A precise control over the internal architecture was essential for manufacture of complex organs. To create vascular systems that mimic human livers, we designed and fabricated complex 3D objects with an intrinsic network of interconnected channels. A new elastomeric polyurethane, mainly based on polycaprolactone and…

A tunable isotropic negative effective permeability is experimentally demonstrated in a three-dimensional (3D) dielectric composite consisting of dielectric ceramic cube arrays by temperature changing. It shows that a strong subwavelength magnetic resonance can be excited in dielectric cubes corresponding to the first…

The magnetoelectric (ME) coupling of a bilayered Ni–lead zirconate titanate composite structure synthesized by electrodeposition was studied in this paper. The ME voltage coefficient was measured in the range of 1–120kHz as the bias field is parallel to the axial. The results indicate that an electromechanical resonan…

Abstract Atomic layer deposition (ALD) was used to apply conformal, nanothick ZnO coatings on particle substrates using a fluidized bed reactor. Diethylzinc (DEZ) and water were used as precursors at 177 °C. Observed growth rates were ca. 2.0 Å/cycle on primary particles as verified by HRTEM. ICP‐AES and XPS were used…

Highly transparent 8 mol% Y 2 O 3 –ZrO 2 (8Y) ceramics were fabricated by the hot isostatic pressing method. The transmission in a visible light region was comparable to that of a single crystal. In this work, the microstructural relationship between presintered and hot isostatic‐pressed material was examined. The tra…

Resonant photoemission at the Ti 2p and O 1s edges on a Nb-doped SrTiO(3) thin film revealed that the coherent state (CS) at the Fermi level (E(F)) had a mainly Ti 3d character whereas the incoherent in-gap state (IGS) positioned approximately 1.5 eV below E(F) had a mixed character of Ti 3d and O 2p states. This indi…

High-density, uniform diamond nanopillar arrays were fabricated by employing bias-assisted reactive ion etching in a hydrogen/argon plasma. Gold nanodots were employed as etching masks. The formation of nanopillar structure is associated with the directional physical etching/sputtering by ion bombardment and selective…

We report on an investigation of spin-polarized secondary electron emission from the chemically inert system: graphene/Ni(111). An ordered passivation graphene layer (monolayer of graphite) was formed on Ni(111) surface via cracking of propylene gas. The spin polarization of secondary electrons obtained from this syst…

$Ni Cl_2$-$4SC(NH_2)_2$ (known as DTN) is a spin-1 material with a strong single-ion anisotropy that is regarded as a new candidate for Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of spin degrees of freedom. We present a systematic study of the low-energy excitation spectrum of DTN in the field-induced magnetically ordered phase…

During the course of atomic transport in a host material, impurity atoms need to surmount an energy barrier driven by thermodynamic bias or at ultra-low temperatures by quantum tunneling. In the present article we demonstrate using atomistic simulations that at ultra-low temperature transient inter-layer atomic transp…

The recently observed multiferroic behavior in the s =1/2 chain cuprate LiVCuO 4 (≡LiCuVO 4 ) with edge-shared CuO 4 plaquettes and helical spin ordering does not agree with the existing theories such as a spin-current scenario. We argue that the effect can be consistently explained, if the exchange-induced electric p…
