Ina similarmarmerto surface-enhanced Raman scattering, surface-enhancement of hyper-Raman scattering is a promising method to study adsorbed molecules on metal surfaces [24]. Based on recent developments in plasmonics, design and fabrication of metal substrates with high enhancement activities is now becoming possible [21]. Combination of the surface enhancement with the electronic resonances would also be helpful for the practical use of hyper-Raman spectroscopy. Development of enhanced hyper-Raman spectroscopy is awaited for the study of solid/liquid interfaces.

Vapor deposition techniques have been extensively studied for the fabrication of metal and metal oxide structures. Indeed, the first reported tungsten oxide nanorods were essentially grown by this method. This groundbreaking synthesis of W02.72 leaves room for improvement, however, as it requires a reaction temperature of 1600°C in an argon atmosphere. Additionally, the researchers found the reaction product to be commingling WO2.72 nanorods and WO3 platelets rather than pure nanorods. Later,... 

For reasons of corrosion in the vapor spaces and for ease of construction and cost, some floating cover designs have used nonferrous metals, primarily aluminum. Some designs have used encapsulated plastic flotation materials. These designs are generally considered more vulnerable to damage in a fire than those fabricated of metal components. API 650 and NFPA 30 classify these different designs as ...

We have overviewed some strategies for the surface-mediated fabrication of metal and alloy nanoscale wires and particles in mesoporous space, and their structural characterization and catalytic performances. Extension of the present approaches for metal/alloy nanowires may lead to the realization of the prospechve tailored design of super active, selective and stable catalysts applicable in industrial processes. The organometallic clusters and nanowires offer exciting and prospechve opportunities for the creahon of new catalysts for industry. Various metal/ alloy nanowires and nanoparhcles in the anisotropic arrangement in porous supports would help in understanding the unexpected electronic and optic properties due to the quantum effect, which are relevant to the rational design of advanced electronic and optic devices.
