Hydrothermal processing of materials: past, present and future
TLDR
An overview of the past, present and future perspective of hydrothermal technology as a tool to fabricate advanced materials has been given with appropriate examples in this article, where some recent developments in multi-energy processing of materials are discussed.Abstract:
The hydrothermal technique provides an excellent possibility for processing of advanced materials whether it is bulk single crystals, or fine particles, or nanoparticles. The advantages of hydrothermal technology have been discussed in comparison with the conventional methods of materials processing. The current trends in hydrothermal materials processing has been described in relation to the concept of soft solution processing, as a single-step low energy consuming fabrication technique. Also some recent developments in multi-energy processing of materials such as microwave-hydrothermal, mechanochemical-hydrothermal, electrochemical-hydrothermal, sonar-hydrothermal, etc. have been discussed. An overview of the past, present and future perspective of hydrothermal technology as a tool to fabricate advanced materials has been given with appropriate examples.read more

The Bakerian Lecture: Experimental Relations of Gold (and Other Metals) to Light
TL;DR: The undulatory theory of light, with the phenomena for which it strives to account, seems to me, who am only an experimentalist, to stand midway between what we may conceive to be the coarser mechanical actions of matter, with their explanatory philosophy, and that other branch which includes, or should include, the physical idea of forces acting at a distance as mentioned in this paper.

Quantum size effect in semiconductor microcrystals
TL;DR: In this paper, a growth technique of the semiconductor microcrystals in a glassy dielectric matrix has been developed, which permits to vary the size of the grown microcrystal in a controlled manner from some tens to thousands of angstroms.
