Abstract The existence of single‐wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in organic solvents, in the form of clusters, is discussed. A theory is developed based on a bundlet model for clusters, describing the distribution function of clusters by size. The phenomena have a unified explanation in the bundlet model of clusters, in…

Negative capacitance has been observed in conducting polymer nanowires. These nanowires exhibit features of one-dimensional Wigner crystals, such as switching transition that reduces resistance by several orders of magnitude, negative differential resistance, and enhancement of noise in the switched state. Negative ca…

Characteristics of phase transitions of lead barium niobate compositions around the morphotropic phase boundary were investigated. Using structural characterizations, it was found that the morphotropic phase boundary extends toward a wide composition range, in which both tetragonal (4mm) and orthorhombic (m2m) tungste…

The anomaly in dielectric constant versus temperature plot, around the Néel temperature TN (∼150 K), is found to be frequency dependent in a single crystal of bilayer manganite Pr(Sr0.1Ca0.9)2Mn2O7. The anomaly in the permittivity (ε′∥c) occurs at a temperature Tf which moves within a temperature window (ΔTf) of ∼40 K…

We theoretically investigate multifrequency cloak based on multishell by using transformation medium. As for each shell, we use the Maxwell–Garnett theory and the spectral representation theory to design the permittivity profile for the transverse magnetic wave. The plasma frequencies of the metals used in the inner (…

Influence of thermal annealing on electroluminescence (EL) from multiple-Si-implanted silicon nitride films has been investigated. A reduced injection current and an enhanced EL intensity have been obtained simultaneously by increasing the annealing temperature, which results in a higher EL quantum efficiency. In addi…

Summary Sericin is a natural silk protein which is removed from silk in a process called degumming. Thus, finding a use for the extracted sericin as a biopolymer film will create added value which will benefit both the economy and society. It was found that extracted sericin could not form stand‐alone films. Therefore…
