Sintering, coalescence, and compositional changes of hydrogen-terminated, crystalline silicon nanoparticles were examined as a function of temperature. Monodisperse aerosol particles ∼5 nm in diameter were synthesized by gas-to-particle conversion in a plasma reactor and then immediately heated as they flowed through…
We assess routes to a diamond-based quantum computer, where we specifically look towards scalable devices, with at least 10 linked quantum gates. Such a computer should satisfy the deVincenzo rules and might be used at convenient temperatures. The specific examples that we examine are based on the optical control of e…
The phenomenon of radioluminescence (RL) has been reported in a number of materials including Al2O3 : C, which is one of the main dosimetric materials. In this work, we study RL using a kinetic model involving two trapping states and two kinds of recombination centres. The model has been previously used to provide a q…
We report on electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies of nitrogen doped diamond that has been (15)N enriched, electron irradiated and annealed. EPR spectra from two new nitrogen containing [Formula: see text] defects are detected and labelled WAR9 and WAR10. We show that the properties of these defects are consis…
We report wiring of individual colloidal nanorods (NRs), 30-60 nm long by 3.5-5 nm diameter. Strong electrical coupling is achieved by electron beam induced deposition (EBID) of metallic lines targeting NR tips with nanometric precision. At T = 4 K many devices exhibit smooth I(V) curves with no sharp onset features,…
A review of diamond-metal contacts is presented with reference to reported values of interfacial potential (Schottky) barriers and their dependence on macroscopic and microscopic properties of the diamond surface, the interface and the metal. No simple model can account for the overall spread of p-diamond barriers, al…
This article reports on the numerical simulation of the transient heat transfer coupled with multidimensional liquid diffusion in porous textiles with a measurable-parameterized model. This model is developed with the incorporation of measured multidimensional liquid diffusion properties into the parameterization of t…
Abstract We have prepared epoxy/polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanocomposites by photopolymerization from octakis(glycidylsiloxy)octasilsesquioxane (OG) and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A. We used nuclear magnetic resonance, Raman, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies to characterize the chemica…
Thin films of Fe 1+δ Se 1− x Te x (δ∼0.18 and x ∼0.5) have been successfully grown on (100)-oriented single-crystalline SrTiO 3 and LaAlO 3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The crystal structure was characterized by x-ray diffraction and the superconducting properties by electrical resistivity measurements. X-ra…
A new approach for the fabrication of neutral dendritic metallocycles is described. By combining rigid 120 degrees dicarboxylate donor linkers funtionalized with [G0]-[G3] Frechet-type dendrons and complementary rigid 60 degrees and 120 degrees di-Pt(II) acceptor subunits, neutral rhomboidal metallodendrimers and hexa…
In this paper we report on the positron lifetime results obtained for brown and colourless natural diamond. Optical effects of the observed vacancy defects in brown, high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) treated colourless and naturally colourless type IIa diamond samples were studied by combining the positron measur…
Abstract Naturally amorphous biopolyester poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐ co ‐4‐hydroxybutyrate) (P3/4HB) containing 21 mol % of 4HB was blended with semi‐crystal poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) with an aim to improve the properties of aliphatic polyesters. The effect of PBS contents on miscibility, thermal properties, crystal…
The formation and properties of (110)-textured P-doped microcrystalline CVD diamond were studied. Based on several microscopy techniques, with a special emphasis on electron backscattered diffraction, a detailed determination of the grain orientations with respect to the exact [110] axis is given. The different orient…
Abstract Three sulfonato‐containing fluorene‐based anionic water‐soluble conjugated polymers, which are specially designed to link fluorene with alternating moieties such as bipyridine ( P1 ), pyridine ( P2 ), and benzene ( P3 ) have been synthesized via the Pd‐catalyzed Sonogashira‐coupling reaction, respectively. Th…
A simple one-dimensional Monte Carlo model has been developed to simulate the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of a diamond (100) surface. The model considers adsorption, etching/desorption, lattice incorporation, and surface migration along and across the dimer rows. The top of a step-edge is considered to have an in…
Abstract Polyaniline soluble in organic solvents was prepared using dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid (DBSA) as functional dopant. The solubility parameter was calculated and the most suitable solvent chloroform was checked for the solubility and the most compatible polymer PMMA was selected for blending. Miscibility was m…
Abstract The dissolution of hydroxyapatite (HAP) and fluorapatite (FAP) has been studied (25 °C, 0.1 M NaCl medium) within the pH ranges 2–11 (FAP) and 4–10 (HAP). A range of techniques has been utilized to achieve understanding in how these two abundant minerals may interact with their natural surroundings (e.g., bod…
Abstract Here, a colloidal templating procedure for generating high‐density arrays of gold macroporous microwells, which act as discrete sites for surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), is reported. Development of such a novel array with discrete macroporous sites requires multiple fabrication steps. First, selecti…
In this study, lead-free 0.95(K0.5Na0.5)NbO3-0.05Li(Sb1 − x Nb x )O3 system ceramics were fabricated according to the amount of Nb substitution for Sb site of LiSbO3 ceramics and their dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics were investigated. With increasing the amount of Nb substitution, electromechanical coupl…
Hydrogen constitutes nearly half of all atoms in proteins and their positions are essential for analyzing hydrogen-bonding interactions and refining atomic-level structures. However, most protein structures determined by experiments or computer prediction lack hydrogen coordinates. We present a new algorithm, HAAD, to…
