One-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials especially nanowires and nanorods have been attracted very much in both academia and industry because of their potential diverse applications. In this chapter, the definition and classification of 1D nanomaterials, physical and chemical properties, and different types of...
Classification of nanoscale dimensions. (© Nanowerk) Quantum dotsand small nanoparticles are often referred to as "zero-dimensional" (0D) structures, despite having three physical dimensions. This might sound confusing at first, but it’s because we’re talking about their quantum mechanical prop...
19 August 2016 Jiao Li, Xinyu Fan,Yanpei Wei & Gang Chen By using density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation, we have carried out detailed investigations of two-dimensional BxNy nanomaterials in the Cairo pentagonal tiling geometry fully composed of pentagons (penta-...
As emerging carbon-based zero-dimensional nanomaterials, Carbon dots (C-dots) have drawn widespread attention since their emergence [23,24]. The most distinguishing feature of C-dots is their excitation wavelength dependent photoluminescence spectra, with emissions ranging from the visible wavelength to ...

direction inside the crystal. In this part,a brief introduction about category and crystal structure of these widely explored 2D nanomaterials will be given. 2.1. 2D layered materials Figure 1 lists the extensively studied members in the 2D layered materials family. We all know that stability is ...
(e.g. MoS2,WS2) called 'valley polarisation'. This property is linked to the spin and angular momentum of the electron and hole. Polarised optical excitation allows selective excitation of a particular valley, and hence carriers of a specific spin. This additional degree of freedom opens up ...
And the immune cells are often restricted to the peripheral blood instead of penetrating the tissues and organs [45]. More, the precise and comprehensive study of the cellular classification of immune cells within targeted diseases is not reported, and fail to elucidate due to the lack of ...
We present the many-body characterisation of a monoolein-based hexagonal phase doped with a phospholipid, revealing non-uniform curvature in the lipid channels, likely due to phase separation of the lipids in the membrane. Our many-body technique has general applicability to nanomaterials with order...
Nanomaterials with core-shell architectures are prominent examples of strain-engineered materials. The lattice mismatch between the core and shell materials can cause strong interface strain, which affects the surface structures. Therefore, surface funct
