The quasi-two-dimensional electron gases formed at the interface between insulators such as SrTiO3/LaAlO3 are predicted to arise from an interfacial electronic reconstruction, but the extent to which oxygen vacancies within the substrate contribute to the conduction remains unclear. We show that delta-doping the inter…

We report on the optical and magnetic properties of Mn-doped CdS nanocrystals coated with a ZnS shell layer (CdS:Mn/ZnS core-shell nanocrystals) by magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy. The magnetic field and temperature dependences of the MCD spectrum show paramagnetic behavior of the CdS:Mn/ZnS core-shell…

The synthesis and the characterization of original copolymers based on vinylidene cyanide (VCN) and 1 H,1 H,2 H,2 H -perfluorodecyl vinyl ether (FAVE8) are presented. While VCN is known to be very reactive in radical homopolymerization in contrast to the vinyl ether which does not homopolymerize, the radical copolymer…
