Starting from the late seventies, the progressively increased availability of synchrotron light
sources allowed the execution of experiments requiring a high X-ray flux in a continuous …

Graphitized carbon nanofibers (GNFs) act as efficient templates for the growth of gold
nanoparticles (AuNPs) adsorbed on the interior (and exterior) of the tubular nanostructures …

Element-specific orbital magnetic moments and their anisotropies in perpendicularly
magnetised Co/Pd multilayers are investigated using Co L-edge and Pd M-edge angle …

The magnetic properties of Pd–Co alloys and their hydrides were investigated. From the
temperature dependences of magnetization of Pd–Co alloys, simple ferromagnetic …

Co-Pd multilayers obtained by Pd capping of pre-deposited Co nanoparticles on amorphous
alumina are systematically studied by means of high-resolution transmission electron …

The synthesis of mesoporous carbon with confined PdCo nanoalloy particles by a one-pot
soft-template approach is reported herein. The influence of metal precursor type, metal …

The role of a catalyst in improving the activity and selectivity of a given chemical reaction is
defined, together with a discussion of the reasons why X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) …

During the last years great attention has been given to the encapsulation of magnetic
nanoparticles. In this work we investigated the stability of small magnetic particles inside …

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes were successfully grown on flexible carbon fibers by
plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The diameter of the CNT is controllable by …

Well-defined sized (5–10 nm) metallic iron nanoparticles (NPs) with body-centered cubic
structure encapsulated inside the tip of millimeter-long vertically aligned carbon nanotubes …
