Optical photobleaching experiments were used to directly measure the molecular mobility of PMMA during creep and recovery to study the interaction between mechanical deformation and physical aging. Experiments were performed both on PMMA glasses with different aging histories at T g − 14 K and on PMMA melts aged to eq…

Photochromic silver-containing mesoporous titania thin films are used as writable or rewritable data carriers. Continuous wave UV and visible laser radiations, respectively, can either repeatedly print and completely erase micropatterns on their surface or engrave permanent micropatterns, depending on the laser intens…

Beam me up: A novel two-step process allows iron nanostructures to be generated locally on SiOx/Si at 300 K. The surface is first locally activated by an electron beam. Then the activated structures are exposed to [Fe(CO)5], which decomposes and grows autocatalytically to give pure Fe nanocrystals.

A series of ZnSe nanocrystals was synthesized in the range of pH 6.5−11.5 in aqueous solution by using glutathione (γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine, GSH) as ligand. The photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of the ZnSe nanocrystals were dependent on the pH of the reaction solutions, which increased from 0.5 to 23% as…

Two sets of identical tungsten (W) targets are irradiated at 300 K with 12.3 MeV W 4+ ions to peak damage levels ranging from 0.5 to 10 displacements per atom (dpa). This results in a damage profile that is peaked at ∼0.8 µm and extends to a depth of ∼1.5 µm. Both sets of targets are exposed to high-density ( n e,cent…

Abstract The sensitivity of infrared (IR) vibration spectroscopy can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude if plasmonic electromagnetic nearfield enhancement is exploited. For maximum enhancement the plasmonic resonance needs to be strong, which cannot be achieved by randomly grown metal island films that on aver…

From a combination of careful and detailed theoretical and experimental studies, we demonstrate that the Boltzmann theory including all scattering mechanisms gives an excellent account, with no adjustable parameters, of high electric field transport in single as well as double-oxide graphene transistors. We further sh…

Discrete mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNSs) with a narrow size distribution were prepared by a newly developed method, which is based on the emulsion system containing Si(OEt) 4 (TEOS), water, cationic surfactant, and basic amino acid under weakly basic conditions (pH 9−10). The average 20 nm sized discrete MSNSs h…

Mg-Ti alloys have uncommon optical and hydrogen absorbing properties, originating from a ``spinodal-like'' microstructure with a small degree of chemical short-range order in the atomic distribution. In the present study we artificially engineer short-range order by depositing Pd-capped Mg/Ti multilayers with differen…

In this work we demonstrate that maximally localized Wannier functions (MLWFs) based on Kohn-Sham band structures provide a very robust and systematic way to construct realistic, materials-specific tight-binding models for further theoretical analysis. In particular, we construct MLWFs for the $\text{Mn}\text{ }{e}_{g…
