Fine tip structures are required for many applications in different technologies, for example in scanning probe microscopy or vacuum microelectronic devices. Tips can be produced with nanometre precision by the electron-beam-induced deposition technique. The deposition process, however, is still not really understood.…

ZnO and ZnO:Li films (1-3 mu m thickness) were deposited on a soda lime glass substrate by a spray pyrolysis technique using ZnCl 2 and LiCl as starting materials. Physical properties of these films were studied as a function of substrate temperature T s and lithium concentration. The best ZnO film was obtained for T…

1.3 μm to visible upconversion is observed in a BaCl2:Dy,Er phosphor system. Yellow fluorescence is visible under 1.3 μm laser diode (5 mW) irradiation. Radiative transitions from the 4S3/2 and 4F9/2 levels to the ground level 4I15/2 of the Er3+ ions cause fluorescence lines at 550 and 670 nm, respectively. This indic…

It is demonstrated that a surface energy anisotropy (anchoring) defines the growth pattern of the field-induced transition in a smectic-$A$ liquid crystal (Sm-$A$). The stable domain phase nucleates as rounded domains but expands as stripes. The change in growth pattern is accounted for a large anchoring strength ${W}…

We show that ferromagnetic films separated by a spacer of amorphous Si are exchange coupled for Si thicknesses ${d}_{\mathrm{Si}}\ensuremath{\le}40$\AA{}. For $14\AA{}<{d}_{\mathrm{Si}}<22\AA{}$ we observe antiferromagnetic coupling. The coupling strength of approximately 5 \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} ${1…

I present observations of interfacial tension between miscible pairs of silicate liquid and propose a theoretical model that quantitatively accounts for them. Viscoelastic rheology of the liquids permits the establishment of gradient stress completely analogous to thermal stress in Maxwell solids; this is expected whe…

The addition of 0.4–8.6 at. % Co to Cu thin films strongly influences the temperature evolution of microstructure, stress, and resistivity. For concentrations near 1 at. % Co in coevaporated Cu-Co on oxidized Si, normal grain growth begins at about 75 °C, about 50 °C lower than in pure Cu. There is an abrupt decrease…

We provide a theoretical explanation for the observed quasiuniversality of the ratio of the long-time to short-time self-diffusion coefficients in the colloidal liquids at freezing. We also predict that the mean-squared displacement at freezing, plotted against a suitably renormalized time, yields a universal curve sh…

The relaxation time of the magnetization of a big magnetic molecule is evaluated. Isotropic exchange is assumed to be dominant, resulting in a fixed spin modulus s (equal to 20 in the case of interest). A perturbation of the form AS z 2 results from spin-orbit coupling and produces an energy barrier As 2 which separat…
