• composite materials capable of spontaneous ordering are interesting due to the fact that their properties are determined by the interactions between the embedded nanoparticles and the carrier matrix. The properties of LC mixtures with nanoparticles substantially depend on the material of the particles

• nanoparticles over most of the sample analysis depth (60 frames) is due to the lack of topography information in the traditional NanoSIMS 3D reconstruction. From Figure 5d it can be deduced, that due to the variation in sputtering rate between the embedded nanoparticles and the polymer matrix, the initially

• AFM offers two additional channels for compositional contrast. The value of A03 has been used modulate the indentation while imaging embedded nanoparticles in a soft polymer [23]. To understand some of the fundamental aspects of trimodal AFM and the differences with respect to bimodal AM we study the

So far, nanoparticles-filled polymers or glass fibres have been reported [18][19]. No reports exist on integrating nanoparticles into single-crystal nanorods. By sealing functional

• study the morphologies of ZnO nanorods and embedded nanoparticles. For micro-PL measurement, ZnO nanorod arrays were crushed against a bare Si, to produce fractured nanorods lying on the surface. A micro-Raman/PL spectrometer (Renishaw inVia) with 532 nm laser was employed to study the PL of single ZnO
