Why are alloy metal nanoparticles better than monometallic ones for carbon nanotubes growth?
Dec 20, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Researchers of the Center for Multidimensional Carbon Materials, within the Institute of Basic Science (IBS, South Korea), have presented a theoretical solution to a long-lasting mystery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) growth. Published in Physical Review Letter ("Contact-induced phase separation of alloy catalyst to promote carbon...
Playing the angles with dramatic effect
Dec 19, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Phase transitions have long been of crucial importance to scientific research. The change from water to ice or steam is a simple example. A phase transition important to pioneering research today is that from metal to insulator in materials referred to as "'correlated oxides'. Scientists...
