In this paper, we report on a novel material: nanostructured CdS:O film prepared at room temperature by rf sputtering, and its application in CdTe solar cells. The CdS:O film has a higher optical bandgap (2.5–3.1 eV) than the poly-CdS film and a nanostructure; the bandgap increases with an increase of oxygen content (…

In the selection of materials required by any work on Architectural Heritage, a series of special requirements must be borne in mind which are essential to guarantee the application of the repairs. In this work the guidelines and basic criteria for the selection of repair mortars that have led to the design of mortars…

In this work the analytical model explaining the losses in the known two-phase lattice of D. Smith, S. Schultz and R. Shelby representing a uniaxial variant of left-handed medium (LHM) at microwaves is presented. The role of electromagnetic interaction between split-ring resonators (SRRs) and straight wires leading to…

The incremental stress-strain relation of dense packings of polygons is investigated here by using molecular dynamics simulations. The comparison of the simulation results to the continuous theories is performed using explicit expressions for the averaged stress and strain over a representative volume element. The dis…

Abstract Recent studies on the azo-group-combined photochromic metal complexes are reviewed. These studies show unique trans–cis isomerization behaviors that have not been observed in regular organic azobenzenes. In the case of azobenzene-bound bis(terpyridine) complexes of transition metals, photoisomerization behavi…

Abstract A solution‐dipping template strategy for large‐area synthesis of morphology‐controlled, ordered pore arrays is reported. The morphology of the pore array can easily be controlled by concentration of the precursor solution and treatment conditions. With decrease of the concentration from a high level to a very…

In this paper, the formation, chemistry, morphology, and corrosion protection of a new type of inorganic conversion coating is described. This coating, referred to as a vanadate conversion coating (VCC), forms on aluminum alloy substrates in a matter of minutes during simple immersion in aqueous vanadate-based solutio…

A commercial submicrometer BaTiO 3 powder was analyzed using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The analysis revealed the powder surfaces to be covered with a layer of physisorbed H 2 O and chemisorbed –OH ions. A BaCO 3 residual not detected with XPS was shown to be present in the powder using X‐ray diffraction, sugge…

Bayer process red muds are highly alkaline, and their disposal and potential for reuse are complicated by high concentrations of sodium, high pH, and high alkalinity. Several methods of neutralization of red muds have been reported including: infiltration of rainwater and atmospheric CO2, treatment with strong acids,…

We discuss the methods to calculate the roughness exponent alpha and the dynamic exponent z from the scaling properties of the local roughness, which is frequently used in the analysis of experimental data. Through numerical simulations, we studied the Family, the restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS), the Das Sarma-Tambor…

We theoretically investigate disorder effects on the ferromagnetic transition ('Curie') temperature $T_c$ in dilute III$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$V magnetic semiconductors (e.g. Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As) where a small fraction ($x \approx 0.01-0.1$) of the cation atoms (e.g. Ga) are randomly replaced by the magnetic dopants (e.g. Mn), l…

In sandwiches of FeK and FeCs the conduction electrons in the alkali metals have a large mean free path. The experiments suggest that the specular reflection for spin up and down electrons is different at the interface yielding a spin current in the alkali film. The spin current is detected by the anomalous Hall effec…

Magnetic, transport, and specific heat measurements have been performed on layered metallic oxide Na$_{1.5}$Co$_2$O$_4$ as a function of temperature $T$. Below a characteristic temperature $T^*$=30$-$40 K, electrical resistivity shows a metallic conductivity with a $T^2$ behavior and magnetic susceptibility deviates f…
