Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUnderstanding Material Deformation in Nanoimprint of Gold using Molecular Dynamics SimulationsAbhaysinh Gaikwad, Salil DesaiMaterial deformation in nanoimprinting is explored through Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Understanding the behavior of substrate material during the nanoimprinting process is imperative for high resolution nanoscale pattern transfer. Nanoimprinting of the gold has the potential to make significant impact in diverse areas such as microelectronics and biomedical research. The deformation of gold during nanoimprinting is studied for varying depths … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 24 May 2018 · 8,710 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMapping, Characterization and Dispersion of Metallic Pollutants within a Catchment of Illegal Gold Mining Activities in GhanaWiafe Samuel, Richard Buamah, Helen Essandoh, Lawrence DarkwahThe illegal gold mining activities prevalent in most part of Ghana have caused substantial havoc to the environment especially water bodies which serve as sources of water for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes. The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) recently shut down their water treatment plant due to the extreme pollution and high cost of treatment. This study focusses on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2018 · 8,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleQuantum Mechanical Calculation of the Optical Absorption of Silver and Gold Nanoparticles by Density Functional TheoryElham Gharibshahi, Elias SaionProblem statement: Metal nanoparticles confine the motion of conduction electrons and exhibit a strong optical absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the UV-vis-NIR region. The absorption is classically derived from the collective oscillations of free electrons in a metallic nanostructure as a consequence of incident electromagnetic radiation polarizing the particle optically embedded in a dielectric matrix. These oscillations, known as the … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 16,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMolluscicidal Activity of Ethanolic Dieffenbachia seguine (Dumb Cane) Leaf Extract Against Pomacea canaliculata (Golden Apple Snail)Alfredo V. Corpuz, Carmela M. Florentino, Ace Danielle C. Avero, Sherwin V. AlvaroThe golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata), an invasive species that originated in South America, has caused significant damage to rice plantations in Southeast Asia, notably the Philippines. Because of its voracious appetite for aquatic vegetation and quick reproduction rate, it poses a significant agricultural problem. Conventional control approaches, which mostly use chemical molluscicides, have increased environmental issues and threats to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 14 Sep 2026 · 846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSynthesis of Gold (Au) Nanoparticles for Mercury AdsorptionKhairul Sozana Nor Kamarudin, Mawarni Fazliana MohamadProblem statement: Mercury is not only hazardous to human health and the environment but could also attack equipment components resulting in a mechanical failure and gas leakage. Approach: Describes the preparation of various sizes and shapes of Au nanoparticles for mercury adsorption by using polyol method under MW heating. Au nanoparticles have been synthesized by a polyol method under Microwave … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,081 accessesView PDFCite
