The carrier transport mechanism through the p-diamond/metal interface was studied by measuring specific contact resistances (ρc) using a transmission line method for Ti, Mo, and Cr (carbide forming metals) and Pd and Co (carbon soluble metals) metals contacting to the boron-doped polycrystalline diamond films. Schottk…
We determine the electronic structure of single-wall, multiwall, and filled carbon nanotubes using the local-density-functional formalism. In order to handle these extremely inhomogeneous systems of nested graphene cylinders with ${10}^{3}$--${10}^{4}$ valence electrons, we adopt a technique that discretizes the eigen…
The influence of n-type doping CdO with In or Y has been investigated by high-resolution ultraviolet and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. It is found that core levels and valence band features suffer a shift to high binding energy due to doping. However this shift is less than the change in the width of the occupied…
The local electric fields in a semicontinuous metal film are shown to exhibit giant fluctuations in the visible and infrared spectral ranges, when the dissipation in metallic grains is small. The field fluctuations result in significantly enhanced Raman scattering from semicontinuous metal films. The scaling analysis…
A reproducible process for fabricating Ba1−xKxBiO3/Nb-doped SrTiO3 (BKBO/STNO) all-oxide-type Schottky junctions has been established, and the electrical properties of the junctions have been investigated at room temperature. Improving the STNO surface conditions by high-temperature oxygen-annealing made it possible t…
Narrow-band conductors may turn insulating and magnetic as a consequence of strong electron-electron correlation. In molecular conductors, the concomitance of a strong Jahn-Teller coupling may give rise to the alternative possibility of a nonmagnetic insulator, with or without a static cooperative Jahn-Teller distorti…
The Verwey transition in magnetite, ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{4}$, has been studied using temperature-dependent high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy. On heating through the transition temperature ${\mathrm{T}}_{\mathrm{V}}$ the band gap is not collapsed, but is merely reduced by \ensuremath{\sim}50 meV,…
Thin solid films of closely packed CdS nanocrystals with sizes between 1.5 and 1.8 nm have been prepared and sandwiched between indium–tin–oxide (ITO) and silver contacts. At room temperature, these CdS nanocrystals start to emit light visible to the unaided eye at a bias above 15 V. The spectral characteristics are v…
The potential of the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), consisting of medium-chain-length (MCL) hydroxyfatty acids (C5-C14), in recombinant Escherichia coli was investigated. E. coli mutants affected in fatty acid degradation and fatty acid de novo synthesis were employed. We established the functional express…
A new method for the synthesis of inroganic—organic composites with promising properties is the incorporation of polyoxometalates into well-ordered organic films by the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) method. The structure of such an LB film is depicted schematically on the right.
The magnetic structure of antiferromagnetically ordered phases of quasi-one-dimensional organic conductors is studied theoretically at absolute zero based on the mean field approximation to the quarter-filled band with on-site and nearest-neighbor Coulomb interaction. The differences in magnetic properties between the…
Femtosecond nonlinear transmission techniques are applied to study mechanisms for optical nonlinearities and ultrafast carrier dynamics in CdS nanocrystals (NC's). The obtained data indicate the change in a dominant hole relaxation channel at high pump levels where nonlinear recombination effects start to play a signi…
Using natural rubber latex as the sole source of carbon and energy 50 rubber-degrading bacteria were isolated. Out of those 50 isolates, 33 were identified as Streptomyces species and 8 as Micromonospora species. Screening of 1220 bacteria obtained from different culture collections revealed 46 additional rubber-degra…
Extrinsic levels, formation energies, and relaxation geometries are calculated ab initio for oxygen vacancies in alpha-quartz SiO2. The vacancy is found to be thermodynamically stable in the charge states Q=+3, Q=0, Q=--2, and Q=-3. The charged states are stabilized by large and asymmetric distortions near the vacancy…
Component of photoexcited states with large spatial extent is investigated for optical absorption spectra of the electroluminescent conjugated polymers by using the intermediate exciton theory. We calculate the ratio of oscillator strengths due to long-range excitons with respect to sum of all the oscillator strengths…
This monograph describes the theory and practice of electron spectrometry using synchrotron radiation. The book is in three parts. After a short review of background theory, neon is used to elucidate the principles of the photoelectron and Auger spectra. The second part of the book looks at experimental aspects, inclu…
A methodology is introduced for predicting the effective thermal conductivity of arbitrary particulate composites with interfacial thermal resistance in terms of an effective medium approach combined with the essential concept of Kapitza thermal contact resistance. Results of the present model are compared to existing…
We discuss a generalization of the surface reconstruction arguments for the structure of intermediate size Si clusters, which leads to model geometries for the sizes 33, 39 (two isomers), 45 (two isomers), 49 (two isomers), 57 and 61 (two isomers). The common feature in all these models is a structure that closely res…
Nb-substituting Fe impurity in KNbO3 is studied in first-principles supercell calculations by the linear muffin-tin orbital method. Possible ways to account for the impurity charge compensation are discussed. Calculations are done in the local density approximation (LDA) and, for better description of Coulomb correlat…
We report the experimental results of impurity contamination and laser-induced damage investigations on rapidly grown potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystals. Using absorption spectroscopy and chemical analysis, we determined the impurity distribution in the different growing sectors of KDP single crystals. The…
