My Scientific Journey in Nanotechnology

Hardev Singh

Abstract


This article is a historical review of my encounter with Nanotechnology in DAVIET, Jalandhar. The methodology used for fabrication of nanowires and nanoflowers is briefly discussed. A passing reference is made to the contribution of my collaborators. The article is illustrated with images of nanoflowers and copper nanocrystals obtained as a by product of nanowires. The list of our publications in the area of nanotechnology is given at the end.

 


Keywords


Nanowires, Nanocrystals, Nanoflowers, Anodic alumina and polymer templates
