A team of McMaster’s materials researchers including S. Prabhudev, M. Bugnet and Prof. G. Botton published an article in the trending materials journal ACS Nano, introducing the newest nanocatalyst member to Pt-Fe system with an intermetallic core-shell (IMCS) nanoarchitecture. These catalysts were found to exhibit the highest activity and catalytic durability compared to all other Pt-Fe systems reported thus far. Upon characterizing this new material using McMaster’s massive electron microscope atom-by-atom the team-MSE attributes observed enhancement in catalyst performance to a strained lattice and persistent atomic-order. Their work that was carried out in collaboration with Dr. C. Bock at NRC-Ottawa was featured under Nanowerk’s Spotlight, available to here |

Plasmonics with "nano-hockey sticks" David Rossouw and Gianluigi Botton observe the lowest excitation modes at the highest spatial resolution ever reported in plasmonic nanomaterials using electron energy loss spectroscopy. The MSE team used the high resolution electron microscopes at the Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy (http://ccem.mcmaster.ca ) to measure the spatial distribution of excitation modes in plasmonic waveguides and observe new phenomena of light propagation in Ag nanostructures around sharp bends and kinks. This publication (http://prl.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v110/i6/e066801) appeared in the prestigious journal Physical Review Letters this week. Very appropriately for Canada, some of the nanostructures used to demonstrate these effects have the shape of ice hockey sticks! |
