Realization of Tunable Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance of Cu@CuO Core-Shell Nanoparticles by the Pulse Laser Deposition Method.

Cu@CuO core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) not only possess a stabilized structure but also exhibit better photocatalytic performance as compared to pure CuO. Therefore, preparation of Cu@CuO core-shell NPs is key toward efficient photocatalysis applications. In this paper, the fabrication of Cu@CuO core-shell NPs on single-crystal MgO(100) substrates has been studied systematically by pulse laser deposition.

A Controllability Investigation of Magnetic Properties for FePt Alloy Nanocomposite Thin Films.

An appropriate writing field is very important for magnetic storage application of L1₀ FePt nanocomposite thin films. However, the applications of pure L1₀ FePt are limited due to its large coercivity. In this paper, the ratios of L1₀ and non-L1₀ phase FePt alloy nanoparticles in FePt/MgO (100) nanocomposite thin films were successfully tuned by pulsed laser deposition method.
