Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication, characterization and mode locking application of single-walled carbon nanotube/polymer composite saturable absorbers
Fengqiu Wang,Aleksey Rozhin,Zhipei Sun,Vittorio Scardaci,Richard V. Penty,Ian H. White,Andrea C. Ferrari +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite film was used as a mode-locker in an Er3+ fiber ring laser.
Journal ArticleDOI
Raman Spectroscopy Investigation of Graphene Oxide Reduction by Laser Scribing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate laser reduction of GO under a range of processing and material parameters, such as laser scan speed, number of laser passes, and material coverage, and demonstrate that laser scan speeds are the most influential parameter, as a slower scan speed yields poor GO reduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering of 4-Aminobenzenethiol on Au Nanorod Ordered Arrays
Alfonso Martín,Andrea Pescaglini,Carola Schopf,Vittorio Scardaci,Richard Coull,Lorraine Byrne,Daniela Iacopino +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a droplet evaporation/stamping method was employed to fabricate closely packed arrays of Au nanorods aligned parallel or perpendicular to a support, for which enhanced signals where obtained compared to the signals of the bulk molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma restructuring of catalysts for chemical vapor deposition of carbon nanotubes
Mirco Cantoro,Stephan Hofmann,Cecilia Mattevi,Simone Pisana,A. Parvez,A. Fasoli,Caterina Ducati,Vittorio Scardaci,Andrea C. Ferrari,John Robertson +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the growth of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers by catalytic chemical vapor deposition at lower temperatures is aided by a separate catalyst pretreatment step in which the catalyst thin film is restructured into a series of nanoparticles with a more active surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hysteresis suppression in self-assembled single-wall nanotube field effect transistors
PingAn Hu,Can Zhang,A. Fasoli,Vittorio Scardaci,Simone Pisana,Tawfique Hasan,John Robertson,William I. Milne,Andrea C. Ferrari +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a technique for hysteresis suppression in single-wall nanotube field effect transistors (SWNT-FETs) using chemical functionalization is presented.
