When a film of poly[2-(4-phenylazophenyloxy)ethyl methacrylate] is subjected to irradiation with nonpolarized 436 nm light for n-π* excitation at an oblique incident angle with respect to a film surface, dichroism is induced as a result of the reorientation of azobenzene chromophores. The orientational direction is de…

We report a new stress-induced kinetically driven morphological instability for driven systems. The effect of stress on the interfacial mobility couples to stress variations along a perturbed planar growth front. Comparison of theory and experiment for solid phase epitaxy at a corrugated Si(001) interface, with no fre…

Carbon nitride (CN) thin films were prepared at 600 °C by rf plasma pulsed laser deposition. As we increased the magnitude of the negative dc bias voltage, the CN bonds were transformed from a mixture of sp2 C–N and sp3 C–N states into a CN phase predominated by tetrahedral CN bonds. A biasing threshold of this transf…

We have observed strong emission lines at 5.27 and 5.12 eV at room temperature in cathodoluminescence spectra from homoepitaxial diamond films grown by step-flow mode prepared with microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition. The temperature dependence of integrated intensity of the emission lines indicates th…

Optical absorption spectra of the -doped fluorophosphate glasses 75 (A = Mg, Ca, Ba, Zn), 75 and 58 have been recorded. The dipole strengths are parametrized in terms of three phenomenological Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters ( , 4 and 6). With the knowledge of these intensity parameters, the probability for spontaneou…

Na 0.5 K 0.5 NbO 3 thin films have been grown on LaAlO3(001) substrates using rf magnetron sputtering from a Na and K enriched target. X-ray diffraction showed that the films are epitaxial with mosaic broadening as narrow as 0.044°. Interdigital Au finger electrodes were photolithographically defined on the film surfa…

We report on the observation of luminescence during electron field emission on singlewall and multiwall carbon nanotubes. Spectra acquired at different emitted currents, as well as the dependence of the luminescence intensity with the current, show that the light emission is not due to blackbody radiation or to curren…

With increasing number of bound dicarboxylic acid molecules, the binding of further molecules by the title compound becomes more favorable (a 1:4 complex is depicted schematically on the right). The association constant for binding of the first guest molecule is small, since the increase in Gibbs free energy due to bi…

We Study in this paper the scaling and statistical properties of the $ac$ conductivity of thin metal-dielectric films in different regions of the loss in the metallic components and particularly in the limit of vanishing loss. We model the system by a 2D $RL-C$ network and calculate the effective conductivity by using…

Temperature dependent optical conductivity spectra of a ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{0.3}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ (LCMO) sample were measured. In the metallic regime at very low temperatures, they clearly showed two types of absorption features, i.e., a sharp Drude peak and a broad midinfrared absorption band, which…

Method of invariants is used to obtain effective kp-Hamiltonian with position-dependent band parameters and correct boundary conditions for electron and hole envelope functions in A3B5-heterostructures with arbitrary interface orientation. It is shown that the presence of heterointerface yields additional quadratic-in…

We report on the field emission properties of single-wall carbon nanotube films, with emphasis on current–versus–voltage (I–V) characteristics and current stability. The films are excellent field emitters, yielding current densities higher than 10 mA cm−2 with operating voltages that are far lower than for other film…

Thermodynamics and transport properties of a dissipative particle in a tight-binding model are studied through specific heat and optical conductivity. A weak coupling theory is constituted to study the crossover behavior between the low-temperature region and the high-temperature region analytically. We found that coh…
