We have determined the thermal resistance for transferring heat between individual single-walled carbon nanotube devices and solid substrates. Using sapphire and comparing our results to previous results obtained from SiO2, we find that the resistance is dominated by interfacial resistance rather than the spreading re…
Abstract Summary: Acetamide‐plasticized SPI sheets, denoted SAm, were prepared by compress molding at 140 °C and 20 MPa. The compatibility between acetamide and SPI has been investigated by DSC, WXRD, optical transmittance and SEM. Strong hydrogen bonding interaction between SPI and acetamide was evidenced by FT‐IR sp…
Abstract Summary: Fiberboards were prepared using phenolic type resins (phenol‐formaldehyde) and sugarcane bagasse fibers. Lignin extracted through an organosolv process from sugarcane bagasse was used as substitute of phenol in phenolic resins from 40 (lignin‐phenol‐formaldehyde) to 100 wt.‐% (lignin‐formaldehyde) su…
Phase selective growth of rhombohedral and cubic indium oxide polytypes was studied. The selective growth of different polytypes was achieved by adjusting substrate temperature and trimethylindium flow rate during metal organic chemical vapor deposition on c-plane sapphire. The optical band gaps of the cubic and rhomb…
We report a simple method for fabricating heterostructured ZnMgO nanowires by annealing the preformed ZnO∕MgO core-shell structure. Photoluminescence from the alloy nanowires shows strong near-band-edge (NBE) emission, reflecting good material quality. A blueshift of the NBE emission at room temperature after the anne…
Multilevel conductance switching in poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV) films is demonstrated. A thin-film structure, ITO-coated glass/MEH-PPV/Al, has shown the ability to store a continuum of conductance states. These states are nonvolatile and can be switched reproducibly by applyi…
Abstract Summary: Polyolefin surfaces, namely isotactic poly(propylene) (iPP) and low‐density polyethylene (LDPE), were modified by corona discharge plasma. The chemical changes on the modified surfaces were observed, deeply affecting the surface and the adhesive properties of the studied materials. The hydrophobic re…
Single-crystal β-SiC nanowires coated with amorphous SiO2 were synthesized by a simple thermal evaporation technique. The photocatalytic activity of the SiC nanowires was characterized by measuring the photodegradation rate of acetaldehyde catalyzed by SiC as a function of UV irradiation time. It exhibited excellent p…
Boundary conditions are derived that determine the penetration of spin current through an interface of two non-collinear ferromagnets with an arbitrary angle between their magnetization vectors. We start from the well-known transformation properties of an electron spin wave functions under the rotation of a quantizati…
A method for the observation of the Knight shift in nanometer-scale region in semiconductors is developed using resistively detected nuclear magnetic resonance (RDNMR) technique in quantum Hall edge channels. Using a gate-induced decoupling of the hyperfine interaction between electron and nuclear spins, we obtain the…
We calculate the magnetization hysteresis for an ordered array of composite magnetic nanoparticles with a ferromagnetic (FM) core and an antiferromagnetic (AFM) shell, located on a triangular lattice and coupled via magnetostatic forces. Each nanoparticle is described by a pair of exchange-coupled (J), anisotropic spi…
The dynamics of planar crack fronts in heterogeneous media is studied using a recently proposed stochastic equation of motion that takes into account nonlinear effects. The analysis is carried for a moving front in the quasi-static regime using the Self Consistent Expansion. A continuous dynamical phase transition bet…
Growth and roughness of the interface of deposited polymer chains driven by a field onto an impenetrable adsorbing surface are studied by computer simulations in (2+1) dimensions. The evolution of the interface width W shows a crossover from short-time growth described by the exponent beta1 to a long-time growth with…
We study the structural, dynamical and electronic properties of amorphous Si\sub{1-x}Ge\sub{x}:H alloys using first principles local basis molecular dynamics simulation. The network topology and defects in the amorphous network have been analyzed. Structural changes and an increase in number of defects have been found…
The thermodynamics properties of the wurtzite and zinc-blende \InGaN alloys are calculated using first-principles density-functional calculations. Special quasi-random structures are used to describe the disordered alloys, for $x= 1/4, 1/2$, and 3/4. The effect of lattice vibrations on the phase diagram, commonly omit…
The submitted Comment is based on using an isolated quantum dot approach to discuss the situation where the coupling to the leads is considerable (not negligible). This finite lead coupling is the situation in most molecular transport junctions. In such situations the population on the molecule is not static and dynam…
The Ga vacancy mediated microstructure evolution of (Ga,Mn)As during growth and postgrowth annealing is studied using a multiscale approach. The migration barriers for the Ga vacancies and substitutional Mn together with their interactions are calculated using first principles, and temporal evolution at temperatures 2…
Abstract Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes are prepared by in situ polymerization. Infrared absorbance studies reveal covalent bonding between polymer strands and the nanotubes. These treated nanotubes are blended with pure PMMA in solution before drop‐casting to form composi…
Abstract We demonstrate nanoscale architectures in real biominerals and their biomimetics. Mimicking biomineralization, that is, crystal design in association with organic molecules, has been demonstrated in recent years. Although the macroscopic morphologies in real biominerals and biomimetics have been extensively s…
In this paper I will describe some results that have been recently obtained in the study of random Euclidean matrices, i.e. matrices that are functions of random points in Euclidean space. In the case of translation invariant matrices one generically finds a phase transition between a phonon phase and a saddle phase.…
