Attempts to explain correlated‐electron superconductivity (SC) have largely focused on the proximity of the superconducting state to antiferromagnetism. Yet, there exist many correlated‐electron systems that exhibit insulator‐superconducting transitions where the insulating state exhibits spatial broken symmetry diffe…

In-situ electromigration tests have been performed inside a scanning electron microscope on 30 nm wide single damascene interconnects without vias, where a good resolution was obtained and drift velocities during void growth could be measured at 300 °C. These tests showed direct evidence that the cathode end of the li…

CoNi gradient binary-alloy nanowires are prepared in porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template via electrodeposition. The coercivity and remanence of the nanowires are of high anisotropy due to the axial deposition of the magnetic compositions. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy and crystalline structure of the nanow…

Abstract The properties of polyamide 6 (PA6)/poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) blends (60/40, wt%) compatibilized by poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (SMA) were studied. The addition of SMA can form an in situ copolymer, SMA- graft -PA6. The SMA- graft -PA6 copolymer actually plays a key role as a compatib…

A one‐step method was developed for preparing Ag 2 S quantum dots (QDs) using a common protein [bovine serum albumin (BSA)] to entrap QDs precursors (BSA–Ag + ). Fluorescence (FL) and ultraviolet spectra showed that the molar ratio of Ag + /BSA, temperature, and pH are the crucial factors for the quality of QDs. The Q…

Anisotropic growth is observed for homoepitaxial diamond (111) films by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition in the lateral growth mode. Using ex situ atomic force microscopy, we clearly show the motion of single bi-atomic layer steps owing to homoepitaxial diamond growth for the first time. An atomisti…

In this work, we present a method for the incorporation of anisotropic colloidal nanocrystals of many different shapes in silica in a highly controlled way. This method yields a uniform silica shell, with thickness tunable from 3 to 17 nm. The silica shell perfectly adapts to the shape of the nanocrystals, preserving…
