We report about field emission from reconstructed phosphorus-doped diamond surfaces. In order to reconstruct the surface, annealing at 950°C for 60min in a high vacuum system has been applied. Field emission shows the lowest threshold field for the reconstructed surface of 16V∕μm, while the threshold fields for oxidiz…

Abstract— Liquid‐crystal lasers exhibit narrow linewidth, large coherence area, and low threshold laser emission. Moreover, the wavelength of the laser line can be readily tuned using a variety of different external stimuli, including electric fields. These combined features make them particularly attractive as compac…

In situ x-ray diffraction was performed while annealing thin film Au∕Cu binary diffusion couples to directly observe diffusion at elevated temperatures. The temperature dependence of the interdiffusion coefficient was determined from isothermal measurements at 700, 800, and 900°C, where Cu and Au form a disordered con…

A new multiscale simulation approach is introduced that couples atomistic-scale simulations using molecular dynamics (MD) with continuum-scale simulations using the recently developed material point method (MPM). In MPM, material continuum is represented by a finite collection of material points carrying all relevant…

Abstract— A non‐synthetic approach to modify liquid crystals (LCs) by dispersing low concentrations of ferroelectric nanoparticles is reported. These dilute colloids are stable and appear similar to a pure LC. However, by changing the concentration and the type of ferroelectric particles, the physical properties of th…

Diatoms have been classified historically as either centric or pennate based on a number of features, cell outline foremost among them. The consensus among nearly every estimate of the diatom phylogeny is that the traditional pennate diatoms (Pennales) constitute a well‐supported clade, whereas centric diatoms do not.…

The generation of microwave plasma in liquid with vapor bubbles has been achieved and will soon be applied to high-speed chemical vapor deposition. Vapor bubbles are induced from an electrode by heating. The deposition rate of diamondlike carbon films depends on the pressure and the power of the microwave supply. Poly…
