Thermal chemical vapor deposition at temperatures as low as 423 K, using Ru3(CO)12 with no accompanying reactive gas, forms pure, uniform, and smooth Ru films on Ta and low-resistivity films on SiO2. A 2.5-nm-thick Ru film fully covers the underlying Ta and the Ru film is thermally stable up to 573 K. Unlike Ta, Ru fi…

We report detailed Raman and photoluminescence (PL) measurements in Si/Si1−xGex nanostructures grown by molecular-beam epitaxy under conditions of near Stranski–Krastanov (S-K) growth mode. In a series of samples with x controllably increased from 0.098 to 0.53, we observe that an increase in Raman signal related to G…

We have proposed a possibility of chirality assignment of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes in nanotube field-effect transistors (FETs) by micro-photocurrent spectroscopy. The nanotube FETs were fabricated by utilizing position-controlled nanotube growth technique using alcohol chemical vapor deposition. Photo…

Material storage in the inner spaces of nanocarbon materials is visualized for the first time. It is shown that creating paths of a specific size to the inner space (see Figure) is indispensable for material storage in carbon nanopores, and that the adsorption rate for fullerene molecules is largely dependent on the n…

Frequency dependence Tm(f ) of the permittivity maximum temperature observed in BaTi1−xSnx03, x=0.2 (BTS20), confirms that this composition is close above threshold xc for relaxor behavior in BTS. The low-frequency permittivity carries a ln(1/f )-frequency dependence in the vicinity of Tm, both for x=0.2 and x=0.125&a…

The problem of imaging for a slab of a lossless left-handed material with refractive index n=−(1−σ)1/2 is solved analytically for |σ|≪1. The electromagnetic field behavior is determined largely by singularities arising from the excitation of surface polaritons with wave vector q→±∞. Depending on the sign of σ, the nea…
