Silver chloride/polyaniline (PANI) core-shell composites were synthesized through a facile one-step process in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). PVP not only acted as an anchor agent leading to the formation of the core-shell structure but also prevented the aggregation of PANI efficiently. Transmission elec…

We report on intrinsic p-type ZnO thin films by plasma-assisted metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The optimal results give a resistivity of 12.7Ωcm, a Hall mobility of 2.6cm2∕Vs, and a hole concentration of 1.88×1017cm−3. The oxygen concentration is increased in the intrinsic p-type ZnO, compared with the n-typ…

Fully epitaxial magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) were fabricated with a Co-based full-Heusler alloy Co2Cr0.6Fe0.4Al (CCFA) thin film, whose composition was close to the stoichiometric one, and a MgO tunnel barrier. Cross-sectional high-resolution transmission electron microscope observations indicated that all layers…

The interface capacitance model is briefly revised. It is emphasized that this is a device model related to the boundary condition for polarization and unable to explain the thickness evolution of the ferroelectric properties. The model can be applied to extract the properties of the film from those measured in the ca…

As-synthesized ZnO nanostructures with a bladed bundle-like architecture have been fabricated from a flower-like precursor ZnO.0.33ZnBr(2).1.74H(2)O via a mechanism of dissolution-recrystallization. Experimental conditions, such as initial reactants and reaction time, are examined. The results show that no bladed bund…

The origin and stability of luminescence are critical issues for Si nanocrystals which are intended for use as biological probes. The optical luminescence of alkyl-monolayer-passivated silicon nanocrystals was studied under excitation with vacuum ultraviolet photons (5.1–23eV). Blue and orange emission bands were obse…

ZnO thin films have been grown along the nonpolar [101¯0] direction by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. The ZnO (101¯0) surface develops well defined facets. The orientation of the topographic normals reveals that the inclination angle of the facets increases as thicker films are considered, attaining a maximum valu…

The one-dimensional fragmentation of a dynamically expanding ring (Mott’s problem) is studied numerically to obtain the fragment signatures under different strain rates. An empirical formula is proposed to calculate an average fragment size. Rayleigh distribution is found to describe the statistical properties of the…

The radiative recombination rate of excitons confined in Si nanocrystals was modified by placing a Au layer nearby. Oscillation of the rate was observed when the distance between the active layer and the Au layer was changed. By comparing the experimentally obtained oscillation behavior with a calculated one, the radi…

Communicating better over a long distance: The bis(ferrocenylethynyl)ethene 1 undergoes E→Z photoisomerization upon excitation of a charge-transfer band with visible light (546 nm). This structural change leads to a decrease in the “through-bond” mixed-valence interaction between the two ferrocene units.
