A charge-induced reversible variation of the paramagnetic susceptibility χ of Pd is reported. In situ charging was performed by means of a nanocrystallite-electrolyte composite. The charge-induced variation of χ is analyzed taking into account the modification of the charge carrier density by surface charging and the…

Magnetic and transport properties were investigated in Zn0.94Mn0.03Co0.03O thin films prepared by dual radio frequency magnetron sputtering technique. A negative magnetoresistance (MR=[ρ(H)−ρ(0)]∕ρ(0)) of −95% at 2K and a positive MR of 48% at 10K were established in the films. The anomalous magnetic and magnetic-rela…

Porous chiral thin films composed of a nearly hexagonal-close-packed array of helical nanorods of tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) are fabricated using glancing angle deposition and exhibit a one-dimensional polarization-dependent photonic stop band. These chiral thin films transmit only one handedness of cir…

It is well known that overdamped unforced dynamical systems do not oscillate. However, well-designed coupling schemes, together with the appropriate choice of initial conditions, can induce oscillations (corresponding to transitions between the stable steady states of each nonlinear element) when a control parameter e…

Abstract Summary: The phase development mechanism during drawing from a highly entangled melt of ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene is analyzed by simultaneous measurements of in situ X‐ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation and stress/strain behavior. The stress/strain curve exhibits a plateau region at th…

The behavior of rod-coil diblock copolymers close to a surface is discussed by using extended scaling methods. The copolymers are immersed in selective solvent such that the rods are likely to aggregate to gain energy. The rods are assumed to align only parallel to each other, such that they gain a maximum energy by f…

The puzzling behavior of space charge inside solid dielectrics has been revealed by space charge measurement techniques. In particular, positive and negative “charge packets” propagating through the bulk with a repetitive character are thought to be related to prebreakdown mechanisms. Here, we investigated the space c…

The magnetic and magnetotransport properties of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/Permalloy heterostructures are investigated. La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 films were grown on (110) SrTiO3 in order to induce an in-plane anisotropy with the easy axis along the [001] direction. An easy axis of magnetization was induced in the Permalloy in the same dire…

Collective magnetic excitation of the single-chain magnet (SCM) has been observed using high-frequency electron spin resonance (ESR). The observed ESR mode is attributed to the spin wave excitation with strong magnetic anisotropy where its temperature dependence shows the continuous evolution of the short-range spin c…

The influence of local Coulomb correlations on the surface electronic structure of ${\mathrm{SrVO}}_{3}$, a strongly-correlated metal in a perovskite structure, is investigated for both the $\mathrm{SrO}$-layer and ${\mathrm{VO}}_{2}$-layer-terminated (001) surfaces. The electronic structure within the local density a…

We investigate, using molecular dynamics, the effect on the radial breathing mode (RBM) frequency of immersion in water for a range of single-walled carbon nanotubes. We find that nanotube-water interactions are responsible for an upshift in the RBM frequency of the order of 4-10 wave numbers. The upshift is comprised…
