摘要:
Alterations utilizing nanoparticles. Certain embodiments of the invention are methods of delivering a substance to a target using a delivery-aid which includes nanoparticles. Those nanoparticles may be nanocarbon particles. Other embodiments are methods of delivering nanoparticles to a target involving placing a mask between a source of ballistic delivery of nanoparticles and the target. Other embodiments include irradiating a target to cause localized heating of the region of the target in which the nanodiamonds or OLC particles are present. Other embodiments utilize nanoparticles to make cells competent for genetic transformation. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

摘要:
A semiconductor structure consistent with certain implementations has a crystalline substrate oriented with a {111} plane surface that is within 10 degrees of surface normal. An epitaxially grown electrically insulating interlayer overlays the crystalline substrate and establishes a coincident lattice that mates with the surface symmetry of the {111} plane surface. An atomically stable two dimensional crystalline film resides on the epitaxial insulating layer with a coincident lattice match to the insulating interlayer. Methods of fabrication are disclosed. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
摘要:
A field emitter device consistent with certain embodiments has a substantially planar conductor forming a gate electrode. A conductive stripe forms a cathode on the insulating layer. An insulating layer covers at least a portion of the surface between the cathode and the gate. An anode is positioned above the cathode. An emitter structure, for example of carbon nanotubes is disposed on a surface of the cathodes closest to the anode. When an electric field is generated across the insulating layer, the cathode/emitter structure has a combination of work function and aspect ratio that causes electron emission from the emitter structure toward the anode at a field strength that is lower than that which causes emissions from other regions of the cathode. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

A dispersion preparation provides transmission attenuation of ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B and ultraviolet C light comprises a dispersion of an effective amount of diamond nanoparticles in a physiologically compatible medium, where the diamond nanoparticles have a size greater than about 60 nm and are modified to enhance absorption of UV radiation. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
摘要:
Photoluminescent nanodiamond particles of dynamic synthesis have enhanced photoluminescent properties produced as a result of minimizing the nitrogen content of impurities or imperfections in the nanodiamond lattice and by location of photoluminescent structures on the outer surface of the nanodiamond particles. This inhibits suppression (i.e. inactivity) of emission and enhances the intensity of the emission. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

Polymer nanocomposites with improved resistance to high energy ionizing radiation. Certain embodiments involve methods for providing a nanocomposite material with resistance to high energy ionizing radiation using nanodiamond, zinc oxide and mixtures of these nanoparticles with other nanoparticles dispersed within the matrix. Other embodiments relate to methods of delivering and dispersing the nanoparticles through the material or a surface layer. Other embodiments include methods of forming chemical bonds between the nanoparticles and the material. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
摘要:
A method of generating a glow discharge plasma involves providing a pair of electrodes spaced apart by an electrode gap, and having a dielectric disposed in the electrode gap between the electrodes; placing the electrodes within an environment, wherein the electrode gap can be provided with a gas or gas mixture containing carbon at a specified pressure; and applying a rapid rise time voltage pulse across the electrodes to cause an extreme overvoltage condition, wherein the rapid rise time is less than a plasma generation time so that the extreme overvoltage condition occurs prior to current flow across the electrode gap. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
