Gold nanostars, generally known to be multibranched gold nanoparticles, have emerged as a new class of nanoscale gold crystals with multiple sharp branches. Gold nanostars possess tunable plasmon bands in near infrared (NIR) region containing star-shaped morphology serving like lightning rods responsible for enhancing the local electromagnetic field. Gold nanostars have been drawing considerable attention mainly due to the unique optical properties with applications in various areas of sc …

Titanium carbide represents a transitional metal carbide with a melting point of about 3100°C, a hardness as much as 28 to 35 GPa (based on Vickers test) and the electrical conductivity as 450 GPa has a high chemical conductivity and high thermal shock resistance. Titanium carbide is originally an extremely hard refractory ceramic material looking like a black powder. Ti is also a wear and corrosion resistant inert and hard material. Titanium carbide occurs as a very rare mineral nat …
