Potentiostatic Deposition of ZnO Nanowires: Effect of Applied Potential and Z...IJRES Journal
In this work we report on potentiostatic deposition of Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) covered glass substrates from electroreduction of molecular oxygen. The influence of applied deposition potential, and the concentrations of zinc precursor (ZnCl2) on the properties of ZnO nanowires was investigated.SEM results revealed that ZnO nanowires electrodeposited at applied potential -0.85Vhave high density and good alignment. The diameters and densities of the electrodeposited ZnO nanowires are strongly dependent on the zinc ion concentrations and well aligned nanowires with uniform diameter can be obtained when the concentration of zinc ions is between 0.5 mM and 1 mM.
In this article, we are introducing some technique of growth Nanowire for Nanostructures for physics, A Nanowire considered as a Nanostructure which is build blocks for the generation of electrons protons neutrons positions and the sensor and also the energy applications. In this project, we are to synthesis and growth of semiconductor nanowire made by metallic both of the axial and radial structure and their properties discuss here.

Fabrication and characterization of nickelijoejournal
This paper shows that nickel nanowires of length 11μm and diameters 800 and 15nm were grown within
the pores of nuclear track polycarbonate membrane by electrodepositing nickel. Surface morphology and
crystallographic structure of the deposited nanowires was investigated using SEM, TEM and XRD
respectively. It is found that low current density gives good result, while high current density leads to the
formation of curled nanowires. Fabricated nanowires were further investigated for electrical properties
and found that nanowires obey ohm’s law. Through structural characterization it has been observed that
the fabricated nanowires posses FCC lattice structure.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

7. Introduction to Nanowires
Nanowires of metallic and semi-conducting
materials have drawn a lot of research
interest because of their potential
applications in fields like nanoelectronics,
opto-electronics and sensors. Nanowires
exhibit unique electrical, magnetic, optical,
thermoelectric and chemical properties
compared to their bulk counterpart. Electronic
conduction takes place both by bulk
conduction and through tunneling
mechanism.
8. Special Characteristics
• Nanowires exhibit high density of electronic
state.
• They have diameter-dependant band gap.
• They show enhanced surface scattering of
electrons and phonons.
• They have increased excitation energy, high
surface to volume ratio and large aspect ratio.
9. Fundamental Features
• One-dimensionality
• – Wire diameter: several nm ~ hundreds of nm’s
• – Aspect ratio: L:D >10:1
• Material integrity
• – Single crystalline nanostructure
• Availability of numerous materials
• – Superconductor, metal, semiconductor, insulator
• Unique physical properties
• – Large surface-to-volume ratio
• – High transport/carrier mobility
• – Quantum confinement/tunable band structure
10. Quantum Confinement Effects
– Quantum dots (0-D): confined states, and no
freely moving ones
– Nanowires (1-D): particles travel only along the
wire direction
– Quantum wells (2-D): confines particles within a
thin layer
There is no confinement
effect in Bulk materials.
Refer to energy distribution.
12. Growth of Semiconductor Nanowires

16. Nanowire Fabrication
Template synthesis using polymer and anodic
alumina membranes
Electrochemical deposition
Ensures fabrication of electrically continuous wires
since only takes place on conductive surfaces
Applicable to a wide range of materials
High pressure injection
Limited to elements and heterogeneously-melting
compounds with low melting points
Does not ensure continuous wires
Does not work well for diameters < 30-40 nm
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or VLS technique
Laser assisted techniques
19. Anodic Alumina Template Preparation
Anodization of aluminum
Start with uniform layer of ~1mm Al
Al serves as the anode, Pt may serve as the cathode, and
0.3M oxalic acid is the electrolytic solution
Low temperature process (2-50C)
40V is applied
Anodization time is a function of sample size and distance
between anode and cathode
Key Attributes of the process (per M. Sander)
Pore ordering increases with template thickness – pores are
more ordered on bottom of template
Process always results in nearly uniform diameter pore, but not
always ordered pore arrangement
Aspect ratios are reduced when process is performed when in
contact with substrate
20. Electrochemical mechanism
• The overall reaction that takes place during
anodization is:
2Al + 3H2O => Al2O3 + 3H2
At the anode:
2Al + 3O2- => Al2O3 + 6e-
At the cathode:
6H+ + 6e- ==> 3H2
• The Al is oxidized at the metal/oxide
interface
• The oxide is etched away by the acid with
the applied potential
• The pores are induced by the roughness of
the top surface
TEM micrographs

25. Electrochemical Synthesis
• Electrochemistry has been used to fabricate
nanowires of Cu and heterojunctions of Cu-Se
and Cd-S. The results of our investigations can
be exploited for fabrication of nanodevices for
application in opto-electronics and nano-electronics.
During failure of our Experiments,
exotic patterns ( nanoflowers, nanocrystals,
nanobuds) were produced under nature’s self
assembly.
49. A Billion Dollar Question …
• What can nanowires offer for semiconductor
nanoelectronics?
• Nonlithographic & extremely cost-effective
• Reduced phonon scattering: High carrier
mobility but reduced thermal conductance(?)
• Tunable electrical/optical properties
• Large surface-to-volume ratio: Sensor
sensitivity & memory programming efficiency
50. Advantages of 1-D Nanowires

52. Quantum-Wire Device
M. Bjork (Nano Letters, Sept. 2004)
1. In-situ control of nanowire synthesis allows design of strongly confined
quantum mechanical systems inside nanowires, possibly useful for SET .
2. Next-generation nanoelectronic devices with extremely-low power, high
performance, and radiation tolerance.
56. Role of Nanowires for Next-
Generation Electronics
• The chemical and physical characteristics of
nanowires, including composition, size,
electronic and optical properties, can be
rationally controlled during synthesis in a
predictable manner, thus making these
materials attractive building blocks for
assembling electronic and optoelectronics
nanosystems.
57. Some Observations & Remarks
