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 sintering of materials involves at least two processes: densification of the body and growth of grains in the body. The longevity of grains is usually achieved through the movement of grain boundaries. According to the classical theory of grain growth kinetics, the difference in free energy between the two sides of a curved grain boundary is the driving force that causes the interface to move ...

After purchasing our company's nano iron oxide powder, the customer found that the particle size was larger during testing. Why is that? Because the particle size of nano powder is very fine, it is easy to agglomerate, so the large particle size tested is the particle size after agglomeration. So how can we effectively disperse nano iron oxide powder? Next, we will introduce how to use ultrasonic ...

In transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, the primary and crucial step in obtaining a high-quality image that can be interpreted reasonably is sample preparation. Inappropriate sample thickness, poor conductivity, or damage introduced during sample preparation can directly lead to abnormal electron beam penetration, image distortion, and even sample scrapping. TEM sample requirements ① T...

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...
