A series of NO-bound, iron-functionalized polyoxovanadate-alkoxide (FePOV-alkoxide) clusters have been synthesized, providing insight into the role of multimetallic constructs in the coordination and activation of a substrate. Upon exposure of the heterometallic cluster to NO, the vanadium-oxide metalloligand is oxidized

Articles

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques have emerged in the last ten years to meet various needs including semiconductor device miniaturization, conformal deposition on porous structures and coating of nanoparticles. ALD is based on two sequential self-limiting surface reactions.

The diversity of applications and nanostructured materials accessible using ultrasonic spray methods are highlighted in this article.

Spin-based electronic (spintronic) devices offer significant improvement to the limits of conventional charge-based memory and logic devices which suffer from high power usage, leakage current, performance saturation, and device complexity.

Ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) is effective for preparing a wide array of materials and is scalable and continuous. Nanomaterials prepared by USP include nanoporous metal oxides and sulfides, nanocomposites, semiconductor quantum dots, and conductive metal inks.
