• containing Zn(NO3), Co(NO3), nitric acid, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as an additive, 300 nm diameter Zn1−xCoxO nanowires with x ranging from 0.01 to 0.05 were grown [94]. The synthesis and properties of semiconducting CdTe and CdS nanowires are being investigated for their potential in photodetector and

• ) membrane filters, exposed in a very controlled way to charged particles in a nuclear reactor, were obtained from Whatman/GE™ and comparable companies. Because the surface of the commercial membrane filters was treated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), an additional etching process was used to remove the PVP

• the PS- and hydrophilicity of PVP-block, the co-polymers form reverse spherical micelles in apolar solvents such as the solvent used here, i.e., toluene. Empirically, however, in order to obtain stable spherical micelles, the block length of PS, x, should be significantly larger than the PVP length y
