We report a formation method and an electrical characterization of aligned arrays of Au nanoparticles (∼20–40 nm). We synthesized the structure by immersing a substrate vertically into a solvent with nanoparticle and letting the solvent evaporate. The periodicity of the arrays has been controlled in 10–40 μm range by…

Abstract Lithium niobate crystals doped with ytterbium were studied using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and Electron Nuclear Double Resonance (ENDOR). The tremendous narrowing of EPR lines in nearly stoichiometric samples, when compared to those in congruent samples, allowed us to distinguish nine non‐equivale…

A new sonogenerated chemiluminescence (SCL) system has been developed to investigate the SCL behavior of acidinium ester (AE). The optimum parameters for this SCL system have also been investigated in detail. Under the optimum conditions, a typical SCL signal could be obtained in a mixture of DMF and alkaline water so…

The roles of coordinating ligands (TOPO, OA, HDA, and TDPA) for the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles are investigated. Various shapes (hexagonal cone, hexagonal plate, and rod) and sizes (5-100 nm) of ZnO nanoparticles are prepared in relation to the coordinating ligands. The hexagonal shapes (<TEX>$\leq$</TEX> 100 nm)…

Using the field-emission (FE)-induced evaporation technique, carbon-nanotube (CNT) caps with continuously varying radii from subnanometer to 2.5 nm are obtained on individual CNTs with a conical tip. It is found that 1 nm may be considered as a practical critical radius for the applicability of the Fowler–Nordheim the…

Abstract Penetration and perforation behavior of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) plates containing 20% sand filler have been investigated via high velocity impact tests using sharp tipped (30°) projectile and quasi‐static perforation tests. Two size sand filler (75 and 600 μm) were used in 4‐, 8‐, and 14‐layered…

The influence of glass-fiber (GF)/polypropylene (PP) commingled yarn structure on the impregnation quality of laminates is investigated by characterizing the microstructure and mechanical properties of the laminates. For this study, the degree of interlacing of the commingled yarns is taken as a measure of the structu…

Epitaxial thin films of hexagonal ErMnO3 fabricated on Pt(111)/Al2O3(0001) and yttria-stabilized zirconia(111) substrates exhibited both ferroelectric character and magnetic ordering at low temperatures. As the temperature was reduced, the ErMnO3 films first showed antiferromagnetism. At lower temperatures, the films…

Abstract We have observed edge emission due to free excitons and electron–hole droplets in diamond by two‐photon excitation using subpicosecond laser pulses at 257 nm. We find that excitonic temperatures under two‐photon excitation are much lower than the case of one‐photon excitation. A minimum excitonic temperature…
