	abstract = {<p>We report facile synthesis of MoS2 nanoparticles and h-BN nanosheets using ultrasonication method in suitable solvents such as N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone and ethylene glycol, respectively. The average size of MoS2 nanoparticles observed from TEM analysis were 4-5 nm and about a few hundreds of nm for h-BN nanosheets. Raman spectroscopy carried out on nanoparticle samples confirms the formation of MoS2 nanoparticles and h-BN nanosheets. UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) measurements carried out on the products show typical absorption and luminescence spectra of MoS2 and h-BN. Further, we attempted to decorate gold nanoparticles on nanosheets of MoS2 and h-BN which show subsequent change in Raman spectra due to charge transfer interaction.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Electron emission properties of electrodeposited spinel NiCo2O4 nanosheet arrays grown on Ni foam have been studied. The work function of NiCo2O4 was calculated by density functional theory using the plane-wave basis set and used to estimate the field enhancement factor. The NiCo2O4 nanosheet arrays exhibited a low turn-on field of 1.86 V mu m(-1) at 1 mu A cm(-2) and current density of 686 mu A cm(-2) at 3.2 V mu m(-1), with field enhancement factor beta = 1460 and good field emission current stability. The field emission properties of the NiCo2O4 nanosheet arrays showed enhanced performance compared to chemically prepared NiCo2O4 nanosheets. Hence, the nanosheet arrays have great potential as robust high performance vertical structure electron emitters for future flat panel displays and vacuum electronic device applications.</p>},
