Class I and Class II materials are two fundamental concepts in the field of materials science, which are used to describe the crystal structure types of materials and are often applied in the research of materials such as semiconductors and metals. So, how do we distinguish between Class I materials and Class II materials? A simple method is to distinguish based on the density of the material. Com...

Quantum dots (QDs) refer to semiconductor nanoparticles with a size smaller than the Bohr radius of the exciton and exhibiting quantum confinement effects. Due to the quantum confinement effect, the fluorescence emission of quantum dots is related to their diameter and chemical composition. By compounding with semiconductor surfaces, their optical and photochemical properties can be enhanced. Trad...

The specific surface area of a powder is an important physical property, which refers to the total surface area (in square meters) of an oxide powder per unit mass (in grams). The size of the specific surface area is related to factors such as particle size, shape, and porosity of the powder. Generally speaking, the smaller the particles and the higher the porosity, the larger the specific surface...

High entropy alloys (HEAs) are a new type of structural material composed of five or more elements in nearly equal atomic ratios, exhibiting characteristics such as high entropy effect, lattice distortion effect, slow diffusion effect, and cocktail effect. Laser cladding technology can significantly improve the hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of HEAs cladding layers due to its ...

What are nanoparticles? Nanoparticles (NPs) are typically defined as granular materials with at least one dimension at the nanoscale (1-100 nm) in three-dimensional space. From the dimensions of structure and morphology, nanoparticles can be classified into zero dimensional nanomaterials (0D nanomaterials), corresponding to one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials. 0D nanopartic...

Why do nanoparticles aggregate? 1.Surface free energy driven mechanism Nanoparticles have a larger specific surface area and unsaturated surface atoms, leading to an increase in surface free energy. Multi particle contact can reduce the total surface area, release interfacial energy, and thus lower the system's free energy. This trend of energy minimization is the intrinsic thermodynamic driving f...

1.Characterization of particle size and distribution Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS): DLS is one of the most commonly used techniques for measuring the particle size and distribution of nanoparticles in suspensions. It calculates the hydrodynamic diameter of particles by measuring the time-dependent light scattering intensity fluctuations caused by Brownian motion of particles. DLS can also provide...
