The electronic structure of Mn in amorphous Si (a-MnxSi1−x) is studied by x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Mn L3,2 edges for x=0.005−0.18. Except for the x=0.005 sample, which shows a slight signature of Mn2+ atomic multiplets associated with a local Mn moment, all samples have broad and featureless L3,2 absorptio…

The intense bursts of heat released by explosively reacting multilayer foils can be controlled and used as heat sources in joining technologies. We use this method to produce Si/solder/Si joints to characterize the microstructure of the multilayer foil in the reacted state as well as the foil/solder interface. The res…

The aging effect of a 0.2mol% Fe-doped 0.62Pb(Mg1∕3Nb2∕3)O3–0.38PbTiO3 single crystal was investigated. The authors found that aging induced a double ferroelectric hysteresis loop and a giant recoverable electrostrain of 0.8% at an electric field of 1.2kV∕mm in the ⟨001⟩-oriented tetragonal crystal. This result is muc…

ABSTRACT Whey protein, a by‐product of cheese manufacture, can be used to make edible films and coatings that are oxygen, aroma, oil and/or moisture barriers. Dried peanut kernels were packed into whey protein concentrate (WPC)–olive oil composite films and stored at 25C for 4 weeks. Peroxide value (PV), moisture upta…

We have measured steady state photoinduced absorption (PIA) of PbS quantum dot (QD) film in an energy range of interband electronic transitions at low temperature. PIA spectra show both positive and negative PIAs corresponding to five consecutive interband transitions. The close resemblance between PIA spectrum and th…

We have found that an addition of SnO in a bismuth-borate glass, CaO–B2O3–Bi2O3–Al2O3–TiO2, decreases the optical absorption coefficient in the visible region, in which selective crystallization of TiO2 was observed after heat treatment. Since selective crystallization of TiO2 was also attained in the SnO-containing g…

Ferroelectric SrBi 2 Ta 2 O 9 (SBT) thin films have been deposited by the radio-frequency magnetron sputtering technique on bare p-Si as well as on HfO 2 insulating buffer p-Si. XRD patterns revealed the formation of a well-crystallized SBT perovskite thin film on the HfO 2 buffer layer. The electrical properties of t…

Cobalt-doped (1−x)BiScO3-xPbTiO3 piezoelectric ceramics were fabricated by conventional solid state synthesis, in which a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) region was observed in the compositional range of 0.48⩽x⩽0.53 from the phase structure measurement. Co doping in the 0.50BiScO3–0.50PbTiO3 ceramics resulted in a r…

Air-stable n-type field effect transistors were fabricated with an axially oxygen substituted metal phthalocyanine, tin (IV) phthalocyanine oxide (SnOPc), as active layers. The SnOPc thin films showed highly crystallinity on modified dielectric layer, and the electron field-effect mobility reached 0.44cm2V−1s−1. After…

The unique geometry of multilayer thin films, with layer thicknesses on the nanoscale, gives rise to a wide range of novel properties and behavior that are not observed in the bulk. The novel behavior is critically dependent on the microstructure of the films. This paper reviews the use of a range of transmission elec…
