摘要:
This invention relates to the controlled growth of uniform octapod-shaped colloidal nanocrystals and use thereof. These octapod-shaped nanocrystals can be applied in many fields of technology. This represents the first approach reported so far for the predictable and controlled fabrication of octapod-shaped nanocrystals. The synthesis approach is applicable to a broad range of materials, such as group II-VI semiconductor nanocrystals but is not limited to these materials. Using several cation exchange and oxidation procedures, we also demonstrate in this application that extremely uniform octapod-shaped nanocrystals of other materials can be synthesized, including various semiconductors, metals and insulators.
摘要:
Optical logic gate having a second-harmonic generator element that receives a first and a second optical input signal respectively having a first and a second angular frequency and respectively having a first and a second polarization, and which provides a second-harmonic optical signal having a third angular frequency and a third polarization. The third angular frequency is equal to the sum of the first and the second angular frequency. The third polarization is a function of the first and the second polarization. The second-harmonic generator element includes a second-harmonic generator layer in a material having a non-null second-order optical tensor.
摘要:
Process for treating a fibrous material, to make said material hydrophobic and/or water-repellent, comprising the operation of impregnating said material with a suspension comprising nanoparticles of a hydrophobic material and a cyanoacrylate in an organic solvent and causing the crosslinking of said cyanoacrylate; the process uses an amount of cyanoacrylate and a weight ratio with the nanoparticles such as to produce complete or partial coating of the fibrous material with a matrix of crosslinked cyanoacrylate in which said nanoparticles are dispersed.
