Single-walled carbon nanotube diodes are fabricated in a split-gate geometry with electron (n) and hole (p) regions separated by a central region. With the central region gated p or n type the diodes “leak” at low voltages, likely due to tunneling across the smaller depletion region. With the central region intrinsic,…

Abstract Despite eggs having a natural packaging—shell—they are perishable and can lose their quality during storage. Chitosan‐based coatings were applied to shell eggs to examine potential effects on egg quality properties (weight loss, Haugh unit, yolk index) during 4 weeks of storage. Mineral amounts in yolks were…

3 mol % Mn -doped 0.71Pb(Mg1∕3Nb2∕3)O3–0.29PbTiO3 single crystals were grown by a modified Bridgman technique. The pyroelectric properties and thermal stability of the crystals were investigated. Mn substitution resulted in an enhanced pyroelectric coefficient and a lower dielectric loss, which led to the improvement…

Gate modulated transport in semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes shows significant hysteresis in their transfer characteristics. The origin of this hysteresis is generally attributed to the screening of the gate voltage due to the movement of mobile charges/ions in the inherent presence of a trapping/detrapping…

Angle resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to investigate the surface electronic structure of barium strontium titanate (BST) films. In contrast to previous photoemission studies which identified two chemical states associated with only Ba in the near surface region, the authors have resolved core-level…

Magnesium nanoparticles with size above 10nm, prepared by gas-phase syntheses, were investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The dominant particle shape is a hexagonal prism terminated by Mg(0002) and Mg{101¯0} facets. Oxidation of Mg yields a MgO shell (∼3nm thick), which has an orientation r…

The scaling behavior of the dynamic hysteresis of ferroelectric bulk system was investigated. The scaling relation of hysteresis area ⟨A⟩ against frequency f and field amplitude E0 for the saturated loops of the soft lead zirconate titanate bulk ceramic takes the form of ⟨A⟩∝f−1∕4E0, which differs significantly from t…
