Technetium is intimately linked with nuclear reactions. The ultraminute natural levels in the environment are due to the spontaneous fission of uranium isotopes. The discovery of technetium was born from accelerator reactions, and its use and presence in the modern world are directly due to nuclear reactors. While occ…

Abstract 1,3‐Dimethyldisiloxane, O(SiH 2 Me) 2 , diethyl ether, OEt 2 , and their metal complexes (Li + ,Ag + ) have been used as model systems to uncover the reasons underlying the lower Lewis basicity of siloxanes compared to analogous ethers. Bonding in the metal complexes has been analyzed with quantum theory of a…

We observe that an Au interlayer markedly enhances the electrical field emission (EFE) properties of ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) films on Si substrates. The EFE properties of UNCD/Au/Si films can be turned on at a lower field and attain a higher current density than in UNCD films grown on Si substrates without…

The recent development of X-ray free-electron laser sources has created new opportunities for the structural analysis of protein nanocrystals. The extremely small sizes of the crystals, as well as imperfections of the crystal structure, result in an interference phenomenon in the diffraction pattern. With decreasing c…

We report the fabrication technique and optical properties of multilayered two-dimensional (2D) gold nanoparticle sheets ("Au nanosheet"). The 2D crystalline monolayer sheet composed of Au nanoparticles shows an absorption peak originating from a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). It was found that the absorp…

Refrigeration by an active magnetic regenerative system (AMR) is potentially more attractive, as compared to conventional techniques. Indeed, devices based upon an AMR cycle are more efficient, compact, environment-friendly and can operate over a broad range of temperatures. In this paper, attention is focused to the…

The current study reports the fabrication and characterization of superhydrophobic surfaces with increasing nanoroughness by decreasing silica nanoparticle size in a sol–gel matrix. Using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements allowed for the direct quantification of air entrapped at the interface, revealing…

The chemical diffusion coefficient (Dchem) of epitaxial LSC thin films was measured by a newly designed conductivity relaxation method. Dchem of epitaxial thin films was found to be higher than that of bulk LSC by up to two orders of magnitude, and was found to be enhanced further as the film became thinner.

High-Contrast Gratings (HCG) are modeled in a rigorous way by a new mode-matching approach. They are highly attractive because they have recently proved suitable to replace distributed Bragg mirrors in Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs). Through a change of basis from plane to cylindrical waves, the gene…

In this study, we examined the low substrate temperature (Ts) growth mechanism of Ag thin films in the atomic shadowing regime (Ts ≪ melting point Tm). The Ag thin films were deposited using glancing angle deposition (GLAD) at different substrate temperatures varying from 320 K to 100 K. Interestingly, it is observed…
