Bimetallism as a policy for the British Empire
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1882)In this paper I take as proved the Bullionist theory; that is to say, the doctrine that the circulating medium ought to possess intrinsic value. All who admit this admit further that the circulating medium ?or rather the ... -
The financial economics of white precious metals - A survey
(2017)This article provides a review of the academic literature on the financial economics of silver, platinum and palladium. The survey covers the findings on a wide variety of topics relation to the White Precious Metals ... -
Microscopic origin of the 1.3 G0 conductance observed in oxygen-doped silver quantum point contacts
(2014)Besides the peak at one conductance quantum, G0, two additional features at ∼0.4 G0 and ∼1.3 G0 have been observed in the conductance histograms of silver quantum point contacts at room temperature in ambient conditions. ... -
Observations on the gold crisis, the price of silver and the demand for it; with answer to the question, "What becomes of the new supplies of gold"
(Dublin Statistical Society, 1855)A decline in the value of either of the precious metals must proceed very slowly; as, owing to their natural qualities and the purposes to which we turn them, they are calculated to accumulate gradually from age to age, ... -
Plasmon-enhanced energy transfer in a hybrid system using silver nanobox array geometries
(2015)Silver metal nanobox arrays are used to demonstrate plasmon-enhanced non-radiative energy transfer from an InGaN/GaN quantum well to a ~80 nm thick layer of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots embedded in PMMA. Three arrays of ... -
"Resistance of Single Ag Nanowire Junctions and Their Role in the Conductivity of Nanowire Networks"
(2015)Networks of silver nanowires appear set to replace expensive indium tin oxide as the transparent conducting electrode material in next generation devices. The success of this approach depends on optimising the material ... -
Silver Tarnishing Mechanism Revealed by Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(2019)The mechanism of silver-oxygen and silver-sulphur reactions is revealed by means of molecular dynamics simulations, performed with reactive force fields purposely built and extensively tested against quantum chemical ... -
Structural, optical, and electrical properties of silver gratings prepared by nanoimprint lithography of nanoparticle ink
(2021)A facile method for fabrication of silver gratings using silver nanoparticle ink and nanoimprint lithography is investigated. The properties of silver nanoparticle ink grating and planar samples, with and without a PMMA ... -
Time-variation in the relationship between white precious metals and inflation: A cross-country analysis
(2018)In recent years, as a result of an increasing financialisation of financial markets, white precious metals have slowly transformed from mere production inputs to investment assets. In order to analyse the characteristics ... -
Transition voltages of vacuum-spaced and molecular junctions with Ag and Pt electrodes
(2014)The transition voltage of vacuum-spaced and molecular junctions constructed with Ag and Pt electrodes is investigated by non-equilibrium Green's function formalism combined with density functional theory. Our calculations ...
