In ambient atmospheres, aluminum becomes rapidly coated with a compact 2–3 nm thick
oxide layer. This native oxide layer prevents the metal surface from further oxidation …

▪ Abstract Semiconductor nanowires and nanotubes exhibit novel electronic and optical
properties owing to their unique structural one-dimensionality and possible quantum …

Here we report the synthesis, structure, and optical properties of ca. 100 nm star-shaped
gold nanoparticles. Single particle spectroscopy measurements revealed that these …

We review recent developments in the research on magnetic nanowires electrodeposited
into pores of membranes. Typical nanowires fabricated by this method have a diameter in …

The fabrication methods and physical properties of ordered magnetic nanostructures with
dimensions on the submicron to nanometer scale are reviewed. First, various types of …

Nanotechnology, in combination with surface engineering focused on a fabrication of
