We propose a novel ferroelectric-gate field-effect transistor (FET) with a polar semiconductor channel, which is called a controlled-polarization-type ferroelectric-gate FET. The essential factor for this device is the stabilization of the spontaneous polarization of the ferroelectric film by the spontaneous polarizat…

Abstract N,N ‐Bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)formamide (BHF) was synthesized efficiently and used as a new plasticizer for corn starch to prepare thermoplastic starch (TPS). The hydrogen bond interaction between BHF and starch was proven by Fourier‐transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy. As detected by scanning electron microsco…

Using first-principles calculations, we show that nanopatterned graphite films (NPGFs) can exhibit magnetism in analogy to graphene-based nanostructures (GBNs). In particular, graphite films with patterned nanoscale triangular holes and channels with zigzag edges all have ferromagnetic ground states. The magnetic mome…

The structural stability of cubic KMF3 (M: Mg, Zn, Co, Ni) perovskites has been studied by powder X-ray diffraction under pressure. Neither superlattice reflections nor peak splitting associated to a phase transition were detected in the 0–10 GPa pressure range. Furthermore, KMgF3 showed no structural changes up to 50…

In the present work, we study the phase composition of ZrO2-TiO2 system by means of XRD and Raman spectroscopy, using also TG-ATD, and N2 adsorption isotherms as complementary characterization techniques. TiO2-ZrO2 samples of selected compositions (0, 10, 90, 50 and 100% in weight of TiO2) were prepared by sol-gel met…

Understanding the rates at which fluid flows into clay interlayers at the molecular level is fundamental to designing an effective clay barrier system. In this work, molecular interactions at the Na-montmorillonite (MMT)-water interface, emphasizing the flow properties of the clay interlayer, have been studied at the…

Metamaterial is an artificial material in which the effective phase constant can be controlled by the internal physical periodic structure of the transmission line. Effective phase constant is designed to be of any value, which may be small, large, approximately zero, or negative, attained by changing the dimensions o…
