Materials showing reversible resistance switching between high-resistance state and low-resistance state at room temperature are attractive for today’s semiconductor technology. In this letter, the improvement of reproducible hysteresis and resistive switching characteristics of metal-La0.7Ca0.3MnO3-metal (M-LCMO-M) h…
A Si metal-oxide-semiconductor electroluminescent device structure is reported which emits two colors, while being doped with a single rare-earth element. Thermally grown SiO2 oxide layers were implanted with Eu and subseqently annealed. Depending on the electrical excitation current, the luminescence is red or blue,…
Magnetoelectrically chiral media are studied in this paper as potential materials to realize double negative materials and negative refractive characteristics. The behaviors of the negative refractive index, the backward eigenwaves, and the impedance of these eigenmodes of this particular type of chiral media are exam…
Abstract High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) was melt extruded with different amounts of expanded graphite (EG) based masterbatches. Conductive composites were obtained by diluting PE and PS masterbatches with 60 wt% content of expanded graphite. These masterbatches were readily dispersed into the molten HDPE matrix yiel…
Abstract Despite many advantages of wood–polyethylene composites, the shortcomings of this kind of composite include relatively low modulus, low notched impact resistance, relatively large thermal expansion, as well as substantial creep. In this article, in addition to using maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene as co…
A microfocus x-ray tube that can generate x rays with the focal spot size less than 5μm has been demonstrated using carbon nanotube (CNT) field emitters. A CNT cathode on a sharp tungsten tip, a magnetic solenoid lens, and a transmission-type x-ray target were adopted for the microfocus x-ray tube. The design characte…
Magnetit in Form monodisperser superparamagnetischer kolloidaler Nanokristallcluster (CNCs; 30–180 nm groß) entsteht bei der Hydrolyse von FeCl3 bei hoher Temperatur und in Gegenwart eines Tensids (siehe Schema). Die Kombination aus Superparamagnetismus, hoher Magnetisierung und guter Dispergierbarkeit in Wasser empfi…
Keeping in shape: Quaternary alkylammonium compounds promote the formation of faceted quantum dots. Their use in hot-injection synthesis chemistry provides a new means to form uniform CdSe tetrapods without a selective precipitation step (see picture; TOPSe: trioctylphosphine selenide), and introduces the prospect of…
According to the mosaic scenario, relaxation in supercooled liquids is ruled by two competing mechanisms: surface tension, opposing the creation of local excitations, and entropy, providing the drive to the configurational rearrangement of a given region. We test this scenario through numerical simulations well below…
The environmental friendly lead-free perovskite BaZrxTi1−xO3 (x=0.35, 0.40, and 0.45) relaxor ceramics are developed for the tunable microwave device applications such as tunable filters, phase shifters, antennas, etc. Electric field dependence of dielectric behavior of the ceramic samples has been studied in the temp…
The onset of electrical percolation in nanotube-reinforced composites is often modeled by considering the geometric percolation of a system of penetrable, straight, rigid, capped cylinders, or spherocylinders, despite the fact that embedded nanotubes are not straight and do not penetrate one another. In Part I of this…
Solution-processed thin-film organic, inorganic, and hybrid photovoltaic devices have achieved power conversion efficiencies as high as 5%. However, these devices remain limited by their capture of visible energy; more than a half of the sun’s power lies in the infrared. Herein the authors demonstrate photovoltaic dev…
Plastic deformation of crystals proceeds through a sequence of intermittent slip avalanches with scale-free (power-law) size distribution. On macroscopic scales, however, plastic flow is known to be smooth and homogeneous. In this paper we use a recently proposed continuum model of slip avalanches to systematically in…
A recent, major, puzzle in the core-level photoemission spectra of doped manganites is the observation of a 1-2 eV wide shoulder with intensity varying with temperature T as the square of the magnetization over a T scale of order 200K, an order of magnitude less than electronic energies. This is addressed and resolved…
SQUID magnetometry and polarised neutron reflectivity measurements have been employed to characterise the magnetic properties of U/Fe, U/Co and U/Gd multilayers. The field dependence of the magnetisation was measured at 10K in magnetic fields from -70kOe to 70kOe. A temperature dependent study of the magnetisation evo…
Efficient injection of spin-polarized electrons into the conduction band of silicon is limited by the formation of a silicide at the ferromagnetic metal (FM)/silicon interface. In the present work, this "magnetically-dead" silicide (where strong spin-scattering significantly reduces injected spin polarization) is elim…
A hybrid ferromagnet/semiconductor device is used to determine a lower bound on the spin lifetime for conduction electrons in silicon. We use spin precession to self-consistently measure the drift velocity vs. drift field of spin-polarized electrons and use this electronic control to change the transit time between el…
We report an experimental investigation of the caging motion in a uniformly heated granular fluid for a wide range of filling fractions, varphi. At low varphi the classic diffusive behavior of a fluid is observed. However, as varphi is increased, temporary cages develop and particles become increasingly trapped by the…
The role of surface plasmon in second harmonic generation from arrays of gold nanorod particles excited by femtosecond laser pulses is investigated as a function of incident light polarization and irradiation wavelength. In addition to photoluminescence, a peak of second harmonic is observed and is found to depend on…
With an overall 5 year survival rate as low as 15% for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), even with surgical intervention and the use of newer molecules in adjuvant chemotherapy, there is an urgent need for new biological targets and associated novel anti-cancer agents. The present study was undertaken to evaluate th…
