The layer magnetization, the saturation magnetization as well as the magnetic anisotropy, and damping behavior of 20nm thick Ni81Fe19 films have been modified by 30keV Ni ion implantation with fluences up to 1×1016Ni∕cm2 (≈5at.%). With increasing ion fluence a magnetic dead layer of increasing thickness is formed whic…

A uniform layer of carbon nanofibers is grown on a cordierite monolith by first coating the monolith with a thin layer of γ-alumina. The nanofibers form a thick, uniform layer on the monolith walls as shown in the figure, leading to the formation of a mesoporous and mechanically robust composite. The absence of microp…

Abstract Electrospinning uses a high voltage electric field to produce fine fibers. A new phenomenon of self‐assembly in the electrospinning of polyurethane nanofibers is observed. This report is the first known self‐assembling phenomenon in polyurethane electrospun nanofibers. Electrospun polyurethane nanofibers self…

In this letter we demonstrate a simple carbon nanotube patterning technique that combines nanotube film bonding, photolithography, and O2 plasma etching. Well defined carbon nanotube film structures with line widths less than ∼1.5μm and thickness ranging from 40to780nm were readily fabricated. A micro-optomechanical a…

Abstract A new processing method for the fabrication of single‐walled nanotube (SWNT)‐reinforced nanocomposites was developed to achieve uniform dispersion and high composition of the nanotubes in the nanocomposites. In this method, SWNTs were preformed as bucky paper by multi‐step dispersion and micro‐filtration of a…

Abstract Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and its blend films were prepared by melt‐blending the binary mixture of PVDF/dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and the ternary mixture of PVDF/CaCO 3 /DBP in combination of TIPS. Their morphologies were characterized by scanning electron microscope depended on preparation condition, such…

The microplastic regime, where materials exhibit plastic deformation at stresses well below the yield stress, is of great importance for the precise design of functional materials. In polycrystalline metals, it is taken for granted that the majority of grains are plastically deforming at the macroscopic yield stress;…

Dense nanocrystalline BaTiO3 ceramics with the average grain size of 20nm obtained by spark plasma sintering were investigated. The dielectric data show a ferroelectric to paraelectric phase transition with a maximum permittivity of ≈930 at 115°C and at 1kHz. The polarization-reversal characteristics and the local fer…

N-doped and In-N-codoped ZnO films were fabricated on quartz glass substrate by sol-gel spin coating. Their p-type conductivities were characterized by the Hall measurements, revealing low resistivities of the order of 10−1Ωcm. Thin-film junctions comprising an undoped ZnO layer and a N-doped ZnO layer displayed the t…

We introduce and numerically study a model designed to mimic the bulk behaviour of a system composed of single-stranded DNA dendrimers. Complementarity of the base sequences of different strands results in the formation of strong cooperative intermolecular links. We find that in an extremely narrow temperature range t…

The optical properties of solution-grown ZnO nanorods were investigated using photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence. The as-grown nanorods displayed a broad yellow-orange sub-band-gap luminescence and a small near-band-gap emission peak. The sub-band-gap luminescence can only be observed when exciting above band g…

Real collective density variables $C(\boldsymbol{k})$ [c.f. Eq.\ref{Equation3})] in many-particle systems arise from non-linear transformations of particle positions, and determine the structure factor $S(\boldsymbol{k})$, where $\bf k$ denotes the wave vector. Our objective is to prescribe $C({\boldsymbol k})$ and th…

As a simple model for piezoelectricity we consider a gas of infinitely many non-interacting electrons subject to a slowly time-dependent periodic potential. We show that in the adiabatic limit the macroscopic current is determined by the geometry of the Bloch bundle. As a consequence we obtain the King-Smith and Vande…
