Lutetium coating of nanoparticles by atomic layer deposition

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a versatile gas phase coating technique that allows coating of complex structured materials, as well as high-surface area materials such as nanoparticles. In this work, ALD is used to deposit a lutetium oxide layer on TiO₂ nanoparticles (P25) in a fluidized bed reactor to produce particles for...

Thermal atomic layer deposition of gold nanoparticles: Controlled growth and size selection for photocatalysis

Gold nanoparticles have been extensively studied for their applications in catalysis. For Au nanoparticles to be catalytically active, controlling the particle size is crucial. Here we present a low temperature (105 °C) thermal atomic layer deposition approach for depositing gold nanoparticles on TiO₂ with controlled size and...

Housing Humanity, Building Locality: Endemic habitation practices driving the reconstruction of a coherent urban locality

The effects of India’s shift towards economic liberalisation, globalisation and privatisation in the mid 1990’s has drastically altered the landscape of its cities. These powerful forces have imposed further spatial disjuncture on an unplanned city. More specifically, forces of contemporary urbanisation plague the developing fabric of Mumbai’s...
