A computationally efficient method for calculating the maximum conductance of disordered nanowire networks
(2010)Random networks of carbon nanotubes and metallic nanowires have shown to be very useful in the production of transparent, conducting films. The electronic transport on the film depends considerably on the network properties, ... -
The effects of residual stress on the material characterisation of individual nanowires
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2017)Many of the techniques currently used to measure the mechanical properties of individual nanowires make the assumption that initially the nanowires are in a zero-stress state. However, due to their small sizes and large ... -
Harmonic and superparamagnetic nanoparticles for biomedical imaging and diagnostic applications
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2020)Diagnosing certain diseases and tracking their progression requires the ability to 'see' into the body. This is typically achieved by taking advantage of intrinsic contrast in biological tissues (such as in X-ray or magnetic ... -
In operandi observation of dynamic annealing: A case study of boron in germanium nanowire devices
(2015)We report on the implantation of boron in individual, electrically contacted germanium nanowires with varying diameter and present a technique that monitors the electrical properties of a single device during implantation ... -
Internalization of ferromagnetic nanowires by different living cells
(2006)The ability of living cells, either adherent or suspended, to internalize nickel nanowires is demonstrated for MC3T3-E1, UMR106-tumour and Marrow-Stromal cells. Nanowires were produced by electrodeposition, 20 mum long and ... -
Long-ranged dynamic magnetic interaction through low-dimensional systems
(American Physical Society, 2008)Magnetic units attached to low-dimensional metallic nanowires are known to interact via the conduction electrons of the wire leading to preferential alignment directions of the respective magnetic moments. In addition to ... -
Photoluminescence study of basal plane stacking faults in ZnO nanowires
(2014)We have investigated the photoluminescence (PL) of ZnO nanowires (NWs) containing a high density ($1 106 cm 1) of basal plane stacking faults (BSFs). It was observed that the BSFs result in a specific PL peak at $3.329 eV ...
