  • Catalytic gold nano-particles 
    Cortie Michael; Van Der Lingen Elma (Institute of Materials Engineering Australasia Ltd, 2002)
    Although gold is the most inert of all metallic elements, it has interesting properties as a heterogeneous catalyst. There are a number of curious aspects to catalysis by gold that are currently attracting academic ...
  • Conduction, storage, and leakage in particle-on-SAM nanocapacitors 
    Zareie Hadi; Ekanayake Sobhath; Cortie Michael; Ford Michael (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2005)
    Individual gold nanoparticles exhibit discrete capacitances of the order of 1 aF, and they can be tethered to a conductive substrate using a bi-functional monolayer of a suitable organic molecule. However the conduction, ...
  • Hardness and colour trends across the 76 weight % Au section of the Au-Cu-Al system 
    Levey F; Cortie Michael; Cornish Lesley (Pergamon, 2002)
    Colour and hardness were measured on a series of alloys along the 76 wt.% Au line of the Au-Cu-Al system. Complex, non-monotonic behaviour was observed, which is shown to be correlated with microstructural changes. The ...
  • Investigation of the optical properties of hollow aluminium 'nano-caps' 
    Liu Jingquan; Mccredie Geoffrey; Ford Michael; Wieczorek Lech; Cortie Michael (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2005)
    A colloidal suspension of hollow aluminium, cap-shaped nanoparticles (‘nano-caps’) can be conveniently produced by evaporation of aluminium onto a spin-coated layer of polystyrene nanoparticles (PSNPs), followed by ...
  • Plasmon resonance and electric field amplification of crossed gold nanorods 
    Cortie Michael; Stokes Nicholas; Mcdonagh Andrew (Elsevier, 2009)
    Here we explore the unusual plasmon resonances of crossed gold nanorod structures of varying geometries. Using numerical simulations, we show that the resonances of simple rods are hybridized and blue-shifted in the composite ...
  • The preparation of a plasmonically resonant VO2 thermochromic pigment 
    Cortie Michael; Maaroof Abbas; Kealley Catherine; Bai H; Dowd Annette; Smith Geoffrey (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2009)
    Vanadium dioxide (VO2) undergoes a reversible metal-insulator transition, normally at similar to 68 degrees C. While the properties of continuous semi-transparent coatings of VO2 are well known, there is far less information ...
