	abstract = {<p>In the present study we report a simple and convenient chemical route using pentaerythritol as a structure-directing agent for the synthesis of crystalline nanotriangular SnO2. We propose the scheme for the formation of nanotriangular structures wherein the preliminary spherical nanocrystallites are formed due to the low surface energy associated with them. These spherical nanocrystallites grow into the various linear intermediate shapes like Y, bi and tripods, which finally lead to the triangles, pyramids and bipyramids. Such variation in the structure occurs due to the structure directing pentaerythritol. These polycrystalline SnO2 nanomaterials with structural peculiarities were tested for the gas sensing characteristics. Their response towards ethanol vapor, H-2 and LPG were investigated. It was found to exhibit high response towards ethanol vapors at the operating temperature of 250 degrees C. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Nickel selenide thin films have been deposited using chemical bath method on non-conducting glass substrates in a tartarate bath containing nickel sulphate octahydrate, hydrazine hydrate, sodium seleno-sulphate in an aqueous alkaline medium. The grown films were uniform, well adherent and black in color. The films were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, optical absorption and electrical measurements. The nickel selenide thin film revealed polycrystalline nature with hexagonal system. The direct optical band gap of the film was found to be 1.61 eV. Electrical resistivity of film was observed in the order of 10(3) (Omega cm) with p-type conduction mechanism. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},
