Electrochemical measurements of hydrogen permeation through Pd/Nb multilayers on Pd substrates are described. Pronounced retardation of permeation is observed for small hydrogen contents. To clarify whether this effect is due to special interface hydrogen states, the permeation is modeled based on the bulk properties…
Electrically conducting polypyrrole-treated films have recently been shown to influence the morphology and function of mammalian cells in vitro. This type of polymer represents a possible alternative biomaterial for use in vascular implantation. The present study compared the in vitro biocompatibility of the five diff…
The real ( ε 1 ) and imaginary ( ε 2 ) parts of the dielectric function of polycrystalline samples of monoclinic CuO have been measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry in the 1.2–5.0-eV photon-energy range at room temperature. The CuO crystals having a grain size of the order of 1×1 mm 2 were successfully grown by a flo…
Poly(vinyl acetate- co -vinyl alcohol) copolymers (P(VAc- co -VA)) were synthesized by hydrolysis−alcoholysis of PVAc. The miscibility, crystallization, and morphology of poly(β-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and P(VAc- co -VA) blends were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, optical microscopy (OM), and SAXS. It is…
We present a comprehensive study of the aging process in HCl-doped polyaniline exposed to air. A complete set of measurements was carried out on three series of samples stemmed from the same preparation batch, and aged at 100, 120, and 140 \ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}C for times up to one month. All the samples…
We present Raman spectra of four semiconductor doped glasses and a single crystal of ${\mathrm{CdS}}_{0.55}{\mathrm{Se}}_{0.45}$ in the range 30--800 ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ in the backscattering geometry. This includes the first-order Raman scattering from the disorder-activated zone-edge phonons a…
The use of starch microcrystals as biodegradable particulate filler is evaluated by processing composite materials with a weight fraction of starch ranging from 0 to 60%. In a previous work [Macromolecules, 29, 7624] the preparation technique of a colloidal suspension of hydrolyzed starch and the processing of composi…
Using the extended Hubbard model and sum-over-state method, we have calculated the linear polarizability $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ and the third-order nonlinear polarizability $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ for carbon nanotubes with finite lengths. We find that the chiral symmetry of nanotubes with finite length has a great effect…
We report an investigation of the properties of CdSe nanocrystal dispersions using small-angle x-ray scattering. These nanocrystals are prepared from organometallic precursors using high-temperature solution chemistry. The study provides direct and accurate measures of the nanocrystal size and size distribution. The l…
The electronic structures of the narrow ${t}_{2g}$ band systems ${\mathrm{YTiO}}_{3}$ and ${\mathrm{YVO}}_{3}$ are studied using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and local-density approximation (LDA)+U method. GGA fails in reproducing the insulating nature of ${\mathrm{YTiO}}_{3}$ and the correct magnetic…
We report on experimental evidence of hydrogen-boron interactions in boron-doped diamond from hydrogen diffusion investigations. Original deuterium diffusion studies in homoepitaxial B-doped diamond films reveal that hydrogen diffusion is limited by the B concentration with a low effective diffusion activation energy.…
A comprehensive study of leakage conduction in Pb(ZrxTi1−x)O3films with Pt electrodes is carried out. The conduction properties of films prepared in different ways (sol–gel coating, metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, sputtering) were studied by using different experimental techniques including variation of the ap…
The tetracalcium dialuminum hydroxide carbonate pentahydrate Ca4Al2(OH)12CO3.5H2O is a layered compound constituted by positively charged [Ca4Al2(OH)12]2+ main layers and negatively charged [CO3, 5H2O]2− interlayers. The Al3+ and Ca2+ ions are six- and sevenfold coordinated by O atoms, respectively. Water molecules oc…
We analyze from a theoretical point of view the optical properties of arrays of carbon nanotubes filled with silver. Dependence of these properties on the different parameters involved is studied using a transfer matrix formalism able to work with tensorlike dielectric functions and including the full electromagnetic…
We study the size dependence of electron and hole quantum size levels in spherical semiconductor nanocrystals. An analytical theory of the quantum size levels within a spherical eight-band Pidgeon and Brown model has been developed, which takes into account both the coupling of conduction and valence bands and the com…
Using time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy we have measured the lifetime of the F-center luminescence from α-Al2O3:C. The measurements reveal a lifetime of 35–36 ms at room temperature, decreasing to <2 ms over the temperature range from 370 to 500 K. The decrease in the lifetime is shown to follow a cl…
We have succeeded in observing the size dependent photoluminescence (PL) from Ge nanocrystals (nc-Ge) with 0.9--5.3 nm in average diameter ${(d}_{\mathrm{ave}})$ in the near-infrared region. The nc-Ge were fabricated by rf cosputtering of Ge and ${\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$ and post annealing at $800\ifmmode^\circ\else\textde…
We have studied the surfaces of zirconia $({\mathrm{ZrO}}_{2})$ by first-principles calculations using density functional theory. We predict surface energies and relaxations for the principal surfaces of different bulk phases of zirconia. We find that the stoichiometric tetragonal(111) and monoclinic(1\ifmmode\bar\els…
We have made electrical measurements on a system using carbon nanotubes as the dopant material. A semiconjugated, organic polymer was mixed with carbon nanotubes to form a wholly organic composite. Composite formation from low to high nanotube concentration increases the conductivity dramatically by ten orders of magn…

The array is designed to offer better than 80mK NEdT using f/1.8 optics. The design incorporates advanced on-ROIC signal processing electronics that allows bolometer element non-uniform…
