. We successfully this...
Thermoelectric materials can convert heat into electricity when a temperature gradient is present. The investigation of conductive polymers such as polyaniline (PANI) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) active for thermoelectric generators in the room range gaining interest because several key advantages offered by these materials. relative ease solution processing, their mechanical stability flexibility together with low density thermal conductivity make suitable integration generator....
Some metals belonging to groups IV and V show a high permeability hydrogen have been studied as possible alternatives palladium in membranes for purification/separation order increase their sustainability decrease costs. However, date, very few alloys among those investigated, no membrane studies based on 4-5 element with low or zero Pd content quasi-amorphous structure reported so far. In this work, new ZrVTi- ZrVTiPd were tested the first time application. The unprecedented deposition of...
This paper reports the highlights of RFX-mod fusion science programme since last 2010 IAEA Fusion Energy Conference. The focused on two main goals: exploring potential reversed field pinch (RFP) magnetic configuration and contributing to solution key technology problems in roadmap ITER. Active control several plasma parameters has been a tool this endeavour. New upgrades system for active magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability are underway will be presented paper. Unique among existing devices,...
Plasma–wall interaction is one of the most important issues that present magnetic confinement devices have to face. In RFX-mod reversed field pinch experiment plasma–wall has become a hard point increasing plasma current up maximum design value 2 MA, since in this case local power deposition can be as high 10 MW m −2 . Since first wall entirely covered by graphite tiles different techniques been tested control hydrogen influx: He glow discharges cleaning, at currents, boronization and...
