We develop physical models for magnetic semiconductor devices, where a part of the device structure consists of a ferromagnetic semiconductor layer. First we calculate the effect of the exchange interaction between the charge carrier spins and the spins of the localized magnetic electrons on the electronic states, rec…
Optically transparent, mesostructured titanium dioxide thin films were fabricated using an amphiphilic poly(alkylene oxide) block copolymer template in combination with retarded hydrolysis of a titanium isopropoxide precursor. Prior to calcination, the films displayed a stable hexagonal mesophase and high refractive i…
Electronic structure calculations of Sr2Be2B2O7 (SBBO) family crystals including Sr2Be2B2O7, BaAl2B2O7, and K2Al2B2O7 have been performed based on a plane-wave pseudopotential method. Moreover, the linear optical coefficients and the static second-harmonic generation (SHG) coefficients of BaAl2B2O7 and K2Al2B2O7 are c…
Monodisperse polystyrene (PS) films with various thicknesses were spun-coated on silicon wafers with native oxide layer. Surface relaxation behavior in the PS films was studied as a function of thickness by lateral force microscopy (LFM). In the case of a thick PS film, a clear lateral force peak corresponding to surf…
Pulsed laser deposition was used to grow thin films of several compositions from the Pb(Mg1/3,Nb2/3)O3–PbTiO3 (PMN–PT) solid solution as dielectric layers in thin film capacitor structures. They were found to display functional behavior characteristic of relaxors, with the only significant difference between thin film…
The composition and magnetic properties of two types of ultrathin ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{3\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\delta}}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}(111)$ films grown epitaxially on Pt(111) have been characterized using conversion electron M\"ossbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). CEMS data from b…
The vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectra of the nanosized YBO3:Eu crystals, which have already been prepared by a more facile sol–gel pyrolysis process at a relatively low annealing temperature in our previous work, were investigated and compared to the bulk synthesized by conventional solid-state reactions. In the emissi…
Optical absorption, luminescence spectra and upconversion of both red to green and infrared to green luminescence have been studied for a Ho3+ doped zinc tellurite glass of composition 19ZnO−80TeO2−1Ho2O3. From the absorption data, Judd–Ofelt parameters for the Ho3+ ion are calculated along with the radiative transiti…
We consider the dynamics of Vicsek fractals of arbitrary connectivity, models for hyperbranched polymers. Their basic dynamical properties depend on their eigenvalue spectra, which can be determined iteratively. This paves the way for theoretical studies to very high precision for regular, finite, arbitrarily large hy…
With increasing the Li doping level in La0.7Ca0.3−yLiyMnO3 (0⩽y⩽0.3), the system is driven from a higher-conductivity regime to a lower-conductivity regime, which is in sharp contrast with the behavior of Na or K doping. Compared to those of K or Na, the ionic radius of Li is much smaller than that of Ca. Therefore, s…
When an industrial process is developed using the microbial transformation of a precursor into a desired chemical compound, high concentrations of substrate and product will be involved. These compounds may become toxic to the cells. In situ product removal (ISPR) may be carried out, using auxiliary phases such as ext…
Structural information on osteocalcin or other noncollagenous bone proteins is very limited. We have solved the three-dimensional structure of calcium bound osteocalcin using (1)H 2D NMR techniques and proposed a mechanism for mineral binding. The protons in the 49 amino acid sequence were assigned using standard two-…
Microspheres made of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) are biocompatible and biodegradable, rendering them a promising tool in the context of drug delivery. However, nonspecific adsorption of plasma proteins on PLGA micro- and nanospheres is a main limitation of drug targeting. Poly(L-lysine)-g-poly(ethylene glycol…
Raman spectra of nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films show a peak around 1140 cm−1 that is usually considered to be a fingerprint of a NCD phase in the sample. From recent studies, it was suggested that this line is due to trans-polyacetylene in the films. We present Raman spectra of deuterated NCD films produced from…
A series of poly(propylene imine) dendrimers functionalized with long aliphatic chains has been prepared and characterized. The property of these dendrimers to encapsulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from water down to a few ppb level has been established. The inclusion formation constants are orders of magnitude…
Poly(hydroxyalkanoates) PHAs are synthesized by many bacteria as inclusion bodies and their biodegradability and structural diversity have been studied with a view to their potential application as biodegradable materials. A method based on FT-IR was developed to carry out rapid qualitative and quantitative analysis o…
In a real magnet, the relation between isothermal remanence Jr(H) and dc demagnetization remanence Jd(H) is expressed as δm(H)=[Jd(H)−Jr(∞)+2Jr(H)]/J(∞). It is believed that nonzero δm is due to the interactions between particles in the magnet. Using Pr2Fe14B as a sample, the relation is examined by the micromagnetic…
Over the past few years, bionanomaterial science has emerged as a new exciting field in which theoretical and experimental studies of structure and function of bionanomaterials have become a focus, and the importance of DNA, RNA, and peptides as bionanomaterials to the fundamental development in biology and nanomateri…
We have fabricated electronic devices based on single-walled boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). Our measurements indicate that all BNNTs are semiconducting, and p-doped. Temperature dependence of two terminal transport experiments suggests that at low drain fields, transport is dominated by thermionic emission over 250–…
Nano-silver doped silica films were deposited on glass slides using a sol-gel process and heat-treated at different temperatures. The films were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS), and tr…
