Thermally Promoted Cation Exchange at the Solid State in the Transmission Electron Microscope: How It Actually Works

Cation exchange offers a strong postsynthetic tool for nanoparticles that are unachievable via direct synthesis, but its velocity makes observing the onset of the reaction in the liquid state almost impossible. After successfully proving that cation exchan ...

Precipitation in lean Mg-Zn-Ca alloys

Cécile Hébert, Davide Deiana

While lean Mg-Zn-Ca alloys are promising materials for temporary implants, questions remain on the impact of Zn and Ca on the microstructure. In this context, the precipitation of Zn and Ca in Mg-1.5Zn-0.25Ca (in wt.%), initially extruded at 330 & DEG;C, t ...

Unexpected Insights about Cation-Exchange on Metal Oxide Nanoparticles and Its Effect on Their Magnetic Behavior

Davide Deiana

Tuning the magnetic behavior of nanoparticles via the control of their features has always been challenging because these features are mostly intertwined. In the last years, a novel synthetic approach based on cation-exchange has been reported, and one of ...

Geometrical Effect in 2D Nanopores

Andras Kis, Aleksandra Radenovic, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Davide Deiana, Ke Liu, Dumitru Dumcenco, Martina Lihter, Vasiliki Tileli, Aditya Sarathy

A long-standing problem in the application of solid-state nanopores is the lack of the precise control over the geometry of artificially formed pores compared to the well-defined geometry in their biological counterpart, that is, protein nanopores. To date ...

Suppressing Nucleation in Metal–Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition of MoS2

Andras Kis, Davide Deiana, Dmitry Ovchinnikov, Dmitrii Unuchek, Hokwon Kim

Toward the large-area deposition of MoS2 layers, we employ metal–organic precursors of Mo and S for a facile and reproducible van der Waals epitaxy on c-plane sapphire. Exposing c-sapphire substrates to alkali metal halide salts such as KI or NaCl together ...

Building Composite Iron-Manganese Oxide Flowerlike Nanostructures: A Detailed Magnetic Study

Davide Deiana

Here we show that it is possible to produce different magnetic core multiple shell heterostructures from monodisperse Fe3O4 spherical magnetic seeds by finely controlling the amount of a manganese precursor and using, in a smart and simple way, a cation-ex ...

Towards defect-free 1-D GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures based on GaAs nanomembranes

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Davide Deiana, Federico Matteini, Heidi Andrea Potts

We demonstrate the growth of defect-free zinc-blende GaAs nanomembranes by molecular beam epitaxy. Our growth studies indicate a strong impact of As-4 re-emission and shadowing in the growth rate of the structures. The highest aspect ratio structures are o ...
