A high density ferroelectric memory process flow requires the integration of conducting barrier layers to connect the drain of the pass-gate transistor to the bottom electrode of the ferroelectric stack. We are studying the effect of crystallinity of the TiN/Pt barrier layer with Si wafers on the ferroelectric propert…

We show that the large electrical-field-induced strain response observed in certain polyurethane elastomers is a thin-film effect. Based on the frequency dispersion of the strain response in samples with different thicknesses and the thermally stimulated discharge current on samples with different processing condition…

Europium doped yttrium oxide (Eu:Y2O3) phosphor thin films were grown using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique at varying growth conditions. The structural characterization carried out on a series of Eu:Y2O3 films grown on (100) silicon at substrate temperatures in the range of 250–600 °C and oxygen pressure in…

We calculate cohesive properties of LiF, NaF, KF, LiCl, NaCl, and KCl with ab-initio quantum chemical methods. The coupled-cluster approach is used to correct the Hartree-Fock crystal results for correlations and to systematically improve cohesive energies, lattice constants and bulk moduli. After inclusion of correla…

We report on large scale numerical simulations of fracture surfaces using random fuse networks for two very different disorders. There are some properties and exponents that are different for the two distributions, but others, notably the roughness exponents, seem universal. For the universal roughness exponent we fou…

We perform molecular dynamics simulations of friction for atomically thin Xe films sliding on Ag(111). We determine the inverse of the coefficient of friction (i.e. slip time) by direct calculation of the decay of the center of mass velocity after applying an external force, as well as from the velocity autocorrelatio…

X-ray measurements show that GeO2 and Ge nanocrystals with a radius from 25 down to 1.5 nm are formed in an oxide matrix after annealing. Under ultraviolet excitation, both types of films luminesce around 3.1 eV, with identical photoluminescence (PL) line shapes and subnanosecond PL dynamics. The strongest PL intensit…

We present an exact formulation of the physics of Barnett relaxation. Our formulation is based on a realistic kinetic model of the relaxation mechanism, which includes the alignment of the grain angular momentum in body coordinates by Barnett dissipation, disalignment by thermal fluctuations, and coupling of the angul…

A novel method is used to study topological and molecular structure of different kinds of sulfur (mineral and two polymeric types). It is based on thermomechanical analysis of solid (not dissolved) polymer. It was found that a deep difference in their molecular weight distributions and in their crystallinity degrees e…

Two- and three-layer composite latex particles were used to prepare rubber-toughened poly(methyl methacrylate) (RT-PMMA). The interfacial thicknesses of the multi-layered particles were varied by using different emulsion polymerization synthesis techniques. The resulting interphases were previously characterized by 13…

The effect of process parameters on the conversion, P, and current efficiency, η, for the aqueous electropolymerization of pyrrole on low-carbon steel has been investigated. The amount of polypyrrole coatings formed on steel, Wp, increased with the charge passed, Q, and the initial pyrrole concentration [M], but was u…

A structural phase transformation in the CuO_2 planes of YBa_2Cu_3O_x has been observed at the onset of the overdoped regime, x=6.95. We have measured as a function of x the dimpling in the CuO_2 planes by EXAFS, and the O2,3 in-phase (A_1g) mode by Raman scattering. The data show for x>6.95 anomalously large static d…

In PbTe wide parabolic quantum wells (WPQW) a plateau-like structure is observed in the Hall resistance, which corresponds to the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in the same manner as known from the quantum Hall effect. At the same time a non-local signal is observed which corresponds to the structure in Rxx and Rxy. W…
