Single phase powders of BaTi2O5 and Ba6Ti17O40 were made by a sol-gel method with final heating at 1100–1200°C. Ceramic samples were prepared and fired at temperatures in the range 1100–1300°C. Both sets were highly insulating, with conductivities of, e.g., 10−6–10−7Scm−1 at 600°C and activation energies for conductio…

Analytical ultracentrifugation (AU) provides a general way to probe the polydispersity of nanoparticles and the formation of bioconjugates in solution. Unconjugated gold nanocrystals show sedimentation coefficient distributions that are in agreement with size distributions as measured by TEM. AU is sensitive to the si…

Effects of pulsed and continuous light illumination on field emission from CuO nanobelt arrays have been studied by using a transparent anode technique. It is found that, at low-field emission current level, the field emission current generally increases under a pulsed irradiation; at an emission current level of 1.1μ…

Raman scattering at room temperature is reported in Zn1−xMnxO nanoparticles for the range of 0⩽x⩽0.15. The effect of compositional disorder is obtained by analyzing the broadening and asymmetry of the first-order E2(high) phonon mode. It is found that the Raman line shapes for the ZnO E2(high) phonon in Zn1−xMnxO allo…

We clarified the adsorption sites inside the single-wall carbon nanohorns (SWNHs), a type of single-wall carbon nanotubes having thick diameters of 2-5 nm, through the thermogravimetric analysis of the desorption of xylene and benzene from SWNHs. The influence of the sizes of holes piercing through the SWNH walls was…

Magnetotransport properties of La1−xCaxMnO3 (x=0.33, 0.5) thin films on different substrates are systematically studied. Due to the different lattice-substrate mismatch between films and substrates, compressive, and tensile epitaxial strain can be induced, respectively. The structure distortion induced by the strain w…

The binding sites and vibrational frequencies ω of H in ZnO are studied by first-principles total-energy calculations. In the past, different experiments have observed different primary H vibrational modes, making the comparison with theory, and hence the identification of the most favorable H site, difficult. Here, w…
