Tuning the electronic properties in TaN_x/Ag nanocomposite thin films

Abstract

The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of TaNx/Ag nanocomposite thin films could be substantially tuned by changing the components, even down to zero.

Facile solvothermal preparation of Fe3O4–Ag nanocomposite with excellent catalytic performance

“…Ag nanoparticles exhibit many original chemical, physical and catalytic properties as good metal conductors. 27 In recent years, self-assembled Ag composite materials have attracted the increasing attention of a large number of scientic researchers, including those in elds such as highperformance nanolms, 28 biosensors, 29 electroless copper plating 30 and catalytic materials. [31][32][33] Thus, in the present work, Ag nanoparticles were speculated to form a magnetic nanocomposite with Fe 3 O 4 particles, which could be expected not only to show good catalytic performance, but also reduce the loss of Ag nanoparticles and increase reusability.…”
