Growth and characterization of germanium telluride nanowires via vapor-liquid-solid mechanism.

Phase-change materials (PCMs), which can transition reversibly between crystalline and amorphous phases, have shown great promise for next-generation memory devices due to their nonvolatility, rapid switching periods, and random-access capability. Several groups have investigated phase-change nanowires for memory applications in recent years. The ability to regulate the scale of nanostructures remains one of the most significant obstacles in nanoscience.

Effect of Oleylamine on the Surface Chemistry, Morphology, Electronic Structure, and Magnetic Properties of Cobalt Ferrite Nanoparticles.

The influence of oleylamine (OLA) concentration on the crystallography, morphology, surface chemistry, chemical bonding, and magnetic properties of solvothermal synthesized CoFeO (CFO) nanoparticles (NPs) has been thoroughly investigated. Varying OLA concentration (0.01-0.

Production of Size-Controlled Gold Nanoclusters for Vapor-Liquid-Solid Method.

This study demonstrated the deposition of size-controlled gold (Au) nanoclusters via direct-current magnetron sputtering and inert gas condensation techniques. The impact of different source parameters, namely, sputtering discharge power, inert gas flow rate, and aggregation length on Au nanoclusters' size and yield was investigated. Au nanoclusters' size and size uniformity were confirmed via transmission electron microscopy.

Eco-Friendly Synthesis, Crystal Chemistry, and Magnetic Properties of Manganese-Substituted CoFeO Nanoparticles.

The authors report on the effect of manganese (Mn) substitution on the crystal chemistry, morphology, particle size distribution characteristics, chemical bonding, structure, and magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite (CoFeO) nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by a simple, cost-effective, and eco-friendly one-pot aqueous hydrothermal method. Crystal structure analyses indicate that the Mn(II)-substituted cobalt ferrites, Co Mn FeO (CMFO, = 0.0-0.

Size and Chemistry Controlled Cobalt-Ferrite Nanoparticles and Their Anti-proliferative Effect against the MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells.

Engineering cobalt ferrites for application in health and biomedical science poses a challenge in terms of nanoscale morphology with a controlled size, shape, and thermochemical stability coupled with controlled properties for biocompatibility. Here, we report a simple one-step, low temperature approach to produce crystalline, nanosized cobalt ferrites (CFO) with a size ∼4.7 nm and demonstrate their applicability in breast cancer treatment.
