Abstract The carbon nanotube/polypropylene conductive composites with a percolation threshold as low as 0.25 wt% were fabricated by solid state alloying. This solid state alloying method uses the super‐high speed mechanical shearing (at 10,000 rpm) to process the entangled catalytically grown carbon nanotubes (CNTs) a…

We propose a scheme of electromagnetically induced left-handedness in a dense atomic vapor medium. By applying an incoherent pump field to manipulate the populations in atomic levels, and a strong coherent field to create quantum coherence, the magnetic part of the probe field can be amplified instead of strong absorp…

The effects of phase separation on the structure and photoconductivity kinetics in Sn(x)Sb(20)Se(80-x) (x = 10,11,12.5) glassy films have been studied. Crystalline peaks for SnSe(2), Sn(2)Sb(4)Se(8) and Sn(4)Sb(4)Se(10) phases are found in x = 12.5 films, while Sb(2)Se(3) is the other major phase revealed from x-ray d…

We introduce a new beam steering concept of the "Risley grating" that consists of independently rotating inline polarization gratings (PGs). The Risley grating concept replaces the bulky prismatic elements of the Risley prisms with thin plates containing polarization gratings, and employs their highly polarization-sen…

Yttrium orthovanadate (YVO 4 ) nanoparticles with nearly spherical shape were successfully synthesized via a molten salt method at a low temperature of 200°C. The as‐prepared powders were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and UV‐Vis spectroscopy, respectively. The results show that i…

Cu‐doped CaTiO 3 ‐based polycrystalline ceramics have been prepared by the conventional solid‐state sintering. Our results indicate that the dielectric constant can be enhanced greatly by increasing the Cu‐doped content, which show weak frequency and temperature dependence. The fitted activation energy is almost same…

Abstract Infrared (IR) spectroscopy revealed that dimethyl ether (DME) undergoes partial dissociation on pure and rhodium‐containing CeO 2 at 300 K to yield methoxy and methyl species. This process is promoted by the presence of rhodium. By means of thermal desorption measurements (TPD), the adsorption of DME on Rh/Ce…

A special configuration of white-light scanning interferometer is described for measuring the absolute air gap thickness between two planar plates brought into close proximity. The measured gap is not located in any interference arm of the interferometer, but acts as an amplitude-and-phase modulator of the light sourc…

Preparation of ZnO/organic/ZnO “sandwich” semiconductor hybrid structures by molecular beam epitaxy is reported. Overgrowth of the organic layer becomes possible because ZnO epitaxy requires exceptionally low substrate temperatures. The molecule, a spirobifluorene derivative, withstands ZnO overgrowth without degradat…

Percolation in colloidal suspensions is sometimes simulated by the random insertion of impenetrable particles into a box. However, configurations generated in this way are not representative of an equilibrated suspension. Here, we quantify the effect of the insertion method on the percolation threshold for systems of…

Abstract Unmodified (LDH) and modified (mLDH) layered double hydroxides have been added to gum and ZnO‐cured carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR). It was observed that both LDH and mLDH inhibit the formation of ionic cross‐links between XNBR and ZnO quite significantly, as is evident from DMA and FT‐IR studies. The supp…
