The excellent shock-absorbing performance of WS2 and MoS2 nanoparticles with inorganic fullerene-like structures (IFs) under very high shock wave pressures of 25 GPa is described. The combined techniques of X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and transmission elec…
We investigated the origin of ferromagnetism in epitaxially grown Mn-doped Ge thin films. Using low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy, Mn-doped Ge films were successfully grown without precipitation of ferromagnetic Ge–Mn intermetallic compounds, such as Mn 5 Ge 3 . Magnetic circular dichroism measurements revealed t…
The 2p-3d core hole interaction in the L2,3 absorption spectra of the 3d transition metals is treated within time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). A simple three-level model explains the origin of the strong deviations from the one-particle branching ratio and yields matrix elements of the unknown exchange…
Two sets of samples were synthesized at 3.5 GPa near the point of C60 cage collapse at different annealing times. A clear structural transformation from mixture of C60 polymeric phases to graphite-like hard carbon phase was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Magnetic force microscopy and supercondu…
We have explored the unknown structure of the phosphorus in the phase IV (P-IV phase) based on the first-principles calculations using the metadynamics simulation method. Starting from the simple cubic structure, we found a new modulated structure of a monoclinic lattice. The modulation is crucial to the stability of…
This paper presents experimental evidence and theoretical models supporting that dry friction stick-slip is described by self-organized criticality. We use the data, obtained with a pin-on-disc tribometer set to measure lateral force to examine the variation of the friction force as a function of time. We study nomina…
We report time-resolved measurements of current-induced reversal of a free magnetic layer in Py/Cu/Py elliptical nanopillars at temperatures T = 4.2 K to 160 K. Comparison of the data to Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert macrospin simulations of the free layer switching yields numerical values for the spin torque and the Gilber…
Thin films of laser molecular-beam epitaxy grown n-type Ga-doped ZnO were investigated with respect to their optical properties. Intense room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) in the near-band edge (NBE) region was observed. Moreover, its broadening of PL band was significantly larger than predicted by theoretical re…
Montmorillonite‐based organoclay was incorporated into rigid polyurethane foams. Clay was dispersed first in the isocyanate component ultrasonically. The dispersion was investigated using small angle X‐ray scattering and rheology. It was found that using toluene as common solvent enhanced dispersion significantly. The…
An ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF 4 ]) solution system has been designed for the morphogenesis and crystallization of Bi 2 S 3 nanostructures at low temperature and ambient atmosphere. Uniform Bi 2 S 3 flowers with a size of 3−5 μm, which are composed of nanowires with a diameter…
Doped Heusler compounds Co$_2$Cr$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$Al with varying Cr to Fe ratio $x$ were investigated experimentally and theoretically. The electronic structure of the ordered, doped Heusler compound Co$_2$Cr$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$Al ($x=n/4, n=0,1,2,3,4)$ was calculated using different types of band structure calculations. T…
Abstract Polystyrene (PS)/zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomposites were prepared by solution mixing, followed by film casting. The effects of ZnO nanoparticles on the physical properties of PS were investigated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) showed that ZnO nanop…
A metamaterial 1:4 series power divider that provides equal power split to all four output ports over a large bandwidth is presented, which can be extended to an arbitrary number of output ports. The divider comprises four nonradiating metamaterial lines in series, incurring a zero insertion phase over a large bandwid…
We have studied the changes in physical and chemical properties of cationic poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyltrimethylammonium chloride) brushes after collapse driven by ion-pairing interactions in the presence of ClO 4 - anions. Results derived from the quartz crystal microbalance technique, atomic force microscopy, Four…
Germania-glass-based core silica glass cladding single-mode fibers (/spl Delta/n up to 0.143) with a minimum loss of 20 dB/km at 1.9 /spl mu/m were fabricated by the modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) method. The fibers exhibit strong photorefractivity with the type-IIa-induced refractive-index modulation of 2/…
The perovskite solid solution system (1-x)BiScO3-(x)PbTiO3 represents an interesting new family of high-temperature piezoelectric materials. Compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary (x approximately 0.64) have been reported to have high Curie temperatures (Tc > 450 degrees C) and good piezoelectric coefficien…
Because modern society is strongly dependent on a reliable power supply, there is an urgent need to develop more reliable high voltage insulators. While porcelain and glass have dominated insulator materials for a long period of time, there is renewed interest in polymeric and semiconducting glaze insulators. This pap…
Self-consistent quantum simulations are used to explore the high-frequency performance potential of carbon nantube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs). The cutoff frequency expected for a recently reported CNT Schottky-barrier FET is well below the performance limit, due to the large parasitic capacitance between elect…
The target donor-acceptor compound forms an acridinium-like, locally excited (LE) singlet state on illumination with blue or near-UV light. This LE state undergoes rapid charge transfer from the acridinium ion to the orthogonally sited mesityl group in polar solution. The resultant charge-transfer (CT) state fluoresce…
The structural phase transformation in the La2/3Ba1/3MnO3 perovskite manganite was studied by ultrasound, neutron diffraction and electron microscopy techniques. Minima of the velocity and maxima of the decrement of the ultrasound point out the structural transition temperature Ts=200 K. The hysteretic temperature beh…
