Conduction properties of semiconductive multiwalled carbon nanotubes

2022

AbstractWe have undertaken low-temperature conduction measurements on arc-discharge synthesized, semiconducting multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT). The diameters of these are in the range 2.5–10 nm, corresponding to the sizes just above single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT), up to middle-sized MWNTs. The energy gap, inversely related to the diameter, varies strongly in this range, and consequently there is a strong dependence of the transport on tube diameter. Certain transport characteristics are much alike those found in SWNTs, such as the ON-state resistance and Coulomb blockade. However, the transport gap has a more complex behavior than the corresponding one in semiconducting SWNTs, a…

Second Harmonic Emission From Dielectric Nanoresonators in the Absorption Regime

2023

We study second harmonic generation in dielectric nanocylinders as a function of the wavelength of the incident field and geometrical dimensions. Uncommonly, we consider a spectral range in which the emitted nonlinear signal is partially absorbed by the dielectric. Surprisingly, we reveal that the second harmonic efficiency does not decrease as the imaginary part of the complex dielectric refractive index increases. Indeed, the presence of higher order multipoles supported by the resonators at the fundamental wavelength can significantly boost the generated second harmonic signal even in the dielectric absorption spectral region achieving nonlinear efficiency of the same order of magnitude …

Surface modification of poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) with amino-functionalized silica nanoparticles

2011

In this work we studied the possibility to achieve a hybrid-surface through the modification, via a facile wet chemical process, of the surface of films of poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) (EAA) with amino-modified silica nanoparticles. Films of EAA were preliminarily activated by the introduction of -COCl groups on their surface. Silica nanoparticles were thereafter covalently bound on the polymeric surface as confirmed by FTIR, ATR-FTIR, XPS, NMR and SEM determinations. The nanoparticles formed a multilayer on the film surface and covered almost uniformly the whole film surface. Direct measurements of superficial amino groups by titration allowed us to detect a concentration of about 18 nmo…

Optoelectronic devices based on caesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals

2020

Tradicionalmente, la implementación de materiales activos en circuitos fotónicos integrados se ha basado en la utilización de semiconductores III-V y vidrios y materiales ferroeléctricos dopados con iones de tierras raras. Sin embargo, en la actualidad existe una alternativa basada en (nano) materiales sintetizados por técnicas de química coloidal. La posibilidad de procesar nanomateriales en solución permite fabricar semiconductores con propiedades ópticas (emisión, absorción, dispersión de luz) que pueden diseñarse durante la síntesis. Además, su naturaleza coloidal permite integrarlas en cualquier arquitectura óptica mediante sencillas técnicas de impresión en tinta. En este contexto, lo…

A New Simple Function for Combustion and Cyclic Variation Modeling in Supercharged Spark Ignition Engines

2022

Research in the field of Internal Combustion (IC) engines focuses on the drastic reduction of both pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions. A promising alternative to gasoline and diesel fuel is represented by the use of gaseous fuels, above all green hydrogen but also Natural Gas (NG). In previous works, the authors investigated the performance, efficiency, and emissions of a supercharged Spark Ignition (SI) engine fueled with mixtures of gasoline and natural gas; a detailed research involving the combustion process of this kind of fuel mixture has been previously performed and a lot of experimental data have been collected. Combustion modeling is a fundamental tool in the design and optimi…

Machine Learning Models for Measuring Syntax Complexity of English Text

2019

In this paper we propose a methodology to assess the syntax complexity of a sentence representing it as sequence of parts-of-speech and comparing Recurrent Neural Networks and Support Vector Machine. We have carried out experiments in English language which are compared with previous results obtained for the Italian one.
