We have studied $\mathrm{Zn}{(\mathrm{C}\mathrm{N})}_{2}$ at high pressure using Raman spectroscopy and report Gr\"uneisen parameters of the soft phonons. The phonon frequencies and eigenvectors obtained from ab initio calculations are used for the assignment of the observed phonon spectra. Out of the 11 zone-center o…

A simple multiferroic composite with a single period of 1-3-type structure, consisting of one Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) rod embedded in a Terfenol-D/epoxy mixture, is reported. The coupling interaction between this PZT rod and the surrounding mixture produces a giant magnetoelectric response (see figure) of ca. 500 mV cm–1 Oe…

We examine the contact angle of water droplets on polystyrene (PS) thin films of varying thicknesses supported by silicon wafers under both air and pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2) environments. At 23 degrees C, the contact angle is found to increase upon increasing CO2 pressure in the vapor regime and then levels off…

We carried out micro-Raman spectroscopy of graphene layers over the temperature range from approximately 80 K to 370 K. The number of layers was independently confirmed by the quantum Hall measurements and atomic force microscopy. The measured values of the temperature coefficients for the G and 2D-band frequencies of…

Nanoindentation-induced phase transformation in silicon has been studied. A series of nanoindentations were made with the sharp diamond Berkovich tip. During nanoindentations, maximum load ranged from 2000 $μ$N to 5000 $μ$N, with a 1000 $μ$N/sec loading rate. Slow unloading rate at 100$μ$N/sec was chosen to favor the…

We have prepared light emitting nanocrystalline porous silicon (PS) layers by electrochemical anodization of crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafer and characterized the c-Si/PS heterojunctions using temperature dependence of dark current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. The reverse bias I-V characteristics of c-Si/PS heteroj…

We present a Tight-Binding Molecular Dynamics investigation of the stability, the geometrical and the electronic structure of suspended monatomic transition metal chains. We show that linear and stable monatomic chains are formed at temperature equal or smaller than 500 K for Au, 200 K for Ag and 4 K for Cu. We also e…

Single-crystalline, narrow-size- distribution ultrafine ZnS nanobelts (see figure), revealing a notable quantum-confinement effect, have been synthesized at a high yield by controlling the evaporation and agglomeration rates. Field-emission measurements show ultrafine ZnS nanobelts are very good field emitters with a…

Atomistic simulations were employed to investigate the structure and energy of asymmetric tilt grain boundaries in Cu and Al. In this work, we examine the Σ5 and Σ13 systems with a boundary plane rotated about the ⟨ 100 ⟩ misorientation axis, and the Σ9 and Σ11 systems rotated about the ⟨ 110 ⟩ misorientation axis. As…

The effects of the dielectric constant of the glass substrates on liquid crystal lens performances are studied. Lens properties and the optimum geometrical structure almost does not change with the dielectric constant. The driving voltages become low when glass substrates of high dielectric constant are used.
