Nowadays perpendicular ferromagnetic nanowires have drawn substantial interest because of the potential use in many areas of advanced nanotechnology, particularly high-density recording media. A great recording medium in this respect includes a densely organized assembly of nanometer-scale ferromagnets with high magnetization and
Self-assembly has surfaced as a promising way of fabrication of novel hybrid materials and nanostructures. The work offered in this dissertation has been centered on creating nanoscale materials based on synthetic de novo designed polypeptides. The polypeptides have been useful for the
Analysis of the chemical/biological species involved in health care is the most important step for diseases diagnosis and new drug screening. Barcoded nano/microparticles are attracting more and more interest for detection and identification of multiplexed chemical/biological species simultaneously. However, the development of
One important driving force in nanotechnology today is the change which can be made in the properties of a material when the dimensions of its individual building blocks are decreased below approximately 100 nm. Such small building blocks, typically nanoparticles, may induce
In this Thesis, I have investigated multifunctional nanostructured Ti-Si-C thin films synthesized by magnetron sputtering in the substrate-temperature range from room temperature to 900 °C. The studies cover high-temperature growth of Ti3SiC2 and Ti4SiC3, low-temperature growth of Ti-Si-C nanocomposites, and Ti-Si-C-based multilayers,
Nanotechnology plays an important role in today’s society because it allows convergence to the nanoscale, that is to say to the level of atoms and molecules, as part of a miniaturization trend; and also because it is being used for improving human
