The ZnO-LiYbO(2) hybrid phosphors were sintered by the solid-state reaction method, in which the intense near-infrared emission around 1000 nm due to Yb(3+ 2)F(5/2)-->(2)F(7/2) transition was obtained due to the efficient energy transfer from ZnO to Yb(3+) ions. The growth of the LiYbO(2) crystal and the formation of…

Abstract The microstructural evolution, microhardness, tensile properties and impact toughness of Ti‐5Al‐2Sn‐2Zr‐4Mo‐4Cr (Ti17) alloy joints welded by linear friction welding (LFW) are investigated. A narrow, sound weld is formed, consisting of a superfine α + β structure in the weld center. The structure gradually ch…

We measured the Seebeck coefficient of heavily P-doped silicon-on-insulator layers with P concentrations above 1×1019 cm−3. The coefficient decreased with increasing P concentration, and with a peak of the Seebeck coefficient around 5×1019 cm−3. We calculated the density-of-states (DOS) of bulk Si based on theoretical…

We report the observation of a biaxial nematic phase in a bent-core molecular system using polarizing microscopy, electro-optics, and dielectric spectroscopy, where we find that the biaxiality exists on a microscopic scale. An application of electric field induces a macroscopic biaxiality and in consequence gives rise…

High-pressure extended x-ray absorption fine-structure measurements were performed on amorphous ${\text{GeO}}_{2}$ over increasing and decreasing pressure cycles at pressures up to 44 GPa. Several structural models based on crystalline phases with fourfold, fivefold, and sixfold coordination were used to fit the Ge-O…

Monodispersed metastable cubic AgInS2 nanocrystals with an average size of around 2.5 nm are obtained via a solution-phase reaction. In contrast with the usual chalcopyrite and orthorhombic phase, Ag+ and In3+ cations in metastable cubic AgInS2 are randomly coordinated by four S2− anions. A phase transition from catio…

We study short-time diffusion properties of colloidal suspensions of neutral permeable particles. An individual particle is modeled as a solvent-permeable sphere of interaction radius a and uniform permeability k, with the fluid flow inside the particle described by the Debye-Bueche-Brinkman equation, and outside by t…

Covalent grafting of biomolecules is a strategy to improve the biocompatibility and bioactivity of materials. However, it is critical to maintain the biological activity of the biomolecule upon its attachment to the surface. In the present study we compared the biological properties of chitosan, in which the surface w…

Hydrogen storage capacity by hydrogen spillover on metal-doped carbons can be significantly enhanced by introducing surface oxygen functional groups to the carbon. It is shown that the enhancement is greater by oxygen plasma treatment compared to air oxidation because different surface groups were formed. Oxygen plasm…
