We evaluated the robust, lightweight DiSCmini (DM) aerosol monitor for its ability to measure the concentration and mean diameter of submicrometer aerosols. Tests were conducted with monodispersed and polydispersed aerosols composed of two particle types (sodium chloride [NaCl] and spark-generated m

For the first time, well-dispersed submicrometer-sized YVO(4):Eu(3+) hollow spheres were successfully synthesized though a surfactant-free method by employing Y(OH)CO(3):Eu(3+) colloidal spheres as a sacrificial template and NH(4)VO(3) as a vanadium source. The synthetic process mainly consists of t

Devices based upon semiconductor nanowires provide many well-known advantages for next-generation photovoltaics, however, limited experimental techniques exist to determine essential electrical parameters within these devices. We present a novel application of a technique based upon two-photon induc
