We report the results of spectral, structural and electrical investigations on plasticized polyaniline/polymethylmethacrylate blend films (PAni/PMMA), obtained by the co-dissolution method using three different molecular weights of the PMMA matrix. The use of dibuthylphtalate as a plasticizer allowed us to obtain free…

Strain is generally known to increase the coercive field of a ferroelectric thin film as compared to a stress-free single crystal or a strain-relaxed film. We studied the coercive fields and remanent polarizations of (001)-oriented epitaxial barium titanate thin films using the phase-field approach. It is demonstrated…

A novel Eu 2+ ion doped triple phosphate Ca 8 MgGd(PO 4 ) 7 was synthesized by a general high-temperature solid-state reaction in a reductive atmosphere. X-ray powder diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of single phase Ca 8 MgGd(PO 4 ) 7 . Scanning electron microscopy indicated that the microstructure of the…

This paper describes the optical responses and memory effects of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)/CdSe quantum dot (QD) thin-film transistors (TFTs). TFTs incorporating P3HT/CdSe QD blends as the active layer exhibited higher photocurrents than did the corresponding P3HT-only devices because the heterojunction between P3…

This paper studies the mechanism of the formation of carbon nanostructures on carbon nanofibers with Pd nanoparticles by using different carbon sources. The carbon nanofibers with Pd nanoparticles were produced by carbonizing electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers including Pd(Ac)(2). Such PAN-based carbon nan…

ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized and conjugated to the porphyrin derivative, meso-tetra (o-amino phenyl) porphyrin (MTAP). Energy transfer from the ZnO nanoparticles to MTAP was investigated and the energy transfer rate was measured to be as high as 83%. Compared with MTAP and ZnO alone, ZnO-MTAP conjugates have low…

A new approach for the realization of highly dispersive dielectric transmission gratings is presented, which enables the suppression of any reflection losses and, thus, 100% diffraction efficiency. By applying a simple two-mode-model a comprehensible explanation as well as a theoretical design of such a reflection-fre…

We report an inexpensive yet scalable templating technique for fabricating moth-eye antireflection gratings on gallium antimonide substrates. Non-close-packed colloidal monolayers are utilized as etching masks to pattern subwavelength-structured nipple arrays on GaSb. The resulting gratings exhibit superior broadband…

We examine the plastic deformation of a model polymeric glass under tension. Local plastic events are found at extremely small strains, well below the yielding point, in a regime where the material is traditionally described as perfectly elastic. A distinct relationship is identified between these irreversible displac…

Polyelectrolytes carrying multiple negative charges were found to induce the aggregation and self-assembly of the positively charged platinum(II)-terpyridyl complexes in aqueous media. The aggregation and self-assembly of the complexes were driven by electrostatic interactions between the polymer and the complex, and…

Patterning ferroelectric domains to engineer devices is a relatively recent phenomenon. It is practiced on nonlinear optical materials to make micrometer-sized devices and on perovskite-based thin crystals to progress toward memory devices. Such patterning forms the basis of lithographic processing of heterogeneous na…

Impedance analysis was employed to study the frequency response characteristics of supercapacitors utilizing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as electrode material. The knee frequency is around 631Hz for the electrochemically oxidized SWNT supercapacitor, much higher than that of the as-prepared one (around 316H…

The heat of formation of Fe–Cr alloys undergoes an anomalous change of sign at small Cr concentrations. This observation raises the question as to whether there are intermetallic phases present in this composition range. Here, we report the discovery of several long-range ordered structures that represent ground state…

Over the last years, several experimental and theoretical studies of diffusion kinetics on the nanoscale have shown that the time evolution (x∝tkc) differs from the classical Fickian law (kc=0.5). However, all work was based on crystalline samples or models, so far. In this letter, we report on the diffusion kinetics…

Low-energy atomic impacts on the Ag(110) surface are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations based on reliable many-body semiempirical potentials. Trajectory deflections (steering) caused by the atom-surface interaction are observed, together with impact-following, transient-mobility effects. Such processes are…

Anomalous Values of Debye temperature have been obtained from Lamb Mossbauer factor measurements of Ge-Se-Ag glasses. We show that this anomaly may arise due to the presence of anharmonic potential at the high spin ferrous site. In this paper, we use q Lamb Mossbauer factor and anharmonic Lamb Mossbauer factor to stud…
