We propose the scheme for the formation of nanotriangular structures wherein the preliminary spherical nanocrystallites are formed due to the low surface energy associated with them. These spherical nanocrystallites grow into the various linear intermediate shapes like Y, bi and tripods, which finally lead to the triangles, pyramids and bipyramids. Such variation in the structure occurs due to the structure directing pentaerythritol. These polycrystalline SnO2 nanomaterials with structural peculiarities were tested for the gas sensing characteristics. Their response towards ethanol vapor, H-2 and LPG were investigated. It was found to exhibit high response towards ethanol vapors at the operating temperature of 250 degrees C. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Precursors such as zinc acetate, indium chloride with Brij-35 (polyoxyethylene lauryl ether) as a non-ionic surfactant were used. The morphology, crystal structure, elemental analysis and the gas response properties were investigated by using SEM, TEM, XRD, AFM and XPS techniques. The films show hexagonal wurtzite structure which reveal variations in (100). (00 2) and (10 1) intensities with indium doping. The crystallite size calculated by Scherrer formula was in the range of 30-50 nm. The SEM and AFM analysis show 50-70 nm sized grains, while the TEM confirms formation of grains by similar to 10nm sized particles. Their response towards various gases was measured at different operating temperatures and different levels of In-dopants. The 3 at% In-doped ZnO showed response as high as 13,000 for 1000ppm H(2)S at 250 degrees C. It exhibited fast response (similar to 2s) and recovery time (similar to 4 min). The gas response strongly depends on the morphology and indium concentration. The high gas response of IZO is explained on the basis of thickness dependent trap state density. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

The individual nanorod has 8-10 nm diameter and similar to 50 nm length. The as-prepared nanostructured alpha-Fe2O3 (sensor) gives selective response towards humidity. The sensor shows high sensitivity, fast linear response to change in the humidity with almost 100% reproducibility. The sensor works at room temperature and rejuvenates without heat treatment. The as-prepared nanostructured alpha-Fe2O3 appears to be a promising humidity sensing material with the potential for commercialization. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

It is observed that on aluminium doping the particle size of ZnO reduces significantly; moreover, uniformity of particle also gets enhanced.

The gas response studies of; similar to 800 nm thick Al-doped ZnO films at different operating temperatures show that 5 at% Al-doped ZnO thin film exhibits highest response towards H(2)S gas at 200 degrees C.

The photo-sensitive field emission current shows a reproducible switching behavior, with a rise in current level of nearly five times the initial preset value of similar to 1 mu A. An ultra low turn-on field, required to draw an emission current density of similar to 0.1 mu A cm(-2) (100 nA), is found to be similar to 0.26 V mu m(-1) (260 V), which is much lower than the reported values for various other CdS nanostructures. Upon illumination with visible light the CdS nanocombs act as a photo field emission switch. At an applied field of similar to 0.65 V mu m(-1) the current densities are observed to be similar to 14.6 mu A cm(-2) and similar to 26.9 mu A cm(-2), without and with light illumination, respectively. The average emission current is seen to be stable over the duration of measurement for two preset values.

	We report synthesis of Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and hybrid nanocomposites namely, CNF-Sn and C-Sn microspheres using simple electrospinning technique, followed by annealing in controlled atmosphere. The as-prepared materials were characterized using X-raydiffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), and Raman spectroscopy to reveal their physico-chemical properties. As carbon family members are potential materials for field emission (FE) based applications, owing to their high aspect ratio FE characteristics of the synthesized materials were explored at base pressure of 1 x 10(-8) mbar. Interestingly, the hybrid nanocomposite CNF-Sn and C-Sn emitters showed improved FE behavior (with the turn-on field of 3.4 and 1.36 V/mu m, respectively) in contrast to the pristine CNFs emitter (turn-on field of 5.4 V/mu m). Furthermore, the maximum emission current density is substantially enhanced, 7.75 and 4.6 mA/cm(2) for CNF-Sn and C-Sn emitters, respectively. The improvement in the FE behavior of nanocomposite emitters is attributed to the combined effect of morphology and modulation of electronic properties at the interface of nanocomposites. The results confirm that FE characteristics of pristine nanostructures can be greatly improved upon formation of their nanocomposites and this approach can be extended to other nanostructures for improving their multi-functionalities.
