Single-phase Bi1−xNdxFeO3 (BNFOx) (x=0–0.2) multiferroic ceramics were prepared to study the effects of Nd substitution on their crystal structures, Raman scattering spectra, and ferroelectric properties. Rietveld refinement of x-ray diffraction data showed a gradual change in crystal structure from rhombohedral to ps…
In this paper, a transient technique is developed to characterize the thermophysical properties of one-dimensional conductive and nonconductive microscale wires. In this technique, the to-be-measured thin wire is suspended between two electrodes. When feeding a step dc to the sample, its temperature will increase and…
We use first-principles density-functional calculations to determine the frequency shift of the A$'_1$-${\bf K}$ phonon (Raman D band) in monolayer graphene, as a function of the charge doping. A detailed DFT study on the electron-phonon coupling and the phonon line width of E$_{2g}$-${\bm Γ}$ and A$'_1$-${\bf K}$ pho…
We consider a model for gelation of rigid rods, in which rods that are initially placed at random undergo diffusion, and form cross-links when they collide. In the limit of point-like cross-links, the number N of croslinks per rod approaches N ~ 3.53. In a model with compliant cross-links of maximum length l_c, N(t) i…
We have implemented time-propagation of the non-equilibrium Green function for atoms and molecules, by solving the Kadanoff-Baym equations within a conserving self-energy approximation. We here demonstrate the usefulnes of time-propagation for calculating spectral functions and for describing the correlated electron d…
A series of core/shell CdSe/Zn1-xMnxS nanoparticles were synthesized for use in dual-mode optical and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques. Mn2+ content was in the range of 0.6-6.2% and varies with the thickness of the shell or amount of Mn2+ introduced to the reaction. These materials showed high quantum yield…
This DOI is not currently attached to any metadata records. DOIs can’t actually ever be deleted (they’re persistent), but sometimes our members create DOIs in error. We do have a process to approximate deletion which we follow only in rare cases where the DOI has been genuinely created in error, and most crucially, if…
We present a new highly sensitive method for detection of proteases based on triggered dispersion of gold nanoparticle assemblies.
We find, using a local density approximation +Hubbard U method, that oxygen vacancies tend to cluster in a linear way in SrTiO(3), a prototypical perovskite oxide, accompanied by strong electron localization at the 3d state of the nearby Ti transition metal ion. The vacancy clustering and the associated electron local…
A new effect in graphene in the presence of crossed uniform electric and magnetic fields is predicted. Landau levels are shown to be modified in an unexpected fashion by the electric field, leading to a collapse of the spectrum, when the value of electric to magnetic field ratio exceeds a certain critical value. Our t…
We report the fabrication of a roselike nanostructured vanadium oxide (V 2 O 5 ) film with photoinduced surface wettability switching by carrying out the drop-casting of a suspension of V 2 O 5 particles synthesized with the sol−gel method. Although a pure V 2 O 5 film is slightly hydrophilic, the addition of alkylami…
Carbonaceous purity assessment for chemical vapor deposition multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) using Raman spectroscopy was investigated. Raman spectroscopy was performed on a reference sample set containing predetermined ratios of MWNTs and representative synthesis by-products. Changes in the characteristic Raman…
ZnO nanowire (NW) visible-blind UV photodetectors with internal photoconductive gain as high as G approximately 108 have been fabricated and characterized. The photoconduction mechanism in these devices has been elucidated by means of time-resolved measurements spanning a wide temporal domain, from 10-9 to 102 s, reve…

This work reduces the computation cost of the C method by taking into account the symmetries of grating grooves. All one-dimensionally periodic, single-interface, surface-relief gratings are classified into five categories according to the symmetries of the planar periodic curves describing the interface. The five cat…
A quarter-wavelength absorber structure was developed for pyroelectric detector applications in the 2.5–3.5μm range. The absorber consisting of Pt and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposited SiO2 layers was fabricated using standard clean-room processes. It exhibited a minimum reflectance of 2%.
ZnO microspheres, with surfaces covered with nanowalls, as well as nano- and microrods, have been grown by thermal treatment of ZnS powder. The structures have been grown at temperatures in the range of 750−900 °C in a catalyst-free process. Previous mechanical treatment of the ZnS powder by ball milling has been foun…
We present a study of a family of 40 unique hydroxylated β-cristobalite surfaces generated by cleaving the β-cristobalite unit cell along crystallographic planes to include a combination of several low Miller index surfaces. The surface silicon atoms are quantified as percentages of Q 2 and Q 3 centers based on their…
The effect of a remote oxygen plasma on nanocomposite hybrid polymer thin films of poly[(propylmethacryl-heptaisobutyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsequioxane)-co-(methylmethacrylate)] (POSS-MA) has been examined by advancing contact angle, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsome…
2-Pyranone-annulated trans -stilbene, viz., 4-methyl-7-styrylcoumarin ( 4 ), crystallizes in two photoreactive plate- and needle-like crystal modifications, each of which undergoes topochemically controlled stereospecific double [2+2] photocycloaddition to afford a strained tricyclic paracyclophane 6 in an isolated yi…
