The influence of annealing temperature on the hydrophilic property of WO 3 thin films deposited by thermal evaporation and sol–gel dip-coating methods was studied and compared for the first time. The thermal evaporated WO 3 thin films annealed at 400 °C showed a nearly super-hydrophilic property without UV and visible…

Novel electrochromic copolymers from o -phenylenediamine ( o PD) with aniline (ANi) were facilely synthesized by a chemical oxidative polymerization. The synthesis, structure, and properties of the copolymers were systematically studied by changing o PD content and polymerization temperature. The dependence of the pol…

This work evaluates the influence of three different intensities of refinement of sisal pulp and the effect of accelerated aging cycles on the behavior of composites. Fiber-cements were prepared by the slurry de-watering method and pressing as a crude simulation of the Hatschek process. Mechanical behavior of composit…

The x-ray structure factor for liquid SiO2 has been measured by laser heating of an aerodynamically levitated droplet. The main structural changes of the melt compared to the room temperature glass are associated with an increase in the size of the SiO4 tetrahedra, indicating a small reduction in the average Si-O-Si b…

In this work, we investigate the configuration of the contact line of a water drop lying on an ultrahydrophobic post surface using the numerical algorithm Surface Evolver. For the special situation of Cassie wetting, we propose a modified definition of the contact line as the line in space where the meniscus starts to…

Abstract Wood fiber reinforced polymer composites represent a relatively small but rapidly growing material class, extensively applied in interior building applications and in the automotive industry. The polymer‐wood fiber composites utilize fibers as reinforcing filler in the polymer matrix and are known to be advan…

A three-terminal spectroscopy that probes both subsurface energy barriers and interband optical transitions in a semiconductor heterostructure is demonstrated. A metal-base transistor with a unipolar p-type semiconductor collector embedding InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) is studied. Using minority/majority carrier injec…

We modify a recently theoretically suggested multilayer negative-index photonic metamaterial design and fabricate corresponding structures with up to three functional layers (seven actual layers) for the first time to our knowledge. Measured transmittance and reflectance spectra agree well with theory.

Bi1-xLaxFeO3 (x ≤ 0-0.25) multiferroic ceramics were prepared to study the compositional driven structural transformation and ferroelectric- paraelectric phase transition. Rietveld-refined crystal structure parameters revealed the existence of a rhombohedral R3c symmetry in BiFeO3, a triclinic P1 symmetry in Bi0.95La0…

We report on the switching of a magnetic vortex core in a sub-micron Permalloy disk, induced by a short current pulse applied in the film plane. Micromagnetic simulations including the adiabatic and non-adiabatic spin-torque terms are used to investigate the current-driven magnetization dynamics. We predict that a cor…

Using magnetron sputtering, a spatial composition spread approach was applied successfully to obtain 48-member libraries of the Bi2Sr2YxCa1-xCu2Oy (0.5<= x <=1)cuprate superconducting system. The libraries of each system were deposited onto (100) single crystal MgO, mounted on a water cooled rotating table, using two…

In a recent publication, Pfeffer and Zawadzki [cond-mat/0607150; Phys. Rev. B 74, 115309 (2006)] attempted a calculation of electron g factor in III-V heterostructures. The authors emphasize that their outcome is in strong discrepancy with our original result [Ivchenko and Kiselev, Sov. Phys. Semicond. 26, 827 (1992)]…

The restoration of metallicity in the high-temperature, cubic phase of ${\mathrm{Li}}_{4}{\mathrm{C}}_{60}$ represents a remarkable feature for a member of the ${A}_{4}{\mathrm{C}}_{60}$ family $(A=\text{alkali}$ metal), invariably found to be insulators.

The distribution of cations between tetrahedral (A) sites and octahedral (B) sites in ferrite spinels has been studied using K-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The samples include natural and synthetic end-member magnetites (Fe₃O₄), a natural Mn- and Zn-rich magnetite (franklinite) and synthetic binary, ternary and…

We investigate the problem of designing metamaterial structures which operate at very low frequencies. As an example, we consider the case of a DC magnetic cloak, which requires a variable, anisotropic magnetic permeability with both paramagnetic and diamagnetic components. We show that a structure based on supercondu…

We have grown and studied high quality SrRuO3 films grown by MBE as well as PLD. By changing the oxygen activity during deposition we were able to make SrRuO3 samples that were stoichiometric (low oxygen activity) or with ruthenium vacancies (high oxygen activity). Samples with strontium vacancies were found impossibl…

In this paper, a correlation between structural and magnetic properties of Fe-implanted ZnO is presented. High fluence Fe + implantation into ZnO leads to the formation of superparamagnetic α-Fe nanoparticles. High vacuum annealing at 823 K results in the growth of α-Fe particles, but the annealing at 1073 K oxidizes…

Single-layer carbon, or graphene, demonstrates amazing transport properties, such as the minimum conductivity near $\frac{4e^2}{h}$ independent of shapes and mobility of samples. This indicates there exist some unusual effects due to specific Dirac dispersion relation of fermion in two dimensions. By deriving fermion-…
