We have studied the magnetic anisotropy of Ga1−xMnxAs thin films grown by low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs (311)A substrates by means of ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The angular dependence of the ferromagnetic resonance fields observed can be explained by two main contributions to the magnetic a…

Fe ions of dose 5×1016cm−2 were implanted at 200keV into a-plane ZnO epitaxial films. The epitaxial quality of the postannealed samples was verified by x-ray diffraction ω-rocking curves and φ scans, whereas x-ray absorption spectroscopy identified the presence of both Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions, as well as changes in their r…

Abstract Semifluorinated azobenzene liquid‐crystalline side‐chain polymers with different perfluoroalkyl lengths are used to develop surface relief gratings (SRGs). With sufficient fluorinated side‐chain lengths, surface relief gratings could be completely suppressed due to the self‐assembled liquid‐crystalline order…

Amorphous GeOx alloys were prepared by evaporation of GeO2 powder on substrates maintained at 100°C. The evolution of the structure was investigated by infrared-absorption spectrometry, Raman spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy experiments for annealing temperatures less than 600°C. These experiments all…

We examine the B dosage dependence of the lattice and electronic structures of a heavily B doped layer formed by multiple-energy B-implantation into diamond (up to 1.7×1017Bcm−2) at an elevated temperature. The resultant highly B doped diamond layer exhibits p-type conduction with very low sheet resistance of 90Ω∕◻ (0…

The hydrogen desorption kinetics from pure and Nb-doped MgH2 samples was studied as function of the Nb concentration (6×10−4<[Nb∕Mg]<5×10−2). Structural and kinetics analyses indicate that Nb acts as catalyst both when Nb atoms aggregate forming NbH clusters dispersed in the MgH2 and also when Nb is cont…

White-light-emitting CdSe quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized at room temperature (RT, ∼23°C) using an organometallic colloidal growth process. These QDs are characterized by high and reproducible quantum yields (ΦPL∼0.4) as well as by unusual spectral broadening [full width at half maximum (FWHM) ∼150nm) despite of t…

Ultrananocrystalline diamond is a unique form of carbon with grain sizes in the 3-5 nm region. This nanostructure has profound implications on electronic transport, as ~10% of carbon is at the grain boundaries. Thus, this material has significant π bonding which governs the majority of the electrical conductivity due…
