Mass and density determination of porous nanoparticle films using a quartz crystal microbalance

A method is presented to directly measure the mass output of an impaction printer coupled with a spark ablation generator. It is based on a quartz crystal microbalance and shown to be reliable in quantifying mass deposition rate. Here, the method is demonstrated with an Au nanoparticle aerosol synthesized under several spark ablation and...

Towards multi-functional SiO₂ @YAG: Ce core–shell optical nanoparticles for solid state lighting applications

This paper aims to investigate the synthesis, structure, and optical properties of SiO₂ @YAG:Ce core–shell optical nanoparticles for solid state lighting applications. YAG:Ce phosphor is a key part in white light emitting diodes (LEDs), with its main functionality being the generation of yellow light. Generated yellow light from...
