An optimized protocol for induction and establishment of Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated hairy root cultures of Plumbago zeylanica L. was developed through selection of suitable explant type and the bacterial strain. The ...

We report a single step growth process of faceted Au nanoparticles (NPs) on highly c-axis oriented ZnO nanowires (NWs) and report that a system with a lower antireflection coefficient also showed higher surface enhanced ...

The evolution of electronic properties and correlation effects in manganese-based two- dimensional magnetic surface alloys are discussed. Enhanced correlations resulting from the reduced dimensionality of the surface alloys ...

Light induced biosynthesis of polycrystalline silver nanoparticles (SNPs) using the aqueous extract of a diatom Amphora-46 was studied. Rapid formation of stable SNPs was observed only on exposure of the reaction mixture ...

Lead selenide (PbSe) thin films were deposited using chemical bath deposition techniques by varying bath temperatures (70-90 degrees C) keeping deposition time and other parameters constant. The influence of the synthesis/bath ...
