Effect of Disorder in Nanocrystalline La0.5Pr0.2Ca1–xBaxMnO3 Manganites
Abstract: Nanocrystalline samples of La0.5Pr0.2Ca0.3–xBaxMnO3 (LPCBMO) (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30) manganites were successfully synthesized by employing prolonged grinding process in conventional solid-state reaction route. The obtained value of crystallite size (CS) varies from 76 nm in lower doped sample (x = 0.05) to 13 nm in the sample doped with Ba2+ (x) = 0.05. The variation in CS with x has been discussed in the context …

Experimental Analysis of Heat Transfer
Abstract: Experimental heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of Al2O3/water nanofluid in a circular tube with meshes and without meshes is reported in this paper. The SEM image of Al2O3 nanoparticles in base fluid showed that the particles are uniformly dispersed in base fluid and tiny agglomeration of nanoparticles are present. The experiments were conducted under turbulent conditions with varying flow rates. It is observed the heat transfer rates increased by …

Facile Synthesis and Characterization of ZIF-8 Nanocrystals
Abstract: Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are important subclass of porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The ZIFs structure has zeolitic framework topologies wherein all tetrahedral atoms are transition metal ions and are bridged by imidazolate (IM) units. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is a prototypical member of ZIF family, constituted from zinc metal ions and 2-methylimidazole as bridging linkers. ZIF-8 nanocrystals have gained significant research interest in recent past due to its applications in …

Fundamentals of Picoscience
Abstract: The book under review consists of 37 Chapters which are further divided into IX parts, namely, Picoscale Detection, Picoscale Characterization, Picoscale Imaging, Scanning Probe Microscopy, Electron Orbitals, Atomic Scale Magnetism, Picowires, Picometer Positioning, and Picoscale Devices. As the Section headings suggest, the Book proposes to cover the methods and materials at the picometer-size scale, which is the next size range, three orders of magnitude, below nanometer.

Silver Nanoparticles Incorporated Soy Protein and Chitosan based Biomaterials
Abstract: Chitosan and soy protein are abundantly available renewable biopolymers. The combination of the nano-sized powders and the biopolymer matrix will result in the formation of bio-nanocomposites. Due to bactericidal properties, silver nanoparticles are widely used in the medical applications. Chitosan and soy protein based bio-nanocomposites can be fabricated by incorporating silver nanoparticles in the biopolymer matrix. The bio-nanocomposites fabricated can be used as antimicrobial packaging which can be considered as …
