We present an experimental and theoretical study of the conduction states of crystalline Si films confined within amorphous SiO_2 barriers, using the Si-2p core-level excitations. The spectral peaks near the conduction band minimum are compared with the bulk silicon spectrum. In the Si quantum wells, it is found that…
Performing light scattering experiments we show that introducing short-ranged attraction to a colloid suspension of nearly hard spheres by addition of a free polymer produces new glass-transition phenomena. We observe a dramatic acceleration of the density fluctuations amounting to the melting of a colloidal glass. Up…
The science of surface and colloid chemistry has been expanding at a rapid pace, resulting in new areas of development, additional applications, and more theoretical and experimental information on related systems. Completely revised and expanded to reflect the very active worldwide research on this subject, this is t…
Temperature-dependent measurements of luminescent intensity and lifetimes of the ${4f}^{2}{[}^{1}{\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{{S}_{0}}}^{1}{I}_{6}]$ and ${4f}^{1}{5d}^{1}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{4f}^{2}$ emission for ${\mathrm{BaSO}}_{4}:{\mathrm{Pr}}^{3+}$ were performed. It was found that the intensity of th…
We investigate the electromagnetic mechanism in surfaceenhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from randomly rough metal surfaces with Gaussian statistics and Gaussian correlation function. By means of rigorous numerical calculations, large average SERS enhancement factors (above 104) are encountered when the correlation len…
Highly ordered organic–inorganic nanocomposite arrays formed by filling anodized aluminum oxide nanopores (50 nm size) with Rhodamine 123 (Rh123) dye has been studied by visible absorptive, fluorescent spectroscopy, and atomic force/scanning electron microscopy techniques in this work. The absorbance and fluorescence…
A simple thermal treatment has been used to produce a variety of elongated single crystalline magnesium oxide nanostructures. Incipient evaporation of a magnesium diboride starting powder combined with a mixed oxygen/argon process gas provided the constituents for nanostructure growth. Electron diffraction and energy…
Abstract Adhesion of dense linear polymer chains containing a small number of randomly distributed sticker groups (ϕ X ) to a solid substrate containing receptor groups (ϕ Y ) has been analyzed by a single‐chain scaling approach. An entanglement sink probability (ESP) model motivated by vector percolation explains the…
Composite thin films of (La0.7Sr0.3MnO3)1−x:(MgO)x (x=0–0.5) were grown on Al2O3 (0001) substrates by a metalorganic aerosol deposition technique. A columnar growth of the films with the predominance of (111)- and (1̄10)-orientation was observed. Pure films (x=0) show a Curie temperature of TC=362 K, a metallic behavi…
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of lithium metasilicate $({\mathrm{Li}}_{2}{\mathrm{SiO}}_{3})$ in the glassy and supercooled liquid states have been performed to illustrate the decay with time of the cages that confine individual ${\mathrm{Li}}^{+}$ ions before they hop out to diffuse cooperatively with each othe…
Abstract A set of well‐defined poly(ethylene‐ alt ‐propylene)‐ b ‐polylactide (PEP‐PLA) diblock copolymers containing volume fractions of PLA ( f PLA ) ranging between 0.08 and 0.91 were synthesized by a combination of living anionic polymerization, catalytic hydrogenation, and controlled coordination‐insertion ring‐o…
We have measured the site-specific valence electronic structure of $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ by using a spatially modulated x-ray standing wave as the excitation source for photoemission. Contributions to the valence-band density of states from oxygen and iron ions are separa…
The loss factor (tan δ) of ferroelectric material at microwaves and the tunability (n) defined as a ratio of the dielectric permittivity at zero dc field to the dielectric permittivity at the given field are strongly connected with the softness of so-called ferroelectric soft mode. The loss factor and the tunability a…
a- and b-axis-oriented epitaxial Bi4Ti3O12 films were prepared on (101)TiO2 (rutile) substrates at 630 °C by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition and their perfect epitaxial growths were confirmed by several x-ray diffraction measurements. As the bottom electrode, (101)-oriented conductive materials with the same ru…
The Heusler alloys are a group of magnetic materials that will form essential components in hybrid, ferromagnet–semiconductor devices that utilize spin injection. We demonstrate that such an alloy, Co2MnGa:GaAs(001) is ferromagnetic at 300 K and has controllable magnetic properties. A weak in-plane uniaxial anisotropy…
We investigate the electro-optical properties of polymer stabilized nematic liquid crystals produced by in situ photopolymerization technique using Gaussian laser beam. The distribution of refractive index in such structure under the action of a homogeneous electric field reveals a non-homogeneous lens-like character,…
Based on first-principles theoretical calculations, we find that on pristine single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT's), the dissociative adsorption of ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ molecules is severely suppressed due to very high energy barriers of about 3 eV, while H atoms have low-energy barriers less than 0.3 eV. On Li-doped SWN…
Nanoclusters of crystalline SnO2 have been grown in glass, starting from tin-doped silica prepared by a sol–gel method. Based upon a particular choice of molecular precursors, nanocrystallites with a mean radius of about 1 nm and a quite narrow size dispersion were obtained, resulting in wide-band-gap (>4 eV) q…
Double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNT's) have been studied by Raman scattering using different excitation wavelengths and their spectra compared to those of single wall nanotubes (SWNT's) and ${\mathrm{C}}_{60}$-SWNT peapods. Raman scattering from the radial and tangential vibrational modes of very small diameter $d\ensu…
We have investigated the thermodynamic and kinetic barriers involved in the synthesis of MgB2 films. This work refines our initial conjectures predicting optimal MgB2 thin film growth conditions as a consequence of the unusually large kinetic barrier to MgB2 decomposition. The small Mg sticking coefficient at temperat…
