Gold is an element whose unique properties are strongly influenced by relativistic effects. A
large body of appropriate calculations now exists and its main conclusions are summarized …

Using first-principles calculations, we predict a novel stable boron sheet and boron
nanotubes which show various electronic properties. The boron sheet is flat and has the …

A method of inducing hyperthermia in at least a portion of a target area—eg, a tumor or a
portion of a tumor or targeted cancerous cells—is provided. Targeted RF absorption …

Gold is considered as an inert metal and ranks as one of the noblest among all the metals.
Progressive importance associated with nanotechnology offers potential development of …

Karbon nanotüpler, nanoteknolojinin uygulama aşamasında önemli bir yol katedilmiş alt
dallarından biridir. Kendilerine özgü yapıları ve üstün özelliklerinden dolayı nanotüpler, bilim …

Using the first-principles plane wave pseudopotential method we have studied structural,
electronic, and transport properties of atomic chains of group-IV elements and group III-V …

The water gas shift (WGS) reaction is an important step in many industrial processes and
has thus stimulated various investigations focusing on optimising its catalysts. Previous …

Much has been learned from the use of resonance Raman spectroscopy and high-resolution
transmission electron microscopy techniques about the micro-/nanoscopic structure of …

We simulate from first principles the energetic, structural, and electronic properties of
ferroelectric (FE) ultrathin PbTiO 3 nanotubes. The nanotube possesses spontaneous …

In this paper, we investigate the effects of wall thickness on the light scattering characters of
long gold nanotubes. The light scattering is shown to be strongly influenced by the changing …
