Abstract Bulk polymerization of ϵ‐caprolactone (CL), 1,4‐dioxan‐2‐one (PDX), and mixtures of PDX and CL was carried out by initiation with Al(O sec Bu) 3 in a co‐rotating twin‐screw extruder through a fast single‐step process. Both homopolymerizations and copolymerization of PDX and CL proceed very rapidly and reach a…

The leakage current response of high-permittivity columnar-grown (Ba,Sr)TiO3 thin films has been studied at elevated temperatures under dc load. We observe a thermally activated current prior to the onset of the resistance degradation with an activation energy of EA=1.1eV. A point defect model is applied to calculate…

The processes of spin diffusion and relaxation are studied theoretically and numerically for quantum computation applications. Two possible realizations of a spin quantum computer (SQC) are analyzed: (i) a boundary spin chain in a 2D spin array and (ii) an isolated spin chain. In both cases, spin diffusion and relaxat…

Strain at surfaces and interfaces play an important role in the optical and electronic properties of materials. MeV ion-induced strain determination in single crystal silicon substrates and in Ag (nanoisland)/Si(111) at surface and interfaces has been carried out using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and surfac…

Vertically aligned CdTe nanorods were fabricated by electrodeposition and were applied for the active layer of solar cells after being combined with poly(3-octylthiophene) (P3OT), a conjugated polymer. The electrodeposited CdTe showed an n-type behavior with the electric resistivity and the electron density of 2×106Ωc…

We report on the formation of good Pt Schottky contacts on the Zn-terminated n-type ZnO (0001) surfaces (∼2×1017cm−3) using surface treatment with a hydrogen peroxide solution. The Pt contacts on organic solvent-cleaned ZnO (0001) show leaky behavior with a high leakage current of ∼−0.05A under −5V reverse bias voltag…

Single-dot luminescence spectroscopy was used to study the emission linewidth of individual silicon nanocrystals from low temperatures up to room temperature. The results show a continuous line narrowing towards lower temperatures with a linewidth as sharp as 2 meV at 35 K. This value, clearly below the thermal broade…

X-ray diffraction experiments were performed on MnO confined in mesoporous silica SBA-15 and MCM-41 matrices with different channel diameters. The measured patterns were analyzed by profile analysis and compared to numerical simulations of the diffraction from confined nanoparticles. From the lineshape and the specifi…

We demonstrate that high transmission through sharp bends in photonic crystal waveguides can be described by a simple model of the Fano resonance where the waveguide bend plays a role of a specific localized defect. We derive effective discrete equations for two types of the waveguide bends in two-dimensional photonic…

We investigate excitonic polaron states comprising a local exciton and phonons in the longitudinal optical (LO) mode by solving the Schrödinger equation. We derive an exact expression for the ground state (GS), which includes multi-phonon components with coefficients satisfying the Huang-Rhys factors. The recombinatio…

A model describing the asymmetric giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) in field-annealed amorphous ribbons is proposed. It is assumed that the ribbon consists of an inner amorphous core and surface hard magnetic crystalline layers. The model is based on a simultaneous solution of linearizied Maxwell equations and Landau-Lifsh…

Results are presented of studying the stochastic resonance (SR) in conductors with bcc lattice and narrow conduction band. In such materials, SR has a feature, namely, the weak-signal gain as a function of the additive and non-correlated noise level can have two maxima, i.e., double SR takes place.

A novel type of ruthenium oxide (RuO(2))-modified multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) nanocomposite electrode (RuO(2)/MWNT) for supercapacitors has been prepared. The nanocomposites were formed by depositing Ru by magnetic-sputtering in an Ar/O(2) atmosphere onto MWNTs, which were synthesized on Ta plates by chemical…

We report the first observation of third-harmonic signals from individual gold colloids down to 40 nm diameter. Excited with 1-ps pulses at 1500 nm, the colloids generate 500-nm light, close to the plasmon resonance. The third-harmonic intensity varies as the square of the colloid surface area. Although weak, the thir…

Halloysite, a naturally occurring, 50-nm-diameter tubular material, has been utilized as a new biomineralization nanoreactor to form urease-catalyzed CaCO3. The CaCO3 synthesis occurs exclusively inside the halloysite nanotubes, with no carbonate found on the outer surface of the nanotubes or in solution. Precipitated…
