Abstract
Nanowire is a cylindrical nano-structure with nanometer dimensions. In this research, the studied nanowire was made from the magnetic triple Ni-Fe-Co alloy.
We utilized ordered porous anodic aluminum oxide as a template for the nanowire deposition. The nanowire arrays were electrodeposited in the cylindrical pores of the oxide layer by AC potential in a simple sulfate bath. Then the relation of shape and composition of the nanowires with their fabrication parameters was investigated. The results showed that the barrier layer modification had an essential role in the deposition process and a composition gradient was detected in a single nanowire.

Abstract
In this work, NiCu and CoCu alloy nanowires were prepared by electrodeposition within nuclear track-etched polycarbonate membranes with the nominal diameter of 30nm. Electrodeposition was carried out under potentiostatic control with three electrodes. In order to grow CoCu nanowires and NiCu nanowires, an electrolyte containing salts of Co and Cu, and an electrolyte containing the salts of Ni and Cu were used respectively. Then, the potentiodynamic behavior of each electrolyte was investigated by its CV curves, and the optimum potentials for the deposition of Ni, Co and Cu were selected according to these curves. A TEM microscope was used to study the structure of the nanowires. The results showed that the crystalline growth is polycrystalline and the diameter of the wires is about 80 nm. Apart from that, some nanowires were deposited under different deposition voltages. EDX analysis showed that the atomic weight of Ni and Co in all samples vanishes in the potentials between -0.5V to -0.8V which indicates that pure Cu atoms are deposited at these voltages. Deposition of Ni and Co starts at more negative voltages such as -0.9 and -0.85 V, respectively.

Abstract
In this study, effect of potential on composition and depth profiles of passive films formed on 316L stainless steel in 0.05 M sulfuric acid has been examined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). For passive film formation within the passive region, four potentials -0.2, 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8 VSCE were chosen and films were gown at each potential for 60 min. XPS analysis results showed that atomic concentration of Cr and Fe initially increase (E < 0.5 VSCE) and then decrease with potential. This decrease is due to surface dissolution of the Fe and Cr oxides. For both alloying elements, Ni and Mo, no obvious change in atomic concentration was showed. Results indicated that at higher potentials, before entering transpassive region, oxidation of Cr3+ to Cr6+ is happened.

Abstract
In this article, the electronic and optical properties of bulk TiC and its narrow nanowires were investigated using Quantum-Espresso/PWSCF computational package in the framework of density functional theory. According to the results, this compound showed a metallic behavior in the bulk structure, but the small diameters of the nanowires against the bulk structure showed a semiconducting behavior. This deviation became negligible at the higher diameters. In both structures, the electronic results were compatible with the optical calculations of the structure under consideration. Considering the optical results, the structure of bulk TiC had the maximum amount of refractive index value and this amount could be decreased by a reduction in the nanowire diameters. Also, the optical results indicated that by increasing the size of nanowires, the ELLOS value was raised toward the corresponding bulk value

Abstract
Manganese ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) have different applications, especially in medical diagnosis and treatment as well as the biomolecule separation,. In this research, the effects of various parameters such as the pH of reaction solution and the hydrothermal process duration on the synthesis of spinel phase in NPs were evaluated. Crystal structure, chemical composition, morphology and size of synthesized particles were investigated by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The XRD results showed that the process duration of 12 h and pH=11 were suitable for the formation of monophase manganese ferrite NPs. The FE-SEM investigations showed that the average size of the synthesized NPs was about 50 nm. Moreover, the EDS analysis showed the presence of about 20% of manganese in the NPs structure. Hydrothermally synthesized manganese ferrite NPs in this researchcould be, therefore, a good candidate for the biomedical application due to their small size and narrow size distribution.
