A detailed first principles theoretical study of assemblies of five polymer (as donor)–PCBM
(as acceptor) assemblies is presented here, with a view to assessing the potential of these …

AgCuAl equimolar complex concentrated alloy (CCA) thin films are deposited on glass
substrates using a high-vacuum sputtering system. The films are annealed at 400° C for 5 …

In this work, we report a study on the effect of the laser-assisted alloying effect on plasmonic
properties of Pd and Au-Pd nanostructures using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy …

Pd and Pt nanoparticles on Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) are produced. This outcome is
reached by processing nanoscale-thick Pd and Pt films deposited on the FTO surface by …

In this work we study the plasmonic properties of Au nanoparticles on fluorine doped-tin-
oxide (FTO) correlating these properties to the structural characteristics of the nanoparticles …
