The ferromagnetic response from Co-doped CeO2 epilayers is shown to be linked to the formation of Co metallic nanowires (diameters in the 3–7 nm range) within the oxide matrix. These results (i) illustrate the key role of the shape anisotropy of metallic inclusions in diluted magnetic oxides (DMO), (ii) stress the imp…

The authors report on the field emission from controlled selective grown zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays by hydrothermal reaction. With the combined effect from a ZnO seed layer and a passivation layer for nanorod growth, ZnO nanorods could only grow on the edge of a 4 μm diameter circle. The ZnO nanorods hollow array…

Magnesium-based alloys are promising candidates as potential hydrogen storage materials due to their inherent high hydrogen contents. Small particle size which can be achieved by milling and small amounts of transition-metal compounds as catalysts result in increased hydrogen release/uptake kinetics. In this work, we…

Using an atomic force microscopy, we have measured the separation dependence of the force between an atomically flat mica sheet and a micrometer-sized glass sphere immersed in the nematic liquid crystal. As the mica surface induces a strong parallel alignment and the treated glass sphere induces a strong perpendicular…
