Microbial Synthesis of ZnO Nanoparticles by Yeast: Sacchromyces cerevisiae
Abstract: This study outlines, low-cost, green and reproducible eukaryotic microbe yeast (Sacchromyces cerevisiae)-mediated biosynthesis of ZnO nanoparticles. Synthesis was performed by four different steps namely, isolation, treatment, transformation and extraction. Different characterization techniques were used to test the nature of nanoparticle—crystallite size and shape by X-ray diffraction, morphology by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and particle size by particle analyzer. ZnO nanoparticles were characterized in order to study different properties of the …

Sol–Gel Synthesis of SrAl4O7 and Defect-Related Luminescence Properties
Abstract: Single phase of monoclinic SrAl4O7 is synthesized by sol–gel process at a markedly lower temperature as compared to conventional solid-state reaction. The sol–gel derived samples were characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and spectrofluorometer. The XRD analysis shows that the strontium aluminate has the monoclinic (α-SrA2) structure. It was demonstrated that the PL emission was obtained at 395 nm, 510 nm …

Patterning of Carbon Nanotubes on Silicon Wafer Using Self-Assembly Techniques
Abstract: Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that enables scientists to develop new materials and products at the molecular level. A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a rolled sheet of carbon atoms, coaxially arranged in cylindrical shape. Single-walled CNTs are ideal quantum systems for exploring basic science in one dimension. To find use in electronics, single-walled CNTs need to be efficiently separated by electronic type and aligned to ensure optimal and reproducible electronic …
