Germanium–tin nanoparticles are promising materials for near- and mid-infrared photonics thanks to their tunable optical properties and compatibility with silicon technology. This work proposes modifying the spark discharge method to produce Ge...

A two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystalline transition metal dichalcogenides has shown immense features, aiming for future nanoelectronic devices comparable to conventional silicon (Si). 2D molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) has a small bandgap, appears cl...

Amorphous-Ge (α-Ge) or free-standing nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized via hydrogen-free plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) were applied as transmissive or reflective saturable absorbers, respectively, for starting up passively mod...

The use of nanoparticles (NPs) as reinforcements in polymeric coatings allows for direct interaction with the polymeric chains of the matrix, resulting in a synergistic process through physical (electrostatic forces) and chemical interactions (bond f...

This study investigates the structural phase and dielectric properties of poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (P[VDF–TrFE]) thin films grown via atmospheric pressure (AP) plasma deposition using a mixed polymer solution comprising P[V...

The optical emission of cone-shell quantum structures (CSQS) under vertical electric (F) and magnetic (B) fields is studied by means of simulations. A CSQS has a unique shape, where an electric field induces the transformation of the hole probability...

Quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) have been identified as a next-generation display technology owing to their low-cost manufacturing, wide color gamut, and electrically driven self-emission properties. However, the efficiency and stability of...

Chemical vapor deposition synthesis of graphene on polycrystalline copper substrates from methane is a promising technique for industrial production and application. However, the quality of grown graphene can be improved by using single-crystal coppe...

The conversion of glycerol to high-value-added products via photoelectrochemical (PEC) oxidation has emerged as a promising approach for utilizing a sustainable and clean energy source with environmental and economic benefits. Moreover, the energy re...

This investigation is motivated by interest in nanostructured FeOOH anodes for aqueous asymmetric supercapacitors operating in Na2SO4 electrolyte. The research goal is the fabrication of anodes with high active mass loading of 40 mg cm−2, high...
