The residual n-type conductivity of O-polar hydrothermally grown ZnO single crystals and the role of annealing on the transport properties are assessed by temperature dependent Hall measurements on a wide 20–800 K temperature range. A deep level lying 250 meV below the conduction band is responsible for the residual n…

Concerns for the environmental and economic impact of organic solvents and detergents in gold nanoparticle (AuNP) solution synthesis have motivated the search for more environmentally benign alternatives. One approach is to synthesize AuNPs from tetrachloroauric(III) acid (HAuCl 4 ) using triblock copolymers (TBPs). H…

A novel strategy to graft functional groups at the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is discussed. Aiming at grafting nitrogen containing groups, and more specifically primary amine covalent functionalization, CNTs were exposed under atomic nitrogen flow arising from an Ar + N2 microwave plasma. The primary amine fun…

To understand the mechanism of bias-induced resistance switching observed in polypyrrole (PPy) based solid state junctions, in situ UV-vis absorption spectroscopy was employed to monitor oxidation states within PPy layers in solution and in PPy/metal oxide junctions. For PPy layers in acetonitrile, oxidation led prima…

We demonstrate here the tailoring of electro-optical properties of ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCs) by doping different concentrations of Selenium Docosane (SD) capped palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs). The operating voltage is lowered by ∼50% in doped FLC as compared to undoped one. The remarkable increment in opti…

Dielectric, magnetic, and magnetodielectric properties of Y3Fe5−xTixO12+x/2 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2) ceramics were investigated. Ti substitution induces a low temperature dielectric relaxation which comes from the charge carrier hopping between Ti3+ and Ti4+. The Maxwell-Wagner effect related dielectric relaxation becomes we…

The compressional and shear wave velocities of seven series of hydrous aluminosilicate glasses were measured by Brillouin scattering at room temperature and pressure as a function of water content. The glasses were quenched from high temperature and 0.2 or 0.3 GPa pressure. The dry end-members range from highly polyme…

The interfacial energy due to elastic micro-strains at the austenite–twinned martensite interface is calculated for the NiTi shape memory alloy undergoing cubic-to-monoclinic B2 ↔ B19' transformation. For each crystallographically distinct microstructure, an energetically favourable local shape of the interface is det…

An ultra-thin hexagonal microwave metamaterial absorber is described. It can absorb any polarized transverse electromagnetic wave because of its hexagonal shape. In spite of its very thin structure, almost 0.028λg, the absorber achieved 99% absorptivity at 11.35 GHz in experimental results because of the increased cou…
