Silver nanoparticles with size of 6- 57nm were synthesized by bioreduction method from Anisochilus carnosus aqueous and ethanolic extract. Biosynthesized nanoparticles showed maximum antimicrobial activity against K. pneumonia (13±1.67mm), E.coli (13±1.97mm) and B. subtilis (13±1.07mm) followed by P. aeruginosa and minimum against S. aureus. The quantitative formation, characteristics and impurities of silver nanoparticles were studied […]
In this study adsorption of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene on single walled carbon nanotubes has been investigated. The effect of contact time, pH, initial concentration of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene, adsorbent dosage and temperature on its adsorption has been carried out in order to find optimum adsorption conditions. Adsorption isotherms and related constants were also determined. Results showed that contact time […]
We have used Lithium Aluminum Hydroxide reducing method of silver nitrate to prepare heterogeneous silver-silica nanocomposite particles with thiol and amino groups serving to bind the Ag nanoparticles to the surfaces of the SiO2 nanoparticles. We examined products of these reductions using FTIR, SEM, XRD and UV-vis. spectroscopy. The SiO2 nanoparticles had diameters ranging from […]
The fluid flow and heat transfer in a three-dimensional microchannel filled with Al2O3– water nanofluid is numerically investigated. The hybrid scheme is used to discretize the convection terms and SIMPLER algorithm is adopted to couple the velocity and pressure field in the momentum equations. The thermal and flow fields were analyzed using different volume fractions […]
Calcium fluoride nanoparticles with special amount of cerium ion (%1) were synthesized by coprecipitation. Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), absorption and photoluminescence (PL) from CaF2Ce nanoparticles has been investigated. FTIR spectra reveal that there are some amounts of OH, NO3 and other organic functional groups on the particle surfaces before the post […]
In this paper, a novel method of producing bi-metallic alloy nanoparticles at low temperatures using hydrogen bombardment of thin films, deposited on glass substrates, is introduced. Optical and morphological characteristics of the nanoparticles were extensively studied for various conditions of plasma treatment, such as plasma power density, temperature, duration of hydrogen bombardment, thickness of the […]
The effective removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater is the most important issues for many industrialized countries and it is big challenge for human being. This research focuses on understanding adsorption process and developing a cost effective technology for treatment of heavy metals-contaminated industrial wastewater. In this investigation the Fe2O3 magnetic nano adsorbents are […]
In this study, we describe the growth of carbon nanotubes on commercial iron nanoparticles without carbon shell (Fe (nm), size 2O3 and Fe* (nm)/MgO) was carried out by mixing commercial Fe* nanoparticles (as catalyst) with Al2O3 and MgO powders (as supports)by using ball-milling method. The results show in spite of the fact that ball-milling process […]
The effects of adding Nano-Silica particles on the compressive strength and water permeability of concrete and its comparison with that of Micro-Silica were investigated in this work. The effect of combination of Nano- silica and Micro-silica were also studied in this work, which resulted in an increase in compressive strength of concrete in comparison with […]
In this paper energy bands and Berry curvature of graphene was studied. Desired Hamiltonian regarding the next-nearest neighbors obtained by tight binding model. By using the second quantization approach, the transformation matrix is calculated and the Hamiltonian of system is diagonalized. With this Hamiltonian, the band structure and wave function can be calculated. By using […]
In this paper, we investigate variation of the wavelength, intensity and polarization of the self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots emission by microphotoluminescence spectroscopy at the liquid helium temperature. The microcavity wafer sample is grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and chemically etched into the micropillar structure (with elliptical cross section – long and short axis 2µm×1.5µm […]
