• Scientists Use Lasers and Gold Particles to Turn Titanium Oxide Into Nanocomposite for Photocatalysts

  Oxides of different metals often serve as photocatalysts in various systems such as air purification, reactions of water decomposition and even in the production of self-cleaning surfaces for glass and mirrors. The physical-chemical properties of such materials can be improved by adding nanoparticles, which turn an ordinary oxide into a nanomaterial with new capabilities. To successfully perform this, however, it is necessary to understand the processes going on as a nanocomposite is being formed, and to be able to control them. ITMO University researchers together with their colleagues from France and the USA have demonstrated how a femtosecond laser can be used to tune the structure and nanocomposite properties for titanium dioxide films filled with gold nanoparticles. The paper was published in ACS The Journal of Physical Chemistry C.

• Beginner’s Guide to Submitting Your Research to Scopus and Web of Science Journals

  Scopus and Web of Science are the two largest databases that collect data from top scientific journals. Today, publications in journals indexed by these two systems and the number of references to these works in other authors’ papers are key indicators of a scientist’s activity and reputation. But researchers who are submitting their work to such journals for the first time have to deal with a number of challenges, such as finding the right outlet, properly formatting their article, and so on. ITMO.NEWS asked Valentin Milichko, the winner of Scopus Award Russia 2018 and researcher at ITMO University’s Faculty of Physics and Engineering, and George Zograf, a PhD student at the same Faculty, to compile a guide to submitting your article to Scopus- and WoS-indexed journals.

• Academic Writing at ITMO University

  How to write a scientific article in English? What’s the difference between texts published in Russia and those published in major international journals? And what are the basics of academic writing that every scientist needs to know? Inna Anokhina, head of ITMO’s Academic Writing Lab, believes that most young researchers make a similar mistake when preparing their articles for publication in international journals: all they do is simply translate their articles from Russian into English. The laboratory offers free courses and workshops, as well as individual consultations that can help you prepare your articles for publishing in international journals. Learn more about the laboratory and the opportunities it offers in an article by ITMO.NEWS.
