We have extended the chemical bath deposition technique modified by microwave irradiation to rapidly deposit ternary oxide Eu:YVO 4 thin films. The obtained films are dense, adherent, and mirror-like. Structure (XRD), morphological (TEM), and optical (UV–vis–NIR and PL) characterizations of the films are presented. Th…
Among the several approaches developed for the fabrication of molecular crystals with noncentrosymmetric lattices, incorporation of chirality is the only one which guarantees it for fundamental symmetry reasons. One of the few quadratic nonlinear optical chromophores which form a large number of noncentric cocrystals/…
Hollow silica spheres with large mesopore wall structures have been synthesized via CO(2)-in-water emulsion templating in the presence of PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymers under supercritical fluid conditions.
The first-order monoclinic-to-orthorhombic (beta-->gamma) phase transition of the giant magnetocaloric material Gd(5)Si(2)Ge(2) was studied using in situ high-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A special crystal mounting procedure was developed to avoid crystal contamination by oxygen or nitrogen at high te…
Abstract A theory of the fracture of polymers with network microstructure was developed that was based on the vector, or rigidity percolation (RP) model of Kantor and Webman, in which the modulus, E , is related to the lattice bond fraction p , via E ∼ [ p − p c ] τ . The Hamiltonian for the lattice was replaced by th…
We have studied, in real time, the evolution of a thin (less than 200Å) copper film deposited onto an oxidized silicon surface using reflection high-energy electron diffraction. We show that quantitative measurements of island size and shape as functions of time are possible and the results are presented. While the fi…
Abstract A substantial approach to one‐dimensional (1D) electrically conductive composites was proposed which was based on the thermodynamic analysis of electric‐field‐induced particle alignment in a nonpolar thermoplastic polymer matrix. The process condition window was based on the real‐time exploration of dynamic p…
The dielectric behavior and the features of the diffused phase transition of the SrpSm6−pTi8−pNb2+pO30(p=4,5) ceramics were investigated together with their structure. Both Sr5SmTi3Nb7O30 and Sr4Sm2Ti4Nb6O30 had tungsten bronze structure and weak ferroelectric nature. Though Sr5SmTi3Nb7O30 showed the diffused ferroele…
The effect of 200MeV Ag ion irradiation on structural, electrical transport, magnetization, and low-frequency conduction noise properties of electron-doped La0.7Ce0.3MnO3 thin films have been investigated. The as-grown thin films show c-axis epitaxial structure along with a small amount of unreacted CeO2 phase. After…
We have investigated transport properties of carriers excited in high-quality homoepitaxial diamond (100) films by 5.6eV photons or 15keV electrons. The high-quality single-crystalline diamond films were homoepitaxially grown on type-Ib diamond substrates at a rate of 2.5μm∕h by high-power microwave-plasma chemical-va…
The chemical properties and electronic structures of atomically flat SrTiO3(001) substrates with various surface treatments have been investigated by high-resolution synchrotron-radiation photoemission spectroscopy. We have found that an annealing process causes the segregation of Sr oxides at the TiO2-terminated surf…
Abstract Polypropylene‐layered silicate nanocomposites consisting of three components—pure polypropylene, maleated polypropylene, and organically modified silicate—were prepared by the melt‐intercalation method to investigate melt‐extensional properties such as melt strength, neck‐in test, and orientation behavior. Th…
We report how convective assembly at high volume fraction combined with thermal treatment allows robust fabrication of gold nanocoatings whose structure can be varied and correlated to their optical properties and conductance. Uniform films of gold nanoparticles were deposited directly from aqueous suspensions, where…
This research focuses on the disruption of the gram-negative bacterium Ralstonia eutropha cells by supercritical CO2 for poly(R-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) recovery. The variables affecting cell disruption such as drying strategy, type of modifier, and cultivation time, as well as operating pressure, temperature, and repea…
A synthesis method for the production of amorphous metallic foam is introduced. This method utilizes the thermodynamic stability and thermoplastic formability of the supercooled liquid state to produce low-density amorphous metallic foams in dimensions that are not limited to the critical casting thickness. The method…
A high-vacuum plasma-assisted chemical-vapor deposition system was used to systematically study ZnO:N thin film synthesis. Nitrogen doping was achieved by mixing either N2O or N2 with O2 in a high-density inductively coupled plasma (ICP) source. In situ diagnostics showed that the ICP composition was predominantly a f…
This research investigated the expansion behavior of extruded polycarbonate (PC) foams blown with supercritical (sc) CO 2 to achieve low-density microcellular foams. The expansion behavior of PC foam was interpreted by the amount of gas retained in the cell structure in consideration of cell opening, cell-to-cell diff…
An intense infrared absorption band has been observed in a hydrothermally grown ZnO crystal. At 12K, the band peaks near 3577.3cm−1 and has a half width of 0.40cm−1, and at 300K, the band peaks at 3547cm−1 and has a half width of 41.3cm−1. This absorption band is highly polarized, with its maximum intensity occurring…
We report structure-property correlations in single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) fibers, among electrical, thermal, and chemical parameters with respect to stretch-induced preferential SWNT alignment along the fiber axis. Purified HiPco (high-pressure CO) conversion tubes are dispersed with the aid of an anionic surfac…
Strong attractive interaction between two clean diamond (001) slabs turns repulsive upon the hydrogenation of surfaces. This repulsive interaction serves as if a boundary lubricant and prevents the sliding surfaces from being closer to each other even under high normal forces. As a result, calculated lateral force var…
