      Da Silva, Luis F.; Catto, Ariadne C.; Avansi, Waldir; Cavalcante, Laécio Santos; Mastelaro, Valmor Roberto; Andres, Juan; Aguir, Khalifa; Longo, Elson Elsevier (2016)
      This manuscript addresses the synthesis of one-dimensional (1D) α-Ag2WO4 nanorod-like structures via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method to be used as an acetone gas sensor. The nanorods showed excellent gas-sensing ...
    • openAccess   Correlation in narrow nanorods: a variational potential–configuration interaction scheme 

      Planelles, Josep; Climente, Juan I.; Royo Valls, Miguel; Movilla, Jose L. Institute of Physics (2009)
      Abstract. Full configuration interaction calculations of two electrons in narrow semiconductor nanorods are carried out employing different orbital basis sets. It is shown that the usual configurations built from ...
    • openAccess   Dielectric confinement of excitons in type-I and type-II semiconductor nanorods 

      Royo Valls, Miguel; Climente, Juan I.; Movilla, Jose L.; Planelles, Josep Institute of Physics (2011-01-12)
      We theoretically study the effect of the dielectric environment on the exciton ground state of CdSe and CdTe/CdSe/CdTe nanorods. We show that insulating environments enhance the exciton recombination rate and blueshift the ...
