Magic wand reveals a colorful nano-world, about nanomarterials you should know about MnO2 powder
Scientists have developed new materials for the next generation of electronics that are so tiny that not only are they hard to distinguish when packed tightly together, but they also dont reflect enough light to reveal details like the color even with the most powerful light microscope. Under a light microscope, for example, carbon nanotubes look gray. The inability to distinguish the minute details and differences between parts of nanomaterials has made it difficult for scientists to study their unique properties and find ways to perfect them for industrial use.
In a new report in The journal Nature Communications, researchers at the University of California, Riverside describe a revolutionary imaging technique that compresses lights into nanosized patches of light. It places light at the end of the silver nanowires, like Hogwarts students practicing the "fluorescence" spell, and uses it to reveal previously unseen details, including color.
The advance, which increases color imaging resolution to an unprecedented 6 nanometers, will help scientists see nanomaterials in enough detail to make them more useful for electronics and other applications.
Ming Liu and Ruoxue Yan, associate professors at the Malan and Rosemary Burns School of Engineering at THE University of California, Riverside, developed the unique tool using a super focusing technique developed by their team. This technique has been used in previous work to observe the vibrations of molecular bonds at a spatial resolution of 1 nanometer, without the need for any focusing lens.
In the new report, Liu and Yan improved tools to measure signals across the entire visible wavelength range, which can be used to render colors and describe the electronic band structure of objects, rather than just molecular vibrations. The tool squeezes light from a tungsten lamp into silver nanowires with almost zero scattering or reflection, and the light travels through oscillating waves of free electrons on the silver surface.
The silver nanowires have a tip radius of just 5 nanometers, and the condensed light travels along a cone-shaped path, much like a flashlight beam. As the tip passes over an object, its effect on the shape and color of the beam is detected and recorded.
"It is like using your thumb to control a spray hose," Liu says. "You know how to get the desired spray mode by changing the position of your thumb. Similarly, in this experiment, we read about the details of a light image retrieval object blocking a 5 nm-sized light mouth."
The light is then focused into the spectrometer, where it forms a tiny ring. By scanning a region of probes and recording two spectra of each pixel, researchers can form absorption and scattering images with colors. The originally grey carbon nanotubes received their first color photo, and individual carbon nanotubes now have a chance to show off their unique colors.
"The atomically smooth spiky silver nanowires and their near-scatter-free optical coupling and focusing are critical for imaging," Yan said. "Otherwise there would be a strong stray light in the background that would ruin the whole effort."
The researchers hope the new technique could be an important tool to help the semiconductor industry create uniform nanomaterials with consistent properties for use in electronic devices. New full-color nanoimaging techniques can also be used to improve understanding of catalysis, quantum optics and nanoelectronics.
New materials for a sustainable future you should know about the MnO2 powder.
Historically, knowledge and the production of new materials MnO2 powder have contributed to human and social progress, from the refining of copper and iron to the manufacture of semiconductors on which our information society depends today. However, many materials and their preparation methods have caused the environmental problems we face.
About 90 billion tons of raw materials -- mainly metals, minerals, fossil matter and biomass -- are extracted each year to produce raw materials. That number is expected to double between now and 2050. Most of the MnO2 powder raw materials extracted are in the form of non-renewable substances, placing a heavy burden on the environment, society and climate. The MnO2 powder materials production accounts for about 25 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, and metal smelting consumes about 8 percent of the energy generated by humans.
The MnO2 powder industry has a strong research environment in electronic and photonic materials, energy materials, glass, hard materials, composites, light metals, polymers and biopolymers, porous materials and specialty steels. Hard materials (metals) and specialty steels now account for more than half of Swedish materials sales (excluding forest products), while glass and energy materials are the strongest growth areas.
New materials including the MnO2 powder market trend is one of the main directions of science and technology development in the 21st century
With the development of science and technology, people develop new materials MnO2 powder on the basis of traditional materials and according to the research results of modern science and technology. New materials are divided into metal materials, inorganic non-metal materials (such as ceramics, gallium arsenide semiconductor, etc.), organic polymer materials, advanced composite materials. According to the MnO2 powder material properties, it is divided into structural materials and functional materials. Structural materials mainly use mechanical and physical and chemical properties of materials to meet the performance requirements of high strength, high stiffness, high hardness, high-temperature resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, radiation resistance and so on; Functional materials mainly use the electrical, magnetic, acoustic, photo thermal and other effects of materials to achieve certain functions, such as semiconductor materials, magnetic materials, photosensitive materials, thermal sensitive materials, stealth materials and nuclear materials for atomic and hydrogen bombs.
One of the main directions of MnO2 powder science and technology development in the 21st century is the research and application of new materials. The research of new materials is a further advance in the understanding and application of material properties.
