Ultra-thin films
Systems confined in one dimension, or quasi-2D systems, include discs or platelets, ultrathin films on a surface and multi-layered materials; the films themselves could be amorphous, single-crystalline or Nano crystalline.…
Nano wires
Systems confined in two dimensions, or quasi-1D systems, include nanowires, nano rods, nanofilaments and nanotubes: again these could either be amorphous, single-crystalline or polycrystalline (with nanometre-sized grains). The term ‘nano-ropes’…
Classifications of nanostructured materials
A reduction in the spatial dimension or confinement of particles or quasi particles in a particular crystallographic direction within a structure generally leads to changes in physical properties of the…
Implication for Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Engineering
Living systems are governed by molecular behaviour at the nanometre scale, where chemistry, physics, biology, and computer simulation all now converge. Implications for Physics: 1. Nanoscale materials mass is extremely…
Introduction
· The study of objects and phenomena at a very small scale, roughly 1-100 nanometres (nm)is called as Nanoscale science or Nanoscience. Ø To understand how small one nm is let us…
The Development of Smart, Multi-Responsive Core@Shell Composite Nanoparticles

Effect of Argon Carrier Gas Flux on TiO2 Nanostructures
SEMICONDUCTING NANOWIRES Based on the geometry, 1D nanostructures typically consist of four categories: nanowire (NW), nanorod (NR), nanobelt (NB), and nanotube. The first three categories all possess a solid structure,…
Synthesis, Luminescence and Magnetic Properties of Novel Fe0.5Gd0.5(MoO4)1.5:Eu3+ Micro/Nano (3D) Structures
Size- and shape-controlled synthesis of self-organized, three-dimensional (3D) micro/nano architectures are still challenging and much attracted in the recent years owing to vast scientific and technological interest in multifaceted research…
Fundamentals of Medicinal Application of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles
Titanium dioxide (TiO2), a semiconducting material, is a well-known photocatalyst . Examples of previous studies about TiO2 photocatalytic reactions are listed in Table 1. A nanoparticle (NP) of TiO2also demonstrates photocatalytic activity.…
