Polyoxometalate-Based Molecular Materials.
1998
Molecule-based materials with active physical properties, in particular electrical, magnetic, and optical, are a focus of contemporary materials chemistry research. Certainly, one reason for this interest has been the realization that these materials can exhibit cooperative properties typically associated with the inorganic network solids, as for example metallic conduction or even superconductivity,1 ferromagnetism,2 and nonlinear optical properties.3 With respect to the electrical properties, many important achievements were obtained in the 1970s with the discovery of the first molecule-based metal in 1972,4 namely the π-electron donor-acceptor complex [TTF][TCNQ] (TTF ) tetrathiafulvalen…
Efectos de los campos eléctrico y magnético sobre los estados electrónicos excitados en nanoestructuras cuánticas semiconductoras
2013
Las nanoestructuras cuánticas semiconductoras ofrecen un gran potencial en cuanto al diseño de nuevos materiales con propiedades ópticas novedosas. El confinamiento cuántico y la aplicación de campos eléctrico y magnético externos muestran una riqueza de efectos cuánticos cuya aplicación es en muchos casos desconocida. Es notable al respecto la gran cantidad de comprtamientos no lineales que muestran, por ejemplo, la energía excitónica, los tiempos de recombinación, el efecto túnel y la consiguiente extinción de la señal espectral de fotoluminiscencia en los semiconductores. Lo notable de los modelos, y que queda confirmado por los experimentos es la competición entre tres efectos presentes…
B and T lymphocytes are affected in lysosomal disorders--an immunoelectron microscopic study.
1991
Circulating lymphocytes of four patients with mucopolysaccharidoses II and IIIA, four patients with juvenile neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis, one patient each with glycogenosis type II, infantile neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis, and Gaucher disease were classified by immunoelectron microscopy as B or T lymphocytes. Disease-specific lysosomal inclusions as well as non-specific lysosomal organelles, especially Gall bodies were identified in B and T lymphocytes. These non-quantitative studies indicate that both B and T lymphocytes participate in the lysosomal storage process.
Crecimiento cristalino de nano y microestructuras de ZnO mediante PVD y MOCVD
2014
El tema central de esta tesis doctoral ha sido el crecimiento cristalino de nano y microestructuras de ZnO mediantes los métodos PVD y MOCVD. De manera general, mediante los diversos estudios realizados, hemos profundizado en el proceso de crecimiento de las nano y microestructuras de ZnO obtenidas con el método PVD en ausencia de catalizador dentro de un rango de temperaturas relativamente bajo (300-500 ºC). Los estudios realizados nos permitieron obtener la síntesis de una amplia gama de estructuras de ZnO con diferentes morfologías, como por ejemplo: poliedros aislados, agujas, hilos y capas rugosas. Adicionalmente, estos estudios nos han permitido mostrar que las características morfoló…
Applications of DNA self-assembled structures in nanoelectronics and plasmonics
2018
In this thesis, the potential applications of DNA self-assembled structures were explored in both nanoelectronics and plasmonics. The works can be divided into two parts: electrical characterization of unmodified multilayered DNA origami and DNA-gold-nanoparticle conjugates after they were trapped between gold nanoelectrodes by dielectrophoresis, and the development of a novel fabrication method using DNA origami as a template for smooth, high resolution metallic nanostructures as well as optical characterization of them. One of the biggest challenges in self-assembled nanoelectronic devices is to connect them to macroscopic circuits. Dielectrophoretic (DEP) trapping has been used extensivel…
DNA-based applications in molecular electronics
2011
This thesis is mainly focused on DNA molecules and especially on self-assembled DNA constructs and their potential applications in nanotechnology and molecular electronics. In the field of molecular electronics the conductivity of DNA is a crucial - yet open - question, and it is of great concern, since DNA is a very promising molecule in a context of bottom-up based nanodevices due to its superior selfassembly characteristics. A key tool in all the experiments presented in this thesis is a dielectrophoretic trapping technique, which was exploited in spatial manipulation of individualDNA molecules, DNA constructs and also semiconducting quantum dots. In the case of DNA, the technique provid…
Dielectrophoresis as an assembly method for carbon nanotube memory elements
2010
The experiments described in this Master's thesis aim to assess the practicality of using dielectrophoresis (DEP) for assembling memory elements from carbon nanotubes (CNTs). These elements were field-effect transistors (FETs) with a wide hysteresis window. The devices assessed were made on a silicon substrate with a HfO2 - TiO2 - HfO2 gate dielectric layer to ensure a predictable hysteresis for memory operation. The FETs were used for further research in regard to environmental effects in their operation. An average yield of 12.5 % over 26 different trapping attempts, a total of 650 gaps, was achieved for single trapped CNTs in a two-electrode configuration with a 1 µm gap between electrod…
Nanovadu sakārtošana uz elektrodiem ar dielektroforēzi nanoelektromehānisku slēdžu izveidei
2019
Dielektroforēze ir polarizējumu daļiņu manipulācija nehomogēnā elektriskā laukā. Ar šīs manipulācijas metodi ir iespējama viendimensionālu nanovadu sakārtošana uz mikroelektrodu pāriem, tāpēc var tikt pielietota nanoelektromehānisko slēdžu izveidē. Šīs nanoierīces veic pārslēgšanos starp izslēgtiem un ieslēgtiem stāvokļiem izmantojot nanovadus kā pārslēgšanās elementus. Darbā tika pētīta dielektroforēzes procesa iznākuma atkarība no dažādiem ietekmējošiem faktoriem ar mērķi optimizēt individuālu nanovadu sakārtošanu uz mikroelektrodu pāriem nanoelektromehānisko slēdžu izveidei. Eksperimentāli tika pētīts dielektrofororēzes procesa iznākuma atkarība no maiņsprieguma frekvences un amplitūdas …
Relationship between egg features and maternal body size in the simultaneous hermaphrodite Oxynoe olivacea (Mollusca, Opisthobranchia, Sacoglossa)
2005
This paper provides information on spawn morphology and egg features of the stenophagous planktotrophic Mediterranean sacoglossan Oxynoe olivacea. Smith and Fretwell’s hypothesis, predicting that individuals of the same population growing in the same environmental conditions and varying in size should spawn eggs of a constant size, was tested in a population of O. olivacea living in the Straits of Messina. To determine whether (a) spawn mass size, (b) total egg number per spawn, and (c) egg size were related to parent size of O. olivacea, 21 egg masses (seven egg masses deposited by seven different 20 mm animals, seven egg masses deposited by seven different 25 mm animals and seven egg mass…
Partitioning of nanoparticle-originated dissolved silver in natural and artificial sediments
2017
Sediments are believed to be a major sink for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the aquatic environment, but there is a lack of knowledge about the environmental effects and behavior of AgNPs in sediments. The release of highly toxic Ag+ through dissolution of AgNPs is one mechanism leading to toxic effects in sediments. We applied an ultrasound-assisted sequential extraction method to evaluate the dissolution of AgNPs and to study the partitioning of dissolved Ag in sediments. Silver was spiked into artificial and 2 natural sediments (Lake Höytiäinen sediment and Lake Kuorinka sediment) as silver nitrate (AgNO3), uncoated AgNPs, or polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated AgNPs (PVP-AgNPs). In addition, …
