A dielectric anomaly has been found near the incommensurate to commensurate antiferromagnetic phase transition (TN2≈230 K) in YBaCuFeO5 ceramics, a compound which crystallizes in an ordered perovskite structure. The existence of electric polarization below TN2 suggests the magnetism induced charge polarization effect…
Some results on damage build up in, and amorphization of, Si, induced by 25-30 keV Al$_5^-$, Si$_5^-$ and Cs$^-$ ions, at room temperature, are reported. We show that at low energy, amorphization is a nucleation and growth process, based on the direct impact mechanism. With an Avrami exponent $\sim 1.6$, the growth to…
We report the first magnetic-field-dependent Raman scattering studies on Pb(Zr,Ti)O3-CoFe2O4 bilayer multiferroic system. The phonon frequencies of the nano-bilayers obviously change with magnetic field, which is absent in the single Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 films. The magnetostriction of the CoFe2O4 layer generates stress mechani…
We demonstrate the fabrication of diodes having inkjet printed light emitting quantum dots layer. Close packing of printed layer is shown to be influenced by surface morphology of the underlying polymer layer and size variance of quantum dots used. We extend our approach to printing quantum dots onto a quarter video g…
The operation of four basic two-input logic gates fabricated with a single graphene transistor is demonstrated. Single-transistor operation is obtained in a circuit designed to exploit the charge neutrality point of graphene to perform Boolean logic. The type of logic function is selected by offset of the input digita…
It is fundamentally interesting to study the photoelectrochemical properties of complex oxides for applications in photovoltaics and photocatalysis. In this paper, we study the band gap (E(g)) and energetics of the conduction band (CB) and valence band (VB) for films of zinc stannate (Zn(2)SnO(4)) nanoparticles (ca. 2…
We describe the fabrication of ultralow-density carbon nanotube (CNT) foams that simultaneously exhibit high electrical conductivities and robust mechanical properties. Our approach utilizes carbon nanoparticles as a binder to crosslink randomly oriented bundles of single-walled CNTs. The resulting CNT foams are the s…
Many investigations about the cellular response by metal oxide nanoparticles in vitro have been reported. However, the influence of the adsorption ability of metal oxide nanoparticles toward cells is unknown. The aim of this study is to understand the influence of adsorption by metal oxide nanoparticles on the cell vi…
We have investigated the sensitization of nanoporous titanium dioxide by previously synthesized CdSe quantum dots (QDs) protected with trioctylphosphine. Covering the nanoporous TiO 2 films with QDs has been achieved using two strategies: (i) direct adsorption from dichoromethane dispersions and (ii) anchoring the QDs…
This study examined the imprint mechanism of a ferroelectric Pt/Pb(Zr,Ti)O3(150-nm-thick)/Pt capacitor using pulse switching transient current measurements. The progression of the imprint was well explained by the propagation of a localized charge injection area, where there was an increase in coercive voltage and int…
Lead zirconic titanate (PZT) microscale island (1 μm–100 nm) was fabricated by focused ion beam before its crystallization, followed by the annealing treatment at the crystallization temperature. Local electrical properties were evaluated by piezoresponse force microscopy technique. Compared to the PZT island fabricat…
Raman scattering and x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements of iodine-doped cationic type-I clathrate I8Sb8Ge38 have been carried out at 1 bar and high pressures of up to 50 GPa at room temperature, by using a diamond anvil cell. The guest-iodine rattling vibrations were observed in a low-frequency region of 53–58 cm−1…
Using the first-principle calculations, we investigate in detail the structure instability resulting from softening of the polar zone-center phonon mode [ferroelectric (FE) instability] and nonpolar zone-boundary mode [antiferrodistortive (AFD) instability] in cubic BaZrO3 (BZO) under hydrostatic pressure P from −20 t…
Sputtering losses of zinc oxide films prepared by radical assisted sputtering were studied. It was found that the sputtering loss can be very severe in oxygenous sputtering processes of zinc oxide films. In general, resputtering caused by negative oxygen ions dominates the sputtering loss, while diffuse deposition pla…
The growth and structure of Pt nanocrystals (NCs) formed by ion implantation in a-SiO2 has been investigated as a function of the annealing conditions. Transmission electron microscopy and small-angle x-ray scattering measurements demonstrate that the annealing ambient has a significant influence on NC size. Samples a…
Temperature-dependent reversal of the rectifying polarity has been observed in Au/TlGaSe2 Schottky junctions. To explain the experimental findings the important role of the tunneling current was taken into account. Besides, it was found that the temperature range, where the rectifying polarity reversal is observed, co…
In the framework of Landau–Devonshire thermodynamic theory, which is used in conventional ferroelectrics, we investigate the ferroelectric properties of the 1–3 type multiferroic BaTiO3–CoFe2O4 nanocomposite films. The films are epitaxial both in plane and out of plane with self-assembled hexagonal arrays of CoFe2O4 n…
Ba 0.7 Sr 0.3 TiO 3 (BST) thick films with thickness up to 1 μm were deposited on Pt-coated silicon substrates by ion beam sputtering, followed by an annealing treatment. It is demonstrated that pure well-crystallized perovskite phase could be obtained in thick BST films by a low temperature process (535 °C). The BST…
Polycrystalline SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) thin films were grown on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by pulsed laser ablation technique. Phase analyses of the deposited films were studied by grazing incidence x-ray diffraction. Microstructural and interfaces of the SBT film were investigated using a field emission scanning electron mic…
In this work, we use ultrafast optical pump-optical probe spectroscopy to probe the polaron dynamics in La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO) thin films. The temporal evolution in transient reflectivity change ΔR/R exhibits two relaxing components: a fast component with a time constant of subpicosecond and a slow component with time…
