Through the use of photoelectron spectroscopy in air (PESA), we investigate the size-
dependent valence and conduction band-edge energies of CdSe, CdTe, PbS, and PbSe …

A stable silver nanoparticles/carbon quantum dots (Ag/CQDs) composite was prepared by
using CQDs as reducing and stabilizing agent. The CQDs synthesized with …

The present investigation reports, the novel synthesis of nanoparticles Ni and NiO using
thermal decomposition and their physicochemical characterization. The nanoparticles Ni …

Chemistry on solid surfaces is central to many areas of practical interest such as
heterogeneous catalysis, tribology, electrochemistry, and materials processing. With the …

Over the last three decades reactions of organic and organometallic compounds on silicon
surfaces have been of great interest. This interest has been fueled by potential applications …

The present investigation reports the novel synthesis of copper nanocrystals using thermal
reduction, and their physicochemical characterization. The copper nanocrystal powder has …

The chemical reactivity of the buckled dimer on Si (100) is reviewed from the viewpoint of
physical properties of the substrate and the molecules, which have been obtained by …

We have demonstrated the layer-by-layer growth, via a urea coupling reaction between two
bifunctional molecules, ethylenediamine and 1, 4-phenylene diisocyanate, to form an …
