Band Gap Engineering of CdTe Quantum Dots by Hg Alloying in Infrared Region
We synthesized Hg alloyed CdTe quantum dots (Cd1−xHgxTe) using hydrothermal route. N-acetyl-cysteine is used as the cap** agent for water dispersed Cd1−xHgxTe (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5) quantum dots. The diamet...

Can fluorine-doped tin Oxide, FTO, be more like indium-doped tin oxide, ITO? Reducing FTO surface roughness by introducing additional SnO2 coating
Among the commercially common transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) and indium-doped tin oxide (ITO), neither of which meets all criteria for the optimal TCO. Despite its supe...

Solar energy harvesting in the epicuticle of the oriental hornet (Vespa orientalis)
The Oriental hornet worker correlates its digging activity with solar insolation. Solar radiation passes through the epicuticle, which exhibits a grating-like structure, and continues to pass through layers of...

Properties of the electronic density of states in TiO2 nanoparticles surrounded with aqueous electrolyte
Results on the density of sates of nanostructured TiO2 as a function of particle size and temperature are reported. In TiO2 nanoparticles with a mean diameter 10 nm, the density of states (DOS) is strongly temper...

Nanostructured Materials in Photoelectrochemical Applications
Nanostructured materials are used in many photoelectrochemical applications primarily due to surface area considerations. These materials are usually applied as nanoporous electrodes, which are made by the sin...

Photoelectrochromic windows and displays
PHOTOCHROMIC materials1,2 change colour on absorption of light, whereas electrochromic materials3,4 change colour in response to an electrically induced change in oxidation state. Both classes of materials are b...
