Research Highlights
  • Developed a novel Exploding wire technique (EWT) based novel method to synthesize pure single-phase cupric oxide (CuO) nanoparticles.
  • Reported highest magnetodielectric ratio (MDR) of 2.5 at 1.3 T, 140 K and 12 kHz for CuO nanoparticles prepared via EWT.
  • Demonstrated the change of semiconducting behavior: degenerate p++ type Cu2O/CuO nanoparticles to non-degenerate p-type CuO nanoparticles.
  • Dopant concentration driven change of nanoparticles respectively into nano-rods, nano-cones, and nano-sheets: Evidences and providing a model of shapes transformation.
  • Established water-induced stabilization of ZnS and CdS nanoparticles prepared through EWT based novel synthesis method-suitable for water/moisture sensing application in nanostructures.
  • Realized a single electron transistor based nanoresistor: established its device suitability owing to low power dissipation.
  • Our novel findings depicting the positive effect of ZnO NP on in-vitro growth kinetics and bacoside A production in Bacopa monnieri (Brahmi plant).
