Abstract This study examines textural inhomogeneity and variable chemical composition of Upper Jurassic glaucony in relation to small‐scale synsedimentary and postsedimentary authigenic processes controlled by the palaeonvironmental and palaeogeographical context. Four glaucony types with complex textural and composit…

A review is given of recent angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) experiments and analyses on a series of layered charge density wave materials. Important aspects of ARPES are recalled in view of its capability for bulk band, Fermi surface and spectral function mapping despite its surface sensitivity. Discussed are TaS…

In this letter, the authors propose a practical and reliable approach—using deposited multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as source and drain electrodes—for reducing the contact resistance (Rc) in pentacene-based bottom-contact thin-film transistors. The value of Rc of the devices was closely linked to the resultant…

Polycrystalline Ca 3− x Ag x Co 4 O 9 (0≤ x ≤0.3) samples were prepared by solid-state reaction and their thermo-transport properties were studied from 5 K to room temperature. With the substitution of Ag + for Ca 2+ , the internal chemical pressure induced by Ag + doping has a strong effect on the transport propertie…

Surface plasmon polaritons launched at concentric arcs can be focused into a subwavelength wide focal spot of high near-field light intensity. The focused plasmons give rise to enhanced Raman scattering from R6G molecules placed in the focal area. By exploiting the polarization dependence of the focusing the authors e…

The separation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) according to their electronic structure has attracted much recent attention. In many cases, metallic SWNTs are separated from semiconducting SWNTs and enriched in the supernatant due to stronger interaction between metallic SWNTs and adsorbates. However, the inv…

We performed tight-binding molecular dynamics on single-walled carbon nanotubes with and without a variety of defects to study their effect on the nanotube modulus and failure through bond rupture. For a pristine (5,5) nanotube, Young's modulus was calculated to be approximately 1.1 TPa, and brittle rupture occurred a…

A new inrush current limiter (ICL) is presented to limit the inrush current of transformers. The proposed ICL consists of three similar sets. Each set includes a diode-bridge and a single DC reactor and is connected in series with the individual phases of transformer. The ICL has almost no effect on normal operation o…

Bi Fe O 3 films have been grown on SrTiO3 (001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. It was found that oxygen partial pressure is crucial to phase purity, surface morphology, and surface chemistry. Single-phase BFO films were obtained at 1Pa O2, while Bi2O3 appeared in the films deposited at 0.01Pa as confirmed by x…

Surface texturing by solution deposition has been developed for antireflection in solar cells. The surface texture is formed by a monolayer of microscale silica particles partially immersed into a spin-on-glass film with a thickness less than the height of the particles. When the silica particles have a spherical shap…

An unusual and rather large transient lateral photovoltage (LPV) has been observed in La0.9Sr0.1MnO3∕SrNb0.01Ti0.99O3 and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3∕Si heterojunctions under the nonuniform irradiation of pulsed laser. The irreversible LPVs on both sides of a p-n junction challenge the well established model for LPV in conventiona…

Phosphors with ultraviolet (UV) mechanoluminescence (ML) SrAl2O4:Ce (SAOCe) and SrAl2O4:Ce,Ho (SAOHoCe) were reported in this letter. The results reveal that the ML emission band is located at 375nm similar to photoluminescent (PL) peak, which indicates that ML is emitted from the same center of Ce3+ ions as PL. Furth…

First-principles calculations are employed to study the structural and magnetic properties of SrC and BaC in four different phases: rocksalt, CsCl, zinc blende, and NiAs. The obtained results indicate that both compounds show half-metallic behavior in all phases except the CsCl-type structure. Among them the rocksalt…

A property associated with a vortex structure becomes evident from an analysis of confinement phenomena of magnetic oscillations in a quasi-2D ferrite disk with a dominating role of magnetic-dipolar (non-exchange-interaction) spectra. The vortices are guaranteed by the chiral edge states of magnetic-dipolar modes whic…

We propose a double channel mechanism for the formation of charged excitons (trions); they are formed through bi- and tri-molecular processes. This directly implies that both negatively and positively charged excitons coexist in a quantum well, even in the absence of excess carriers. The model is applied to a time-res…
