Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are considerably a new member of the carbon family and shine amongst other members, thanks to their superior electrochemical, optical, and structural properties as well as biocompatibility features that enable us to engage them in various bioengineering purposes. Especially, the quantum confinement and edge effects are giving GQDs their tremendous character, while their heteroatom doping attributes enable us to specifically and meritoriously tune their prospective characteristics for innumerable operations. Considering the substantial role offered by GQDs in the area of biomedicine and nanoscience, through this review paper, we primarily focus on their applications in bio-imaging, micro-supercapacitors, as well as in therapy development. The size-dependent aspects, functionalization, and particular utilization of the GQDs are discussed in detail with respect to their distinct nano-bio-technological applications.

AbstractThe structural properties of metallic nanowires prepared within the pores of nanoporous alumina membranes are investigated using EXAFS, XANES and High Energy X-Ray Diffraction (HED). Gold, silver, copper and iron nanowires show the same structure and atom-atom distances as the corresponding bulk metals. The structural properties of these metals do not change if the wire diameter is varied. Cobalt nanowires, however, show a size dependent mixture of fcc and hcp phases. The amount of fcc-Co, which in the bulk is only known as a high temperature modification, increases with decreasing wire diameter. This leads to interesting changes in the magnetic properties of Co nanowires.

TiAl-based alloys are promising light weight structural materials for high temperature applications in the field of aerospace. Recently, fabrication technologies starting from powders including powder metallurgy and additive manufacturing have been developed to overcome the difficulties in the processing, machining and shaping of TiAl-based alloys. Spherical alloy powders with different particle size distributions are usually used in these fabrication techniques. The purpose of this study is to reveal the size-dependent structural properties of a high-Nb TiAl powder for these fabrication technologies starting from powders. A high-Nb TiAl pre-alloyed powder with nominal composition of Ti-48Al-2Cr-8Nb (at. %) was prepared by the electrode induction melting gas atomization (EIGA) method. The phase structure and morphology of the as-atomized powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The size-dependent structural changes of the as-atomized powders with different sizes were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and in situ high temperature XRD. It was found that with decreasing the powder size, the content of the γ-TiAl phase decreases and the α2-Ti3Al phase increases. The α2-Ti3Al to γ-TiAl phase transformation was found in the temperature range of 600–770 °C. Based on the present work, the structural characteristics of TiAl powders are strongly dependent on their particle size, which should be considered in optimizing the process parameters of TiAl alloys fabricated from powders.
