The confinement of silver selenide was investigated using mesoporous silica. Results from x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy show that the confined material still exhibits a \beta to \alpha transition similar to the one that takes…
Due to their antimicrobial properties, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are being used in non-edible and edible consumer products. It is not clear though if exposure to these chemicals can exert toxic effects on the host and gut microbiome.…
Due to the increasing use of nanometric cerium oxide in applications, concerns about the toxicity of these particles have been raised and have resulted in a large number of investigations. We report here on the interactions between 7 nm…
The evolution of the nanoporous structure of cylindrical sintered silver samples during high temperature aging, ranging from 200 {\textdegree}C to 350 {\textdegree}C for 350 min, is studied through in-situ Computed X-Ray Tomography.…
Lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals have recently emerged as desirable optical materials for applications such as coherent quantum light emitters and solid-state laser cooling due to their short radiative lifetime and near-unity…
Europium-doped lutetium-oxide (Eu:Lu2O3) nanoparticles were synthesized using a combustion technique and a co-precipitation technique, and their properties were compared. Surface-modification utilizing small silane molecules and long chain…
Silver, especially in the form of nanostructures, is widely employed as an antimicrobial agent in a large range of commercial products. The origin of the biocidal mechanism has been elucidated in the last decades, and most likely originates…
